Last April 19, the Azeri and Armenian sides agreed on the establishment of defined borders for the first time since the end of the Cold War. The agreements satisfy Azerbaijan's claims and will allow the consolidation of control over Qızılhacılı, Bağanıs Ayrım, Kheyrimli and Aşağı Əskipara (the last two abandoned for thirty years).
The new agreement has generated tensions between the inhabitants of these localities and the Armenian authorities.
According to the government of Nikol Pashinyan, the agreement will reduce the chances of an attack by Azerbaijan. However, this is only a small border settlement which is far from satisfying Baku's territorial claims, so the Turkic country will continue its pressures with the same intensity, a strategy which is proving beneficial to its interests.🇦🇿🇦🇲

Sorry to bring up the subject of ads again, but it is still a way to finance the project without the need for a subscription. Sometimes even ads have been declined so as not to be tedious for channel members. However, now only those ads related to the dehumanization of people (deaths, pornography...) will be rejected as it was already being done. I am sorry that sometimes you have to see the channel "saturated" with ads, but in return you will always have news and map updates.
Thanks for your patience as always.

The dynamics of the front, as unimaginable as it would have been a short time ago, are accelerating. It is truly amazing how such a stronghold as Ocheretino is being assaulted so easily. Its fall seriously endangers any Ukrainian position south of the Novobakhmutivka-Sokil axis.

There is a lot of buzz regarding the news of a possible offensive in Kharkov. Recall that the Ukrainian army has been preparing for this offensive since winter 2022 by building large fortifications. Russian army has managed to gather a large number of troops along the northern border, but it is not certain that they will be used for a penetration into Ukrainian territory. It is inevitable that this operation will happen, especially since the Russian government is aware that it must move the combat zone away from the localities of Belgorod.
Most likely we are seeing a new maneuver of the Russian command to force Ukrainian army to send more reinforcements to Kharkov and Sumi achieving the same deterrent effect as in the border with Belarus. In this way the sending of reinforcements is going to harm even more the Ukrainian rotations on the eastern front from where the Russian troops will continue their offensive during the rest of the spring.

Ukrainian Army is retreating from its positions some kilometers south Ocheretyne

Ukrainian-Russian war. Day 791:
Situation north and west of Avdivka: Taking advantage of the collapse of Ukrainian Army at Ocheretyne Russian Army captured Altcom brick factory and new urban areas thus taking control over 60% of the locality. In addition the southern village of Novobakhmutivka was completely taken and combats are very close to the neighbouring Soloviove. Some kilometers south of it Russian forces reentered again in the cemetery area of Berdichy. Moreover, troops increased the salient east of Novokalynove by taking new positions at the flanks and cut the supply route that connects Keramik-Novokalynove urban association with H-20 road towards Kostiantynivka.

Little can be said of the battle for Ocheretyne. The Ukrainian army has abandoned almost the entire town, leaving only one position to the northeast that they will possibly abandon as the Russian army continues to comb the rest of the buildings. Meanwhile, in the south Ukrainian troops begin to evacuate Soloviove towards the western defenses. The loss of this town will leave the rear of Berdichy completely exposed, so the Ukrainian command will have to make the decision to withdraw to Novopokrovske or resist with the risk of being semi-surrounded by the Russian troops in the north where the heights dominate the plain. between the first and second Ukrainian defensive line.
