❗️🇷🇺🇺🇦 Chronicle of a special military operation

for March 30, 2023

🔻Starobelsk direction:

▪️On the Kupyansky sector of the front, the situation has not changed significantly: artillery duels and mutual reconnaissance continue along the line of contact.

▪️In the Limansky direction, Russian troops are engaged in positional battles at the Torskoye-Terny line, as well as in the area of the Zhuravka gully.

🔻Luhansk People's Republic:

▪️Ukrainian formations fired at least four rockets from the HIMARS MLRS at the village of Troitskoe: residential buildings, a hospital and a store were damaged. One civilian was killed and 14 others were injured.

🔻Soledar direction:

▪️In the north of Bakhmut, assault detachments of the Wagner PMC are advancing in the Selishche area. Fighting is also taking place on the outskirts of Levanevsky Street and adjacent houses to the AZOM industrial zone.

▪️In the city center, Russian troops, after taking control of the central market area, proceeded to storm the positions of the Armed Forces of Ukraine in the area of Nizhnyaya Street: heavy fighting is going on for control of the building of the Bakhmut city administration.

▪️In the south, the districts of Sobachevka and Budenovka have been completely liberated. The "Wagnerites" started a battle with Ukrainian formations north of Shirokaya and Mariupolskaya streets, expanding the zone of control.

▪️In the area of Krasny, Khromovo and Orekhovo-Vasilevka, the front line has not undergone significant changes: fighting continues for control of key enemy positions and for the road to Konstantinovka.

🔻Donetsk direction:

▪️To the north of Avdiivka, Russian troops continue to conduct positional battles in a forest near Novobakhmutovka.

▪️To the south, the RF Armed Forces inflict fire damage on the fortified areas of Ukrainian formations on the outskirts of the North.

▪️In Marinka, Russian units, with fire support from tanks and artillery, were able to advance in the center of urban development: after being surrounded on both sides, the enemy was forced to retreat from strongholds in the building of the church and the district council.

▪️Ukrainian formations once again fired at the Donetsk agglomeration: the machine-building plant in Yasynuvata was also under attack, three employees of which were injured.

🔻Southern Front: Kherson direction:

❗️🇷🇺🇺🇦 Highlights of Russian Military Operation in Ukraine on March 30

▪️The AFU fired at least four HIMARS missiles at the village of Troitske in the Luhansk People's Republic.

Residential houses, the central district hospital, and a store were hit. Fourteen civilians were wounded and one person was killed.

▪️In northern Bakhmut, Wagner PMC assault groups are expanding their zone of control around the Artemivsk non-ferrous metal processing plant.

At the moment, clashes are taking place in Selyshche area near the football stadium, as well as at the residential area near the industrial zone.

▪️Heavy fighting continues near the Central Market and the Bakhmut district administration.

In recent days, the Wagner PMC assault groups have significantly intensified their attacks, apparently relying on a direct assault on city blocks.

▪️To the south, the city districts of Sobachevka and Budonnivka are under full control.

The line of contact has shifted northward to the area of Vodokanal, Shyroka and Mariupolska streets.

▪️The Kyiv regime continues its massive shelling of Donbass towns and villages.

Artillery strikes damaged a machinery plant in Yasynuvata, an administration in Horlivka, and several civilian objects in Donetsk.

▪️Despite rapidly deteriorating weather conditions, Russian forces continue their positional offensive north of Avdiivka.

The immediate task is to destroy the AFU strongholds in the forest belt south of Novobakhmutivka.

▪️In Marinka, Russian motorized rifle division occupied the district administration building, the fighting for which had been going on for several months.

At the same time, to the west of Druzhba Avenue, the zone of control was expanded, which significantly complicated AFU defense.

A clever ruse by a russian FPV drone operator lands his drone on the UA trench,where a naive soldier picks it up,thinking he got lucky today,but his joy ended in a quick explosion that certainly sent him to the otherworld.

An armored vehicle has thick skin,but even they are helpless when the opponent catch them refuelling and reloading. Prizrak brigade just did that...and the night suddenly turned into day as the explosions shook the village under the wrath of artillery.

This is CNN in 2014 before the suffering in Donbas disappeared from Western media. If we acknowledge the complexities of this conflict, then there could be negotiations. If we censor and portray the conflict simply as good vs evil, then negotiations can be equated to appeasement

The US plan was always to stop EU buying Russian gas: "You want to change the structure of energy dependence. You want to depend more on the North American energy platform. You want to have pipelines that don't go through Ukraine and Russia" -Condoleezza Rice, 2014

Gammon @GammonBadge

No,there is no shortage of quadcopter footage utterly devoid of mercy from the russian side today. At Belogorovka,they hit the ukranian trenches until hardly any living thing remained there +18

NATO says it didn't notice Ukraine soldier's apparent Nazi symbol in tweet

The MSM's Ukraine neo-Nazi Amnesia

As Russia invaded Ukraine, the entire MSM joined in lockstep to give us a narrative. An important part of the narrative was that Russia’s claim that Neo-Nazi’s are a force in Ukraine is a Kremlin lie. It is a narrative that is easily unraveled by the MSM’s own past articles. So far, no MSM outlets are willing to discuss this ugly truth today. Anyone…

NATO expansion to the east 35 years ago.

Bakhmut no reliable intel, just propaganda mode. Ru attacking during night only , UA trying to recover positions during day.
