15:25 Advancing on the suburb of Avdievka, the fighters of the separate assault battalion "Somalia" took possession of American anti-tank weapons. They were abandoned by the retreating Ukrainian military. Shows the battalion commander with the call sign "Boycott".

15:12 The removal of the Ukrainian wounded from Azovstal has begun, they will be taken to hospitals on the territory of the DPR.

15:10 Fighting in the cities resumes again. Severodonetsk, ahead, obviously, Slavyansk, Kramatorsk and others. And if the experience of Mariupol says something, then one of the main conclusions is the need for the troops to have specialized heavy engineering assault units designed to operate in fortified areas, in particular in urban areas.

They must have special weapons, including heavy infantry fighting vehicles and tanks for urban combat, obstacle and demining vehicles, heavy bulldozers and tractors, and, of course, infantry specially trained for operations in these conditions - with appropriate support, including a large number of drones that allow you to look and behind the house, and inside the house.

Such units would be useful in Mariupol, and in Severodnetsk-Lysichansk and in many other places. Of course, we must be aware that even if we start creating them now, they most likely will not have time for this operation. But the experience of urban battles that our army is now receiving at a high price should not disappear without a trace - especially since no one promised the absence of new wars in the future.

And yes, there have already been such units in our history. They were called ShISBR - assault engineer-sapper brigades. They fought in Stalingrad, broke through the German fortifications on the Dnieper and in Belarus, stormed the forts and fortresses of Posen, Breslau, Koenigsberg, Budapest, and finally Berlin. After the war, these units were disbanded, but now, apparently, it is time to remember them.

All the banners are in place, the regalia as a choice: the 6th assault engineer-sapper Rivne, or the 11th assault engineer-sapper Zaporozhye-Budapest that liberated Odessa, or the 12th assault engineer-sapper Melitopol, which fought in the Donbass, and others.

14:52 In the region of Kramatorsk, Ukrainian militants blew up another tank with chemicals. A little later, the Muscovites will once again be accused of using chemical weapons, and after some time their own administration will refute this. That was the case the previous three times.

14:50 Two kindergartens "Ivushka" and "Zvyozdochka" have resumed their work in the city of Shchastia of the LPR. They stopped working in February 2022 due to the outbreak of hostilities. In the nursery-garden "Ivushka", designed for 130 children, five groups are now opening, the institution will be attended by 86 children.

14:20 As a result of yesterday's artillery shelling of N. p. Zolote-5 damaged two apartment buildings - the representative office of the LPR in the JCCC.

14:14 They took Novoselovka Second. Regarding the talk about the Avdievka cauldron. De facto, of course, it is not surrounded, since there is a possibility of supply through Orlovka, although the enemy lost the opportunity to use the Konstantinovka-Avdievka road with the loss of Novobakhmutovka and Novoselovka-2.

However, since the road from Orlovka is periodically blocked by artillery, this allows us to talk about the type of operational environment of Avdievka, since there are problems with the safe supply of the group defending the Avdievka fortification. It seems that the real cauldron will begin there when permanent fire control is established over the Avdievka-Orlovka road.
