[ColonelCassad] 1. Mariupol.
After the evacuation of some civilians, massive artillery shelling and aerial bombardment of Azovstal continued. Sporadic breakthroughs to test for seepage from the plant site are stopped. A full-fledged assault on the plant is not being undertaken.
The encircled were told that they would either surrender or be destroyed on the territory of Azovstal. There will be no corridors for them. Information about the capture of the Canadian general has not yet been verified.
2. Zaporozhye.
There are no big changes on the Kamenskoye-Orekhov-Gulyaipole line. There were only battles south of Orekhovo. There are also battles on the outskirts of Gulyai-Polye. To the east of Gulyaipole, fighting continues for various villages. There is no significant progress. The General Staff of the Armed Forces of Ukraine declares that the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation are just probing the defense of the Armed Forces of Ukraine and are accumulating a strike force, including at the expense of the troops released in Mariupol.
3. Ugledar.
On the line Novomikhailovka-Ugledar-Velikaya Novoselovka without significant changes. The RF Armed Forces entrenched themselves in the settlements south of Velikaya Novoselovka. The Ugledar fortified area continues to cover the Maryinka-Kurakhovo highway.
4. Marinka.
There are no significant advances here. As before, the battles are going on in the area of ​​the waste heap. The battles themselves are of a positional nature, especially since the enemy has the ability to throw reinforcements into Maryinka from the direction of Kurakhovo.
5. Avdievka.
In the Avdievka industrial zone, medium-intensity battles continue without serious advances. To the north, fighting is going on at Novoselka-2 and Novobakhmutovka. The troops of the DPR managed to enter Troitskoye - fighting continues in the area of ​​​​the village. Attempts to advance to New York from the east have not yet brought significant success. At the same time, the enemy continues to shell the settlements of the DPR - Donetsk, Makeevka, Yasinovataya, Yelenovka, etc. 122mm to 152mm cannon artillery, various types of MLRS + OTR "Tochka-U" are used.
6. LPR.
Fighting continues in the industrial area of ​​Rubizhne. Fighting also continues on the outskirts of Severodonetsk. In Popasna, the slow gnaw through of the fortified area of ​​the Armed Forces of Ukraine continues. The pace of progress is low. The enemy has the ability to plant reserves here. Significant losses on both sides in Popasnaya. Both sides understand the operational value of Popasna, so the battle for the city is going on with unrelenting bitterness.
7. Izyum.
Fighting continues north of the Barvenkovo-Slavyansk highway. It has not yet been possible to reach the highway, although it is already possible to carry out its fire defeat. The fighting is going on in the Kurulki-Pashkovo area. Fighting continues near Bolshaya Kamyshevakha. In the direction of Slavyansk, the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation, after the capture of Yampol, partially covered Krasny Liman, fighting is taking place on the outskirts of the city. The enemy is blowing up bridges and preparing a retreat to the next line of defense north of Slavyansk. In this direction, the Armed Forces of Ukraine continue to suffer the heaviest losses. The transfer of Volkssturm units here reflects the problem of the catastrophic loss of personnel in personnel brigades.
8. Kharkov.
After an unsuccessful attempt to advance on Kazachya Lopan and the loss of two villages, the Armed Forces of Ukraine changed tactics and started fighting for Russkaya Lozovaya, where fighting continues to this day, and also carried out an attack in the direction of Stary Saltov, pushing a light curtain of LPR reservists. After the transfer of reinforcements, the front again moved south, but due to the lack of forces in this direction on both sides, tactical shifts in one direction or another are possible here in the future.
The Armed Forces of Ukraine are also trying to establish crossings across the Seversky Donets in order to create a more serious threat to the flank of the Izyum grouping of the Armed Forces of Ukraine south of Volchansk. The main task of all these battles is to divert part of the forces of the RF Armed Forces from the Izyum direction through harassing operations against the open flank.
9. Nikolaev.
Medium-intensity battles continue on the line between Kherson and Nikolaev. The front line has shifted somewhat in the direction of Nikolaev, the enemy admits serious losses, but continues to build up forces for possible counterattacks in this direction.
On the Krivoy Rog direction without changes. Despite the statements of the Gauleiter of Krivoy Rog, the grouping of the RF Armed Forces did not go on the offensive in this direction. There is also no significant progress on the front south of Nikopol in the Novovorontsovka area.
10. Odessa.
Missile strikes on military and transport infrastructure continue. Part of the APU grouping is still kept in the Odessa area, fearing a sea landing, although its probability is not very high now. After the UAV raid on Zmeiny Island, attacks on the Shkolny airfield followed. Provocations also continue on the border with Transnistria. Until the situation with Nikolaev is resolved, direct operations against Odessa are unlikely.
From Andrey Chervonets:
Terrorists who have settled on Azovstal want to exchange hostages for food
The Nazis hiding at Azovstal offered to exchange civilians there for food and medicine
"The indicated terms of the deal are fifteen hostages per ton of food, as well as medicines. They warned that no one else would be allowed to go to Ukraine, now they will only be exchanged," said a representative of the headquarters of the operation to liberate the enterprise. Natsiks change their civilians for food.
Can you imagine that the defenders of the Brest Fortress would offer to cancel the women and children who were also there with them for food and pills?
The representative of the headquarters said that he had already encountered similar methods: in particular, in Syria, in negotiations with ISIS militants.
