Prigozhin is standing near the destroyed Bakhmut train station. While it's possible his forces took the last 400-yard stretch of road & destroyed buildings in the city's westernmost area, his claim of full control would be more convincing if he were standing along that stretch. https://t.co/ORKHV36K5J

RT @PikeGrey1418: Italian armed pontoon 'Valente' anchored in the Adriatic near Venice. Launched in 1916, the 'Valente' was a rather crude monitor type vessel, consisting of a 305 mm/46 Model 1909 naval gun installed on an old Austro-Hungarian self-propelled iron barge, captured in 1915. https://twitter.com/PikeGrey1418/status/1659931108488642564/photo/1

Avdiivka
In an attempt to divert UA forces from Bakhmut, units from mostly RU 1st Army Corps attempted to encircle Avdiivka during March - April. AFU lost Krasnohorivka and Kamyanka in the north but managed to hold on to the sentiments in the south.

RU 8th CAA, which includes 1st Army Corps are doing most of the fighting around Avdiivka.

Vuhledar
After some epic failures by RuAF in the Vuhledar direction this winter, the frontline has remained fairly static for the last couple of months.

Zaporizhzhia
This part of the frontline have remained fairly static since last year. Some back and forth have been noted but no major changes. We have RU Southern MDs 58th CAA in charge here with some elements of Eastern MD.

Kherson
As you can guess, not a lot happened here. There has been some fighting in the delta and AFU have presence on some of the islands in the delta. It seems RuAF have focused on keeping out of AFU artillery range.

Bakhmut
It's taken RuAF about 2 month to capture the last 60% or so of Bakhmut. Back in Jan/Feb RuAF managed to form an envelopment around Bakhmut which made it hard for AFU to use counter battery and Air defense in Bakhmut.

The result of the envelopment was also RuAF gaining fire control over AFU ground lines of communications. These are some of the reasons I did not think it was a good idea to stay in Bakhmut.

Ukraine's attrition rate dropped significantly at this point, possibly as low as 1:2 - 1:1 in Ukraine's favor at some point during February-March. I do suspect these numbers apply for the fighting in the city, and not surrounding areas.

The envelopment of Bakhmut was preformed by Wagner and RU VDV units which are considered "storm" units which RuAF use for attacks. These units are better trained than the regular mechanized infantry.

Ukraine attempted some what could be summarized as unsuccessful counter attacks against the VDV units on the Bakhmut flanks in March and did not managed to reverse the RU progress.

At some point during this point, most likely after RuAF attacks stagnated on the flanks, RuAF moved Wagner from the flanks in to the city and replaced the VDV on the flanks with poorly trained units from the 3rd Army Corps, 200th MRB and 4th MRB.

This was noticed by the AFU who a few weeks saw their chance to do a local counter attack using 3rd Assault Brigade. AFU has managed to push RuAF behind down from the T0504 road and to the east of the water canal and are closing in on Klishchiivka.
