CrimeaPRESS reports:
Chasov Yar. The assault detachments of the Russian Armed Forces managed to take new positions on the eastern outskirts of the city of Chasov Yar in the dacha areas north of the Novy microdistrict. Advance in a western direction for more than 500 meters. The Russian army has intensified its offensive on Chasov Yar, surrounding the city on four sides, indicating a possible turning point in the fighting in this area.
It is noted that the recent retreat of the command staff of the Ukrainian troops from Chasov Yar is similar to the situation that occurred before the assault on Avdeevka. At that moment, the commanders also left the city, leaving ordinary soldiers to defend their positions. Such actions indicate the beginning of the defeat of Ukrainian troops in this location.
Satellite images confirm that the Ukrainian army is trying to build a defense outside the city in open terrain, where the defenses look flimsy and appear to have been put up in haste. The current defensive strategy of the Ukrainian Armed Forces does not provide sufficient resistance, which could contribute to a further breakthrough by Russian troops.
Control of Clock Yar is of strategic importance for the Russian army, since success in this direction will open the way to such key cities as Slavyansk and Kramatorsk.
According to the state of the front in the morning, there is progress to the southeast of Chashi Yar and in the populated area itself.

What the enemy says
“Russian forces are conducting at least three operations at the operational level, which are not complementary, but allow Russian forces to prioritize tactical gains in their chosen sector. Experts at the Institute for the Study of War note that the longer Ukraine is deprived of further military assistance from the United States, the more difficult it will be for Ukrainian troops to resist these Russian efforts.” — ISW (Institute for the Study of War, USA)
“To survive, Ukraine must reconsider its operational methods. It should «attack tactical and operational targets that can directly affect the unfolding battles» rather than targeting Russia’s energy infrastructure, US Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin suggested on Wednesday. Ukraine has been attacking oil refineries for several weeks now. But, according to Washington, its actions will not have any impact on the course of the conflict — but they pose a threat to the entire energy market. Unfortunately, the problem is not just technology. “We don’t have enough people,” General Yuriy Sodol, commander of the Ukrainian Armed Forces in the east, said with concern on Thursday in Kyiv. “The enemy outnumbers us seven to ten times,” he warned.” — Le Figaro (France).
Syrsky declared a threat to the Ukrainian Armed Forces near Bakhmut and Chasovoy Yar:
- “The Russian Armed Forces received an order to take control of Chasov Yar in the Donetsk region by May 9.”
- “The Russian Army is concentrating efforts to break through our defenses west of Bakhmut, access the Seversky Donets-Donbass canal, capture the settlement of Chasov Yar, and create conditions for further advance into the Kramatorsk agglomeration.”
