Bakhmut has finally fallen to the Russians. The Ukrainians have been muscled out of the city & are barely clinging on to the outskirts as Wagner reigns supreme Meanwhile both sides continue to launch drones & missiles at each other relentlessly Also the west has decided to facilitate the transfer of F-16s to Ukraine

The fall of Bakhmut seems inevitable and it appears that it's only a matter of time. Wagner assault units have successfully taken more than 99% of the city. Only a few pockets of resistance remain, with Ukrainian forces still clinging onto a few building blocks and areas on the outskirts of the city.. Meanwhile Russia yet again launched another barrage of missiles and drones at cities throughout Ukraine.

In Bakhmut Ukraine is on the verge, currently controlling only 1% of the city Russia strikes Ukraine again with more missiles, destroying multiple weapons depots

The battle for Marinka, a grinding, attritional battle. This is Ukraine's forgotten city,

Ukrainian troops have been forced out of Bakhmut and are now beginning to retreat towards Ivanivske and Chasiv Yar. Last night Russia launched dozens of drones and missiles at the Ukrainian capital of Kiev. Ukraine claims that they shot down all the incoming projectiles, yet the evidence seems to counter this claim. The US has now admitted that a Patriot battery was damaged, although the Russians claim that one Patriot system was damaged, one completely destroyed and another one untouched. Russia also claims to have hit all of their intended targets. Elsewhere in Ukraine, Russia claims to have shot down 7 UK supplied Storm Shadow missiles. At the same time Russia again hit various targets in the city of Mykolaiv as battle for the city of Marinka continues to grind on.

Last night Russia launched a massive air strike on the Ukrainian capital Kiev. Ukraine claims to have shot down all of Russia's drones & missiles including several Kinzhal hypersonic missiles Russia claims to have destroyed an American made Patriot air defense system Meanwhile Russia claims territory near Kupiansk in the north of Ukraine Also Ukraine now controls less than 1 SQ KM in Bakhmut.

Ukraine now only controls approx 1.5 sq km in Bakhmut Russia has launched another massive missile and drone strike on Kiev with Ukraine claiming that they shot down 6 Kinzhal hypersonic missiles & much more Also for the 4th day in a row, Ukraine has launched Shadow Storm, stealth cruise missiles at the city of Lugansk. These missiles have a range of 300 km and were transferred to Ukraine from the UK. Now Zelensky has just returned from Europe, where he just visited Italy and Germany, asking both nations for more advanced weapons, including F-16s, more HIMARS & longer range missiles. Russia considers this a major escalation in the war & has vowed to respond

The struggle for Bakhmut rages on as Ukraine's counter offensive enters its 5th day. Ukraine now only controls less than 1.25 SQ KM in the city itself. In the flanks of Bakhmut however Ukraine has made some gains although no settlements have yet changed hands. The question is at what cost ? In other news, according to reports, radiation levels are increasing in the city of Ternopil, deep inside western Ukraine, a day after Russia used Shahed-136/Geran-2 kamikaze drones to destroy several vital Ukrainian targets in Ternopil and Khmelinskiy Russia is claiming to have destroyed $500 million dollars worth of ammunition, including the depleted Uranium shells that were intended for the Challenger 2 tanks provided by the UK.

Please LIKE and SUBSCRIBE, COMMENT & SHARE May 13th, 2003 (yesterday) was the worst day for the Russian airforce since the start of the war in Ukraine. Russia lost 2x MI-8 transport helicopters, 1 SU-34 bomber jet and 1 SU-35 air superiority fighter. We go over both version of events. Also Ukraine has hit multiple targets in the city of Lugansk during the last 48 hrs using the newly arrived Storm Shadow missiles provided by the UK. Seemingly in retaliation Russia has destroyed multiple military targets deep inside western Ukraine, in the cities of Khmelinskiy & Ternopil. Allegedly several large stockpiles of ammunition/shells/missiles & fuel were destroyed using Geran-2 / Shahed-136 kamikaze drones. In the aftermath there were massive mushrooms clouds billowing over both cities, reminiscent of a nuclear strike. Also in Bakhmut the fighting continues with Ukraine having gains some territory to the north & south of Bakhmut. Meanwhile in the city itself, Ukrainian troops are barely holding on as Wagner continues to press forward without relenting.

Please LIKE & SUBSCRIBE, COMMENT & SHARE This just in: 2 Russian MI-8 helicopters, 1 SU-35 fighter jet and 1 SU-34 have been shot down over the Brysank region of Russia, bordering Ukraine. Russian authorities have blocked off the area and are trying to apprehend the perpetrator, claiming that they were shot down using MANPADS. Russian war blogger Rybar however believes that they could have been shot down using AIM-120 air to air missiles Also an ammo depot in Khmelnitsky was destroyed along with critical infrastructure that was allegedly targeted by Geran-2 / Shahed-136 kamikaze drones. Meanwhile for the second day in a row Ukraine hit various targets in the city of Lugansk using Storm Shadow missiles which were recently received from the UK.

Ukraine has launched its long anticipated counter attack to liberate Bakhmut from Wagner. The Ukrainians have indeed made some gains, but the question is at what cost ?

Ukraine has begun its much anticipated counter offensive. The Russians have been pushed back in multiple directions. Meanwhile the UK has announced that they will be giving Ukraine Storm Shadow, stealth missiles with a range of 300 KM. What does all this mean in the grand scheme of things ? How will Russia respond ? Will Ukraine be able to ultimately prevail ?

Ukraine has launched a multi pronged counter offensive in the north & south of Bakhmut. Thus far Russian Wagner units appear to be falling back as their defensive lines stiffen and they prepare for the onslaught. Also yesterday Vitali Klitschko released a video proudly showing off the remains of a Russian Khinzhal hypersonic missile, which was allegedly shot down by a Patriot air defense system. However not all is as it seems.

Ukraine has launched a successful counter offensive in the south of Bakhmut, which has forced units of Wagner & regular Russian troops to retreat eastwards across the river line. The question on everyone's mind is whether or not Ukraine can now capitalize on their success and whether this is the start of a much larger operation ? #Ukraine #Russia #war #map #conflict #military #Sitrep #Wagner #Bakhmut

Today on May 9th, Russia celebrated Victory day. In Ukraine Zelensky changed the designation to Europe Day instead. Fly overs were cancelled over security concerns. There was a significant security presence near the Kremlin & the entire event was more reserved as opposed to previous years. Last night Russia launched what some are calling the largest missile strike yet on Ukrainian territory. Ukraine claims to have shot down almost all of the missiles and drones, however multiple explosions were reported & Russia claims to have hit every single one of their targets. In Bakhmut, Ukraine is barely holding on, with all roads in & out of the city either under Russian fire or physical control. Notably, Ukraine was able to prevent the Russians from taking the city before Victory Day. Despite that it's evident that it's merely just a matter of time before the entire city falls under Russian control. https://twitter.com/mr_geopolitics

Yevgeny Prigozhin & the Russian military have seemingly resolved their dispute as Wagner resumes its offensive on Bakhmut by launching an all out assault. According to reports, Ukraine now only control 5% or less of the city. Russia has launched a massive missile attack on Ukraine, targeting a variety of cities, including in the capital Kiev, where Ukraine claims to have shot down 35 Geran-2 / Shahed-136 kamikaze drones In other news, a second pro Russian war blogger has been targeted in as many days. Lancet kamikaze drones continue their rampage, targeting Ukrainian equipment and Ukraine seems poised to launch its much anticipated counter offensive as Ukrainian troops & equipment make their way to the front lines https://twitter.com/mr_geopolitics

Ukraine is about to launch its much anticipated counter offensive. Probing attacks along the frontlines in Zaporizhia region are constantly increasing. Elsewhere on the front, Leopard tanks have been seen in Odessa Meanwhile the head of Wagner PMC has released several controversial videos in which he has made a variety of claims. Prigozhin states that Ukraine is losing 400-600 soldiers daily in Bakhmut and that Ukraine is also sending that many soldiers into the city on a daily basis. Prigozhin also complains about a lack of support & supplies from the Russian military, ranting angrily that his soldiers are dying unnecessarily. At the same time Prigozhin has stated that if they do not receive the required support, that Wagner will withdraw from Bakhmut on May 10th, 2023, in 4 days. Currently, according to Prigozhin, Ukrainian forces only controls approximately 2.5 square blocks in Bakhmut. Despite these claims about a possible Wagner withdrawal, all reports seem to indicate that Russia is sending more troops & supplies to Bakhmut & that Wagner has launched a final assault on Ukraine's last remaining positions in the city. The Russians seem to be determined to take all of Bakhmut before the May 9th, Victory Day celebrations, commemorating the Soviet Union's victory in WW2. The Russians, using the much feared TOS flamethrower system, along with GPS guided, FAB-500, glide bombs are ruthlessly incinerating (fire bombing) all the areas of Bakhmut which are still under Ukrainian control

The Kremlin has been struck by several kamikaze drones. Was it a false flag by the Russians or a genuine Ukrainian assassination attempt to take out Putin ? Or was it simply meant as a symbolic attack to boost Ukrainian morale before their much anticipated counter offensive ? In Bakhmut the situation continues to deteriorate for Ukrainian forces. Russian troops are ruthlessly pummeling the city with a combination of TOS flamethrower thermobaric warheads and FAB-500 GPS guided glide bombs with their 1 ton warheads. Ukrainian positions are literally being wiped off the map, completely annihilated. Ukraine now merely controls 5-10% of the city as Russia tries to seize the entire city before May 9th, Victory Day. Elsewhere in Ukraine, as the weather has begun to improve, Ukrainian troops have launched pre-emptive probing attacks all along the front lines of Zaporizhia. Also a recent ambitious operation along the islands on the Dnieper, between the Russian & Ukrainian controlled mainlands in the Kherson Oblast has largely failed. Ukraine moved several S-300 batteries to the front in order to provide air cover for their troops. At least three S-300 batteries & one German made Gepard air defense system were destroyed by several Russian Lancet kamikaze drones Also during the last several days, both sides have increasingly used a combination of kamikaze drones to target each others logistics, including oil refineries, chemical plants, army bases & much more.
