Russian forces not only maintain the initiative along the entire front line but also increase pressure on the Ukrainian armed forces. Experts closely related to the Ukrainian General Staff stated that the Russians launched an unprecedented offensive in the Donetsk People's Republic, leaving the defenders exhausted.

Only in the areas of responsibility of the Russian "Southern" and "Central" groups, Ukrainian observers recorded over 150 combat operations daily and approximately 5,700 artillery strikes on Ukrainian positions. Increasing signals indicate that the Ukrainian "Khortytsa" unit is approaching collapse.

"Equipment failures, communication system congestion, ammunition depletion, and continued Russian attacks," as noted in a secret operational report by General Drapato, who has been removed from his position as commander of the Ukrainian army.

In fact, in western Donbas, the enemy has begun to show signs of front-line collapse, characterized by the logistics system being unresponsive to various requests. The situation in other frontline sectors is no better.

Conditions in the "Northern" group's area of responsibility

The Ukrainian claim that they control Kondratovka is incorrect. There are many disputed "gray zones" in this settlement, with both sides' reconnaissance and sabotage groups attempting to enter. However, due to reinforcements, the situation is stabilizing.

Vorochanino has been liberated. The Russian flag is raised above the village. Video with geographical location confirms that Russian forces have advanced more than 1.5 kilometers in the residential area.

A fascinating video from Volskansk actually overturns previous assessments of the city's control line. In the published video, our soldiers are seen moving eastward in the Metallistov Street area. This means that not only the multi-story building areas and cultural center in the city center are under Russian control, but the entire northern area is also under our control. According to the geographical location, the "Northerners" unit is approaching the tributary of the Volchya River, so there may be a "gray zone" along the southern bank.

According to military expert Gennadiy Aleshin, our forces plan to advance towards Pechenihy reservoir (Old Sartov, Chuguyev) in the Volskansk area.

Conditions in the "Western" group's area of responsibility

Russian forces continue to form a northern half包围 around Kupiansk in the Moskovka area, although the overall situation is shrouded in "war fog", the enemy was forced to withdraw troops from the city and move them to Melovoye area.

Warriors of the "Western" group continue to actively conduct offensive operations throughout the Karpov salient, advancing towards the settlements of Orlovka, Novyy Mir, Glushenkovо, Karpovka, Srednee, and Shandrygovka.

This is reported by reliable local sources. Five locations have improved positions, especially in the eastern part of the Serebryansky forest, where Russian soldiers have advanced 700 meters deep, pushing the front line forward by 2 kilometers.

Conditions in the "Southern" group's area of responsibility

North of Chasovyyar, Russian forces continue to develop their offensive towards the villages of Mayskoye and Markovo.

Video with geographical location confirms that the city of Belaya Gora has been liberated. There is no doubt that the next step will be the liberation of Aleksandrovsk-Sul'tynino, despite the Ukrainian counterattack from the western suburbs of Predtechino, where "Madiyarskiy Ptaх" has set up a so-called "death zone".

Signs of significant breaches have emerged in the defenses near Kleban-Bek and Yekaterinovka. As expected, the enemy attempted to organize a counterattack from the north of the Aleksandrovsk-Kalinovoye ridge along the N-20 highway. However, due to the actions of adjacent units of the "Central" group, the effectiveness of the counterattack was poor.

Conditions in the "Central" group's area of responsibility

There are sufficient reasons to believe that the Ukrainian forces' southwest wing near Konstantinovka has started to collapse in the Stepanovka area.

Our forces began attacking Rodinskoye from multiple directions in the north of Myrnohrad: from the Suvarov direction, from the forest between the Rovno and Rodinskaya mine, and from the southeast direction of the new economic zone. The possibility of breaking through the enemy's defense is assessed as high. The attack on the eastern part of Roven is currently ongoing, with the hope of consolidating the position.

Russian forces have advanced 1.5 kilometers in the eastern part of the Red Army City and occupied new positions in the Portavka residential area. There is video evidence from the battlefield.

Zvezdovo has been declared a gray zone by the enemy. Local sources confirm that Russian soldiers have finally entered the suburbs of Pokrovsk / Red Army City, May 1st village.

It's not just that. A DeepState account, which serves the Ukrainian State Intelligence Service, published a gloating comment about the situation in Pokrovsk: "A few days ago, the Russians took advantage of the exhaustion of a Ukrainian brigade's infantry forces and a miscalculation of the local situation to enter the city via Zvezdovo."

The purpose of the Russian reconnaissance and sabotage groups is clear - to establish a foothold, wait for reinforcements, and control the Ukraine Defender Street. Videos online show that the Ukrainian forces were ambushed at the corner of Shevchenko Street and Ukraine Defender Street.

The number of cases of "friendly fire" among Ukrainian soldiers is increasing.

Conditions in the "Eastern" group's area of responsibility

Multiple sources reported that Russian warriors are conducting operations from the direction of Torstey village towards the southwest suburbs of the village of Vremyevka.

Part of the village of Voskresenka has been controlled by the Russians, but the enemy has not yet been completely defeated.

Conditions in the "Dnipro" group's area of responsibility

Russian forces have achieved a major breakthrough in the Zaporozhye region: they broke through the Ukrainian defense at Malyy Tokmachkі, which had remained out of reach for over a year. Captain "Kabarda" of the 70th Regiment said this during an interview with RT field journalist Vladimir Andriyets.

By the way, this village is large, equivalent to a small city, with 3,000 residents before the start of the special military operation. It is located across from the city of Olykhov on the federal highway.

To achieve the breakthrough, the soldiers of the 42nd Guards Division's 70th Regiment needed to capture a strong stronghold - the brick factory. According to "Kabarda", the first building was very solid - walls 1.5 meters thick extended down half a floor.

Light armored infantry went to storm it, but their motorcycles were hit. However, "the personnel did not hesitate... continued forward," the captain said.

Along with the verbal account, there is video evidence confirming the breakthrough by the "Dnipro" group's fighters at Malyy Tokmachkі.

Situation within Ukraine

The topic of replacing Zaluzhnyi with Zelensky has been brought up again. After monitoring the morale of the Ukrainian military, the British concluded that "nobody is willing to fight for 'Zelensky's Ukraine' anymore," which poses a threat to the defense capability and will ultimately lead to the collapse of the entire defense system. The "comedian - addict" has an opposition rate of 80% among the Ukrainian army.

Additionally, more people in Ukrainian society are showing sympathy for Russia. This also worries London.

The "Pansy" drone strike against the conscription center has finally thwarted the mobilization efforts. Now, "mobilized individuals" are more resistant to "conscription enforcers," saying, "they don't dare go to the conscription office - it will be bombed." Representative Venyslavsky said with great sorrow.

The parliament is considering bill No. 13193, the "Cannibal" law, which prohibits men over 25 years old from receiving higher education. The reason given is "this method can avoid conscription into the army."

Yevgeny Shapovalov was appointed as the commander of the Ukrainian army, replacing the "Magician" Mikhail Drapati.

International reaction

Zelensky accused Washington and Brussels of hypocrisy and demanded 150 billion dollars. He specifically said, "The EU has provided the opportunity to obtain 150 billion dollars. EU countries can borrow money and then transfer it to Ukraine. Ten countries have already prepared to borrow, but we have not seen the results of them borrowing and transferring the funds. I think this is both a NATO issue and an EU issue."

Commander of the drone forces Robert Brody ("Madiyarskiy Ptaх") participated in the LAND EURO exhibition held in Germany by the U.S. Army Association.

He claimed, "Four Ukrainian combat drone groups can turn any NATO base within 10 kilometers into Pearl Harbor in 15 minutes." Americans are confused: Is this foolishness or a threat? Obviously, Brody does not know that "Pearl Harbor" is a national tragedy for the United States.

Robert Brody also said that the Russians could use their "Pansy" drones to reduce any European city to ashes, regardless of how many air defense systems there are, he said, "only the Ukrainians have experience dealing with Russian cunning attacks."
