🇺🇦🇫🇮🧵🗣️A short one from #KennethGregg: (1/5) "An intermediate report with some interesting events. During tonight, information about our successful advance at Staromaiorske will be released. Until then I can report that we have advanced up to 700 metres in Bakhmut itself. +
2:"This was announced by the press officer of the Eastern Army this afternoon.
We have blown up railway targets in Bilgorod and Melitopol with Kamikaze drones. Radar installations in Crimea have also been knocked out with missiles.
The Russians are getting nervous in Crimea +
3:"...and today they have evacuated local collaborators and civilians in Armyansk who have been granted Russian passports. They have mined the chemical factory and its stockpile of 200 tonnes of technical ammonia used in the cooling equipment of the Crimean Titan factory. +
4:"In case of an explosion, a cloud of ammonia will cover the surrounding areas in 30 minutes. Even the southern parts of Kherson could be threatened, depending on the wind direction. In other words, an ecocide is being prepared. +
5:"All these measures show that the Russians do not believe that they can stop our offensive."🛑

🇺🇦🇫🇮🧵🗣️Morning update from Kenneth Gregg: (1/8) "We start in Bakhmut where we have good news. The fighting continues southwest of Berkhivka and our people are gaining metre by metre. The big change is west of Klischiivka where the Russians are retreating about 2 km. +
2:"In addition we have now crossed the canal in a slightly larger area. The Russians have sent their 80th guards Tank red banner Regiment which is met by our own 80th armoured brigade. Since the Russians are retreating, it is our 80th that has the momentum. +
3:"At Avdiivka, the Russians have attempted an attack at Vesele, without success. However, they have released a FALSE VIDEO claiming that our 110th Separate Mechanised brigade would lay down their arms. This video is as fake as the one with our 53rd separate Mechanised Brigade. +
🇺🇦🇫🇮🧵🗣️Some more from Kenneth Gregg: (1/10) "Things are continuously happening right now on the Makarivka-Novodarivka line. Makarivka is completely cleared of Russians and fully in our control. Stabilisation measures have been taken and the Russians are retreating. +
2:"We are extending our offensive to the southwest and the situation of the Russians in Rivnopil is getting more and more desperate. They are trying to get in the direction of Novoradivka and then turn east between two small streams and get into better defended lines. +
3:"The only route they could have taken is now under our control, so they flee across open fields. They thus have problems with their own minefields. If they don't give up, they will probably be wiped out.
In Bakhmut there have been reports of about 400 metres of advance at the+
🇺🇦🇫🇮🧵🗣️Kenneth Gregg here with a morning update: (1/9) "I have pretty good news. Officially, we use 1/3 of our forces at this stage of the offensive. The Russians in turn have 90% of their resources in Ukraine concentrated in the Zaporizhzhia region. +
2:"As we have expanded recaptured ground at Novodarivka and Makarivka since the last update, the Russian troops in Rivnopil are now in great danger of being trapped. There is only one way out of this area and it runs parallel to the current front line. +
3:"The units in Rivnopil now have very little chance of receiving supplies. Was this a plan of the General Staff from the beginning? There is a lot of evidence of that right now. We are now able to recapture 60 square kilometres without heavy fighting. +
🇺🇦🇫🇮🧵🗣️#KennethGregg here again: (1/13) "At 03:00 the Ministry of Defence confirmed that Makarivka has been liberated. At the same time, Russian blogs informed that Ukrainian forces are in Staromaiorske. In terms of distance, this is quite realistic for a light motorised unit.+
2:"From a tactical point of view, it is logical to try to advance as quickly as possible before the Russians' reinforcement from Kherson Oblast arrives. it looks like the Russians think the same way and try to prevent us by blowing up a small dam again. +
3:"The river/channel is flooding but not to such an extent that it prevents us from attacking.
When we take Staromaiorske there is only 15 km left to where the Russians have the last defence unit. After that it is a clean road to Mariupol. That said, we use minimal troops and +
🇺🇦🇫🇮🧵🗣️#KennethGregg this morning: (1/13): "We start with some sad news that show that we still have incompetent officers in our army. An ambush on a column of our armoured cars and tanks succeeded because we did not keep a distance between the vehicles. +
2:"When moving towards the front, a distance of 50 metres between vehicles must be kept, as every man in Finland knows. Keeping distance applies to both vehicles and men. We lost 1-2 Leopards in this ambush as well as other vehicles. It is not yet clear if one of the Leopards +
3:"...had mine clearance equipment (if so, it may be one of the ones Finland gave us).
The Washington Post announced yesterday that we have launched the nuclear offensive and that it has been planned by the Americans. Naturally, our Nordic media and their so-called experts +
🇺🇦🇫🇮🧵🗣️Kenneth Gregg here again with...: (1/10) "A front update -
Svatove front: still fighting to improve positions and right now ours have a small advantage.
Kreminna: we have made recon attacks and got better positions.
Bakhmut: The wedge towards Berkhivka has widened and +
2:"...there are signs that the Russians are leaving the community. Also on the southern flank we have pushed the Russians further east and across the canal. Our troops are clearing the area west of the canal, paving the way for our engineer troops to build crossings for our +
3:"...tanks and heavier vehicles on attack orders. It was tactically correct not to use tanks until the terrain is clear of Russians. After the canal we have only 18 km to the main road south and north. If we reach it, we can take the Russians in the back in Donbas and Luhansk. +
