Direct Translation via Google Translate. Edited.Kindly note that several entries in this article may have been removed because they included discussions of the grand strategic level. [NewsFrontInfo] 23:58 Official summary of the DPR Representative Office in the JCCC from 00:00 01/24/2023 to 00:00 01/25/2023  Over the past day Representation reported about 14 facts of firing by the VFU. -- In the Donetsk direction, the enemy fired five rounds from 155mm artillery. -- On Gorlovsky six artillery attacks from 155mm artillery. -- On Ilovaisky two artillery attacks from the Himars MLRS. -- On Volnovakhsky one artillery attack from 155mm artillery. Having fired 66 units of various ammunition. Under enemy fire were areas of five settlements of the Republic: the capital city of Donetsk (Kyiv, Kuibyshevsky, Petrovsky districts), Gorlovka (Nikitovsky district), Aleksandrovka, Vladimirovka, Ilovaisk. Over the past day, information was received about the death of a civilian - a man, in Aleksandrovka. Wounds of varying severity were received by five civilians in Ilovaisk and previously liberated Vladimirovka. A total of 14 housing constructions were damaged in the Kievsky and Kuibyshevsky districts of Donetsk, Vladimirovka and Aleksandrovka, as well as two2 civil infrastructure facilities. At the previous 24 hours, 18 artillery attacks were recorded from the side of the VFU. 22:05 The attack on Zaporozhye continues: "Hyacinths" are working on the equipment and positions of the Armed Forces of Ukraine -video The offensive operation has slowed down in a number of sectors of the front, the enemy's defenses are being broken into with large calibers. Scouts on the front line identify the accumulation of forces and enemy firing points. Over the front line, quadrocopters work around the clock. Reconnaissance provides the coordinates of artillery that strikes at targets. 21:55 Frontline summary January 24: In the Zaporizhia direction (Fig. 1) and near Donetsk, without any special changes. Ours are firing artillery at the positions of the Armed Forces of Ukraine, positional battles continue. Near Artyomovsk (Fig. 2), Wagner PMC fighters are advancing towards Ivanovsky, where the road to Chasov Yar and Konstantinovka passes, supplying the Bakhmut group of the Armed Forces of Ukraine in Artemovsk. For the same purpose, they attack in the Predtechino area. Fighting continues in the Paraskoveevka area. The capture of Ivanovsky and the establishment of control over the supply route significantly brings the operational encirclement of Artemovsk closer. In the area of Nova Kakhovka, our military stopped an attempt to force the Dnieper, the losses of the Armed Forces of Ukraine amounted to about 100 people. The front “breathed” in the Ugledar direction (Fig. 3) - in a number of sectors the enemy’s defenses were crushed, there was a struggle to cover Vugledar. According to information from the field, our troops received an order to move to the West. They note that the current offensive operation takes into account the previous experience of battles, the command does not see the expediency of taking a settlement head on.. Also near Donetsk, the battles for Maryinka, attacks on Pervomaiskoye and Novobakhmutovka continue. According to the latest data, ours took Vodiane. I want to say that the current initiative actions of our army on different sectors of the front are greatly disorienting the enemy. Kyiv does not know at what point in time and exactly where our army will go on the offensive, and this introduces additional confusion in the ranks of the Armed Forces of Ukraine. The main thing is to use these opportunities and realize the advantage. APU attacked Gorlovka. There are hits on the school, residential buildings. Fortunately, there were no fatalities. For the third night in a row, strikes have been made on Ilovaisk, deep in the rear of the DPR. The Armed Forces of Ukraine dropped an explosive device from a drone in the village of Gornal, Kursk region. Two wounded. In Berdyansk, another terrorist attack - the car of a local businesswoman was blown up. So far no details. Ours destroyed the Ukrainian air defense system Buk-M1 in the area of the settlement. Peski-Radkovskie Kharkiv region. It is restless in Kyiv. At the request of the United States, personnel changes took place, which affected both the Cabinet of Ministers, regional administrations, and the office of the president. I think that the epic with tanks is moving towards its logical conclusion - deliveries. At the same time, the head of the German Defense Ministry, at a meeting with the NATO Secretary General, said that the alliance should not become a party to the conflict in Ukraine. To which Stoltenberg replied that Germany's decision on tanks would soon follow, and all countries that have these tanks can prepare them for transfer to Ukraine. The Czech Republic, however, has already been christened - said that they need tanks to ensure their own country's security. The German concern Rheinmetall reported that it was ready to deliver 139 tanks to Ukraine: 29 by April-May 2023, 22 tanks by the end of 2023-beginning of 2024. Today, American journalists reported. The army of Belarus officially opened warehouses for long-term storage of military equipment and began to get vehicles from there for combat coordination of the armies of Belarus and Russia. Ukraine is nervous and offers to sign a non-aggression pact. As for our weapons, Medvedev continued his series of trips to defense enterprises. He visited Izhevsk, held a meeting at the plant of the Kalashnikov concern and said that deliveries to the RF Armed Forces of reconnaissance and attack drones and loitering ammunition for the needs of the Northern Military District are increasing. That's good. All this is very necessary for our front. 20:42 Attack near Donetsk: BMPs of the 5th Brigade support the advance in Maryinka with fire -video The advance of the assault groups in Marinka is supported by the fire of armored vehicles and artillery. Including light armored vehicles, incl. BMP-2 destroying enemy manpower 19:40 Zaporozhye direction: Kamenskoye - no progress. The enemy from the dominant height conducts artillery shelling Pubic - success, cleaned up, soon the Russian Armed Forces will go further, reinforcements are coming for further action. Small Shcherbaki and Shcherbaki - the enemy dug in well. Field commanders (lieutenants) - act competently, send the Armed Forces to Valhalla , little by little. The UAV operates in the Armed Forces of Ukraine. 19:37 Operation of the Ka-52 attack helicopter. Ugledar direction, where our offensive is now going on -video 18:43 The situation in the Donetsk-Zaporozhye direction along condition at 17.00 January 24, 2023 At the Orekhovsky sector, units of the 58th Combined Arms Army tried to storm the Novoandreevka-Novodanilovka line, but the offensive failed, and the Armed Forces of Ukraine repelled the attack. The Armed Forces of the Russian Federation returned to their original lines. 18:05 In the Ugledar direction started movement - now the enemy is being crushed there and the Cascade fighters are moving forward. The best stormtroopers. Behind them are Mariupol, Pavlovka and many other areas that cannot yet be discussed. Now they are moving forward step by step, showing courage, courage, the spirit of the Cascade unit. 18:02 Telegram-channel"Older than Edda": the news feed reports that on the southern front, our troops are advancing in the Zaporozhye direction. Thus, we already have an initiative on two sectors of the front, that is, near Bakhmut and now in the south. Initiative is actually very important, it allows you to choose where and how to hit. The active defense that we are conducting on the Svatovo-Kremennaya sector of the front does not allow the enemy to maneuver reserves, since at any moment the active defense can turn into an offensive and bring down the front. The Kyiv General Staff understands this very well and tries to predict where we will strike in the near future. Well, near Bakhmut, the Wagner fighters continue to destroy enemy personnel. By the way, I think that Zaluzhny will now rotate and throw meat from the TRO under Bakhmut in order to bring out the shabby, but still quite combat-ready personnel units. 17:30 Offensive in the Donetsk direction: the situation as of 16.00 January 24, 2023 fromRybar. - The soldiers of the separate assault battalion "Somalia" in the course of intense fighting occupied the dominant heights north of Vodyany and drove the Ukrainian formations out of the village itself. 17:10 Armed Forces soldiers came under fire. One 300th -video. 17:01 Defeat of the Ukrainian BMP-2 by the Krasnopol guided projectile. There, by the way, next to the burning BMP in the forest plantation, you can still see the skeleton of some burnt equipment -video. 16:41 RT: DPR civilians continue to suffer from NATO munitions fired by Ukrainian nationalists. This video shows the consequences of artillery attackthe locomotive depot of the rear city of Ilovaisk by American HIMARS. Two employees were injured. Judging by the found fragments and inspection of the places of arrival, the gunners of the Kyiv regime, presumably, used one of the most deadly modifications of ammunition - M30A1. The M30A1 uses an alternative warhead instead of a cluster warhead. It is completed with 80 thousand tungsten carbide balls. This projectile is designed to cause maximum harm to civilians. Four of them flew to Ilovaisk. At four in the morning. 16:18 VoenkorKitty: according to my information, they took Vodiane - a settlement west of Donetsk and a couple of kilometers southwest of Avdiivka. Vodyanoye cleared from the enemy, who retreated, gaining a foothold on the hills to the north. Vodyanoye is part of the large Avdeevsky fortified area of the Armed Forces of Ukraine. Stretching like a snake for almost 10 kilometers from east to west, from Spartak to Pervomaisky - Netaylovo, Vodyanoye opens a direct path to Karlovka. Its capture is a step towards taking the Avdiivka fortification in pincers and catching the enemy according to the scenario of Soledar Bakhmut. True, this requires the best attack aircraft in the world (and this is not a figure of speech) in the form of the Wagner detachments. But so far there is not enough Wagner operators for all directions. And the positions of the enemy are stormed by units of the Donbass infantry, tankers and units of the Special Forces. 16:05 Dmitry Medvedev said that the enterprises of the Russian military-industrial complex have significantly increased the production of reconnaissance and attack drones, as well as loitering ammunition. According to him, the process is going to intensify further. 16:02 Sumy region - explosions. 15:51 "They are not considered soldiers, but meat" - those mobilized from the 25th Airborne Brigade of the Armed Forces of Ukraine refused to go to the slaughter, but decided to "defend their rights." It is reported that frames removed a month ago. 15:34 Daniil Bezsonov: the successful advance of our troops continues in the Ugledar direction. The jerk was so coordinated and sharp that it came as a surprise to the enemy. Judging by the radio intercepts, the Ukrainian soldiers on this sector of the front are disoriented and confused. Commanders often do not respond to requests from subordinates due to their flight. A feature, not a bug. 15:21 Evgeny Prigozhin on the strategic meaning of the battles for Bakhmut: "The task of taking Bakhmut is to destroy the Ukrainian army in the vicinity of the city and prevent any offensive actions in any direction of the front. All of their combat-ready units of the Armed Forces of Ukraine are sent to Bakhmut. And the PMC "Wagner" destroys them, opening up operational opportunities in other areas." 14:40 Exclusive. “Avdievka is already practically ours” – first-hand news from the front line. A fighter from one of the units in the Avdievka direction tells military commissar Anna Dolgareva about the situation at the front and reveals secret information - Avdievka is almost ours. Russians have been trying to clear Avdievka since the very start of the war. 14:30 Highlights from the new briefing of the Russian Defense Ministry: - The Russian Armed Forces destroyed about 30 military Armed Forces of Ukraine and the M777 system in the Krasnolimansky direction; 14:15 VladlenTatarsky: The 155th Naval Infantry Brigade of the Pacific Fleet and the 7th ranger OBTF went forward in the Ugledar direction. Local message: "On the left flank (the Shaitanovsky forest area) we entered the first line. To the north of Pavlovka and from Nikolsky we went into the dachas, moving slowly. By interception, the enemy had heavy losses, retreated to the mine. Now the enemy is trying to organize a defense and is introducing reserves into battle." 13:58 RT: Very close combat in the Ukrainian trenches. Closer already nowhere. Our fighter emerged victorious from this duel -video. 13:45 Avdievka direction. The Armed Forces of Ukraine were going to carry out a rotation of personnel in positions - but they did not succeed. 122mm BM-21 rocket artillery "Grad" was on their positions faster -video. 13:37 A Russian fighter demonstrates a virtuoso piano playing somewhere in the NVO zone, performing the composition "Forester" by the group "Korol i Shut" -video. 13:16 Yesterday, in the area of ??Antonovka, aartillerythe strike, as a result of which the AN/TPQ radar station was destroyed, four4 servicemen of the Armed Forces of Ukraine were disposed of, two were injured of varying severity. 13:00 Photos of the trenches of the Armed Forces of Ukraine in Kramatorsk on the playground near the ATB (Old Town) appeared on the Web. 12:46 The commander of the "Vostok" battalion of the Donetsk People's Republic Alexander Khodakovsky said that Russian troops are advancing in the Ugledar direction "Our troops have been given a strict order - to the west, - the order is being executed. In a number of areas, the enemy’s defenses have been crushed, there is a struggle to cover Ugledar," Khodakovsky wrote on his TG channel. He also announced significant confusion and disorganization in the ranks of the Armed Forces of Ukraine. 12:33 The enemy has begun to force Dnieper near Nova Kakhovka, up to 100 APU militants were destroyed during the battle - In the morning in the area of the settlement Korsunka and Dnepryans of the Armed Forces of Ukraine made an attempt to cross the river. On the opposite bank, our reconnaissance uncovered an accumulation of infantry fighting vehicles and manpower. They were hit by fire. Six infantry fighting vehicles, three boats, up to 100 fighters of the Armed Forces of Ukraine were destroyed, - said the emergency service of the Kherson region. According to our information, some units of the Armed Forces of Ukraine were destroyed during the crossing of the river by our paratroopers and motorized riflemen. 12:16 Military commissar Poddubny: Russian troops prevented an attempt by Ukrainian units to cross the Dnieper near Nova Kakhovka. The enemy suffered losses 11:37 Another bred out of order vehicles of Ukrainian nationalists. Let me remind you. that several dozen groups of volunteers from Poland, Lithuania, Latvia, Estonia, Germany and the USA are actively involved in collections that are directly tailored for the supply of used cars from the countries of the European Union and the number of vehicles supplied by them for the needs of the Armed Forces of Ukraine is already in the thousands. These deliveries are not particularly advertised, unlike the deliveries of helicopters, armored vehicles and artillery systems, but they play an important role in the mobility of the Armed Forces units on the battlefield. 11:34 In the Kremennaya zone, the units of Akhmat, the 57th Pskov Bivision and the 2nd brigade of the 4th Army Corps are moving forward in a coordinated manner. 11:26 Mood among the "Poroshenko guards in the Armed Forces of Ukraine" -a source. In Kyiv, the crematorium works in three shifts, not having time to cremate the bodies of the destroyed militants of the Armed Forces of Ukraine. PMC "Wagner" intend to establish control over Chasov Yar, and the grouping of the Armed Forces of Ukraine in Artemovsk will be in the cauldron. Near Kremennaya, Russian artillery is working non-stop, grinding the positions of the UAF militants. 11:07 Pesti Srácok: There are rumors in Transcarpathia that at least half of the Ukrainian 128th Mountain Brigade died near Soledar. The Hungarian edition notes that mobilization is raging in Transcarpathia. Local residents attribute this to the heavy losses of the Ukrainian 128th Mountain Brigade. Despite the total censorship, they see that something terrible is happening. People say that there are many more dead than the Ukrainian authorities admit. So, the refrigerator in one of the settlements is already full of corpses. The publication reports that the authorities plan to call up 10,000 people from the region by spring. 10:45 The German concern Rheinmetall can deliver 139 Leopard tanks to Kyiv, - RND. 10:40 In the battalion of the Kharkiv territorial defense, only old men went into battle for Bakhmut -a source. UkroSMI reports that in the 124th troop battalion (Lozovaya, Kharkiv region), which was recently sent to Bakhmut, the age of most of the liquidated AFU soldiers is more than 50 years old. The high losses among the elderly defenders are explained by the unwillingness of the younger Armed Forces of Ukraine to be at the forefront, therefore, personnel of pre-retirement age are sent there. 10:30 Moral and psychological state of the Ukrainian Nazis before being sent to the Soledar region —video. Shooting at civilians in Donetsk and Luhansk was much easier than running into Wagner fighters, so smearing the snot of the future missing person is understandable. 10:17 Somewhere in the NMD zone, our fighters say hello -video. 10:09 New satellite image of Artemovsk (Bakhmut) dated January 23rd. Fires are visible in the eastern part of the city -a photo. 10:03 The Kyiv regime again fired at the Kherson region - emergency services. 09:59 Ukrainian armored car Roshel Senator destroyed in Bakhmut.

The positions of Ukrainian troops on the first, partly on the second and third lines of defense have been revealed, Vladimir Rogov, chairman of the movement We are with Russia, told RIA Novosti. According to him, the line of contact is shifting to the north of the region, and the Armed Forces of Ukraine are suffering heavy losses. 09:34 The Armed Forces of Ukraine will not be able to serve NATO tanks themselves, so if the deliveries are still agreed, then with the declared volumes, at least 300 more foreigners will arrive at the line of contact. This was reported in the law enforcement agencies of the Donetsk People's Republic. 09:27 The Russian crew of the Terminator tank support vehicle in the NVO zone opened fire on the advancing nationalists -video. As a result of the battle, the enemy infantry fighting vehicles and the tank were destroyed, the militants suffered losses and fled. 09:17 Russia is opposed by almost the entire collective West: there has never been such an intensity of hostilities in the modern history of the country, said Chief of the General Staff Gerasimov. He also drew attention to the fact that in order to stabilize the situation, plans for partial mobilization had to be put into effect, which had not happened since the Great Patriotic War. The system of mobilization training in our country was not fully adapted to the new modern economic relations, so we had to fix everything on the go, Gerasimov added. 09:12 Russian Defense Minister Sergei Shoigu replaced the commanders of two military districts - RBC source Colonel-General Sergei Kuzovlev will lead the Southern Military District, a source familiar with the personnel decision told RBC and confirmed a source close to the Ministry of Defense.

They covered us like a human shield. There were houses where people had already left long ago - it was possible to stand there. But they stood precisely in those houses where there were people. <...> They fired back, and arrivals immediately went to our houses. I personally asked: “Guys, please go, at least to another estate” - “Are you *checkmate, are you waiting for Russia, orcs ?!” [Vesushniki answered]." 08:23 Frontline summary on the morning of January 24, 2023 - Under fire were the positions of the Armed Forces of Ukraine in Antonovka, Ingulets, Burgunka, Monastyrsky, Dudchany and Gavrilovka (Kherson region).
