Commentary by Russian military journalist Boris Rozhin.

[ColonelCassad] 1. Mariupol.
The unhurried assault on Azovstal continues. Having lost waste heaps, the enemy continues to hold key buildings on the territory of the plant, which are subjected to heavy air and artillery strikes, which leads to an increase in losses.

2. Zaporozhye.
On the line Kamenskoye-Orekhov-Gulyaipole without changes. There is also no significant progress on the Gulyaipole-Velikaya Novoselovka line.

3. Ugledar.
On the line Novomikhailovka-Ugledar-Velikaya Novoselovka without changes. Heavy fighting is noted in the Novomikhailovka area.

4. Marinka.
There is no significant progress in the village. Fights, as before, are going on in the area of ​​the waste heap.

5. Avdievka.
Fighting continues near the Avdievka-Konstantinovka highway. It is reported about the undermining of the dam by the Armed Forces of Ukraine in order to impede the advance of the advancing troops. There are also battles near Novobakhmutovka and in the Troitsky area.

6. LPR.
After the capture of Popasnaya, the enemy's defenses were probed in the direction of Artemovsk. Fighting continues in the area of ​​Toshkovka and Voevodovka. The enemy continues to be pushed back from Rubizhne. There are also heavy battles in the area of ​​Belogorovka, where there is a threat to the communications of the Severodonetsk group of the Armed Forces of Ukraine. Both sides are suffering serious losses. Nevertheless, the risks of encirclement of a part of the Donbass grouping of the Armed Forces of Ukraine are growing.

7. Izyum.
Heavy fighting continues in the area of ​​Kurulka and Pashkovo, as well as at Velikaya Kamyshevakha. Near Yampol, the enemy suffered heavy losses and was forced to withdraw. Troops are approaching Krasny Liman from the northwest. The command of the Armed Forces of Ukraine hastily transfers reserves here to support the sagging front.

8. Kharkov.
The enemy continues to attack in the direction of Liptsy and Kazachya Lopan, intending to push the Russian troops further from Kharkov. There is also an advance from Stary Saltov in the direction of Ternovaya, in the area where fighting is taking place. It is obvious that reinforcement of the grouping is required in the Kharkov direction. The approach of the Armed Forces of Ukraine to the borders increases the threat of shelling of settlements on the territory of the Russian Federation, which will be problematic to suppress without control of the north of the Kharkiv region.

9. Nikolaev.
No significant changes in both the Nikolaevsky and Nikopol directions. Fights are positional in nature.

10. Odessa.
No significant changes. The enemy stopped trying to land on Zmeiny Island, having suffered serious losses. According to some sources, foreign military advisers were among those killed on Zmein. Plans to take Serpentine by May 9 failed.
