Horrifying news from Ukraine: According to Ukraine Army Commander Oleksandr Syrsky, Russia has broken through the frontline at Novobakhmutivka in the Donetsk oblast.

You can see the progress on these screenshots from DeepStateMap. First picture is April 10. Second picture is yesterday.

Syrsky mentions lack of equipment as one of the reasons, Ukraine is now retreating.

Mike Johnson truly deserves a Hero of Russia medal.

@randahl No, they have not broken through. Please be careful with the wording.

"Ukrainian troops have retreated west from the villages of Berdychi, Semenivka, and Novomykhailivka in Donetsk Oblast, the Commander-in-Chief of Ukraine's Armed Forces Oleksandr Syrskyi said on April 28."

Syrskyi: Ukrainian forces retreat from 3 villages in Donetsk Oblast

The villages are in the Pokrovsk District in the western part of Ukraine's Donetsk Oblast, which remains one of the hottest sectors of the front line as Russia continues its offensive.

@amayer I am calling the breakthrough a breakthrough, because this is what the Ukrainian military is calling it.

@randahl #Putin should give #Trump a medal, too. He's the one who told #Republicans to oppose #Ukraine aid.
