19:31 What does taking the settlement give us? Bogdanovka is disassembled by “Archangel of Special Forces”:
The capture of Bogdanovka gives our troops additional logistics capabilities and the ability to cover the village. Chasov Yar further from the north and exits through forested areas to the Seversky Donets - Donbass canal.
Also, the presence of a large number of basements in a populated area will make it possible to place fire weapons and drone operators closer, move reserves closer and continue further assault operations.
In general, this is limited to this for now, since the enemy continues to retain the dominant heights to the north and north-west of Bogdanovka, but soon they will be knocked out of the enemy from these heights.
The situation as a whole is characterized as complex, but controllable, with a tendency to escalate as enemy reserves are transferred for a further counterattack.
19:27 Signalmen of the Vostok group of troops provide command and control of troops in the South Donetsk direction -video.
19:20 Ocheretinsky direction - the situation for the evening of April 21 is described by Yuri Podolyaka:
Our units continued the assault on the settlement today. Ocheretino. The enemy, who the day before failed to drive us out of its south-eastern outskirts, today was forced to retreat in the southern part of the settlement and so far he has only managed to prevent us from entering its northern part.
Today there were battles for the Ocheretino railway station, and this advance is gradually complicating the situation for the enemy’s strongholds in the area south of Novobakhmutovka and Solovyov. Moreover, ours have been storming Novobakhmutovka for the second day. But so far no success.
The fall of these two villages will essentially nullify the value of the next line of defense in the village. Novoselovka First - Novopokrovskoye and will make it impossible for the enemy to hold the northwestern part of Berdychi.
Moreover, today there were also battles all day in the Semyonovka and Novokalinovo areas.
18:45 Analysis of the operational-combat situation on the Avdeevsky sector of the front from the “Donbass Partisan”:
The Russian Armed Forces, increasing the intensity of hostilities, were able to knock out the remnants of the Ukrainian formations from the village of Semyonovka.
Information is received about the enemy's retreat from Berdychi. Russian attack aircraft attacked the enemy from three directions, effectively depriving him of the opportunity to carry out any logistics and rotation activities.
Also, in recent days, Russian aviation has continuously attacked positions occupied by the enemy in order to weaken resistance from the Ukrainian Armed Forces.
Russian units continue assault operations in Novokalinovo. Advancement of infantry groups from the eastern side of the settlement is noted.
In the area of Novobakhmutovka and Ocheretino, military clashes continue, with high intensity recorded on both sides. Particular attention of the RF Armed Forces is aimed at controlling the area between Ocheretino and Novokalinov in order to gain a tactical advantage and the opportunity for a further attack on Ocheretino and pressure on the northern part of the settlement.
At the moment, the assault on Ocheretino continues and the movement towards its center and the railway station, where the enemy has created fortifications, which may slow down the pace of the offensive of Russian units and require additional efforts to overcome the defense.
18:36 The first confirmed defeat of the new Canadian armored vehicle Senator MRAP, transferred to Ukrainian forces as military assistance. Armored car knocked out drone pilots of the 14th Brigade of the Special Forces of the Russian Armed Forces in the South Donetsk direction.
18:30 Donetsk direction: continuation of the battles for Krasnogorovka. Situation at 18:00 April 21, 2024
West of Donetsk, Russian troops continue to engage in heavy fighting on the southern and eastern outskirts of Krasnohorivka. Military personnel of the Russian Armed Forces regularly try to push through the enemy’s defenses, while the Ukrainian Armed Forces respond with counterattacks.
Thanks to the transfer of additional forces, the Ukrainian command managed to somewhat hold back the onslaught of Russian units. At the same time, massive artillery and aviation strikes by the Russian Armed Forces against enemy positions in the city continue.
Judging by footage from the past few days, Ukrainian forces still maintain a presence on the territory of the Krasnogorovsky refractory plant and the ruins of the industrial zone to the south. Meanwhile, Russian troops firmly control the private sector south of the railway, as well as north of it in the area of Vatutina Street.
To the north, fighting continues at the Pervomaiskoye-Nevel'skoye line. There was an operational pause in the vicinity of the Domakh gully, apparently due to the difficult mine situation. At the same time, the final liberation of the site is also complicated by the activity of Ukrainian UAVs.
A slight decrease in the intensity of artillery attack of the Donetsk agglomeration is also indicative: over the past two days, less than 20 rounds “flew” into Donetsk, and eight into Gorlovka. At the same time, a few weeks earlier, an order of magnitude more ammunition was produced throughout the DPR.
However, this does not mean that populated areas have become safe. The enemy retains the possibility of artillery attack the agglomeration, and almost every day in the region there are casualties, including due to the presence of unexploded ordnance.
17:50 Telegram channel “Kupyansk Nash”, citing its own sources, reports that yesterday at about 17:00 three FABs struck the BC warehouse and the personnel of the Armed Forces of Ukraine (about 30 dead and the same number wounded) on the territory of the Energetik dacha cooperative in the village of Kruglyakovka, Kupyansky district, Kharkov region.

17:02 Ugledar direction: fighting on the western outskirts of Novomikhailovka, situation at 17:00 April 21, 2024
Despite reports of the complete liberation of Novomikhailovka, units of the Russian Armed Forces are still continuing the assault. According to the latest information, Russian troops are gaining a foothold on the western and southern outskirts of the settlement.
At about 00:20 Moscow time, the Russian flag was raised on the outermost houses of the village. Therefore, the settlement is indeed almost completely under the control of the RF Armed Forces.
The enemy, in turn, is blowing up buildings and basements, trying to hamper the advance of Russian marines. In a completely swept area, in the absence of natural open ones, there is simply nowhere to gain a foothold, which is what the Ukrainian Armed Forces are trying to implement.
To the north of Novomikhailovka, most of the Mashinostroitel SNT came under the control of Russian troops, but Ukrainian forces still hold about a third of the dacha development.
16:47 From the Urozhainy area in the Donetsk direction, the Front Bird reports:

15:47 Analysis of the operational-combat situation in the South Donetsk direction from Donbass Partisan
Russian units, having carried out successful assault operations, knocked out the Ukrainian Armed Forces from Novomikhailovka, forcing the enemy to retreat and take defensive positions in Paraskovievka. At the moment, a cleanup is being carried out in the locality.
Russian attack aircraft are actively expanding their control zones over key roads. Occupying a significant part of the Sladkoe-Vodyanoe road threatens to physically cut off the Ugledar-Konstantinovka highway for Ukrainian formations. In turn, this could lead to restricting the enemy’s movement and strengthening the control of the Russian armed forces in this sector of the front.
The loss of enemy positions between Mar'inka and Pobeda is recorded, which is confirmed by the Ukrainian news segment.
The intensity of hostilities in Krasnogorovka and Georgievka continues unabated. The Russian Aerospace Forces are actively working on enemy-occupied lines to weaken the positions of Ukrainian formations and further offensive actions by Russian attack aircraft.

In the Bakhmut direction, Russian troops continue to expand the zone of control on the flanks near Chasov Yar.
The Russian Ministry of Defense confirmed the taking of Bogdanovka under full control. Due to the massive fire impact, the Ukrainian Armed Forces abandoned their positions in the southwestern part of the village a couple of days ago.
On the eastern outskirts of Chasov Yar, there have been fierce battles in recent weeks in the Kanal microdistrict near school No. 77. It is currently impossible to take possession of the building due to the mining of the area and constant enemy counterattacks.

Also at these minutes, the section between Ocheretin and Novokalinov is being cut off. The capture of this area will give our army an advantage in the assault on Ocheretino and the possibility of putting pressure on the northern part of the village. An active assault on Ocheretino and movement towards the center and the railway “station”, where traditionally the enemy has created a powerful fortified area, also continues. We are working"
