Most of what I want to report has to do with Avdiivka.

Undoubtedly, there are events in other areas, but they are not so “huge” in scope and not so “important” (except for those who participate in them, of course). For example, according to people who counted all the debris on satellite images of Luhansk and Berdyansk after their shelling by MGM-140 aircraft, a few days ago the Russian military and space forces suffered the following losses:

Luhansk:

- Ka-52:6

- Mi-28:7

- Mi-8:4

Berdyansk:

- Ka-52:13

- Mi-24/35:2

- Mi-28:2

- Mi-8:12

The Russians “retaliated” by striking two days ago at the Novaya Poshta terminal in Kharkiv region, as a result of which 15 people died.

BATTLE FOR DONBAS

Bakhmut. South.Once again, the Russian III Army Corps found no way out of the Ukrainian meat grinder east of Klishchivka and Andriivka, other than to counterattack (on Friday), and once again it ended in heavy losses. Indeed, the 4th OMSB and the 1428th SME suffered sufficient losses to - being repulsed - retreat further east: to the western outskirts of Opytny.

Equally important is the fact that all Russian counterattacks (mainly by the forces of the 83rd Air Force) on the 28th Mekhkorpus north of Kurdyumovka have not yet been successful: Ukrainian troops are holding up very well there. In this regard, the Russians transferred to this area another unit of mobiles in the person of the 1307th MRP (yes, not only in the Armed Forces of the Armed Forces the question arises: “where do they have so many reserves?”).

Avdiyivka.Throughout Wednesday and Thursday, the “combined grouping of the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation in the Southwestern Theater of War,” as the Moscow mountain cops now call it, quickly regrouped the remaining parts of the 114th MRB, reinforced it with the 277th Rifle Battalion, and on Friday began a new attack on the northern part of the slag heap (“Height 230") of the Avdievsky Coking Chemical Plant. From there, they try to consolidate the rest of this most important object. And they again support their attacks with armored vehicles. The worst thing is that North Korean Artillery Ammunitionin the meantime, they reached the battlefield and now the Armed Forces feel them seriously.

The Ukrainians are doing everything possible to prevent them from gaining ground: once again dozens of Russian tanks and other armored vehicles have been hit, but the situation is not improving. In fact, this battle can be called a perfect example of why the videos are misleading: no matter how many burning cars are shown, it means little if the side that has suffered all the losses continues to advance. And the Russians continue: in the meantime, they have pulled the 87th Rifle Regiment and the 117th MRP behind the 114th MRB into position to use any possible achievement - or act as operational reserve. Similarly, behind the 9th and 110th MRB advancing in the area of Vodyanoe, the Russians concentrated at least four more regiments (111th MRP, 1004th MRP, 1487th MRP, and 504th TR).

SOUTH OF UKRAINE

Robotino-Verbove-Novoprokopivka. North of Verbovo the Armed Forces managed to push the 247th Airborne Regiment another 400 meters to the east, but: two days ago, the counterattack of the 210th MRP with the support of the 1152nd MRP was able to push back the advanced positions of the Armed Forces by about 200 meters from the height of 166.

At least the Ukrainians managed to inflict additional losses on the 108th Airborne Regiment and advance somewhat to the west of Novoprokopivka, along the T-0803 road.

Dnieper. Additional Ukrainian crossings across the Dnieper north of the Cossack Lagerei are reported.
