Situation in Ukraine
It has been 786 days since Russia invaded Kyiv.
First,
general things.
According to the General Staff of the Ukrainian Armed Forces,
the Russian losses were 870 soldiers
9 tanks
17 armored combat vehicles
21 artillery pieces
2 air defense systems
27 drones
3 cruise missiles
53 other vehicles.
The entire front reported 87 ground battles in a single day.
And the ratio of the number of losses of Ukrainian equipment to Russian losses,
which can be visually confirmed,
is 1 to 1.6 compared to the number of losses on the Ukrainian side.
The losses on the Russian side are mostly military trucks and infantry fighting vehicles,
while on the Ukrainian side more SUVs and armored vehicles have been identified.
Here is a short news report on the situation in Ukraine.
You can also use YouTube's chapter feature to watch it if you wish.
1.
The Economist reports that Ukraine already has a drone with a range of 3,
000 km and may use it.
No photos or other details are available,
but the article describes a visit by an Economist reporter to a Ukrainian drone factory.
The 3,
000-kilometer range extends from the Ukrainian border to the Urals,
putting cities such as Chelyabinsk,
Tyumen,
Omsk,
and Novosibirsk,
as well as the Urals oil fields,
within reach.
Ukraine's long-range drone strikes have been so effective that,
according to Bloomberg,
Russian diesel fuel exports have fallen by 25 percent.
Two.
German Deputy PM Habeck visited Kyiv and announced the granting of the IRIS-T SLM air defense system,
according to the German newspaper Bild.
This is a ground-based air defense system using the IRIS-T,
a short-range air-to-air missile,
and the system to be provided this time is a medium-range type with a range of 40 km (140 million euros per set).
Mr.
Rauf,
a representative of the manufacturer Deal Defense,
who accompanied the Deputy Prime Minister,
said: "We already have three of our air defense systems in Ukraine,
and more systems will be delivered this year.
This time they will be delivered to Ukraine within a few weeks".
Germany has also announced that it will deliver additional Patriot systems to Ukraine on March 13.
Third.
According to French media,
French authorities have confiscated the vacation home of President Putin's ex-wife.
The reason for the seizure is that the purchase funds are linked to a criminal organization.
The villa is located on the Bay of Piscay in southwestern France and features a 5,
000-square-meter garden,
swimming pool and golf course,
and the art deco building is a 450-square-meter mansion.
With an estimated value of 5.4 million euros,
it has been abandoned since the Russian invasion of Kyiv,
and the gates are reportedly marked with Ukrainian flags and hostile graffiti.
President Putin's ex-wife,
Lyudmila Ocheletnaya,
was involved in Russia's small loan business during the two-year war in Ukraine,
raking in 300% annual interest on small loans,
according to the report.
Borrowers can borrow up to 30,
000 rubles for 30 days and pay it back in full on time.
The loans have been a big hit in Russia,
where 31.1 million loans were made in 2022,
according to data from the Central Bank of Russia.
In Japan,
the Interest Rate Restriction Law makes it illegal to lend at interest rates exceeding 20% per annum.
Now let us look at the war situation in each region.
I will focus on the areas where the war situation has changed.
You can follow the changes with the date on the large full-screen display.
Northeast: Luhansk region
Eastern Bakhmut
This section covers the war situation on the Svatove-Kreminna line,
from the Siversk area to Bakhmut.
In this area,
the Russians attacked four times in Serhiyivka,
southwest of Svatovo,
three times in Terny,
and 24 times around Sibersk and in the direction of Bakhmut,
but all Russian attacks were repulsed by the Ukrainian forces,
and there is no information about any change in the battle map.
Southeast Donetsk region
The weather in Avdiivka was cloudy.
The minimum temperature is 12 degrees Celsius and the maximum is 25 degrees Celsius.
The weather forecast for today is hail.
Here is a report on the situation in Avdiivka,
Marinka and Vuhledar.
Avdiivka
The Russians carried out 19 attacks in this area.
An instructor of the Storm Z assault unit of the Russian Army explained the tactics of the Russian Army in this area: "First,
they hit the settlements around the targeted settlements with artillery and air strikes to disable the Ukrainian army,
then they make a frontal attack on the targeted settlements,
followed by a flanking attack.
This method has been successful,
although it has resulted in heavy casualties among the Russian troops,
" he said.
1.
In Novokalinove,
we reported on the April 9-10 video of the Russian military attack,
but since then,
unconfirmed reports from several sources close to the Russian side indicate that there is a ground battle with Ukrainian forces on the southeast side of Novokalinove.
This area was partially retaken by Ukrainian forces in January,
but since there is no information to confirm this at this time,
it is shown as an extension of the disputed area on the battle map,
and we will update you with more information as it becomes available.
Second.
The second area is along the railroad tracks to the west of the Ukrainian border,
which we reported on in our video the day before yesterday,
where the Ukrainian army counterattacked and forced the Russians to retreat.
The video shows the location on the map where Russian soldiers approach the Ukrainian positions.
The Russians then mop up the Ukrainian positions and take four Ukrainian prisoners,
a scene I thought would upset most of you,
so I put it in a separate telegram.
There is a link to it in the summary section,
but as a contributor who wishes viewers a peaceful day,
I would prefer that you not see it.
I have updated the battle map,
as the Russians have again occupied this area from disputed territory.
3.
In the direction of Ocheretine,
west of this area,
we have information that the Russians have advanced on the railroad track and attacked the Ukrainian positions,
breaking through and reaching Ocheretine.
The Russians seem to have found the defenses in this area weak,
and the Ukrainians have also been shelling the base of the attack to reduce their strength,
but they have been unable to stop the Russian advance.
According to a Storm Z Corps instructor,
"In the attack on Ochelettine,
they bombed the surrounding areas of Novokalinove,
Berdych,
and Keramik,
and then attacked Ochelettine,
which was successful.
Video footage with location information shows that the Russians first shelled residential areas north and south of the railroad tracks,
Unconfirmed reports from close to the Russian side indicate that the Russians took control of this residential area and advanced further along the railroad to a substation on the outskirts of Ocheretine.
The battle map has been updated to include this area as an extension of the contested territory.
4th.
In Berdych and Semenivka,
the Russians are bombing all the settlements in the rear and then launching a ground offensive,
There are reports that the Russians have advanced to the settlements southwest of Berdych,
while the Ukrainian forces have counterattacked and retaken the area south of the pond,
so it seems that the situation is shifting during the day.
There is no change in the battle map,
but there are several reports that the situation is bad for the Ukrainian forces.
Marinka Sector
Russian forces have made 19 attacks in this area,
but there is no information that affects the battle map.
Rear area
1.
In Mordovia,
600 km from the Ukrainian border,
there is information that on April 17 a Ukrainian drone converted from a light aircraft attacked the Russian 29B6 container radar twice.
Incidentally,
we reported in a video on April 10 that it was submerged in water,
but this may have been the first attack.
This radar can detect at a range of up to 3,
000 kilometers and was completed by Russia in 2019 after 15 years of work.
2.
In Voronezh,
to the southwest of the area,
there are reports of an explosion and fire following an attack by a formation of drones.
Video footage shows flames and smoke,
but information indicates that it was a warehouse storing timber and machine tools,
as well as oil tanks.
Third.
In Stavropol,
Russia,
a Tu-22M3 strategic bomber bombing Ukraine crashed,
the Ukrainian military shot it down with an S200,
and it flew for a while before crashing.
In the video,
the plane can be seen falling in a flat spin.
South,
Zaporizhia region.
South,
Kherson province.
In this area,
the Russians launched five attacks on Stalomaiorsk and Robotyne,
and three attacks on Krinky,
but the Ukrainians repulsed all of them,
leaving the battle map unchanged.
Other News
Although not in Ukraine,
there are reports that Israel attacked Iran and that explosions were heard in Isfahan,
central Iran.
According to Bloomberg,
this is believed to be one of the rocket launch sites for the attack on Israel on the 13th.
This caused the price of oil to rise from $87 to $90 for North Sea Brent.
That's all for today.
Thank you for watching.
