#WarInUkraine D+440 (09/05) PdS1 - Theater of #Donbass
For 7 days, 🇺🇦contre-attack locally with success, on the front of #Donbass, to test strengths and weaknesses 🇷🇺 with a preference for the flanks
We have the result: 🇺🇦 recaptured 65 km2 of its land!

5/n #Ukraine May 09
2/center segment, #Bakhmut-#Siversk
Even in this segment, where 🇷🇺 concentrate most of their forces, 🇺🇦 is regaining (a tiny bit) of ground (+1 km2) in 7 days👇
As can be seen on this map by the gifted @Pouletvolant3 where the huge northern salient is exposed
6/n #Ukraine May 09
(i) Inside the ramparts,
268th day of the siege
The Wagnerian orchestra increased its tempo, multiplying assaults and artillery fire, the frequency of which never stopped and even increased (contrary to #Prigozhin's clownish claims)👇
7/n #Ukraine May 09
#Prigozhin raised the stakes (for him) by bringing in reinforcements from Wagner and, perhaps, Kadyrovites, of dubious military value
Despite all this he is not advancing 👇and the last post 🇺🇦 in #Bakhmut still has an area of 3 to 4 km2 in the western area
8/n #Ukraine May 09
The last 🇺🇦 post👇a boundary:
- NW to SW, a line connecting the 3 tactical anchor points noted in the @egeablog weekly update: Olympic School - 54th Brigade Barracks - Tchaikovsky St. (T-0504)
-to the west, the municipal limits
9/n #Ukraine May 09
As a result, the rate of Russian occupation of #Bakhmut remains nailed at 90% (plot and/or rate discrepancies are explained by the existence or not of images)
10/n #Ukraine May 09
To explain his snail's pace, #Prigozhin resumed his show 👇: it's the 72nd brigade's fault 🇷🇺qui abandoned its positions on his flank
#Donbass mortician needs to explain to #Putin why he didn't get his victory on May 9...
11/n #Ukraine May 09
The reality is more prosaic: 🇺🇦 are well entrenched in defense on their three anchor points in the city, and the Wagner's are making difficult progress in an urban combat context
here, a Wagner machine gun, wiped out 👇
12/n #Ukraine May 09
(ii) Outside the walls,
The 🇷🇺 attack around the perimeter of the northern convex salients (on #Bohdanivka, #OrikhovoVasylivka, #Hryhorivka points) and southern (#Ivanivske, #Predtecchyne, #ChasivYar), without success
13/n #Ukraine May 09
These attacks are aimed at cutting off the supply of the last post 🇺🇦 in the city, closing the evacuation corridor in the west of the city
But they are also aimed at improving tactical positions for the next step, that is, the assault on the channel Siverski-Donetsk,
14/n #Ukraine May 09
which passes through #ChasivYar, key to #Donbass, and will be the first line of defense 🇺🇦 if #Bakhmut falls
But 🇷🇺 has made no gains in 7 days, so 🇺🇦 is testing the salients around #Bakhmut (cf. #SaccoIVanzetti attack)
Evacuation corridor remains open at 53° (5 km)
15/n #Ukraine May 09
3/southern segment, #Avdiivka-#Vuhledar
On this segment, 🇺🇦 also regained the initiative and reclaimed 59 km2 on the two extreme points of the segment in a week:
-> west of #Pavlivka (51 km2)
-> south of NewYork, attacking the base of the northern convex salient of #Avdiivka (8 km2)
“1/n #GuerreEnUkraine D+440 (09/05) PdS1 - Théâtre du #Donbass Depuis 7 jours, 🇺🇦contre-attaquent localement avec succès, sur le front du #Donbass, pour tester forces et faiblesses 🇷🇺avec une préférence pour les flancs On a le résultat : 🇺🇦a repris 65 km2 de sa terre ! @Liberov”
