Battlefield Update - 2023-04-17 (2)
⚡️ (https://t.me/sitrepmaps/2015)🇷🇺🇺🇦⚔️ Situation in the #Soledar Direction until 15:00 on 17 Apr 2023⚡️
🔹Near #Belogorovka (#Lisichansk Sector) after several unsuccessful attacks and retreating to their initial lines, the RF Armed Forces managed to break through the AFU defences in the south of the village. Now intense clashes are taking place on the southeastern outskirts of the settlement.
🔹South of #Seversk, Stugna missile launchers were transferred to Ukrainian strongholds. Meanwhile, part of the 10th Brigade's forces will be redeployed to the new staging area from 17 to 23 April.
🔹 North of #Bakhmut, where Russian paratroopers hold ground, positional fighting is ongoing. Artillerymen of the RF Armed Forces carried out a precision strike on the position area of the 56th Separate Motorized Infantry Brigade's Artillery Group in #Malinovka and destroyed a fire point.
🔹In Central #Bakhmut, Fierce fighting continues. The Wagner PMC assault squads are fighting for control of the railway station, much of which has been liberated.
➖Slightly to the north of the railway station, the "Wagnerians" have dislodged the AFU from the Artyomovsk elevator area.
▪️ Nevertheless, Ukrainian formations are attempting to counterattack and hold back the advance on the western outskirts.
▪️ On the northern outskirts, PMC assault squads have entrenched themselves in a section of Kraynyaya Street and are attacking Ukrainian strongholds on Pobedy Street.
▪️ Also, Russian units have broken through from School No. 3 south along Levanevsky Street, approaching garages in the Poselok area.
📌 At the Moment, the Storming of #Bakhmut continues. There are no signs of an Ukrainian withdrawal, despite more than 80% of the city having passed under Russian control.
A National Guard force of 100 men has been redeployed to the vicinity of #Bakhmut, and volunteer formations from the #Sumy region are also expected to arrive.
Given the onslaught of the "Wagnerians" in the city centre and the approach of assault squads from the north, it is highly probable that the AFU will withdraw forces to the prepared positions on the southwestern outskirts.
The Chaykovsky-Korsunsky triangle is elevated relative to the areas from which the Russian units are attacking, making it a more convenient defensive line.
