Situation in Ukraine
It has been 782 days since Russia invaded Kyiv.
First,
general things.
According to the General Staff of the Ukrainian Armed Forces,
the Russian losses were 770 soldiers
6 tanks
31 armored combat vehicles
41 cannons
31 drones
3 cruise missiles
54 other vehicles.
The entire front reported 76 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 2.6 compared to the number of losses on the Ukrainian side.
The losses of the Russian side are mostly infantry fighting vehicles,
military trucks and tanks,
and they are actively attacking by sending soldiers to the front lines.
On the Ukrainian side,
on the other hand,
pickups and artillery are conspicuous.
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.
A Russian expert in China has analyzed that Russia will definitely lose to Ukraine.
The author,
Feng Yujun,
is a well-known leading expert on Russia at Peking University.
The Economist article is long and can be summarized in three lines: ERussia will eventually be defeated and withdraw from all occupied territories,
including Crimea.
Nuclear weapons are useless.
Ukraine has destroyed the myth of Moscow's invincibility.
And so on.
On the other hand,
the war is not ending quickly,
Russia is ignoring the peaceful solution that China wants,
and China is being used as an excuse to create the illusion that Russia is not isolated.
and is critical of Russia.
The question is,
why did such a paper appear?
Given its proximity to the Chinese Communist Party,
it may be that in addition to China's intention to distance itself from Russia,
China is also trying to get closer to Europe at a time when relations between Europe and the U.S.
are strained over the war in Ukraine.
Second.
Britain's The Sun reported that Ukrainian officials say the Crimean bridge will be destroyed by mid-July.
The attack plan calls for a two-stage assault,
one on the bridge piers and the other on the bridge girders.
It is 1.
First,
the bridge girders will be destroyed by launching Storm Shadows from the small number of F-16s that will newly appear in Ukrainian airspace.
Russian air defenses are in shambles,
and the attack will be easily successful,
with 10 Storm Shadow shots being enough to destroy one span.
2.
Next,
several Ukrainian Water Drones carrying 900 kg of explosives will attack and destroy the bridge span.
3.
The strength of the bridge is greatly reduced,
the Crimean Bridge collapses because it cannot support its own load,
and Putin's 3 billion pound (600 billion yen) monster is split in two.
The report says.
Analysts say the destruction of the Crimean bridge would be a major step towards Ukraine's victory,
as the bridge would be dealt a fatal blow this time by a combined air and water attack.
The Guardian also reported that a third attack on the Crimean bridge would be a fatal blow and would be seen in the first half of this year.
Third.
Several U.S.
Republican congressmen have reported that a vote on the military aid bill involving Ukraine will take place this week or next.
Republican Congressman Mike Turner,
commenting on NBC News,
said that aid to Kyiv would be approved within days.
CNN also reported that House Speaker Johnson promised to consider additional aid legislation for Israel within the next week.
Fourth.
Yesterday's video reported that Iran attacked Israel with a number of missiles and suicide drones,
and subsequent intelligence reports indicate that Iran attacked with 170 Shahed suicide drones,
30 cruise missiles,
and 120 ballistic missiles,
and that Israel shot down 99% of them,
except for a few ballistic missiles.
Also,
US President Biden met with Israeli Prime Minister Netanyahu and told him to "accept the failure of the Iranian attack as a victory" and advised him not to retaliate against Iran,
according to the report.
Now,
here is the war situation in each region.
We 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 sector,
the Russians have not reported any attacks on the Svatove-Kreminna line from Kupyansk,
but have carried out 36 attacks around Siversk and in the direction of Bakhmut.
General Shirsky,
commander of the Ukrainian Armed Forces,
stated that "Russian troops have been ordered to occupy ChasivYar by May 9" and that attacks in this direction are expected to increase significantly in the future due to political propaganda to coincide with the inauguration of the Russian president.
Svatove-Kreminna line
The Russian military offensives in this direction have stopped and there has been no change in the war situation,
but there are reports that the Russian military has almost completed the reorganization of the 1st Armored Army and the 20th and 25th Panzer Divisions,
and that Lieutenant General Kuzobrev,
Commander of the Moscow Military District,
has been appointed as the new commander.
ChasivYar and surroundings
Russian forces in this area are trying to advance by avoiding urban warfare and actively attacking in convoys on the outskirts of the city.
1.
In Bohdanivka,
we had reported that the Russians had probably captured the settlement,
but based on several pieces of information,
it is likely that the Russians have captured at least the eastern half of the settlement and the northern side,
and we have updated the battle map of the area from disputed to occupied Russian territory.
2.
On the southeastern outskirts of Canal,
positional video shows that Russian forces attacked a Ukrainian military outpost and,
after heavy fighting,
overpowered it and advanced.
The battle map has been updated to show the area occupied by Russian forces from the disputed territory.
The Russians are working around the clock to attack Ukrainian positions,
while simultaneously closing the gap with the first town of Canal and preparing for a general assault to come.
3.
The Russians also attempted a vehicle breakthrough on the high and low roads on the northern outskirts of Ivanivske and were repulsed by Ukrainian forces at the location shown on the map,
with the loss of two BTR armored fighting vehicles.
What you see here is what the Russians looked like after they were repulsed after rushing through the narrow and twisting terrain shown on the map.
The battle map has been updated to show the Russian forces occupying the rear of this location from the contested area.
4.
The Russians also launched a major vehicle attack on the southern outskirts of Ivanivske,
but were detected relatively early by Ukrainian forces,
who returned fire with the Signum Battalion of the Ukrainian Drone Unit and the 5th Assault Brigade,
and the Russians were repulsed with heavy losses of one tank and eight BMP infantry fighting vehicles.
Shown is the Signum Battalion of the 93rd Mechanized Brigade of the Ukrainian Army,
with the location shown on the map.
There are no changes to the battle map.
Southeast,
Donetsk Oblast.
The weather in Avdiivka is sunny.
The minimum temperature is 13 degrees Celsius and the maximum is 20 degrees Celsius.
Today's forecast is cloudy.
The forecast for the 16th is windy,
which will affect drone flights,
and the Russian military offensive will be on the lookout.
Below is an update on the situation in the Avdiivka,
Marinka and Vuhledar areas.
Avdiivka area
In this area the Russians attacked 9 times.
1.
In Berdich,
as we reported in the video the day before yesterday,
the Russians changed their axis of attack to the north,
trying to go around the river and get behind the Ukrainian defensive line,
but the Russian vehicles were repelled by the Ukrainians before they could get around.
The Russians lost two BMP infantry fighting vehicles and a golf cart,
and some infantry advanced along the valley,
but were also repulsed by Ukrainian artillery fire.
The brigade shown is the 47th Mechanized Brigade of the Ukrainian Army,
which is running around energetically in the area shown on the map,
trying to play with the Ukrainian troops.
We have selected only the best shots for children under the age of 14,
and we will publish the telegram of the Russian soldier's last moments,
when he falls to the ground.
We have updated the battle map of this area from Ukrainian-controlled territory to disputed territory.
2.
In the settlement of Stepove,
T72 and BMP infantry fighting vehicles were destroyed by Ukrainian artillery fire,
and so far the Russian offensive is struggling without results,
as Ukrainian forces are monitoring Russian troop movements and reducing their strength before coming out to Berdych.
3.
In the triangle between Umanske and Netaylove,
the latest Russian BMP infantry fighting vehicle was damaged by Ukrainian forces,
according to the video with location information,
and the Russian soldiers on board dug holes for their own safety,
but were repulsed by the Ukrainian force.
The one we show you is from the 25th Airborne Brigade of the Ukrainian Army,
which is now watching the hole in the ground where four Russian troops are hiding.
The rest of this story will also be posted on the telegram,
so if you can handle the dreaming,
please see it from the overview section.
Marinka area
The Russians made 22 attacks in this area.
1.
In Krasnohorivka,
north of Marinka,
the Russian troops were repulsed,
as we reported in yesterday's video,
but they continued to attack and again began to move to the southeast side of the town.
Second.
In the center of Novomirovka,
Ukrainian troops advanced on Timiya Yayeva Street,
which is shown on the map,
and pushed back the Russian forces.
What we are showing you is the Russian side,
which is the location shown on the map,
and you can see the Ukrainian troops at this location from the Russian artillery fire.
Third.
Meanwhile,
on the outskirts of Novomichailivka,
Russian forces continued their vehicle attack southwest of the town,
destroying two Russian MTLB armored fighting vehicles at the same location as in yesterday's video.
No changes to the battle map so far: BBBB
Rear area
The commander of the Ukrainian Air Force,
Oleshchuk,
did not specify,
but said that the Ukrainian military attack was successful and thanked the pilots.
SNS and other sources report a successful attack on a Russian military command center in the Luhansk area with either Storm Shadow or Scalp missiles.
South,
Zaporizhia province.
South,
Kherson Province.
In this sector,
the Russians launched six attacks in Stalomaiorsk and Robotyne,
and three in Krinky,
all of which were repulsed by Ukrainian forces,
leaving the battle map unchanged.
In Robotyne,
the Russians attacked heavily from the south,
but the Ukrainians responded with equally heavy artillery fire and cluster shells,
and there are reports that the Russian attack failed.
That's all for today.
Thank you for watching.
