๐บ๐ฆ๐ซ๐ฎ๐งต๐ฃ๏ธ#KennethGregg this morning: (1/8) "After 1 week of good news, it's time for some bad. In principle, the city of Bakhmut is now under the control of the Russians. They are making progress in the western part and there is not much left that is under our control. +
2:"However, we have finally liberated the Stupky area and continue to put pressure on the Russians south of Ivanivske.
At Avdiivka, the enemy conducted four attacks against Pervomaiske. As a result: they lost a couple of tanks and infantry fighting vehicles, and a significant +
3:"...number of infantrymen were killed or captured. The enemy continues to accumulate reserves on the outskirts of Donetsk.
North of Krasnohorivka they attacked our units, resulting in the loss of positions all the way to the railway. +
4:"The situation in the town of Bakhmut is approaching a logical conclusion. The Russians are having a hard time on the flanks, so additional reserves are deployed, including from the so-called Luhansk People's Republic. North of Krasnohorivka, the enemy is partially successful,+
5:"...which will worsen the situation in Avdiivka. The Russians continue their 9-month 'groundhog day' in the Pervomaiske-Nevelske area.
The fact that Bakhmut is now in the hands of the Russians means basically nothing for the practical situation as there is nothing left of +
6:"...the town to benefit from. On the contrary, it could become a serious situation for the Russians in case of an encirclement. Moreover, we have strong defence lines at Chasiv Yar so their advance is probably stopped here. +
7:"At Avdiivka it seems that the Russians have adopted our tactics south of Bakhmut. They have been successful and it took a lot of effort on our part to stop them, but we did it. +
8:"Finally, a reminder that the collection for the body armour plates is ongoing, we are approaching 40% of the target. Use Paypal and kg.greenlife@gmail.com or energy.front2022@gmail.com
Mark the donation with 'Brovary Steel Aid' or 'body armour plates for Ukraine'. "๐

๐บ๐ฆ๐ซ๐ฎ๐งต๐ฃ๏ธ#KennethGregg this morning: (1/9) "At Svatove we have a serious situation near Masiutivka. Prisoners and low-trained military soldiers from Shoigu's unit "storm-z" have arrived in the area, their personal equipment is almost non-existent. +
2:"Shoigu has copied Prigozhin's meat grinder strategy. A large number of aircraft have arrived, monitoring our positions 24/7. We can expect a Russian attack in this area and if successful they will be in position to storm Sinkivka and approach the contact line to Kupyansk.+
3:"At Avdiivka near Krasnohorivka we regained some of the lost areas we lost a few days ago and repelled their new attacks. The Russians continue to build up their reserves and reinforce at the contact line after significant losses in recent attacks. +
๐บ๐ฆ๐ซ๐ฎ๐งต๐ฃ๏ธ#KennethGregg here: (1/6) "We are seeing a new trend on the Donbas front. Since we are pushing hard on the flanks in the north and south, Wagner has realised that the clock is ticking. Therefore, they are now giving everything to take the whole city, at high losses.+
2:"They are advancing, but to what avail if we manage to corner them. Since their reinforcements have been taken from Avdiivka, the Russians have gone on the defensive and their attacks have almost completely subsided. Their reinforcements have been placed on both flanks and +
3:"...our advance has slowed down, but not stopped completely.
We are also in a phase where we are changing crews so don't be surprised if we will see a few days of status quo.+
๐บ๐ฆ๐ซ๐ฎ๐งต๐ฃ๏ธ#KennethGregg on the home front and corruption: (1/6) "Update on the home front and the major arrests department: The Supreme Court has long been known to take bribes, especially under President Poroshenko they were totally protected from investigation and prosecution.+
3:"President Zhelensky tried to address the problem at the beginning of his presidency but faced stiff resistance from the opposition and many of his own people. Apparently the judges of the Supreme Court felt quite safe so they have continued with their activities, until now. +
3:"Yesterday afternoon NABU and SAP performed a coordinated action and arrested the President of the Supreme Court Mr Knyazev for taking bribes amounting to USD 3 million. They then proceeded to search the court itself and found what you see in the picture.
๐บ๐ฆ๐ซ๐ฎ๐งต๐ฃ๏ธ#KennethGregg this morning: (1/9) "We start in Avdiivka where we are pushing Kruta Balka hard. This part of the front has been somewhat overlooked but it plays a major role in the strategy we are now following. As we are advancing towards Kruta Balka. +
2:"Kruta Balka is a main hub for the Russians so they cannot spare manpower from here. For the sake of clarity: it is only 14 kilometres from the front line to Makiivka. In the event of an attack and the capture of Makiivka, we have control of the maintenance lines to Donetsk.+
3:"In Bakhmut we continue to take ground. West of Klishchiivka, the Russians have retreated 1.5 kilometres to avoid being surrounded. Wagner has sent reinforcements to the community because their operations in Bakhmut itself would be threatened if they lose the position.+
๐บ๐ฆ๐ซ๐ฎ๐งต๐ฃ๏ธKenneth Gregg wrote yesterday: (1/14) "The euphoria over our success in Bakhmut has reached unprecedented heights. Therefore, it is time to issue a warning not to start celebrating too early. As Bakhmut is of great political importance, the Russians will bring in even +
2"...more reinforcements in an attempt to stabilise the flanks. We have time to advance until this happens and this is NOT our major offensive. The situation inside Bakhmut is still difficult but not critical. The fighting inside the city is raging and right now nobody knows +
3:"...where the actual front line is. We have stopped Wagner's advance and the centre of gravity is leaning towards gaining ground here as well.
The attack that began in the neighbourhood of Stupochky by the 3rd Brigade was aimed at seeing how strong the Russians were here. +
๐บ๐ฆ๐ซ๐ฎ๐งต๐ฃ๏ธ#KennethGregg here again: (1/7) "The biggest news in the last 24 hours is probably the loss of prestige for the Wagner boss (Prigozhin). Kadyrov switched sides and told him to stay behind and bleed to death. He sent his troops again to storm our positions. +
2:"A huge amount of phosphorus bombs has been used in the last two days. In using them, the enemy cannot send in their foot soldiers as the phosphorus and the small fires are not harmless to them either. +
3:"On to the frontline reporting:
SLOBODA FRONT: Russian artillery shelled our positions south of Vilshana, showing that our troops have advanced with two lines of trees towards the village.
SIEVERSKY DONETS: Our troops attacked Russian trenches near Sakko in the Vantsetti +
