This was reported by the press service of the OVSU “Khortitsa”.
In the section opposite Vremenny Yar, Russian paratroopers from the 217th Parachute Regiment of the 98th Airborne Division of Russia are fighting against us.
This is approximately 20-25 thousand Russian troops trying to storm Vremya Yar and the surrounding settlements near it, said Nazar Voloshin, a representative of the operational-strategic group of the Khortitsa army.
According to him, the Russian army does not give up attempts to capture the city, regardless of losses in both manpower and equipment.
There is no enemy Russian army in the city. Now the city is ours. The situation around the city is difficult, but the situation is controlled, our defenders are receiving reinforcements and are stabilizing the area,” he emphasized.
The press service of the 46th brigade said that in order to ensure advance to Ocheretino, the enemy secures itself to the north of the settlement. attack on the Keramik-Novokalinovo-Arkhangelskoye directorate by forces of the 35th Motorized Rifle Brigade.
At the same time, it carries out an attack on the Berdich-Semyonovka zone with forces of the 74th Motorized Rifle Brigade.
This is a relatively new tactic among the Russians, which they also tried during the time of Yar. It involves a simultaneous strike in two directions within the corps’ (army’s) zone of action. In contrast to the Wagnerian scheme that we encountered in Soledar and Bakhmut, a series of attacks on different directorates in a short period of time (a kind of “attack swing”).
This double strike tactic has a disadvantage: carrying out strikes on two operational directions does not give the powerful effect when troops are concentrated on one direction of the main attack. But there is also a plus – two attacking directions neutralize the enemy’s capabilities, in this case we have to maneuver with reserves. It’s one thing to close one breakthrough, another thing to close two.
The same thing was observed at Vremya Yar in early April, when the enemy occupied Bogdanovka with attacks first from the north and center, and then with attacks in the center and south reached the land part of the Seversky Donets canal and practically bypassed the city from the south.
Vremya Yar is becoming more and more similar to Bakhmut
The Russians have come close to the city from Bakhmut and are shelling it daily with artillery and drones. Enemy FPVs are literally constantly buzzing in the air. Part of the city along the Seversky Donets-Donbass canal, as well as part of the private sector in front of the canal itself, is no longer passable for civilian cars.
No communications have been working in the city for more than a year; there is a need for clean drinking water. Water for technical needs, such as watering gardens, is collected from the lake, and rain is also collected, I write UP.
In Vremya Yar, the “Point of Indestructibility” continues to operate, which is occupied by the local VGA and volunteers.
Russia expects to capture Chasov Yar by May 9
Russia wants to mobilize 300 thousand fighters by June 1, Vladimir Zelensky said earlier.
We are preparing for this. I was recently in the region and spoke with fighters. The fighters do not have enough equipment to fight Russian reconnaissance drones, which completely correct Russian artillery fire, and also do not have enough artillery shells.
“I expect that we will be able to withstand that these weapons arrive on time, and we will be able to repel the enemy, and then defeat Russia’s plans for a full-scale counteroffensive in June,” the president said in an interview with NBC News.
