[NewsFrontInfo] 21:52 In the area of responsibility of 3 MRD 20 OA today and yesterday continued tough fights. The nature of the terrain suggests that in order to consolidate success, it is necessary to master several heights and the Zhuravka beam (in fact, there are two of these beams, Bolshaya and Malaya, long wooded ravines in the region of Makeevka, Ploschanka and Chervonopopovka).

Assault detachments of the 3rd Motor Rifle Division, with the support of artillery and tanks, advanced along a large front, knocked out the enemy from several defensive positions. The enemy quickly came to his senses and concentrated the fire of cannon and rocket artillery on our attacking formations. The density of the battle was such that the Ukrainian lost the commander of the company stronghold (the captain of the Armed Forces of Ukraine was killed in a shooting battle).

The infantry of the 3rd Motor Rifle Division entrenched itself in the recaptured positions, and St. Luke began to punish the wicked Vushniks with fire and steel from heaven. Most of the enemy was knocked out of the small beam of Zhuravka, the Belgorod and Voronezh infantry stormed Bolshaya Zhuravka.

20:43 Village Sakko and Vancetti near Artemovsk came under the control of the detachments of PMC "Wagner"

20:25 Artemovsk direction. Destroyed American armored personnel carrier M113. We are waiting for the Bradleys and the Strikers.

19:53 Circumstance in the Avdeevsky direction.

"The enemy is worthy, but he does not pull us."

A fighter with the call sign "Kuzya" - a machine gunner of the assault detachment "BORZ" - has been fighting since 2014, when he was only 16 years old.

“We are working on the enemy, the enemy is working on us. We are slowly moving forward. We're digging and moving on."

17:28 Kirovsky district of Donetsk under enemy fire. From n.p. Memrik fired eight 155mm NATO projectiles at civilians.

17:01 Shops of a strategically important enterprise were destroyed in the Shostka region of the Sumy region - the Ministry of Defense of the Russian Federation

The workshops of this enterprise produced artillery rounds for the Armed Forces of Ukraine.

In addition, the following was announced in the daily briefing of the military department:

- In the Kupyansky direction in the areas of Gryanikovka, Timkovka, Kharkiv region and Novoselovsky LPR, the artillery of the Zapad group of forces inflicted fire damage on the manpower and equipment of the units of the 14th and 92nd mechanized brigades of the Armed Forces of Ukraine;

- In the Krasnolimansky direction in the areas of Stelmahovka, Chervona Dibrova, Kuzmino of the LPR and Torsk DPR, army aviation strikes and artillery fire from the "Center" group of troops defeated the concentrations of manpower of the 80th and 95th airborne assault rifles of the Armed Forces of Ukraine;

- In the Donetsk direction, during the offensive operations, the units of the "Southern" group of troops took more advantageous lines and positions. In the areas of Thin, Nelepovka and the Northern DPR, the enemy was hit by fire. Also in this direction, in the Dobrovolye region of the DPR, an ammunition depot of the 55th artillery brigade of the Armed Forces of Ukraine was destroyed.

- In the Yuzhno-Donetsk and Zaporozhye directions in the areas of Ugledar, Novoselka and Mirny DPR, army aviation strikes, artillery fire and units of the Vostok group of forces inflicted fire damage on the manpower and equipment of the 72nd Mechanized Brigade, the 35th marine corps brigade, as well as 108th and 124th brigades of the territorial defense of the Armed Forces of Ukraine.

16:57 Ukrainian troops fired eight rounds at the Kuibyshevsky and Kirovsky districts of Donetsk, reported representation of the Donetsk People's Republic in the Joint Center for Control and Coordination of Issues Related to War Crimes of Ukraine (JCCC).

“Fire was recorded from the VFU (armed formations Ukraine) in the direction:

16.40 (coincides with Moscow time - ed.) - the settlement of Galitsinovka - the city of Donetsk (Kuibyshevsky and Kirovsky districts): eight rounds with a caliber of 152 mm were fired, ”the ministry said in a message published on its telegram channel.

16:48 Ukrainians continue artillery attack the city. Over the past half hour, the Kirov and Kuibyshev regions have been under fire. Four rounds of 155mm caliber and eight rounds of 152mm caliber were fired.

16:26 Kind from the air to Blagodatnoye PMC “Wagner” liberated last week (southwest of Soledar).

15:07 Russian troops near Artemovsk (Bakhmut) destroyed commander of the combat sniper group of the third assault brigade of the Armed Forces of Ukraine (the former Nazi regiment "Azov", which is banned in the Russian Federation as a terrorist organization), senior lieutenant Igor Lindyuk, call sign "Huntsman".

14:20 The artillery attack of the Kirovsky district of Donetsk began from the village. Zoryanoe settlement fired three rounds with a caliber of 155mm.

13:13 In general, for 144th Motorized Rfle Division , the last seven days have become very heavy. Every day, Ukrainians, attacking the attack (every day, for five days, with forces up to a battalion) hoped to break the Bryansk and Smolensk infantry, knock it out of the fighters and enter Kremennaya from the west.

All enemy attacks were stopped and yesterday's civilians did it, that is, ordinary mobilized ones. Khokhol tried to repeat the tactics that he carried out at the time near Balakleya.

A powerful attack by mobile units in pickup trucks and Humvees, supported by tanks and infantry fighting vehicles. This tactic can achieve serious results only in one case, if the enemy is afraid and runs.

If, like warriors, he stands still and fights, then it will bring you nothing but losses.

It was this situation that occurred in the defense zone of the 144th Guards Motorized Rifle Division. Khokhol in some cases approached the distance of a pistol shot, which is very rare for modern warfare. The Smolyans and Bryantsy withstood all the blows, in turn destroying the routes for the supply of ammunition and the rotation of the Ukrainian with artillery.

Today, just like yesterday, our guards are moving forward, unwinding the Ukrainian guards, killing his infantry, destroying supply routes. It is clear that now all eyes are riveted on Bakhmut, where the Wagner operators fighters are on the offensive, trying to encircle Bakhmut, but it is worth remembering that at the same time in the forests, fields and forest belts to the west of Kremennaya, yesterday's mobilized are fighting fiercely with the enemy and lead successfully.

12:06 WarGonzo: the truth about the landing near Kakhovka.

The high-profile and “permissible” operation of the Armed Forces of Ukraine to land troops in the Kherson direction on the morning of January 24, as often happens, turned out to be a scam.

Even on the way, specialists from the Main Intelligence Directorate of Ukraine received a charge from all types of weapons and equipment that were available to the paratroopers on duty, after which they heroically retreated, leaving the least successful brothers to drown in the icy winter water, but at the same time not forgetting to shoot videos for no less heroic videos in the Internet.

11:56 Vladlen Tatarsky: clarification of situation near Bakhmut.

Two roads to Chasov Yar under Wagner fire control. Near Ivanovsky under dense fire, in the Khromovo area - periodically arrives. Yesterday the film crew of the roosters couldn't drive over it.

The route to Kramatorsk is still free, so there is no encirclement, but there has been a clear crisis in the defense of Bakhmut

11:37 A prisoner from Zelensky's presidential regiment -video interrogation.

10:18 On the operational lines of the DPR JCCC for January 31, received additional information on civilian casualties in the cities of the Republic:

n.p. Nikolskoye (included in the area of responsibility of the administration of the Starobeshevsky district):

- a woman born in 1938 died on the territory of the temple.

Information about the consequences of artillery attack continues to arrive.

10:16 Artemovsk in the morning.

There is no operational encirclement of the Artemovskaya group yet.

It is possible either in the case of the capture of Krasnoe, or in the case of mopping up Krasnaya Gora and Paraskovievka with an advance to the north of the city. Either one or the other option will lead to the establishment of fire control over the second road from Chasy Yar to Artemovsk.

So far, under the fire of our artillery and MLRS there is a road passing near Krasnoy, and movement along it is already associated with a significant risk. The second road can still be used to supply the Artemovsk group.

In the city itself, our assault groups are advancing in the city in the south, southeast and northeast. For the time being, the enemy is relying on a gradual withdrawal in the city in order to delay his surrender as much as possible.

But in the event of cutting the main road to Artemovsk, the processes of withdrawal of the Armed Forces of Ukraine from Artemovsk will obviously accelerate, as happened in Soledar, after the attack aircraft of the PMC "Wagner" broke through to the main supply road of the Soledar grouping, which caused an imminent collapse of the enemy's defense.

08:10 Frontline summary on the morning of 02/01/2023

In the Kherson direction, the opposing sides conducted mutual artillery artillery attack. The RF Armed Forces attacked Veletinsky, Pervomaisky, Antonovka, Tokarevka, Ivanovka and Odradokamenka. Opposite the last of the named settlements, the Armed Forces of Ukraine responded with a blow to Korsunka on the left bank of the Dnieper.

But the rest of the targets of the Ukrainian artillery deserve special attention. Naked Pier, Heroskoye and Pokrovka were under fire. The first of these settlements is an important logistics center on the left bank of the Dnieper. And the other two are already key strongholds of Russian troops on the Kinburn Spit, on which a Ukrainian landing is quite likely. Both sea and air.

And from there, it is possible for Ukrainian troops to advance on the left bank of the Dnieper without the need to force it towards the already named Hola Pristan. There is a road in this direction. (Fig. 1)

On the Donetsk front, oncoming battles continue in the city of Maryinka. Artillery hits the positions of the Armed Forces of Ukraine in the village. Russian troops attacked again in the direction of Pervomaisky and Vodyanoy with the support of artillery.

Under fire are the fortified areas of the Armed Forces of Ukraine in Krasnohorivka and Avdievka. It also flew to New York. Ukrainian Armed Forces shelled Donetsk and Gorlovka. (Fig. 2)

To the south-west of Bakhmut, PMC "Wagner" continues its offensive on Ivanovskoye. Wagner still managed to advance to the section of the H-32 highway, connecting the besieged city with Konstantinovka. They also continue assault operations on the eastern outskirts of Bakhmut. There is also some progress here.

The fortified area of the Armed Forces of Ukraine in Krasnaya Gora was under massive artillery fire. On the ground, PMC "Wagner" attacks from the south in the direction of Paraskovievka, and from the north from Blagodatny. To the north of Soledar, the village of Sakko and Vanzetti were occupied. Thus, they established control over the section of the road and the highway leading to Seversk. A little to the east, they attack Rozdolovka and Vesyoloye in parallel. (Fig. 3)
