Sargon Hadaya:

⚡️Another exclusive from Bakhmut (Artyomovsk)

"Foreign mercenaries are evil spirits that will be destroyed."

"Orchestra" uses all available tools to destroy the enemy. “There are almost no locals left here - mostly Poles and Americans work, and Georgian speech is heard over radio interception.” The fighting in the city does not stop, the intensity of the fire rolls over. "Musicians" with their fire return the name of Artyomovsk to the city.

More from Sargon:

⚡️Exclusive from Bakhmut (Artyomovsk)

“Soon we will take all of Bakhmut!”

"Musicians" have taken control of several areas of the private sector and continue to storm high-rise buildings.

“The struggle is for every house, for every quarter, for every piece of this land. We're moving on, moving on, moving on, moving on. Soon, I think, we will take all of Bakhmut, ”says the“ musician ”of the“ orchestra ”.

The fiercest battles are going on in the city, the cannonade does not stop and the “piano” plays. “The enemy did not strengthen, but dug in ... we advance daily, everything that they oppose, we work with him: we suppress in every possible way and move on.”

Don't ask...no idea...

Yuri:

Zaporozhye direction - thoughts about the offensive of the RF Armed Forces.

Judging by the information received today, the enemy is not yet able to build a continuous line of defense, especially in several echelons, as in the Donbass (not enough forces).

Its defense is built around communications centers in the hope that our units will not go forward, leaving them in the rear. He is given confidence by the fact that last summer the Armed Forces of Ukraine showed how they can work on the communications of our troops. And then there are the Hymers, which can really spoil our plans for us.

The tactics are dangerous for the Armed Forces of Ukraine because if we have much more forces than the enemy expects, and we will be able to solve the issue of covering the rear and the interaction of troops (and here we have a lot of progress compared to the summer, although not everything is as good as we would like ), then this can cause the collapse of the front. And then, in order to prevent this, the enemy will have to urgently transfer forces from other directions.

And there are already so few of them and this can cause crises in other "directions".

And this gives us a unique chance (before spring) to carry out an offensive operation on a large scale.

The only question is can we? In fact, it’s not even the enemy that worries me more in this matter, but the ability of the military branches of the RF Verkhovna Rada to interact on the battlefield, communications, and rear. If critical problems can be avoided here, then there are chances of success.

On Artemovsk:

There is an insufficient supply of western weapons and ammunition (for AFU) and the need to prepare personnel for their use.

During the day, the units conducted active reconnaissance-strike actions and did not allow them to lose positions. Offensive actions continued to defeat the enemy in settlements (Vasyukovka, Blagodatnaya, Krasnaya Gora), and reserves from the west should not be allowed to approach.

The Russian Armed Forces carried out offensives in the direction of Soledar-Zalizianske and seized a company stronghold.

The Wagner PMCs are conducting active offensives in Kleshcheevka - Ivanovskoye. Kleshcheevka under the control of the Wagners

It is necessary to prevent the enemy from striking at the flank of our troops from the direction Vesheloye - Yakovlevka, to create a threat of encirclement of the enemy in front of the front, and also to continue the offensive in the direction Andreevka - Ivanovskoye with the task of blockading the enemy from the south, south-west.

AFP, citing its sources, states that the United States recommends that Ukraine withdraw its forces from Bakhmut.

According to a senior official, Kyiv's increased focus on holding the city makes it difficult to prepare for the planned spring offensive, since in the case of Bakhmut, time is on the side of the Russian Armed Forces, which have more military resources, including artillery and soldiers.

According to the official, Ukraine may not have enough resources to both conduct hostilities in the city and prepare for an offensive in the south of the country, so the Armed Forces of Ukraine should "exchange" Bakhmut in exchange for time to prepare for hostilities in the south of the country.

It appears the Western masters are all in on a "Melitopol to Crimea" offensive in the Spring. Personally, I see this as suicide. This would require a mass movement of troops over open terrain under the guns of the RF just to pass through Zaporozhye.

Dear readers, we need your assistance. As the number of information grows by the minute, we need volunteers with native knowledge of Russian and Ukrainian to help us, especially with slang, because not all in our team know the language. If you are willing and want to help, write a message and send it through @ColonelStierlitzBot

I bet you thought we would ask for money from you. That is not going to happen.

Yours SLG
THANK YOU in advance.
