PMC Wagner released its latest map and update on the situation in Bakhmut, and I guess we shouldn't have been shocked to learn that the claims made by Russian state media, WarGonzo, Rybar, and pro-Russian accounts have been, for the most part - untrue.
We see no reason for PMC Wagner to minimize their gains. As we've previously reported, the last update overstated their gains, as did Prig...

2023-04-08 11:15:24 +0000 UTC View PostDonetsk has been shelled two days in a row. Yesterday's strike was on a military target, as outlined in the Situation Report, and regrettably, because of the proximity of the logistics node to civilian businesses, Russian officials claim seven people were killed.
Donetsk was shelled again today, with 1 person killed and 16 reportedly injured. In preparing tonight's Situation Report, we fo...
2023-04-08 05:16:07 +0000 UTC View PostThree things we learn from this video.
First, the FLOT is possible one block further west than we think.
Second, Seymon Pegov loves making fake combat videos.
Third, his foot has finally recovered, and he runs pretty well for missing a couple of toes.
PMC Wagner captured this area on April 3, 2023, and Pegov and crew ran away from the FLOT on a preplanned and previously ...

While there was fighting (remember, the report looks backward at the previous 24 hours) it was harassment, recon, and contact touches. The only fighting was in Bakhmut and Marinka due to urban environments, with no verifiable territorial control changes.
In the Kreminna Operational Area, Russian forces attempted to launc...

The heaviest snow fell in the Russian rear echelon. Along the line of conflict from Avdiivka north to Svatove, troops on both sides are buried. The only places where there was notable fighting today ...

Ridiculous amounts of snow falling in eastern Ukraine and the Rostov region of the Russian Federation.
Along the Russia-Ukraine border, Shakhty has received up to 50 centimeters of snow according to computer models. Rostov-on-Don has received significantly less, 5 to 7 centimeters, while Donetsk has received 15 to 20 centimeters and Bakhmut over 20 centimeters. The Svatove and Kreminna Op...

2023-03-30 10:47:20 +0000 UTC View PostEvaluating and mapping urban warfare is incredibly difficult. Once combatants start fighting in an urban environment, progress is measured in meters, and control of buildings, homes, and even outbuildings, can change several times a day. Attacks can break through defensive lines but lack the ability to hold territorial gains. Artillery strikes can force retreats, but counterbattery can turn the...
