13:30 Summary for March 5, 2023
The initiative remains in the hands of the Russian Armed Forces, while in a number of areas the enemy is attempting counterattacks, in a number of sectors of the front successfully holding back our offensive.
The enemy skillfully uses our shortcomings in organization, planning and supply, as well as the weak organization of anti-sabotage and air defense due to the lack of forces and means allocated for this: the length of the front line does not correspond to the forces allocated to cover the state border and create a widespread echeloned air defense.
In the Kupyansk direction, the Russian Armed Forces continue their offensive towards the city. At the end of the week, the "gray zone" in some areas ceased to exist, artillery strikes are delivered to the rear of the enemy grouping. However, in the north of the direction, the enemy tried to conduct counterattacks.
The section of the front to the west of the Svatovo-Kremennaya line is characterized by relatively positional battles, but the Russian Armed Forces successfully capture enemy strongholds.
The situation is developing most dynamically in the Artemovsky (Bakhmut) direction. PMC "Wagner" take pincers to the city, cut off the last supply and evacuation routes of the Armed Forces of Ukraine.
From the eastern side of the city, attack aircraft are rushing towards the center of Artemovsk, there is a significant advance from the south side. The enemy began to develop theses in the information field about the further actions of the Armed Forces of Ukraine after Bakhmut, which indicates the preparation of public opinion in Ukraine for the surrender of the city.
In the Avdievka direction, our units are constantly engaging the enemy with fire. The Russian Armed Forces began to use the most powerful new UPAB-1500B glide bombs weighing 1500 kg in the direction.
From Ugledar they report on the work of large calibers of our cannon and rocket artillery, the use of aviation. Despite the involvement of serious forces, the absence of shell hunger in the direction, so far it has not been possible to achieve success in the direction.
The Zaporozhye and Kherson sectors of the front were characterized by the work of the DRG and artillery duels. In the Kherson sector, the enemy does not stop the delivery of the DRG to the islands in the floodplain of the river. Dnepr, conducts a census of boats and boats from the population.
It is possible that these actions are designed to mislead the Russian Armed Forces regarding the future plans of the Armed Forces of Ukraine and distract from the most likely direction of the offensive planned by the enemy, among the priority targets of which Melitopol is increasingly named.
The enemy managed to fully realize the plan of holding a demonstrative action in the Bryansk direction, our troops and agencies were unable to identify and forestall the threat in time. In terms of information, the work of our side did not bring results either at the time of the attack or within a few days after it.
The Armed Forces of Ukraine continue the total mobilization of the population, the period of training of enemy soldiers in Britain is increasing.
Thus, when PMC "Wagner" Artemovsk (Bakhmut) is captured, significant advances of the Russian Army at the front are most likely to be stopped. The involvement of significant forces in the Ugledar direction showed the overall low readiness of the Russian Armed Forces for offensive operations, with the exception of individual units.
At the same time, the enemy as a whole suffers much greater losses than our forces, our military industry is switching to a round-the-clock production of weapons and military equipment, and a legislative framework is being prepared for the operation of the economy under martial law. However, there are no political prerequisites for this yet.
