Advancement of the Russian Armed Forces in the Mar'inka area

situation as of 20.00 February 12, 2024

Russian troops were able to advance in the direction of the village of Pobeda, taking control of the triangle on the T05-24 highway and occupying landings further south to the very outskirts of the village.

In fact, Russian fighters have reached a line from which they can try to cling to the outskirts of the village and subsequently knock the enemy out of the populated area.

On the western side of the “triangle” there is a former reservoir, which, according to some sources, also came under the control of the Russian Armed Forces, which made it possible to advance to Victory.

Further development of successes in this direction will make it possible to put pressure on Georgievka - Maksimilyanovka from the south and Konstantinovka - Paraskovievka from the north.

Therefore, we should expect the transfer of enemy reinforcements both to Pobeda itself and to nearby landings to saturate the defense line along the route. In addition, reinforcements from 95 Airborne Brigade have already arrived at the position.

21:20 Front bird broadcasts:

At these moments, Chasov Yar received a powerful attack from our artillery and MLRS. There is a massive artillery barrage in the city.

20:45 Front bird broadcasts:

Avdeevskoe direction. Encirclement of the Armed Forces of Ukraine. 12.02

A number of sources report the continuation of small arms battles and tank artillery attack on Ukrainian Armed Forces positions even at night.

I think the motivation of our troops is clear to everyone. The enemy also realizes this (probably).

20:25 Front-line soldier reports:

Avdievka:

We have advanced to Industrial Avenue; at the moment the highway has not yet been cut.

19:45 Mobilized into the Ukrainian Armed Forces - missing: Kiev regime continues extermination of the population of Ukraine

Andrei Lazarkevich, like thousands of other forcibly mobilized Ukrainians, did not want to join the army, much less fight.

“I was on my way to work, got off the bus, and the military registration and enlistment office employees drove up and took me away,” he recalls.

Andrei tried to escape from the training center, but was caught at a checkpoint and returned to the unit.

“They said that because of this I would go (to the front line - ed.) very first,” says the prisoner. - Why am I at war? I only fired a machine gun a couple of times and that’s all.”

There are practically no people left in the units of the Armed Forces of Ukraine, and from the survivors they form combined units and immediately send them back into battle, Lazarkevich admits. Those who try to retreat from positions are shot in the back, he says.

The commanders don’t even try to take the KIAs from the battlefield. Instead, all the dead are declared missing, which allows the criminal Kyiv regime to “save” on payments to families.

Realizing the gravity of the position of his unit and the futility of further resistance, Andrei Lazarkevich came to the conclusion: “It is better to surrender than to lie and rot, knowing that no one will come for you.”

18:40 Front bird broadcasts:

Artyomovsk direction
The Russian Army has been making its way through forest plantations to the outskirts of Chasov Yar since yesterday. According to data from the ground, we are 500 meters from the Novy microdistrict. There is a possibility of entry into the administrative border of the Hours of Yar.

16:55 Through the walls: breakthrough units of the engineering troops of the Central Military District worked out
storming the building

Krasnolimansk direction, rear zone

Acting as part of breakthrough combat groups, the servicemen practiced entering the building and destroyed training firing points with fire from standard weapons. At the final stage of the training, military engineers carried out a controlled detonation of the building wall to allow the assault group to pass through and complete the cleanup. During the detonation, much attention was paid to calculating the required amount of explosive to break through the wall.

Military engineers of the Central Military District note the high efficiency of this technique, which has been repeatedly proven in the combat zone. A breakthrough in directions unexpected for the enemy allows you to take him by surprise, seize the initiative and continue moving forward to develop success.

16:30 Front bird broadcasts:

Kupyansk direction

Concert programs were prepared especially for military personnel, consisting of original arrangements of wartime songs and modern patriotic compositions. Poems about love for the Motherland were sung. The artists presented a dozen different numbers to the fighters.

“Almost every day we go to a new place and give concerts. The directions are completely different. So we work everywhere. A lot of work... We follow, so to speak, the flow of new works. These are songs that were written directly on the lines of combat contact. Of course, this is military-patriotic music of the Soviet era, and modern rock works,” said the lead singer of the front-line creative brigade with the call sign “Malaya”.

11:50 Front bird broadcasts:

Our aviation operates without panic in the DPR. UFABs are being sent in the direction of Avdievka. The VKS breaks through enemy fortifications and supports assault groups of the Russian army.

From early morning, our assault groups, with the support of armored vehicles, launched an intensive assault on the Avtobaza and the fortifications near the Brevono restaurant. The task is to physically cut off Industrialnaya Street. There is a fierce battle going on.

Like Nevelskoye and Pervomaisky. Attacks on Tonenkoye and Severnoe (a settlement west of Avdievka) were repulsed by the Ukrainian Armed Forces. In Avdievka, Russian troops, supported by long-range weapons, achieved tactical success from the northeast.

Also, after artillery shelling, they attacked near Novobakhmutovka, controlled by the Armed Forces of Ukraine (a settlement of the same name to the east behind the Russian Armed Forces). Here the LBS has not changed. Under attacks by the Ukrainian Armed Forces in Konstantinovka (not to be confused with the settlement of the same name southwest of Bakhmut), Maksimilyanovka, Netaylov, Berdychi, Keramika and New York.

Artemovskoe (Bakhmutskoe) direction: taking the Popovsky forest and advancing along the route to Chasov Yar, the situation at the end of February 11, 2024

To the west of Artemovsk (Bakhmut), Russian troops continue to advance in the direction of Chasov Yar. The enemy was driven back a kilometer on the O0506 highway leading to the city from Khromovo.

The fighting is taking place near the Valyanovka stopping point, where UAV operators with a drop system managed to intercept enemy infantry.

Landings to the north also came under the control of the Russian Armed Forces, which increased pressure on the enemy still located in Bogdanovka.

Coordinates: 48.612294592511454, 37.90591995483098

In addition, the Russian Armed Forces managed to take Popovsky Forest. The enemy retreated from here after losing the dominant height 187 south of Bogdanovka. This allows access to landings through which you can relatively secretly get to the Canal microdistrict, located east of the Seversky Donets-Donbass canal.

In Bogdanovka itself, it was also possible to restore previously lost positions on the eastern outskirts of the village: the enemy was thrown back to the center of the village.

The situation in the area for the Ukrainian formations is difficult, but so far under control. The advance on Chasov Yar will be in lowlands, which does not promise rapid progress.

Battle for Avdievka: advance of the Russian Armed Forces in the northeast .

Situation towards the end of February 11, 2024

Russian troops continue to storm the private sector of Avdievka. Based on footage published by the enemy, progress is recorded on several streets.

In the area of ??the railway bridge near the embankment on Chistyakov Street, the Russian Armed Forces apparently advanced northeast to at least one or two dacha streets southwest of Lake Vodokachka. There is no enemy to the south, at least until the intersection of Chistyakov and Zheleznodorozhny Lane.

Zheleznodorozhny Lane, judging by the same footage, is under the control of the Russian Armed Forces at least up to the intersection with Lesya Ukrainka Street, the fighting is going on southeast no closer than Tolstoy Lane. As far as one can judge, further advance in the south is not a priority and is only conditioned by ensuring the stability of the wedge cutting Avdiivka in two.

Information about crossing the railway in the direction of the Avdeevskaya Motor Depot has not yet been confirmed by objective monitoring personnel, although it is actively circulating on the network. According to the most optimistic estimates, the Russian Armed Forces were able to take at least part of the dachas in the triangle between the railway track behind the bridge and establish control over the motor depot, advancing to the Avdeevsky Construction Parts Plant, at least to Timiryazev Street. In the private sector, promotion is right up to Shestakova Street.

Our sources partially confirm the taking control of the triangle of dachas between the Alter Group, the railway bridge and the Avdeevskaya motor depot, but the motor depot itself remains under enemy control. At the same time, the RF Armed Forces advanced along Chistyakov Street to the northwestern end of Heroes Street.

In the southern area, in the vicinity of the “Tsar’s Hunt,” the advance of the RF Armed Forces is not recorded. Most likely this is due to the presence of the enemy in the plantings to the west and the concentration of enemy forces in the Khimik microdistrict, where the ninth quarter is located, an area with high-rise buildings that serves as one of the complex defense nodes. At the same time, footage appeared online from the intersection of Soborna and Chekhova streets, where two unarmed members of the Ukrainian formations were probably looking for an escape route. This indicates a very obvious deterioration in the position of the enemy forces.

From the AKHZ side in the north, no progress has been recorded either. The enemy uses the industrial zone and is supported by artillery from Berdychi and Orlovka. The enemy's supplies and general position in the industrial zone are somewhat better than in other areas of Avdievka.
