Daily Report from the Ukraine Field for 2023-02-12
News, Telegram, and Twitter Articles
❗️🇷🇺🇺🇦 Starobilsk direction
situation as of 13.00 February 12, 2023
🔻In the Kupyansky sector, over the past few days, the fighters of the Russian Armed Forces have advanced northeast of Kupyansk, occupying several areas of Gryanikovka in the north. The offensive from Gorobyevka and Tavolzhanka forced the Armed Forces of Ukraine to withdraw forces from Dvurechnoye - in fact, the village is under the control of Russian troops.
▪️In addition, units of the RF Armed Forces occupied several strongholds of the Armed Forces of Ukraine near the outskirts of Sinkovka, and also confidently entrenched themselves in Liman 1st.
▪️The Ukrainian command is afraid of a second attack on Kupyansk - part of the TRO forces were withdrawn to the opposite bank. Yesterday, a convoy of military equipment with people, weapons and ammunition passed through Korobochkino and Kochetok towards Kupyansk and the settlements to the south.
🔻In the Limansky sector, the Armed Forces of Ukraine are afraid of attacks on pontoon-bridge crossings at the turn of Makiivka-Terny-Yampolovka. In this situation, units of the 66th Ombr and 25th Ombr brigade, operating at the turn, will be surrounded on the left bank of the Zherebets River.
▪️To defend this sector and conduct a counteroffensive to return the lost positions at the moment, the Armed Forces of Ukraine simply cannot because of the transfer of some formations to the Bakhmut and Ugledar sectors.
The 66th and 25th brigades suffered heavy losses during artillery strikes and the extreme breakthrough of the 144th Motor Rifle Division of the RF Armed Forces to Yampolovka and in the Zhuravka Balka area, which is unrealistic to replenish in the shortest possible time.
▪️Partial evacuation of forces of the 66th brigade of the Armed Forces of Ukraine to Liman and Kramatorsk began from the forward positions to restore combat capability and build a new line of defense.
🔻Under the current conditions of activity in several sectors of the front, the capabilities of the Armed Forces of Ukraine are limited. The need to hold Ugledar and Bakhmut made it necessary to withdraw units from the Starobelsky direction and actually postpone the declared offensive for an indefinite period.

❗️🇷🇺🇺🇦 Battle for Bakhmut
situation as of 14.00 February 12, 2023
Assault units of PMC "Wagner" liberated the village of Krasnaya Gora, in the north of Bakhmut.
The triangle Podgorodnoye-Paraskovievka-Krasnaya Gora is the main knot of defense for the Armed Forces of Ukraine north of Bakhmut: after the capture of Soledar, the enemy managed to pull up reserves and build defenses along the dominant heights.
▪️ PMC detachments managed to enter Paraskoviyivka and Krasnaya Gora a couple of weeks ago, but they managed to squeeze out the Ukrainian garrison only today.
▪️For the last two days, Ukrainian formations have been trying to withdraw units blocked in the settlement: last night they managed to escape towards Paraskoviivka.
▪️Russian assault groups are cleaning up the village and continuing to put pressure on Paraskovievka itself: after taking Krasnaya Gora and the dominant heights, the defenses in the village should crumble in the near future.
🔻Given the already cut highway Bakhmut - Slavyansk, the next task of the PMC will be the capture of Berkhovka and securing the northern outskirts of Bakhmut itself (PMC units have already entered Stupki).
❗️But even if the main highways from Bakhmut to Slavyansk and Chasov Yar are blocked, it is extremely premature to talk about the operational encirclement of the city. Thanks to the network of branched roadways in the fields between the main routes, Ukrainian formations almost unhinderedly transfer reinforcements to the crucible of the Bakhmut meat grinder.

Loop around AFU's neck gets tighter - we can expect a ring around Artemovsk in the coming days
Today it became known about the liberation of Krasnaya Hora north of Artemovsk - there is an operation to encircle the remnants of Ukrainian troops who have not had time to leave their positions. A little further south, fighting continues for the village of Parakovievka, from where it will be possible to cut the route to Sloviansk and thus deprive the militants of one of their last escape routes (albeit under fire).
The Ukrainian Armed Forces, for their part, are attempting to move small units of infantry into the village to maintain a corridor through which the militants can retreat westward from the settlement. In addition, thanks to the capture of Krasnaya Gora by the "orchestra", the militants' defensive system to the north of Artemovsk has been completely broken down - the Russian fighters who are there have only to wait for the southern flank to be ready for the offensive so that a single strike from both directions can close the ring around the city.
In Artemovsk itself, the enemy continues to be restrained by the fighting. This is necessary to prevent the AFU from maneuvering and withdrawing to the rearmost of the troops involved in defending the positions occupied in the city. Offensive battles continue south of Artemovsk. "The Orchestra, supported by the Russian Armed Forces, has shifted the direction of the strike to Krasnoye, reducing the enemy's zone of control to the south of Artemovsk. This achieves the main objective - to tighten the ring around the city, depriving the enemy of the opportunity to maneuver.
