๐บ๐ฆ๐ซ๐ฎ๐งต๐ฃ๏ธOur friend #KennethGregg in Ukraine here again: (1/6) "Business as usual on the fronts, which means that we continue to advance on the southern and northern flanks of Bakhmut. Our boys retook about 400 metres of our area in the same way as before, +
2:"...driving the Russians out of their holes. In addition, a dozen prisoners were taken. At this rate, the Russians will soon be deprived of people on this section of the front. On the northern flank, our control of the grey zone was strengthened. +
3:Avdiivka experiences new attack attempts but with the same result - destroyed Russian tanks and platoons.
The northern front is experiencing a new trend: Russian attacks!!! These attacks are repelled by our Home Guard battalions on site. +
4:"I had lunch with Jens Alstrup, the Danish equivalent of our [Swede] Jonas V Matern but on a motorbike. Jens is a great guy and his Facebook page is worth following. (facebook.com/jens.alstrup.sโฆ) +
5:"Yevgeny Prigozhin has proven to be our best propaganda source. He has started broadcasting videos where he praises our army and predicts a loss for the ordinary Russian army. Now he wants to become head of the Russian Home Guard as well. +
6:"A merger with Wagner would create the power he is currently preaching about: Russia will experience a new revolution because the soldiers are rebelling. Does this sound familiar? "๐

๐บ๐ฆ๐ซ๐ฎ๐งต๐ฃ๏ธOur reporter in Ukraine, Kenneth Gregg, here again: (1/9) "South of Bakhmut we have advanced 400 metres, taking in new Russian holes and capturing a lot of the Russians that were nesting there. It is not only in these areas that the Russians surrender. +
2:"Also near Pervomaiske, 7 of our scouts captured 22 Russians. The rest of their men were involved in friendly artillery fire. These were from Shoigu's so-called Storm unit. In Bakhmut there is only one petrol station left on the outskirts that is under our control, +
3:"...otherwise all the resident buildings are in the hands of Wagner. It is very understandable that Prigozhin wants to withdraw his troops and hand over the responsibility of holding the city to others. They have no buildings that they can use, only gravel piles. +
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 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. +
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.+
