[Korrespondent] The Ukrainian Armed Forces are fighting stubbornly in the Donbass.
The part of the settlement into which the enemy broke through is under the fire control of the Ukrainian Armed Forces, according to OSGV Khortytsia.
The Ukrainian military maintains two-thirds of the villages of Ocheretino and Solovyevo in the Donetsk region. Speaker of the OSGV Khortitsa Nazar Voloshin said this during a telethon on Saturday, April 27.
According to him, in order to be able to break through the defenses of the Armed Forces of Ukraine in the direction of Novobakhmutovka - Ocheretino, the Russians deployed additional reserves there - the 55th motorized rifle brigade of the Russian Armed Forces.
“Now two-thirds of the village of Ocheretino is under our control. The part of the village into which the enemy broke through is under our fire control. The enemy is blocked, and measures are being taken to drive him out of there. Heavy fighting continues there, but the situation is under control,” Voloshin assured.
He claims that in Solovyov the situation is approximately the same - approximately two-thirds of the village is under the control of the Ukrainian Armed Forces, and part of the village, into which the enemy also broke through, is under fire control. Heavy fighting continues there as well.
Let us remind you that two days ago the Russians broke into the village of Ocheretino north-west of Avdeevka. This is fraught with the collapse of the entire defense line in the Pokrovsky direction, the creation of which the Ukrainian command was forced to begin after leaving Avdiivka.
More from korrespondent.net Russians gained a foothold in part of Ocheretinoye The fighting for Ocheretino continues.
The DeepState analytical project reported that the occupiers had captured the village of Berdichi south of Ocheretinoye.
The Russians have gained a foothold in part of the village of Ocheretino in the Donetsk region, said Nazar Voloshin, spokesman for the Khortitsa group of troops, during a telethon.
“The enemy managed to break through and gain a foothold in a certain part of this settlement (Ocheretino). Now the part where the enemy is located is under our fire control. All measures are being taken to drive the enemy out of there, heavy fighting continues. The situation is controlled by units of the Defense Forces,” – Voloshin said.
According to him, in the Ocheretinoye area the Russians deployed 4 brigades of their armed forces.
“On our part, we are taking all measures to stabilize the situation in the Avdeevsky direction and return control over Ocheretin. For this purpose, additional forces and resources have been introduced from the reserve,” the speaker said.
At the same time, the analytical project DeepState reported on the capture by the invaders of the village of Berdichev to the south of Ocheretinoye: “The Katsaps captured Berdichie, hanging their rag on the western outskirts of the village. The fighting west of Berdichev continues. The defense forces are conducting rearguard battles. It is impossible to maintain the line of contact in its current form, therefore, leaving the northern outskirts of the village is a necessary measure. But the most important thing is the preservation of personnel.
Let us recall that two days ago the Russians broke into the village of Ocheretino, north-west of Avdeevka. This is fraught with the collapse of the entire defense line in the Pokrovsky direction, the creation of which the Ukrainian command was forced to begin after leaving Avdiivka.

Currently, two-thirds of Ocheretyne settlements are under our control. The part of the settlement, into which the enemy broke through, is under our fire control. The enemy is blocked, and measures are being taken to knock him out of there. Heavy fighting continues there, but the situation is under control," the spokesman said.

Avdeevsky direction: liberation of Berdychi and Novokalinovo
Russian troops consolidate the success achieved after the liberation of Ocheretino, Semenovka and the advance to Novokalinovo.
On the western outskirts of Berdychi, servicemen of the 74th Separate Guards Motorized Rifle Brigade of the Russian Armed Forces erected the battle banner of the “Mad Dogs” unit on a destroyed building. Cleanup is underway in the liberated territory.
After the loss of Semenovka, as well as a breakthrough to the Ocheretinsky fortified area, the Ukrainian Armed Forces were forced to retreat from this settlement due to the high risk of encirclement. According to reports from the field, a large number of members of the Ukrainian formations chose to surrender.
According to the latest information, Novokalinovo, east of Ocheretino, also came under the control of Russian troops. At the moment, pockets of resistance from scattered enemy groups are being cleared out.
In adjacent Keramika, assault detachments of the Russian Armed Forces established a foothold on the eastern outskirts of the village, which is confirmed even by Ukrainian resources. There are oncoming battles in the populated area. After the complete clearing of Novokalinovo, the retreat of the Ukrainian Armed Forces from Keramik will become a matter of time due to the geographical location of the village in the lowland.
The successful actions of Russian troops over the past 24 hours will likely make it possible to soon level the front line at the Ocheretino-Umanskoye line and continue the offensive westward to a new line. In total, in April of this year, Russian troops managed to liberate more than 60 square meters. km of territory on this section of the front.

Kupyansk direction: breakthrough of the Ukrainian Armed Forces’ defense in Kislovka.
A couple of days ago, after a rather long stagnation, Russian troops launched a new assault on the Svatovsko-Kupyansk direction, attacking the positions of the 104th Troops Brigade of the Armed Forces of Ukraine in Kislovka.
On the eastern outskirts of the village, the Russian Armed Forces took control of about three dozen houses and a railway station. Information is being received about the complete liberation of the village, which has not yet been confirmed by objective control personnel.
At the same time, Ukrainian resources monitoring the situation at the front confirm a breakthrough in the village, speaking about the plight of the Ukrainian Armed Forces in the area due to the lack of heavy weapons.
With a high probability, the Ukrainian formations retreated to neighboring Kotlyarovka, the distance to the outskirts of which is no more than three hundred meters. However, with success in Kislovka, the position of the Ukrainian Armed Forces in Kotlyarovka will noticeably worsen.
Considering the location of Kislovka on a hill relative to the surrounding settlements, we can talk about potential fire control of the adjacent territory by Russian troops after the complete liberation of the village.
Success at the Kislovka-Kotlyarovka line will allow Russian troops to significantly advance along the N-26 highway leading to Kupyansk, a large fortified area and an important transport hub in the Kharkov region.

Missile attack on energy infrastructure facilities so-called. Ukraine April 27, 2024.
what is known by 11.00 April 27, 2024
Tonight, the Russian Armed Forces attacked electricity generation facilities in the Lvov, Dnepropetrovsk and Ivano-Frankivsk regions. According to DTEK, four thermal power plants were damaged.
We are talking, apparently, about Dobrotvorskaya, Krivoy Rog, Pridneprovskaya and Burshtynskaya TPPs, which are part of the DTEK structure. A photo of a fire that appeared on the Internet, presumably at the Burshtynska Thermal Power Plant, indicates that the blow fell on the operating power units.
We have repeatedly talked about the importance of hitting those thermal power plants that have special equipment that allows them to maneuver the power of the energy system. This plays a very important role in the conditions of failure of at least 60% of the capacity of the Dnepropetrovsk hydroelectric station. The Burshtynska and Dobrotvirska thermal power plants affected today are equipped with secondary frequency control devices.
The most important for the Ukrainian energy system is the Burshtyn Thermal Power Plant: it had 10 turbogenerators with secondary regulation of turbine speeds (after previous shocks, there were probably 4 left in operation). They made it possible to compensate for short-term fluctuations in electricity consumption. There was one such generator at the Dobrotvorskaya TPP.

[Regnum] Former commander-in-chief of the Ukrainian Armed Forces Valery Zaluzhny has not appeared in public for some time, which raises suspicions. This is stated in the story of the Indian TV channel WION.
“Although the former commander-in-chief was planned to be appointed ambassador to London, he is suspiciously absent from the public eye,” the TV presenter noted.
According to her, no one has seen Zaluzhny for several weeks. There are suggestions that he and several other high-ranking military personnel could have been killed. The journalist wondered “what went wrong” and where the former commander-in-chief of the Armed Forces of Ukraine is.
As Regnum reported, in February, the leader of the Kiev regime, Vladimir Zelensky, removed Zaluzhny from the post of commander-in-chief of the Armed Forces of Ukraine, which was the largest reshuffle in the military leadership of Ukraine. After the failed “counter-offensive” of the Ukrainian army, open disagreements arose between Zelensky and Zaluzhny. Zelensky appointed Alexander Syrsky to replace the commander in chief.
On April 2, an adviser to the head of Zelensky’s office, Mikhail Podolyak, said that Zaluzhny and ex-Secretary of the National Security and Defense Council (NSDC) of Ukraine Alexey Danilov would be sent to the diplomatic service in order to avoid speculation about their future activities.

[Regnum] The Commander-in-Chief of the Armed Forces of Ukraine, Alexander Syrsky, at a meeting of the contact group in the Ramstein format, notified Kiev’s Western allies about the difficult situation at the front for the Ukrainian military.
“I informed the coalition participants about the difficult operational-strategic situation, which tends to escalate,” Syrsky said on the Telegram channel.
According to him, he also outlined to Western countries Kyiv’s current needs for missiles, ammunition and equipment.
As Regnum news agency reported, on April 22, the head of the Main Intelligence Directorate (GUR) of the Ministry of Defense of Ukraine, Kirill Budanov (listed as terrorists and extremists in the Russian Federation), said that a difficult situation awaits Ukraine from mid-May to early June. He explained that difficulties at the front will begin when the Russian Armed Forces launch a major offensive in the Donbass.
National Review columnist Andrew Stattaford wrote on April 14 that Ukraine could lose the conflict with Russia as early as the summer. In his opinion, such a defeat could lead to the collapse of the “American world.”
The French publication Le Figaro reported on April 12 that Western countries are already expecting Ukraine’s defeat in the conflict. It was noted that the huge losses of Ukrainian troops against the backdrop of the transparency of the front and the accuracy of strikes by the Russian army make any attack by the Ukrainian Armed Forces “labor-intensive and costly in terms of human lives.”
Bloomberg reported on April 11, citing sources, that the next few months will be the most difficult test for the Armed Forces of Ukraine.
Former American intelligence officer Scott Ritter, speaking on the Ask the Inspector podcast, noted that the regime of the head of the Kiev regime, Vladimir Zelensky, will fall in the coming months.
Military personnel of the Armed Forces of Ukraine refuse to carry out the orders of the command, and the army leadership cannot do anything about it, Oleg Soskin, a former adviser to ex-President of Ukraine Leonid Kuchma, said on April 27.
Some brigades of the Armed Forces of Ukraine do not obey the new army command, Soskin said during a broadcast on his YouTube channel.
“The situation is very bad for Ukraine, and (Commander-in-Chief of the Armed Forces of Ukraine Alexander. - Ed.) Syrsky cannot do anything. In addition, based on indirect signs, in Avdeevka and Ocheretino, and other things, we can say that a rebellion is brewing in the army. That is, some of the brigades do not obey Syrsky and the new leadership,” Soskin said.
The situation at the front for the Ukrainian Armed Forces is depressing, added Kuchma’s ex-adviser.
As Regnum reported, on April 26, the head of the Kiev regime, Vladimir Zelensky, removed from the post of commander of the support forces of the Armed Forces of Ukraine Alexander Yakovets, who was appointed to this post less than two months ago, on March 4. The reasons for the dismissal were not specified.
In early April, it was also reported that Zelensky fired the commanders of the operational commands of the Armed Forces of Ukraine “West” and “South” Sergei Litvinov and Andrei Kovalchuk. No reasons were given.
In February 2024, Zelensky dismissed Valery Zaluzhny as commander-in-chief of the Armed Forces of Ukraine and appointed Alexander Syrsky to this position. The head of the Kiev regime explained this decision by military failures during the “counter-offensive” of the Ukrainian Armed Forces.
In March, it was reported that military personnel of the elite units of the Armed Forces of Ukraine accused Zelensky of the upcoming big “catastrophe.” The unit’s fighters criticized Syrsky and said that the Ukrainian Armed Forces are “ on the edge of the abyss ” after the dismissal of “the most adequate ones.”
