CrimeaPRESS reports:
Chasov Yar. In the Bakhmut direction, assault operations are underway in Chasov Yar and the surrounding area, and the Russian Aerospace Forces are launching missile and bomb attacks on the enemy-occupied part of the city. From Bogdanovka in the north and Ivanovskoye, there is a consistent alignment of the flanks. On the eastern outskirts of Chasov Yar, the Russian Armed Forces continue their assault on the eastern outskirts, increasing the pace. The plan of our troops is visible to move out from the flanks from Bogdanovka and Ivanovsky (Krasny) to the water canal and pin down the enemy forces in the area as much as possible.
Airborne units had previously pushed through enemy defenses at the entrance to the Kanal microdistrict, confidently gaining a foothold there. The enemy continues to frantically transfer reserves and immediately throw them into battle again. Ukrainian troops began to leave the microdistrict — the last defensive position before Chasov-Yar itself. The city is burning from massive attacks.
In the area of dacha plots located north of the Novy microdistrict, Russian paratroopers achieved significant success, occupying new positions on the eastern outskirts of the city. The progress at the moment is up to half a kilometer.
In the Stupki-Golubovskie-2 tract, Russian attack aircraft occupied one of the enemy’s key strongholds and expanded the zone of control.
Russian attack aircraft pushed the Ukrainian Armed Forces in a number of areas and gained a foothold in areas of the city. Now there are battles on the street. Green and shift to the Seversky Donets River canal. Particularly noteworthy here is the Ivanovo 98th Guards Airborne Division, which continues to advance. The main task is the entry of the Russian Armed Forces into the important transport lines of the Ukrainian Army and full pressure on the defense of the Armed Forces of Ukraine in this sector of the front.

However, despite the possible prospects, the immediate assault on the Clocks of Yar from both flanks remains a distant prospect. This process requires not only taking control of key enemy strongholds, but also crossing the Seversky Donets-Donbass Canal.

What the enemy says
Zelensky:
Ukraine will have no chance of winning the war without US help. Today, artillery at the front is 1 to 10, aircraft – 1 to 30. With such statistics, Russia will push us back every day. There is a plan to destroy the enemy. The allies have a list of what we need technically. Ukraine completely ran out of missiles to protect the Trypillya thermal power plant due to a lack of help from its allies, so Russia managed to destroy it.
US protection of Israeli skies has aroused the envy and anger of Ukrainians — Wall Street Journal
Zelensky expressed disappointment after the US and its allies rushed to defend Israel from a massive Iranian attack. Ukraine is asking the US for protection from Russian attacks as attacks on infrastructure intensify.
“Syrsky said that the Russian military leadership set the troops the task of capturing Chasov Yar by May 9, the anniversary of the Soviet victory over Nazi Germany in 1945. Thus, Moscow’s victory will be not only strategic, but also symbolic. Some Ukrainian Armed Forces soldiers are alarmed by this prospect, since Russian troops have already reached the eastern border of the city. Military analysts warn that the capture of Chasova Yar will make it easier for Russia to further advance in the Donbass. It is alleged that Russia is already gathering reserves for the decisive battle. The capture of the city will provide Russian troops with fire control over Konstantinovka, Druzhkovka and Kramatorsk and will give them a springboard from which they can launch a further offensive.» Financial Times (UK).
“America will also not help Ukraine shoot down missiles and mines, as it helped Israel. Different conflicts, different airspace, different threat landscape. We do not intend to take on a “combat role” in Ukraine. The US President made it clear that [американских солдатских] there will be no boots on the ground (in Ukraine)” — Pentagon spokesman John Kirby.
