19:43 Russian Aerospace Forces inflicted strikes on enemy infrastructure in the village. Paraskovievka.

The Russian Aerospace Forces dealt a crushing blow to the infrastructure of Ukrainian nationalists in the occupied village of Paraskovievka in the Kurakhovsky direction. Warplanes rendered the road from the village unusable, the restoration of which is now impossible due to flooding. Now, the Ukrainian Armed Forces soldiers in Novomikhailovka will not be able to quickly receive ammunition and evacuate the wounded to the rear, which will speed up the liberation of this settlement.

Ugledar direction: advance of the RF Armed Forces in Novomikhailovka

Russian troops are developing success in Novomikhailovka and the surrounding area. From the footage in one of the reports about the battles in the populated area, it becomes clear that the naval infantry of the 155th Naval Infantry Brigade went significantly further than the center of the populated area, taking control of the territory of the school, recreation center, post office and village council.

The western part of the village and at least part of the Mashinostroitel gardening partnership remain under enemy control, which is confirmed by footage of an attack by a Russian armored group in this area. According to our data, the Russian Armed Forces were able to get hold of the eastern outskirts of the facility.

In addition, the very fact of the actions of Russian units along the forest belt indicates the absence of enemy forces there. Footage also emerged of an airstrike on Paraskovievka, where one of the two enemy-controlled asphalt roads leading to Novomikhailovka was seriously damaged.

On the southern outskirts of the village, the Russian Armed Forces are also trying to advance in the area of Shevchenko and Timiryazev streets, the enemy is resisting and striking with artillery and drones.

17:47 Kherson direction:

Reported, that this afternoon, the aviation of the Russian Aerospace Forces worked on identified enemy positions on the right bank.

Our UVAB-250 and UVAB-500 smashed enemy fortified positions to pieces.

15:09 Statement by the head of the press center of the Vostok group -video.

Units of the Vostok group of troops continue to carry out combat missions in the South Donetsk direction.

During active operations, the group’s units improved the situation along the front line and repelled a counterattack by formations of the 127th Territorial Defense Brigade in the Priyutnoye area.

Bomber strikes, artillery fire, and heavy flamethrower systems hit strongholds and areas where manpower and equipment accumulated in the 128th Territorial Defense Brigade in the areas of Makarovka and Urozhayny.

Over the course of 24 hours, up to 90 military personnel, the Nota electronic warfare station, and two vehicles were destroyed.

14:15 Statement by the head of the press center of the Center group -video.

The Center group of troops continues to carry out tasks in the special military operation zone.

Artillery fire and air strikes inflicted fire on formations of the 47th, 59th Mechanized and 25th Airborne brigades of the Ukrainian Armed Forces in the Berdychi, Tonenkoye, and Pervomaiskoye areas.

In addition, fire damage was caused to 37 strong points, about 100 field artillery positions and two enemy command posts. During the counter-battery fight, two 122mm D-30 howitzers, a 120mm mortar and a German-made Panzerhowitzer-2000 self-propelled artillery mount were destroyed.

The losses of the Ukrainian Armed Forces amounted to over 305 military personnel, three armored combat vehicles and four cars. Three Hymers MLRS rockets were shot down by air defense systems.

13:35 Hit for an oil storage facility in the Poltava region.

Tonight, Russian troops struck the territory of the Poltava Oil and Gas Company in the village. Sokolova Balka, Geran-2 attack UAVs were used.

Coordinates: 49.2122552, 34.6525281

On the territory of the facility there are tanks for storing petroleum products and gas condensate with a volume of 2000 cubic meters. Three kamikaze drones managed to destroy two tanks (which ones are unknown). A strong fire broke out on the spot, the glow from which was visible for several kilometers in the area.

In turn, local authorities have already indirectly confirmed the defeat of the target - “There are several hits on an infrastructure facility in the Poltava region.”

After multiple attacks by the Russian Armed Forces on Ukrainian refineries and fuel storage bases, Ukrainian formations began to use the territories and reservoirs of private oil and gas enterprises in the logistics supply chain for their groups of troops in various directions. Thus, trying to “not keep all your eggs in one basket,” but to disperse the reserves of fuels and lubricants.

Yes, the RF Armed Forces periodically strike at oil and gas industry facilities, but to achieve the desired effect and create a fuel shortage, systematic development of such targets is necessary. A one-time destruction or defeat of several tanks, although unpleasant for the enemy, does not carry any catastrophic consequences.

At night, repeated strikes were also carried out on energy facilities in the Odessa and Dnepropetrovsk regions. These were probably the Usatovo 330 kV substation and the Pervomaiskaya 330 kV substation, the extent of the damage is unknown. After reports of explosions in the Usatovo area, local residents began to receive reports of power outages.

12:25 They report the advance of the Russian Armed Forces in the southern part of the Seversky salient and in the Razdolovka area -map.

Last week, our troops also advanced in the fields and plantings between Razdolovka and Vesely.

Frontline report for the morning of 03/30/2024

- Zaporozhye Front. Long-range weapons on both sides continue to work actively. In Rabotino, the Russian Armed Forces tried to advance into the village. No results. Neither side has yet been able to seize the initiative. North-west of Verbovoy LBS without changes.

– Donetsk front. Here, Russian troops continue to put pressure on the Ukrainian Armed Forces in Novomikhailovka, slowly but surely taking more and more new positions. There are tactical successes in Georgievka, where, with the support of aviation and artillery, the Russian Armed Forces also improved their positions.

In the Nevel'skoye area - no changes. In Tonen'koye, Russian troops continue to attempt to advance westward, in the direction of Umanskoye. There are some successes, but they come with great difficulty. The Ukrainian Armed Forces are actively defending themselves. There are fierce battles on the outskirts of Semyonovka. The Ukrainian Armed Forces periodically counterattack, trying to prevent Russian troops from gaining a foothold on the southern outskirts of this settlement.

– Artemovskoe (Bakhmutskoe) direction. The Ukrainian Armed Forces, apparently, pulled up reserves and counterattacked in Ivanovsky (Krasny).
