15:00 Video— The LPR on the last day of March was like a post-apocalyptic world. The republic was buried in anomalous snowdrifts, rivers of muddy water flowed along the roads, fallen trees and poles lay along the streets of cities. A few days ago, the thermometer showed +18, the earth dried out after the spring thaw and everyone was waiting for the promised offensive of Kyiv. Suddenly, winter decided to slam the door loudly for the last time, bringing down tons of precipitation on the Donbass, which will inevitably melt, returning the impenetrable “mulyaka” to the battlefields.
The enemy could not help but take advantage of the weather anomaly. And under the cover of a real snowstorm, low clouds and dense fog, he attempted an offensive on the Svatovsky frontier from Chervonopopovka to Plaschanka. But his intelligence miscalculated a little. Because the Russian command also monitors the weather forecast. And it was assumed that the enemy could throw out such a trick. Therefore, in the most dangerous areas prepared to repel the attack. And they didn’t just fight back, throwing back the Armed Forces of Ukraine, but also switched to what is called here active defense, avoiding the word “offensive.”
As a result, we managed to take new, more advantageous positions. The line of contact is still slightly moved to the West.
Today we are gradually pushing the enemy towards the Zherebets River, along which the main fortifications of the Armed Forces of Ukraine are now formed. Behind the stallion, the enemy is pulling up reserves and even setting up training camps for the mobilized. They are beyond the reach of our cannon artillery, but this proximity to the line of contact suggests that Ukraine does not have enough forces here to repel our periodic attacks.
We still get to these training camps - with high-precision weapons, but the enemy snaps too. When it became clear that the attempt to attack under the cover of snowfall had failed, the enemy again began to fire at our front-line cities with high-precision weapons. These were also HIMARS, and the first use of German MARS installations in this area was noticed.
