Situation in Ukraine
It has been 805 days since Russia invaded Kyiv.
First of all,
general matters.
According to the General Staff of the Ukrainian Armed Forces,
the Russian losses were 970 soldiers
13 tanks
19 armored fighting vehicles
30 artillery pieces
11 drones
2 cruise missiles
42 other vehicles.
The entire front reported 97 ground battles in one day.
Russian losses continue at a high level,
although they have passed their peak,
and soldier losses continue to be around 1,000.
And the ratio of the number of equipment losses on the Ukrainian side,
which can be visually confirmed,
to the number of losses on the Russian side is 1 to 3.5.
Losses on the Russian side are mostly infantry fighting vehicles and tanks,
while civilian vans are prominent on the Ukrainian side.
Here is a brief news report on the situation in Ukraine.
You can also use YouTube's chapter feature to watch where necessary.
1st.
The social network of the 43rd Independent Artillery Brigade of the Ukrainian Armed Forces,
which is defending in the direction of Avdiivka,
reports today that "there is good news on the front line" that western shells are beginning to arrive.
This unit is deployed in the northwestern rear of Ocheretine,
a fierce battleground,
and is supposed to be the unit operating the German-supplied Panzerhaubitze PzH 2000 self-propelled artillery.
According to SNS,
they have been shelling the area since the morning.
2nd.
The Security Service of Ukraine (SBU) arrested two colonels of the State Security Service for attempted assassination of President Zelensky.
The plan was to inform Russia of their location and launch a missile strike from Russia followed by a drone strike,
according to the SBU.
3rd.
On the occasion of Vladimir Putin's inauguration,
an independent investigative agency reported on the renovation of Putin's Palace.
The renovation was in the lounge area with the stripper pole on the first floor of the building known as Putin's Palace on the Krasnodar seafront,
and this room was converted into a church.
The walls of the room are decorated with crosses and a chair where high-ranking religious figures sit,
known as a throne.
The price of the Putin Palace is $1.35 billion,
which the Russian Corruption Foundation says was paid for by corruption with energy companies,
but Peskov's spokesman said that is "complete nonsense.
The living room is furnished with various collectibles and luxury furniture,
and the unusual feature is a marble-enclosed room with a special massage shower that sprays warm water from below.
Fourth.
Russia,
a permanent member of the UN Security Council,
used North Korean ballistic missiles against Ukraine in violation of sanctions resolutions,
but Ukrainian prosecutors analyzed the North Korean ballistic missiles launched so far and found that most were Mars 11 (KN23) and half failed to reach their targets.
The Mars 11 is a solid-fuel ballistic missile similar to the Iskander M.
It is said to have a range of 450 km and an accuracy of 35 meters when equipped with a 500 kg warhead.
The official said,
"Half of North Korea's missiles have deviated from their trajectory and exploded in mid-air."
Now,
here is the status of the war in each region.
We will focus on the areas where the war situation has changed.
You can follow the changes with the date on the large full-screen display.
Northeast: Luhansk region
Eastern Bakhmut
This section reports on the war situation on the Svatove-Kreminna line,
from the area around Siversk to the area of Bakhmut.
The Russians attacked 14 times in Kupyansk,
6 times along the Svatove-Kreminna line,
and 36 times around Sibersk and in Bakhmut.
Kupyansk Area
In this sector,
the Russians launched opportunistic attacks on the weak defenses of the Ukrainian army.
1st.
In Kislivka,
which we have been reporting on daily,
the Ukrainian army has withdrawn and the Russian army has taken over the entire settlement.
Russian forces bombed the building indicated on the map with 500 kg glide bombs,
then entered the building after the Ukrainian troops retreated and raised flags claiming occupation in several places.
Meanwhile,
the Ukrainian military has been conducting drone strikes on buildings occupied by Russian troops.
The area was claimed as occupied by Russian troops from disputed territory,
and Kislyivka changed to a red marker indicating occupation.
The area is about 1.5 square kilometers.
2nd.
From the eastern outskirts of Berestove to the south of Novoselivske,
Russian troops attacked Ukrainian positions from three different directions at a short distance,
resulting in a battle of positions,
but the Russians were ultimately repulsed.
The Ukrainian army destroyed a Russian T80 tank,
four BMP infantry fighting vehicles,
and two BTR armored fighting vehicles,
but Russian infantry deployed on the outskirts of Berestove and took positions as far as 2 km from the settlement.
This neighborhood has seen one battle move in early February of this year,
but not since then.
The unit we are showing you is from the 77th Air Assault Brigade of the Ukrainian Armed Forces,
which operates vehicles on the western flank and is responsible for the defense of Stelmachka from Berestove.
The Russians believed that a simultaneous attack from two separate locations would split the brigade's strength.
If you would like to see the whole thing in graphic detail,
I have posted a 1.5 minute video on the Telegram,
so if you are very interested,
please watch it as well.
We have updated the battle map of that area as occupied by Russian forces from Ukrainian-controlled and disputed territory.
The area will be about 2 square kilometers.
Around Sibersk
In Bilohorivka,
the Russians pushed in for a time,
but on this day the Ukrainians attacked and the Russians are retreating.
1st.
First,
north of Bilohorivka,
according to the video with positions,
Ukrainian troops won a positional battle in the forest along the Donets River and expanded their control east of the forest.
The Russians were found to have projected hot-air bombs in their counterattack.
The battle map has been updated to show that the Ukrainian forces have retaken that range from the disputed area.
2nd.
The Russians,
on the other hand,
attacked west from the water treatment plant east of the Bilohorivka mine,
an attack that was repulsed by Ukrainian forces,
who in turn pushed Russian forces back from the mine.
The image we are showing you was posted on the Instagram of a Ukrainian soldier,
who wrote: "We must not be indifferent to the fight for our homeland.
The battle map has been updated with a 500-meter retreat of the Russian occupation,
which was up to the first level of the mine,
to the water treatment plant.
Other than that,
there were reports of ground fighting in this sector south of Spilne and Vimka,
but no changes were made to the battle map.
ChasivYar area
Heavy fighting is taking place in this sector.
Sazonov,
a political scientist who volunteered for the army and was assigned to the 41st Mechanized Brigade of the Ukrainian Army,
appeared in Ukrainian media and said,
"ChasivYar is a highland with excellent defensive positions,
but the problem is that there are no people," adding,
"Of the ten men coming from the training center,
two refuse to fight and two Of the 10 people coming from the training center,
two refuse to fight,
two are insane and useless,
two are sick,
and only two or three are capable of fighting.
1st.
In Bohdanivka,
both sides are using drone strikes and artillery fire on the other's positions to check each other's movements.
2nd.
Around the Canal,
the Russians have been attacking with small infantry groups for 24 hours,
while Ukrainian artillery and drones have been repelling Russian soldiers coming into the kill zone,
leaving the battle map unchanged.
Other than that,
Russian troops are also attacking in Ivanivske and Klishchiivka,
but these attacks were repulsed by Ukrainian troops and there was no information about any change in the battle map.
Southeast Donetsk Oblast.
Weather in Avdiivka was sunny.
The minimum temperature is 9 degrees Celsius and the maximum is 25 degrees Celsius.
The weather forecast for today also calls for sunshine.
The weather is sunny,
but there is a strong wind.
The following is an update on the situation in the areas of Avdiivka,
Marinka and Vuhledar.
Avdiivka
In this sector the Russians made more than 30 attacks,
mainly on Novo Oleksandrivka,
Novopokrovske,
Umanske,
Yasnobrodivka,
and Netailove.
1st.
In the vicinity of Ocheretiye,
the Russians launched attacks in the direction of Novo Oleksandrivka,
a Ukrainian military position north of Arkanehselke and north of Ocheretiye,
as they did yesterday,
but the Ukrainian army defended itself and the Russians had no success.
2nd.
Meanwhile,
along the railroad tracks west of Ocheretiyne,
positioned video footage shows Russian assault troops penetrating west across the Ukrainian defense line,
with Ukrainian troops responding with drones and repulsing them.
The image shown is from the 110th Mechanized Brigade of the Ukrainian Army,
which is observing the Russian soldiers at the location indicated on the map.
3rd.
On the Novopokrovske axis of attack,
the Russians are shelling south of the town,
with the possibility of advancing around the settlement to the outskirts.
4th.
In Umanske and Netaylove,
Ukrainian forces are blocking the Russian advance with artillery and drone strikes.
Netaylove in particular has become a prime target for Ukrainian forces,
as the only way for the Russians to move forward is along the E50 road.
In the end,
there was no change in the battle map so far.
Marinka
Vuhledar
The Russians made 15 attacks in this sector,
but there were no reports of Russian advance.
In Urozyan,
we reported on May 5 that the Russians had advanced,
but according to the video with location data,
the Ukrainians counterattacked on that day,
pushing the Russians back into the area and recapturing it to April 25.
The video shows the 58th Mechanized Brigade of the Ukrainian Armed Forces,
which destroyed Russian vehicles with anti-tank missiles at the location shown on the map,
repelled Russian soldiers hiding in a building with artillery fire and drones,
and deployed Ukrainian infantry to storm the building and recapture it.
The battle map has been updated to show that Ukrainian forces have retaken the building.
BBBB
Rear Area
1st.
An oil depot in Luhansk,
110 km from the front line,
caught fire during an ATACMS attack.
In the video you can see something burning.
2nd.
In Evpatoria,
Crimea,
satellite images of the May 4 NASA fire and information from local residents indicate that the Iskander M launch pad was destroyed.
BBBB
South,
Zaporizhia Province
South,
province of Kherson.
In this area,
the Russians conducted three attacks in Stalomaiorsk,
Verbove and Robotyne,
and three attacks in Krinky.
1st.
of these,
in Robotyne,
where we increased the area of engagement in yesterday's video,
we expanded the area recaptured by the Ukrainian military and slightly reduced the area of engagement,
since the location-based video showed that a Ukrainian drone was disturbing the building indicated on the map and that this location was the front line.
The first was the first.
2nd.
According to Ukrainian spokesman Pletenchuk and Russian military bloggers,
the "Dnipro River Boat Unit," a boat brigade that Defense Minister Shoigu announced the establishment of in March,
lacked equipment from the start,
so Russian soldiers have been stealing boats that have fallen into the river and locals' fishing boats to use in their operations.
Therefore,
Spokesman Pletenchuk announced that "this unit is not a threat."
That's all for today.
