    I am Ukrainian. My country has been invaded by Russia. In this video, I will tell you what happened on the seven-hundred-ninetieth day of the war.
    Day 790: Apr 23
    Today, there are a lot of updates from the Avdiivka direction.
    Here, Russians exploited a Ukrainian mistake and executed a daring and risky maneuver in an attempt to accomplish multiple strategic goals at once, endangering the entire Ukrainian defensive operation.
    On the northern flank of Avdiivka, the primary objective of the Russians is advancing westward to take the Ukrainian city of Pokrovsk. This city is the main Ukrainian headquarters in the area, from which they coordinate, reinforce, and supply their forces on the frontline. As such, Ukrainians have established multiple lines of defense to halt any Russian attempts to take this city.
    At first, the Russians focused their breakthrough attempts on the first Ukrainian defensive line behind the Durna River. After multiple successful Ukrainian defensive operations, Ukrainians became overly focused on this line, allocating a large amount of manpower and equipment from other directions to continue to hold it. If we look at the topographic map, we can also see that Ukrainians have established their defenses on the high ground behind the river. Any Russian attempt to cross the river, therefore, comes under fire from the Ukrainians up the hill.
    Russian commanders realized that their chances of breaking through the Ukrainian defense in this direction were close to zero. That is why Russians decided to conduct an opportunistic attack designed to outflank the Ukrainian defenses to the east along the railways. This way, Russians could attack the Ukrainian defense line not only from the flanks but also from the same elevation.
    In preparation for this move, Russian aviation conducted air strikes with FAB glide bombs on Ukrainian positions along the planned Russian axis of advance and the Ukrainian-held town of Ocheretyne. Ukrainian sources also report that Russians started intensely shelling Ukrainian positions in this direction with artillery, severely limiting Ukrainian military movement and rescue operations of civilians stuck under the rubble of targeted buildings.
    After the artillery preparations, Russians started conducting multiple probing attacks on the railway line and the surrounding tree lines. The Ukrainian 45th mechanized brigade shared geolocated footage of the destruction of a Russian assault group consisting of one armored personnel carrier with infantry. However, as it turns out, Ukrainians had allocated too much forces to the Durna defense line. This, combined with the intense aerial and artillery bombardment, had created a gap in the Ukrainian defenses. Russians quickly realized this and intensified their attacks, pushing on to the Zarya settlement and even establishing a small foothold in the town of Ocheretyne in only three days.
    Notably, these Russian attacks consisted of pure infantry, as they were forced to stick to the forest belt along the railway line. The railway line itself is not yet suitable for Russians to move armored vehicles over, as it lacks cover and is under complete Ukrainian fire control from both sides. After the surprise wore off, Ukrainians quickly relocated units from the 30th and 59th mechanized brigades to reinforce the town and conduct immediate counterattacks.
    Geolocated footage confirms the presence of Russian forces on the southern outskirts of the Town as Ukrainians engage Russian forces in the exterior trenches with artillery and drones. During the attack, a Ukrainian observation drone spotted a massive concentration of approximately 50 Russian soldiers exiting the substation on the edge of the town. Russians were using this building as a staging ground, from where the infantry would be directed to further attack certain buildings. After this observation, Ukrainians immediately conducted artillery and drone strikes on the building itself while Russians frantically attempted to flee the kill zone. Russian sources then claimed that these survivors were relocated to positions along the tree belt next to the railway to be more spread out against further Ukrainian attacks. These Russian sources also stated that while the attacks on the town itself had halted, Russian forces were preparing and ready to launch another large attack on Ocheretyne.
    Geolocated footage also confirms that Russians did not completely retreat from the settlement. Ukrainian geolocated footage shows Ukrainian drone operators engaging Russian infantry in the outskirts with drone-dropped grenades. Further released footage shows that Russians are using a Ukrainian trench as a path...

      Ukraine should be supplied with an airforce-worth of fighter aircraft, such as the F-16s and longer-range precision munitions, such as ATACMS (more of them, and the longest-range variants should be provided}), and the russian military facilities inside of russia should be considered legitimate targets. It is worth noting that support for military aid to Ukraine in America is over 80% and increasing. This is because Americans can see that not only is aiding Ukraine the ethical thing to do;, it is the practical thing as well. America has spent only approximately 6% of our military budget so far to help Ukraine. However, over half of the russian army has been destroyed. This is a tremendous bargain by any measure! In addition to this, when russia is defeated in this war, their barbaric ideology of imperialism will also be defeated, making Europe a more peaceful, stable place for many generations - as well as preventing a new arms race in the region. That is why billions spent today saves trillions tomorrow.. The vast majority of Americans understand this. Americans also want to see Ukrainian military and civilian casualties minimized. This is why Americans are correct to support giving military aid to Ukraine.
      Please write to your elected representatives to request this military aid. If you are a US citizen, please consider writing to President Biden and your other elected representatives, and demand Ukraine be given the above weapons - in war-winning quantities, and soon. The sooner we give Ukraine the weapons it needs to liberate all of its territory, the sooner this war will be over, and with fewer Ukrainian casualties. Letters can be submitted electronically via the Whitehouse website. One can also google for ones' elected representatives - many of which have similar websites. One may simply write and submit a letter electronically to make one's desire known.

      Unfortunately, I think he has talked up the performance of the AFU quite a lot in this video. They made several major mistakes, and putting things right is going to be incredibly tough, because the defence lines behind Ochyeretyne are nothing like as sturdy as he suggested at 0:35. There are just a few dug outs in the tree lines and the occasional more hardened positions on high ground. This is a really big opportunity for the Russians, and it appears to be due to downright incompetence shown by the defending elements of the AFU. In no way would I call this "non-bias reporting".

It's obvious in this particular case delays would be bad as it's about bad news from the frontlines and delays and confusion could leave open "the hatch" for dis and misinformation from Kremlin to seep into allied & civilian population.

      You are absolutely right. It was a complete stuff up, and due to disobedience and incompetence. Yes, it's right to flee when FAB 1500's are dropping on you, but you have to keep your troops nearby and be back in there as soon as the bombing stops. Ukraine should have reliable intel regarding when the Russian planes have turned back, and should also have had every opportunity to get back in before the Russians did.

      We should also mention here that the 115th is totally under equipped, they had not enough mines to mine the railway dam where a Russian recon squad found a gap, the equipment is BMP1s and BMP2s, old Soviet artillery pieces and most and for all: basically zero night vision equipment.
      It had good reason Russia had all that success during night attacks.
      The 47th has far better and night fighting capable gear.
      So I d be careful with whom to blame here. If the only thing at night you can do is getting shot, trading terrain for your life to fight another day (hopefully with MANPADs, ATGMs and night vision goggles) isn’t the worst of options.

      Also what need to be put into context is that with this latest bill we have given UKR over $160BN in aid. Toi further put that into context, the entire RUS yearly defense budget is about $80. That means over hte past 2 years we have given UKR equivalent of 2 years worth of RUS defense spending. And what does UKR have to show for it...continued losses.

      The same question should also be asked of the Ukrainians. It's not that big of an operation in retrospect. Storm Zs found a weak point, called in reinforcements (which were already on standby and freshly-rotated), and they just charged head-in.
      Which begs the question, why did the Ukrainians abandoned their position so quickly? If it was a trap, they could've counterattacked and cut the Russians from retreating following the exploited bulge. But now that they have established a foothold on the town with rubbles nearby as cover, retaking it will be twice as hard.
      What can be said, for sure, is that the Ukrainians are really outnumbered and low on supplies. Otherwise, unit rotations should not be a problem to hold and react to a Russian breach.

    this sounds like the exact kind of situation where Ukrainian reserves would be allocated to, without re-stating what has already been said about a billion times, it's a good thing that aid package passed when it did.
    Russian forces are faced with a bit of a dilemma here, either they attempt to establish a stable foothold or they'll end getting cut-off by a pincer maneuver, as much as I would have preferred US aid being passed months ago I think it's important to acknowledge just how crucial it is that it finally en-route to Ukraine now, another couple of weeks of delay could have lead to a substantial breakthrough of Ukrainian defensive lines.

    I cant imagine russian mobics as strong fighters, with a bottle of Vodka in their hands.

      Unwilled mobics are contained in AFU. Just watch how recruit offecers caought people on streets. "Democracy" and cancelled elections by Elensky. This is sick completely and have to be stopped. Better leave theese dreams about "ukraine's victory". half of million ukrainians are killed on frontline almost. For what? For new aid? Why ukraine refused to sigh a deal in 2021 or 2022 spring in Istanbul?

    If they cannot move vehicles, they cannot move ammunition or heavy equipment. So, it is a very minor defense breakdown. It's the kind of minor victory where all the attackers are soon killed or captured without achieving anything important. The loss of another Russian oil refinery would be hundreds of times more significant, but might seem of about equal significance if reported in the news as such.
