Summary of Cassad (Boris Rozhin)-22 March 22:00 hours (two merged reports)
1. Mariupol. The fight continues in the streets.. According to the estimates of the DPR, of 14.5 thousand members of the Armed Forces of Ukraine in a combat-ready state at the time of the formation of the cauldron, about half remain in Mariupol. The rest are dead, wounded, missing, captured or have escaped to the Zaporozhye region.
Street fighting continues in Mariupol. The enemy stubbornly resists and still in an organized way, despite the losses suffered. There is a terrible humanitarian situation in the city due to the continuation of the practice of taking the residents of the city hostage by the Ukrainian Nazis. The Russian Armed Forces and the DPR army are making serious efforts to save the civilian population.
2. Donetsk. Maryinka. West of Donetsk, storming the village. The troops are moving slowly, but there is still a lot of work to be done before this fortified area is completely cleared.
Intense fighting continues for Marinka and Avdeyevka. At midnight intense shelling. Repulsed counterattack of the 25th ukra Brigade on Verkhnetoretskoye. The enemy was driven out of Verkhnetoretsky after several days of fighting. The DPR army is trying to break through the Rokadnaya highway near Novoselka-2. The offensive on Dzerzhinsk is not yet underway. Donetsk and other DPR cities continue to be shelled by missiles and artillery.
3. Ugledar. South-west of Donetsk. The troops are approaching Velikaya Novoselka from the south, and also advanced through the defense of the Ukrainian Armed Forces and advanced to the locality. Novomikhailovka. Ugledar has not been taken yet.
4.Russian Forces and the DPR army are developing an offensive in the direction of the Marinka-Kurakhovo highway. The first line of defense is partially broken. The enemy moved to the second line, hoping to delay the offensive on the Novomikhailovka-Velikaya Novoselka line. The units of the Ukrainian Forces defending here suffered heavy losses of personnel and equipment.
Note: the "steppe front", southwest of Donetsk continues to advance, every day a little more. Yesterday they advanced 4 kilometers and the front is getting closer and closer to Kurakhovo and the road going west from Donetsk.
In the rear villages behind this line the Russian artillery is already arriving, which is shooting against the reserves and the second front line.

5. Lugansk. In Lisichansk, Severodonetsk and Popasnoya no novelty. Units from Chechnya have been deployed to the front to participate in the clearing of settlements.
6. Izyum. Yes, but it's too early to talk about any turning point. Airstrikes in the agglomeration of the Slavyansk-Kramatorsk region, as well as attacks on the railway junction in the village of Pavlograd and targets in the village of Lozovaya.
Izyum-Balakleya-Kharkiv. There were no significant changes during the day, the most serious battles are taking place in the Izyum direction, where the Ukrainian command is throwing its reserves to prevent the Russian advance towards Slavyansk and Kramatorsk or to Barvenkovo. Russian aviation began to attack the supply lines of the Ukrainian army in Donbass, attacking ammunition depots, fuel and lubricant reserves, etc.
Another report on the fighting in Izyum - ТГК - Старше Седды
The battle for Izyum, or rather for the territory south of the city, the village of Kamenka is gaining momentum and is becoming one of the most important points of the war. In the morning, the Ukrainian troops tried to attack with a tank company. They were driven out by air and artillery strikes.
At this time, intense artillery shelling against the enemyin the Kamenka area, and the result will be clear in the morning. The Ukrainian forces have sent up to two more motorized rifle battalions to Kamenka and are doing everything possible to prevent the Russian army from breaking the brake and reaching Slavyansk.
It is necessary to pay tribute to the artillery of the Ukrainian Forces, it carries out quite accurate fire. In addition, it launches Tochka missiles every day, and enemy UAVs are constantly soaring into the sky. Our air defense system is operating at full capacity, and enemy targets are constantly being destroyed in the air. The enemy's air defense in turn fires on the aviation of our army, fortunately unsuccessfully.
7. Kharkiv. No significant changes. Fighting north and east of the city. The main battles, as before, take place somewhere on the outskirts
Sumy and Chernihiv. There are no significant changes. Both cities are still blocked
8. Kiev. No major changes. Despite the "counteroffensive", today Ukraine has recognized that Russian Forces control Bucha, Gostomel and part of Irpen. And the main task of the enemy is to hold the locality. West of Kiev, moderate-intensity fighting continued northeast of Brovary. Chernihiv-unchanged.
The city is blocked from 3 sides, according to Western intelligence, it may take the Russian army from 4 to 10 days to completely encircle Kiev after the regrouping of troops is completed.
9. Nikolaev-Odessa. New serious blows to the city. The port infrastructure is severely damaged. Several targets and groups of soldiers were destroyed. There are no active offensive actions. According to reports, the Admiral Makarov frigate destroyed the Ukrainian ship Neteshin, which was anchoring mines.
10. Zaporozhe.
Troop movements in the Kamenskoe-Orekhov-Gulyai-Pole direction. There is a regrouping of forces. But the offensive is unlikely to start before the Mariupol sweep. Nikopol-unchanged.
11. Krivoy-Rog During the day, there was no serious advance of Russian Forces in the direction of these cities, although the enemy indicates that there is a concentration of forces on the right bank of the Dnieper.
Cannon fodder for the Ukrainian army - Vladimir Orlov
The Ukrainian command is literally trying to stop the advance of the Russian army with cannon fodder. Just yesterday, conscripted, incapacitated and poorly motivated people were forcibly captured on the streets and dressed in military uniforms.
The only purpose of his "resistance" and senseless death is to arouse hatred of Russia and the Russian people among his relatives. AA that they themselves belong. After all, the majority of the population of the city of Nikolaev, in which they were enlisted, are Russians. At least they were eight years ago.
Some of these people don't understand the horrors of war. And they can't understand the fact that being in a pre-trial detention center for not answering the call-up is much better than ending up as a charred piece of meat in the steppe. For ideas that are not close or dear to them. The fear of power overcomes the fear of death in their minds.
But some of them were fighters in Donbass. This rabble is simply afraid that they will have to pay for what they did in the Donbass, for which it was still considered a feat in Ukraine. But for these people, the fear of death outweighs the fear of being captured.
At the beginning of the operation, all combat-ready units of the 79th Brigade were stationed in the Donbass and preparing for an attack on Luhansk. After the outbreak of hostilities, the brigade was reinforced with conscripts summoned bythe mobilization. Even those who were discharged for health reasons were detained on the streets.
On March 14, this rabble in the amount of 200-300 people, without any training in weapons handling, combat coordination, was brought to the Krasnoe settlement with only rifles, without armor and artillery. And he was ordered to "hold the line." They didn't do very well. After the first shelling and clashes with units of the Russian army, the commanders abandoned their soldiers and left, and the soldiers were ordered to "fend for themselves." In short, save yourselves the best you can.
Some of them were lucky enough to get to the units of the Russian army and surrender. That is why they will soon return home to their families. And they do not sleep eternal sleep today under the ruins of their barracks at the location of the 79th Brigade like those who were "lucky" to get to Nikolaev.
And in captivity, they abruptly "opened their eyes" to the fact that the Russian army did not want to bombard the city with AGS grenade launchers or 82-mm mortars. In the fact that the goal of the Ukrainian governor region is the destruction of Nikolaev and turn it into ruins.
Ineffectiveness of Western weapons
According to the report of NATO analysts, the Armed Forces of Ukraine and other armed formations in general ineffectively use the weapons received from the alliance countries, so they did not have the expected impact on the enemy.
Among the reasons given are the "unexpectedly effective" passive and active protection systems of Russian armored personnel carriers and aviation, as well as large losses of Western weapons during the destruction of warehouses and the destruction of logistics columns.
