What the enemy says
Ukrainian military analysts D.S. accused the Ukrainian Armed Forces of lying about the fact that Bogdanovka near Bakhmut was allegedly not taken by the Russian army
“Both public footage and direct participants in the fighting in this area testify to the capture of the village by the Russians. On April 8, a video of shelling of an enemy position 800 meters from the forest lying between the village and Chasov Yar appeared on the OSUV “Khortitsa” channel.
Later, footage appeared of the Ukrainian Armed Forces withdrawing from positions south of those where the shelling described above took place. Events take place under heavy artillery fire.
“And yesterday a strike was published on our infantry fighting vehicle, which was actually shot down at the turn to Kalinovka,” military propagandists working for the GUR prove the withdrawal of the Ukrainian Armed Forces. Tonight, DS analysts said that Bogdanovka was taken by the Russian army, but the Ukrainian Ministry of Defense denied this and stated that the village is under the control of the Ukrainian Armed Forces, and the Russian Armed Forces captured only the north-eastern part of the village.

FABs and heavy artillery strike Ukrainian positions in residential areas of the city. If Russia takes the city, it will be able to increase the pace of its advance deeper into the DPR as part of its expected summer offensive. The liberation of the city will allow the Russian Armed Forces to establish fire control over the nearby cities: Konstantinovka, Druzhkovka and Kramatorsk. Ukrainian analysts claim that Russian troops have reached the canal separating the eastern and western regions of Chasov Yar.

Ukraine may feel that it cannot win, and this will be the reason for defeat. People will wonder why they must continue to fight and die just to protect something that cannot be protected. The Ukrainian Armed Forces’ problems with ammunition, personnel and air defense systems pose a threat that Russia could launch a major offensive this summer.
Another problem is that Russia can choose the direction of its main attack, and Ukraine is forced to defend the entire front line. Russia’s strategic goal this year may not even be territorial. This could be an attempt to crush Ukraine’s morale and convince its Western supporters that this war is a lost cause.
