09:09 Frontline summary on the morning of 01/20/2023

In Zaporozhye, the Russian army, with the support of artillery, attacked the positions of the Armed Forces of Ukraine in Stepnoe in order to reach an important section of the road leading to Orekhovo. To the south-east of this city, she tried to move towards Malaya Tokmachka. There is also a section of the rockade. Thus, the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation are striving to reach Orekhov from two sides. Artillery hit Gulyai-Pole and Poltavka. (Fig. 1)

On the Donetsk front, Russian troops attacked in the direction of the local Paraskoveevka. In Marinka, they are pushing the APU on the western outskirts of the city, advancing in the Vodiane area. Artillery is working in the Ukrainian fortified area in Avdiivka. (Fig. 2)

South of Bakhmut, the Armed Forces of Ukraine have serious problems. PMC "Wagner" from Kurdyumovka attacks in the direction of Dyleevka. And a little to the north, an assault is already underway at the White Mountain. That is, the "musicians" set their sights on Konstantinovka, through which the supply of the Ukrainian garrison in Bakhmut passes.

Moreover, this city, like Chasov Yar, is the command center of the Armed Forces of Ukraine in the Donbass and the place of concentration of forces and reserves. Konstantinovka is also the southern gate of Kramatorsk. After PMC "Wagner" took Kleshcheevka, the way to Bakhmut from the south is open.

There are no more settlements here. On the eastern outskirts of Bakhmut itself, the Wagner operators are also advancing. But this is more likely a diversion of enemy forces. It is obvious that they will try to encircle the city. This is evidenced by the events north of Bakhmut. PMC "Wagner" attacks Krasnaya Gora and Blagodatnoe. And to the east of Seversk, Russian troops are already trying to advance towards Verkhnekamenskoye. (Fig. 3)

In the Lugansk direction, the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation again attacked in the Belogorovka area. They also tried to advance from Zhitlovka to Terny. The Armed Forces of Ukraine, in turn, are conducting offensive operations on Kuzemovka. For Russian troops, this is a dangerous direction. There are no settlements behind this village, rather open area. Quite a convenient way to Svatovo from the north-west. (Fig. 4)
