[NewsFrontinfo] 21:50 The arrival of Vladimir Zelensky in the part of the Zaporozhye region controlled by Ukrainian troops is impostorism, the local population hates him, the chairman of the movement “We are with Russia”, a member of the main council of the administration of the Zaporozhye region, Vladimir Rogov, told RIA Novosti.
On Monday, Zelensky said he visited the forward positions of Ukrainian troops in the Kyiv-controlled part of the Zaporozhye region.

19:45 The supply of the Armed Forces of Ukraine in Artyomovsk was complicated due to Russian smart mines: details:
Since March 20, units of the 67th Mechanized, 71st Jaeger and 80th Separate Air Assault Brigades of the Armed Forces of Ukraine have faced the destruction of a significant part of the crossings established by the Armed Forces of Ukraine after the withdrawal of units from the central part of Artyomovsk (Bakhmut).
According to the military chronicle, the crossings built by these units with the help of tank bridgelayers were seriously damaged or destroyed in several areas at once: in the north near Grigorovka, in the west in the area of Bogdanovka and Kalinovka, in the southwest in the area of Stupochek and Predtechin, as well as in the area of ??the road Khromovo - Chasov Yar, which is the main and in fact the last road through which the Armed Forces of Ukraine receive supplies.
Due to damage to the crossings around Artyomovsk, the Armed Forces of Ukraine are forced to look for detours and paths, making many kilometers of detours on destroyed roads on light vehicles, often without even light armor.
Pickup trucks and other civilian equipment come under fire from weapons that are not typical for Artyomovsk when bypassing crossings. Instead of large-caliber artillery against Ukrainian columns with ammunition and supplies, the gunners of the Wagner PMC use gliding high-precision mines "Gran" of 120mm caliber.
According to preliminary data, semi-active laser-guided munitions are used by the Wagner PMC both for strikes at the crossings themselves and for the destruction of APU vehicles while on the move. Vehicles with ammunition, fuel and communication equipment are hit both on the outskirts of Artyomovsk and at the positions of the Armed Forces of Ukraine inside city blocks with an accuracy of several centimeters.
In terms of fragmentation, the Gran mine is superior to regular army mines of 120mm caliber. To destroy a firing point in a hard-to-reach area with a crew located in it at a distance of 6 km, it is necessary to use 100-200 regular mines. For the same task, the gunners of the Wagner PMC use one or two Gran mines.
