Commentary by Russian military journalist Boris Rozhin:
[ColonelCassad] 1. Artemovsk
There is no boiler at the moment. The situation of the operational environment is preserved. The enemy is making attempts to push our troops back from the road to the west of Khromovo. Our troops, in turn, repel enemy counterattacks and try to cross the highway.
Khromovo, Bogdanovka and Orekhovo-Vasilyevka - under the Armed Forces of Ukraine. The supply of the group in the city goes along the dirt road and the fields between Khromovo and Krasnoye. The road through Krasnoye is shot through.
In the city itself, PMC "Wagner" continues to methodically clean up the quarters, pushing the Armed Forces of Ukraine to the area with high-rise buildings on the outskirts. The Armed Forces of Ukraine are suffering heavy losses in the city and to the west of it, up to 300-400 people per day + a large number of equipment.
2. Avdievka
The main battles went to the west and north of Krasnogorovka.
The enemy is actively shelling the resulting ledge in order to prevent the RF Armed Forces from accumulating forces here for an attack on Orlovka.
In Avdievka itself, there are no changes.
To the south, the assault on Pervomaisky continued, as well as battles for fortifications near Nevelskoye and north of Vodyanoye in the direction of Thin, covering Orlovka from the south. There is no operational encirclement here, the enemy is quite free to bring reinforcements and ammunition to Avdiivka.
3. Seversk
Fighting continues near Vasyukovka, Razdolovka, Veseloe, Spornovo and Belogorovka.
Spornovo - still for the Armed Forces of Ukraine, although they left a number of positions near the village. The enemy also continues to accumulate forces on the Seversky ledge, having a certain potential for counterattacking actions.
4. Marinka
Positional battles continued in the western part of the city. The enemy notes increased pressure in the city and north of Maryinka, where the RF Armed Forces have brought fresh units into action. The nature of hostilities in the city has not fundamentally changed.
5. Ugledar
The battles near Ugledar and Novomikhailovka are positional in nature.
Periodic local shifts in favor of one of the parties do not fundamentally change the overall course of events. Artillery seriously limits the offensive actions of the parties.
Novomikhailovka and Pobeda are also unchanged.
6. Kupyansk
Fights are positional in nature.
Dvurechnaya and Sinkovka are still under the Armed Forces of Ukraine. After our hasty advance on the east bank of the river, events here again slowed down.
The enemy fortified the front and Kupyansk itself in case of a breakthrough of the RF Armed Forces through Sinkovka.
7. Svatovo
Fighting continued on the outskirts of Makeevka, in the direction of Nevsky and near Kuzemovka.
The enemy periodically makes attempts to advance in the direction of Krasnopopovka.
In the forests near Kremennaya, our troops are conducting assault operations, pushing their way through the grid of strongholds of the Armed Forces of Ukraine.
8. Zaporozhye
There are no serious changes on the front line.
Some aggravation near Marfopol did not lead to serious progress. The main positions remained the same as before.
The Armed Forces of Ukraine continue to shell Pologi, Tokmak, Vasylivka, as well as the area of ​​the Zaporizhzhya nuclear power plant.
The Armed Forces of the Russian Federation continue to strike at Zaporozhye, Orekhov, Kamensky, Gulyaipol.
9. Kherson
The enemy continues to be active in the area of ​​Bolshoy Potemkin and near Alyosheki, sending in DRGs on boats and regularly indicating their presence on the shore. Probing the reaction of the RF Armed Forces to landing operations is underway. The accumulation of various crossing facilities on the Dnieper continues in case the scenario of restrictive actions is implemented with the forcing of the Dnieper simultaneously with a potential strike in the Zaporozhye direction.
The RF Armed Forces continue to process the positions of the Armed Forces in Kherson, Chernobaevka, Berislav and other points on the Right Bank.
More from Rozhin about Russian offensive operations in Artemovsk:
Offensive of PMC "Wagner" in western Artemovsk
The offensive of PMC "Wagner" in western Artemovsk. The area of ​​the park with the Ferris wheel is occupied, the church, from where the sniper worked on the positions of our attack aircraft in the recent video with the March 8 factory.
Fighting along the highway west of Khromovo continued this morning. The Armed Forces of Ukraine are doing their best to prevent the further advance of our forces from landings near the highway. Ours, in turn, strive to gain a foothold in the landings and move further in order to cross the track.
The mudslide makes it difficult for both sides to fight. Khromovo itself is under the enemy, as is Bogdanovka with Orekho-Vasilievka.
The supply of the APU grouping is now going along the dirt road between Krasnoye and Khromovo. This road is also fired upon by our artillery.
