[NewsFrontInfo] 23:58 Official summary of the DPR Representative Office in the JCCC from 00:00 03/12/2023 to 00:00 03/13/2023

Over the past day Representation reported about 15 facts of firing by the VFU. In the Donetsk direction, the enemy made 12 attacks from the Himars MLRS and 300mm BM-30 Smerch, AGM-88 HARM, 155mm and 152mm artillery.

On Yasinovatsky three artillery attacks from MLRS, artillery 155mm. By releasing 64 units of various ammunition.

The areas of three settlements of the Republic were under enemy fire: Yasinovataya, the capital city of Donetsk (Budennovsky, Kalininsky, Leninsky, Kievsky, Kuibyshevsky, Petrovsky districts), Makeevka (Chervonogvardeysky district).

Over the past day, information was received about the wounding of a civilian - a woman, in the Kalininsky district of Donetsk. A total of 15 housing constructions were damaged in Kievsky, Kuibyshevsky, Kalininsky, Leninsky and Petrovsky districts of Donetsk, as well as four civil infrastructure facilities. In previous 24 hours, 16 artillery attacks were recorded from the side of the VFU.

22:05 On the operational lines of the DPR JCCC for March 12, receivedadditionalinformation on damages as a result of artillery aattack of VFU cities of the Republic: Donetsk (Kuibyshevsky district): - st. Stepanenko, 24 - apartment building. Information about the consequences of artillery attack continues to arrive.

22:02 Vushnik for some reason complains that the command is threatening the fighters for the wrong word -video.

21:29 Ukrainian TG-channel "Resident" is divided disappointing insider for the Armed Forces of Ukraine:

“Our source in the OP said that there may not be a counteroffensive near Bakhmut, heavy rains are promised at the end of next week. And Zaluzhny opposes, in principle, the implementation of Syrsky's plan. The Commander-in-Chief believes that the Armed Forces of Ukraine may lose all reserves if they launch an attack on March 14-15, we will not have enough time to encircle the Russian army and our equipment will get bogged down in the mud.”

21:10 Heavy machine gun "Cliff" confirms its harsh temper on the Zaporizhzhya Front -video.

The stronghold of the Armed Forces of Ukraine, located in a private house, came to the attention of the fighters of the "Crimea" battalion. Several times, enemy vehicles drove up to the building and, probably, brought up the BC.

In order to deprive the Ukrainian militants of their vehicles and inflict damage on manpower, our guys used a 12.7mm NSV machine gun.

This weapon, developed in the late 1960s in Tula, proved to be excellent in combat and even received a nickname. "Cliff Ivanovich" is able to hit lightly armored military equipment at long distances. In our case, the distance to the enemy is 1 km.

20:28 The evacuation of the wounded of the Armed Forces of Ukraine from Artyomovsk failed due to an error in tactics: details -video.

Since March 1, units of the 93rd mechanized brigade, the 241st Territorial Defense Brigade, as well as the 1st mechanized battalion of the 67th Mechanized Brigade cannot safely evacuate from Artyomovsk (Bakhmut). According to the Military Chronicle, after the blowing up of the railway bridge across the Bakhmutka River, the Armed Forces of Ukraine were forced to evacuate troops along a makeshift embankment.

An impromptu crossing of bricks and construction debris from the left to the right bank of Artyomovsk (Bakhmut) appeared after the retreating units of the Ukrainian forces blew up the railway bridge near the mining equipment plant and the autodrome in the north of the city. The embankment, used instead of a full-fledged pontoon crossing, is gradually washed away by water from the river and collapses under artillery strikes, which makes its use unsafe. This complicates the supply of the APU grouping, since loaded cars cannot overcome the crossing.

Because of this, ammunition and equipment have to be broken up into many small batches and gradually transported through Bakhmutka. At the same time, it is impossible to conduct a long column at a time: the more people and equipment accumulate at the crossing, the higher the risk of falling under artillery fire.

It is also impossible to take out the wounded from Artemovsk on heavy tracked vehicles through this area: most of the medical armored personnel carriers were lost in the area from Khromov to Popovsky Forest when trying to take out heavy weapons and the most combat-ready units of the Armed Forces of Ukraine.

The evacuation of the wounded with fire support from the wheeled BTR-3 and BTR-4 is also difficult: the descent to the crossing at high speed is impossible due to steep cliffs and the need to slow down. When stopping and parking, the equipment is detected by drone operators, after which artillery and mortars begin to work along the crossing.

19:45 Consequences of the artillery attack of the city of Perevalsk (LPR) by armed formations of Ukraine

As of 17.30, as a result of the artillery aattack of the settlement. Perevalsk using HIMARS MLRS (the enemy fired one M30A1 GMLRS missile), three civilians were killed, including a 17-year-old teenager, and seven people were injured, including two children.

Soldiers of the Airborne Forces tell about positional battles:

“Today I flew to a neighboring village with a gift, the distance is almost 5 km. I found an interesting target - UAZ APU (earlier lost by ours when leaving Kherson), on the left everything was trampled under their feet. On the descent, immediately after pressing the reset, they blocked me with a gun, but because of the dropped grenade, they immediately let me go, hid, apparently.

I flew on the "sport", they again wanted to shoot me, but the signal was restored, it was already at the limit of the gun. In short, lucky. Therefore, the video of the explosion from the second drone hanging 3.5 km from the point.

18:04 The Russian Aerospace Forces destroyed the Ukrainian opornik and ammunition depot in the Zaporozhye region -video.

17:15 Battle for Bakhmut situation as of 17.00 March 12, 2023

- In the north-west of Bakhmut, the assault detachments of the Wagner PMC, after the first unsuccessful attempt to attack the positions of the Armed Forces of Ukraine near Orekhovo-Vasilevka, broke through the defenses of Ukrainian formations through the fields south of the village.

As the sources of the Military Chronicle @milchronicles suggest, the settlement itself consists of four well-fortified strongholds. At the moment, confident control has been established over two, the cleanup is underway on the third and fourth. Near the village cemetery, 30 people from the 30 OMBR and 116 Troop Brigade of the Armed Forces of Ukraine were killed.

- APU unsuccessfully trying to recapture the lost territories. Ukrainian formations suffer losses due to difficulties with the evacuation of the wounded, the lack of reconnaissance and logistics support, and insufficiently intensive fire support - mortar and artillery crews have a limit on the consumption of ammo.

At the same time, several attacks have already been carried out by forces of the 1st detachment of special forces of the 71st Jaeger brigade, with the support of a tank platoon of the 4th detachment of the Armed Forces of Ukraine. As a result of the fighting, the "Wagnerites" destroyed two tanks, and only one 71st Brigade of the Armed Forces of Ukraine lost about 120 people killed and wounded in two days.

Now the Ukrainian formations have retreated to the Golubovka area, the seriously wounded are being transported to Slavyansk and Liman. From Minkovka, Golubovka and Privolye, the Armed Forces of Ukraine are artillery aattack the Wagner offensive areas with artillery and mortars.

- In the south-west of Bakhmut, PMC assault detachments approached close to the highway to Konstantinovka. The attack on the positions of the Armed Forces of Ukraine is taking place on the sections of the Konstantinovka-Krasnoe and Krasnoe-Bakhmut roads. To support the Armed Forces of Ukraine, a mortar battery was transferred to Konstantinovka from Slavyansk.

Also, Russian units advanced slightly in the Budenovsky district in the south of Bakhmut, improving their tactical position and leveling the front line.

Advancement to the northwest along the Slavyanskaya highway allows expanding the buffer zone near Bakhmut and securing the flanks from counterattacks by the Armed Forces of Ukraine. The Slavyansko-Kramatorsk agglomeration has accumulated large reserves, which, under certain circumstances, can be thrown into battle to tie down Russian fighters.

- In addition, movement in this direction creates the prospect of a further offensive in two directions: to encircle the Seversk agglomeration, which, together with the activation of the 144th Motorized Rifle Division in Serebryansky forestry, is very logical, and also to bypass the large fortified area in Chasov Yar.

The city is located on the dominant heights relative to the areas from which the "Wagnerites" are now advancing. A frontal attack is extremely dangerous due to the terrain, and an attack on Chasov Yar will be like attacking Ugledar from the lowlands.

The simultaneous advance to the north with successes in the south of Bakhmut and south-west of the city fetters the formations of the Armed Forces of Ukraine in one area, which, given the shortage of ammunition among Ukrainian artillerymen, allows us to build on success.


17:01 Ukrainians (although the speaker is clearly a mercenary, the greeting is in Arabic. “Peace be upon you and the mercy of God and His blessing.”) wanted to go to Bakhmut, but their convoy was bombed by VKS with cast iron -video.

16:27 Another 64 demi-season slides delivered by volunteers All for Victory to recipients -video.

Thanks to you, PEOPLE, we equipped (suits and tactical boots) the company of Heroes of the 1st Slavic - 74 fighters, instead of the planned 15 (assault group)! Home Front Angels, we are on the experience of caring for the lives and health of our Men!

Now I received so many words of gratitude in the LS for our Care. I pass them on to you! From the bottom of our hearts, we thank our subscribers and subscribers of the telegram channel Two Majors for their responsiveness and personal participation in achieving our Victory!

16:22 The Ministry of Defense of the Russian Federation showed how Russian calculations of the MLRS inflict artillery strikes on the disguised positions of the Armed Forces of Ukraine -video.

16:19 Curious artifacts from the headquarters and location of the BARS-23 volunteer unit.

1. Creativity of local Kukryniksy. 2. A rather rare landing version of the "Boot" (SPG-9). 3. Eight-bit prefix in working condition. By God, the last time I saw this was 30 years ago. 4. Permanent sentry and bait for snipers. 5. Intelligible instruction in a room of solitary reflections. Kombat is watching you!

15:35 According to preliminary information, as a result of the artillery aattack of the Alchevsk AS-1 bus station in the city of Perevalsk perished three civilians, and nine people were injured of varying severity.

Additional information is being specified. Representation of the LPR in the JCCC.

14:40 Training of the arrived replenishment in firing small arms in conditions close to combat -video.

All conditions and safety requirements are met.

14:35 Avdeevskiy section situation according to condition at 14.00 March 12, 2023.

- To the north of Avdiivka, Russian units attacked the fortified area of ??the Armed Forces of Ukraine in Krasnohorivka. As a result of intense fighting, the RF Armed Forces entered the village and entrenched themselves on the eastern outskirts. Now clashes continue in the central and western regions.

Despite the existing information about the complete control over Krasnohorivka, the settlement has not yet been liberated, a cleansing is underway. At the same time, the Ukrainian command transferred units of the 1st Presidential Brigade of the National Guard of Ukraine to the area of the village to assist the defending forces.

- In addition, the fighters of the RF Armed Forces, after establishing control over Vesely, moved south along the dam and came close to the village of Kamenka, south of Novoselovka II.

Tactical success in this area and potential control over Krasnohorivka and Kamenka would allow the Avdeevsky fortified area to be physically encircled and advance further towards the railway near Petrovsky.

A group of the Armed Forces of Ukraine in the suburbs of Donetsk passes through the railway line. Cutting this logistic hub will significantly reduce the capabilities of Ukrainian formations in Avdievka and create the prospect of squeezing the Armed Forces of Ukraine out of the settlement.

10:45 Battle for Artemovsk - the main thing for the past day (for the morning of 12.03)

- According to so far unverified information, at night PMC "Wagner" entered the settlement. Orekhovo-Vasilevka and went to the outskirts of the settlement located a little northeast. Zaliznyanskoye.

Thus, there is a clear vector of movement around Seversk and, and this is the most important thing, to break through the second and main line of defense of the Armed Forces of Ukraine (which was built since the summer) along the watershed between the Slavyansk-Kramatorsk and Bakhmut-Soledar agglomerations.

- In fact, Orekhovo-Vasilevka is already a fortified area of ??this very line, and taking it under control is a very serious application. Well, as I said a little higher, a new threat to Seversk.

Also yesterday, information came that parts of the "Wagners" physically entered the track from Artemovsk, through Khromovo to Chasov Yar. In Artemovsk itself, a new liberation strategy is also already evident.

Apparently, having realistically assessed the threat from the reserves of the Armed Forces of Ukraine transferred here, which are just waiting to hit the flank and rear of the strike groups closing ticks from the north and south, the command of the Wagner PMC abandoned this plan.

- Wagner operators continued their offensive in the center, and after their assault detachments entered the AZOM plant from the north, another part of the attackers (the one that crossed the Bakhmutovka River yesterday) are trying to enter the southern parts of this enterprise and thus take the defenders into pincers. So far, the offensive here is developing successfully.

- Well, also yesterday there were attacks of Wagner operators from the south on a wide front from Chasovoy Yar to the southern outskirts of the city. There is a partial advance between Ivanovsky and the former Airplane stele. And all this not only brought new threats to the enemy, but also seriously complicated an already bleak logistics situation for him.
