Russian troops broke through to the Red Army Village, captured Troitskoye, controlled Bogdanovka, and Ukrainian troops continued to reinforce.

The US think tank Institute for the Study of War (ISW) said that Russia has so far refused to make any concessions and rejected the "30-day comprehensive ceasefire agreement" offered by Trump in his phone call with Putin on March 18.

According to the report of Russian war correspondent Lisytsen, in the direction of Krasnoarmeyskoye, Russian drone teams continue to strike vehicles of the 425th Independent Brigade of the Armed Forces of Ukraine.

It's been a while since we last saw high-quality long videos from the Russian "Beaver" drone team. They are now using fiber-optic FPV drones, and the classic "carrot village snow screen" is now history. In this video, a total of 7 Ukrainian armored vehicles and several basements were destroyed on the Krasnoarmeyskoye front line.

On April 5, fierce fighting was taking place in the direction of Krasnoarmeyskoye. Russian assault troops have broken through Troitskoye and reached the key crossroads leading to Kotlyarivka. At the same time, they are completing the clearance of Probrayanka, and control of Bogdanovka is almost entirely in the hands of Russian troops.

The current combat situation in this direction has created conditions for further pressure on the Ukrainian troops guarding the defensive positions in the Kotriyarovka area. The Ukrainian armed forces are holding their ground here, but the threat of encirclement from the flanks is making them increasingly unstable.

Next, it depends on whether the Ukrainian command will mobilize reserve troops for reinforcements or tactical maneuvers. There was news in a Russian group yesterday saying that the Ukrainian army reinforced the direction of Krasnoarmeyskoye with a brigade of 2,500 men.

Ukrainian media (source: RBC Ukraine) reported that a group of retired elderly conscripts mobilized by the Ukrainian army died under Russian artillery strikes in the Pokrovskoye direction (Krasnoarmeyskoye direction). Due to physical incapacity, they couldn't even retreat.
