Bakhmut-Soledar Area Frontline Situation🧵
15/01/2023
Overview Map Bakhmut Bakhmut Frontline PT1:
(South)
Russian forces have made advances south and east of Klishchiivka fighting continues in close vicinity to the town.
Russian forces continue assaults towards the northern part of Opytne where heavy battles continue from two directions.

The situation in Soledar is difficult.
Ukrainian forces conduct defensive actions which cause certain losses to brave defenders while inflicting massive losses on Russian forces.

I won’t comment on the operational situation. Some clarification on the situation in Soledar:
The claims of encirclement of large amounts of Ukrainian forces are untrue.
The claims of large gains in and around the town are true.
Certain things cannot be talked about but will come to light soon with time.

Bakhmut Frontline 18/12/2022
The toughest fighting is towards the eastern and southern sides of the city.
Russian forces attempt to advance into the eastern outskirts whilst Ukrainian forces launch their own counterattacks. North East of Bakhmut the fighting rages just south of Pidhorodne around the gas station.

Bakhmut Frontline Situation: PT1
Russian forces are attacking from 7 main directions constantly launching frontal assaults with the support of heavy artillery and aviation.
The main goals of the operations currently is to partially surround Bakhmut from the south and the NE
👇 Bakhmut Frontline Situation PT2:
From the eastern side of Bakhmut Russian forces are attempting to attack in 2 locations.
Firstly from the North east attacking down the road that leads to Bakhmuts'ke
Secondly towards eastern outskirts where fights take place on certain streets.

The destruction of the Russian Armed Forces combat capabilities is happening real time in Ukraine.

Not to mention the massive losses to special forces and paratrooper brigades. The infamous Russian spetsnaz is taking considerable losses in Ukraine due to Russian command using them in some instances as a frontal force instead of sabotage and reconnaissance.

However these units should not be underestimated and still are very deadly.

Thoughts on Kherson 🧵
A military retreat of this size would undoubtably take several days at least possibly even weeks.

If the Russian military follows basic logic they will hold the defensive lines with buffer troops in order to facilitate a withdraw. Professional units have been being pulled out for weeks now being replaced with mobilised soldiers.

However they is still a significant contingent of airborne regiments and spetsnaz groups along with thousands of mobilised soldiers.

Russian source on situation in Kherson
"Troops are withdrawn from the right bank of the Dnieper, several formations remain, the bulk are already on the left" Russian source
"A zone has been created on the left bank 15 km from the Dnieper, from which people are forcibly evacuated"

The Russian army has blown up the bridge between the cities of Balakliya and Bayrak across the S.D River. It indicates a retreat...

My personal opinion on Kherson frontline:
Ukrainian original strategies involved inflicting maximum losses on Russian forces across the river and continuing to hit their supply points further weakening them in preparation for a later offensive.
👇 Ukrainian forces originally made some unexpected breakthroughs in certain areas and are now attempting to consolidate gains and push further while still sticking to a attrition base strategy.
