341-44. SW Bakhmut/Korsunskoho St.
Released 13/04, reportedly film from a🇷🇺VDV unit showing artillery striking UAF-occupied blocks north of Kindergarten №40 'Smile'. These blocks are vital in protecting Chaikovskoho street and the western entrance to town.https://t.co/qxBwCGm1hp https://t.co/uU4rXpfyUE

@Oranjemarker Thanks. If you find original film for the right inset of picture 2 of the vehicles in a line do DM me, because I think they could be all pre-war right-offs in which case it may get removed from the list.

During the training of Ukrainian tank crews in Poland, one of the Leopard 2A4 tanks drove onto the another, decapitating it as a result.

RT @noclador: russian trolls want to make you believe that this video is old... it isn't.
The soldiers are wearing the insignia of the 118th Mechanized Brigade. A brigade formed in January, with an insignia awarded only this February.
russians need to stop lying to themselves and run away.

This timeline tracks with what we were told during our trip. Russian artillery fire and VDV-Wagner cooperation increased during the last few days of February. It seems Putin's direct intervention in mediating this dispute played an important role.

@RALee85:
Although there was a 3-week period in which Russian artillery fire was reduced, it increased at the end of February as the 106th Airborne Division played a greater role, which coincided with greater Wagner-VDV cooperation. Russia has a substantial artillery advantage in Bakhmut.

356. Bakhmut Railway Station.
This is why "Bunny", the famous 93rd Mech Bde T-80BVM (captured from🇷🇺) couldn't be recovered (twt 323). After getting stuck the BREM-1 ARV sent to recover it got damaged under intense fire. It could drive but couldn't recover.

323 Bakhmut station.
Sadly the famous🇺🇦93rd Mech Bde T-80BVM "Bunny", (previously captured from🇷🇺) was set on fire by its commander approx 03/04 as it couldn't be recovered.
I sat on this for a week. The new pic + CO's comment are now public. Geo linked👇https://t.co/lJ3phw3xFj https://t.co/rvhuF532oq
