Go Get Them Boys. Military Update on the Ukraine: Russians “overwhelm” Chasiv Yar from the north and east – house-to-house fighting Russian penetration of the city of Khasiv Yar in the eastern and northern sectors, where the terrain is flat, continues, resulting in the Ukrainians continuously withdrawing and moving to new defensive positions, Pronews reports. The Russian advance was especially important from the north. Fighting goes from house to house and groups of Russian Spetsnz try to advance towards the western sector of Tsashiv Yar. The western and central sectors have an increased difficulty because they are built on heights and this difference in height offers advantages to the defenders. The encirclement of the city is not an easy task, precisely because of the height differences and also the Seversky Donets River, another major obstacle for the Russians. From the intensity of the Russian operations, it seems that the Russians are determined to take the city in a short time, as it is in a strategic location that gives them access to Donetsk's other major cities such as Kostandinovka and Slavyansk. and Kramatorsk. The total liquidation of Donbass will become possible. The Ukrainians themselves admit that if Chasiv Yar is lost, it will be a very difficult task for them to remain in the Donetsk region. The Donetsk region, in turn, will be a bridgehead for the attack on Kharkov and Zaporizhia. It is noted that fortified towns have not been created in these areas as was done in the Donbas and this means that the Russians will be able to advance quickly. A Russian victory in #ChasivYar would jeopardize the security of the remaining #Ukraine -held cities in #Donetsk . “If #Russia manage to capture this city, they can launch an offensive on #Kostiantynivka , #Druzhkivka , #Kramatorsk & #Sloviansk ,” said a UA spokesperson. #svpol #föpol http://pic.twitter.com/KDYE9UjCVA — Jari Lairolahti (@heartsteered) April 17, 2024 One of the most significant current battles in Ukraine is taking place in the small city of Chasiv Yar. In this thread, I will analyze the current situation, defensive preparations, terrain, participating units, various scenarios and future developments. 1/ http://pic.twitter.com/IV33Sd88UP — Emil Kastehelmi (@emilkastehelmi) April 16, 2024 Ukraine has constructed several layers of trenches and other defensive positions north and south of Chasiv Yar. Even if the Russians managed to cross the canal at some point, they would still need to break through multiple fortified positions to seriously threaten the area. 3/ http://pic.twitter.com/MrDs84sAsl — Emil Kastehelmi (@emilkastehelmi) April 16, 2024 The Russians advance unchallenged in Donetsk: No one in the West has to deal with Zelensky anymore because of Israel - Iran The Russian military has made significant gains from the ongoing operations on the Donetsk front.

There has also been no update on the situation of Ukrainian forces, with independent sources already reporting a partial collapse of the front and an orderly withdrawal of the Ukrainians. The Russian army managed to penetrate even further into the south of Krasnogorsk and occupy almost the entire southern Krasnogorsk district. If they manage to fully regroup south of the industrial zone that exists in the area, Russian forces will be able to encircle the Ukrainian defense positions therein. In any case, the battle for the industrial zone seems to have begun. #UkraineRussiaWar Russian army managed to advance in Southern Krasnogorovka more and captured almost entire southern neighborhood of Krasnogorovka. Battle for Industrial Zone is about to start. Military Summary Map ( https://t.co/ZTGjJqdSWL ) http://pic.twitter.com/FE6bgADMlg — Military Summary (@MilitarySummary) April 16, 2024
