Kharkiv
In the area of Kazachaya Lopan, the Russian army took 2 villages. Fighting continues in the area of Russkaya Lozovaya. Ukrainian forces counterattacked in the direction of Stary Saltov, near Seversky Donets.
Izyum Front - West
According to military correspondents on the ground, in the direction of Izyum, battles are being fought for Bolshaya Kamyshevakha (to the West)
This city is important, because if it is taken, one of the main transport arteries connecting the Donbass with the Kharkov region will be cut off, and there is a possibility of developing an offensive in all directions, in particular to the southwest to encircle the Ukrainian army and the National Guard battalions that have settled in the Slavyansk-Kramatorsk agglomeration.
The attack continues in Kurulka and Pashkovo (to the South), there is information that Dovgenke was taken.
Three days ago there were reports of fighting for Novaya Dmitrovka, the last settlement before Barvenkovo.
According to Rybar, there is a Ukrainian counterattack on Izyum from the west.
The Russian army attacked the pontoon bridges laid by the Ukrainian Armed Forces across the Seversky Donetsk River near the village of Zavgorodne. But apparently, the Ukrainian command does not give up its intention to cross the river and again tries to isolate the group in Izyum.
It seems that in the advance to the south from Izyun the Russians left aside forces in the west, along the Oskol River, a force tried to counterattack and has been pocketed, but the Ukros still keep the river further south and threaten to blow up the dam of the reservoir, it would have bad consequences since the flood would take the pontoon bridge but now that I think about it the bridges of Izyum are held by the Russians so it would not affect them
Izyum Front - South
14:00 hours
To the south, the Yampol cleanup has been completed, a pontoon bridge or ferry across the Seversky Donets River is expected to be built here. Krasny Liman is surrounded and Russian troops have entered the city.
This information is confirmed at 20:00 by local residents. Locals pass Russian roadblocks on their way from Liman to Slavyansk. The Russians check the documents and recommend leaving the area as quickly as possible. Krasny Liman is already half-fenced.
Krasny Liman is a city of 20 thousand inhabitants and the enemy has prepared for a long and hard resistance.
15:00 hours

"After the defeat of the Ukrainian armed formations in the Yampol area, Russian troops and People's Militia forces managed to approach Krasny Liman. The loss of Liman for the Ukrainian troops can mean only one thing - to retreat further, in the direction of the aforementioned Slavyansk. However, in this case, most likely, the Russian forces will focus on taking control of Nikolayevka first. This is a city with a population of about 14 thousand people, which is of particular importance during the operation to liberate the Donbass.»
"The fact is that Nikolayevkis located on a hill relative to Slavyansk. Accordingly, in the case of a successful operation on Nikolayevka, an additional advantage will arise over the militants located in the Slavyansk-Kramatorsk agglomeration.»
Experts believe that in the event of the loss of Nikolayevka by the Armed Forces of Ukraine and national battalions, their chances of keeping Slavyansk will be minimal. However, for the complete defeat of the enemy group in this area, control over one more height is also needed. This is Mount Karachun. Its highest point is approximately 167 m above sea level. It allows you to keep Slavyansk under fire control.»
Lugansk
Fierce fighting on Popasnaya, the Ukrainian army is sending all available reserves there, pulling them out from other directions, but the liberation of the city is underway, now Ukrainian troops are entrenched in the area of the car repair plant. The capture of Popasnaya allows our troops to gain space for maneuver.
Donetsk
In the Avdeyevka area, Russian artillery shells with accuracy and force, this fortified area is considered one of the most powerful in defense. TOC "Solntsepyok thermobaric rocket launchers are employed, the assault battalion "Somalia" was transferred here from Mariupol, and the battalion "Sparta" is fighting here.
"In this context, it is important to note that after yesterday's advance of the battalion of the People's Militia of the DPR "Somalia" from the enemy's front lines on Avdeyevka, it was possible to get the Ukrainian units in the Western part of this city into a "fire bag", that is, the enemy's positions are beaten from various directions, including from the East and North. At the moment, there is a methodical "grinding" of enemy forces in the Avdeyevka area, including with the use of artillery and rocket launchers.»
On the Gulyai-Pole-Velikaya Novoselka line, there are still no changes, the artillery is working, literally laying waste to the positions of the Ukrainian army.
South Front
General Staff of the Armed Forces of Ukraine: In the south of Ukraine, the Russian army continues to fight to expel the Armed Forces of Ukraine from the borders of the Kherson region and create favorable conditions for an offensive in Nikolayev and Krivoy Rog
The main efforts are focused on the direction of Krivoy Rog. The Armed Forces of the Russian Federation involved in the leadership of Nikolayev, carry out the regrouping
Other reports and news of interest
In Belgorod, the Ukrainians, perhaps using drones, managed to bomb an ammunition depot in Tomarovka to the west northwest of the city, and in Kursk they sabotaged a freight railway bridge.
Chronicles of Liberation - Rubezhnoye
"The impressions of the trip to Rubezhnoye liberated (LNR) are very different. On the one hand, the city is in ruins, especially the part where the Aidar soldiers and other gangsters are entrenched, on the other, its citizens, who have already come out of their basements after the artillery bombardment has ceased to clean the streets.
The sour aromas of alder and lilac cherry trees are mixed with the sweetish and unmistakable smell of rotting flesh from carcasses. People don't have enough drinking water, no electricity, and they don't even talk about gas. Humanitarian aid is distributed strictly aswithout crowding and shouting: elderly people and mothers have priority in the queue. Everyone helps each other. When journalists see us, they run to tell us their pain, each one has his own. They need to talk. Everyone understands this: the military, us and journalists.
No one has said that their homes were destroyed by the Russian army. But about the atrocities of the Ukrainian national battalions there is talk everywhere. I was impressed by the woman's words
– Everything ended quickly for us, and in the Donbass they endured for 8 years. We voted for the Lugansk Republic. I called my son in Orenburg – we are alive.»
War crimes: shelling of the civilian population of Donbass continues
Marina Kharkova Donetsk, 29 April
About the shelling yesterday (April 28) in the Donetsk market. This afternoon they have bombed again with a barrage of a hundred Grad rockets, fortunately it seems that it caused few victims.
"When the rockets hit the Tekstilshchik market in the Kirovsky district, I was there, buying fruits and cookies for the visit to the wounded soldiers in the hospital. The shelling began suddenly, after the roar of the explosion there was a shock wave that deafened everyone. The epicenter of the impacts fell on the economic part of the market. After the explosions, a column of smoke rose, flames rose as the containers caught fire, and people screamed. Some ran to help the victims, others called the emergency services, and others hastily fled. The parking lots were immediately emptied, and there were accidents on the road - everyone tried to leave the place of the bombing at high speed and collided at intersections. They were afraid of repeated arrivals: the experience of life in a frontline city showed that bombs often fall into the same crater. For eight years, Ukrainian militants have been shooting well and know for sure that wherever the gunners hit the city, there will be casualties and destruction everywhere. After the shelling, time seemed to slow down, the smell of burning floated in the air, then the sirens of several ambulances traveling one after another and rescue vehicles of the Ministry of Emergency Situations of the DPR sounded. Rescuers rushed to the rubble of the pavilions, where the wounded and dead lay. They were carried away on stretchers, the living with their clothes torn and covered with blood, and the dead with their faces covered.»
"All the dead and injured were ordinary peaceful residents of Donetsk. Tekstilshchik has no combat positions, it's just an ordinary densely populated area. The market here is always crowded and is popular with people due to its convenience. In addition to the pavilions, there are many shopping centers, shops, cafes and various outlets. On this terrible day, someone came to buy groceries, someone worked at this market. According to the sellers, one of the victims, a young woman, a filmmaker, took her daughter with her. The girl was injured in the bombing and saw her mother die. Other victims were women of different ages and an elderly man. Another injured person could not be saved, the person died in the ambulance from a large loss of blood. The artillery attack was carried out from Grad rocket launchers from the positions of Ukrainian militants of Krasnogorovka, which is still occupied by them, located in the west near Donetsk. The city remains in the semi-ring of the Ukrainian encirclement, and the enemy conducts constant and exhausting shelling. There are no safe places anywhere else in Donetsk and this will continue until the allied forces dislodge the Ukrainian army from the western and north-western suburbs.»
As a result of the shelling of the Tekstilshchik microdistrict in the Kirovsky district of Donetsk on April 28, five people were killed on the spot, 23 more were injured, including two children. (an 11-year-old boy later died of his injuries)

Readovka news, 30 April
It is worth noting the agony of the Ukrainian forces. Which, like madmen, with a kind of frenzied rage, continues to hit the peaceful areas of Donetsk. Two full salvos of BM-21 Grad (80 rockets with a caliber of 122 mm) were fired in the center of the Petrovsky district of Donetsk. One person was killed, there are injured, dozens of houses, a school and a kindergarten were destroyed. The Tekstilshchik microdistrict was again hit by artillery. A girl was injured, and apartment buildings were also damaged. The city of Debaltsevo was bombarded with heavy Uragan rockets.. The DPR air defense shot down a Tochka-U missile over Snezhnoye early in the morning. This city is in the rear deep and it is not clear why the nazis attacked (in my opinion because their missile attacks against Donetsk are always broken and you thought that cities in the rear could be unprotected or surprise for the air defence)
There were also attacks on the Luhansk region. Heavy pumping on Stakhanov in Schastuye. There are fires, there are victims. What is it, if not agony?
Note: According to the latest count, more than two hundred civilians have been killed in these last two months, several children. If it were not for the effectiveness of the anti-aircraft that shoot down the Tochka missiles, as if they were "Hitler's revenge weapons" and the counterbattery fire that limits the havoc caused by Ukrainian artillery and rocket launchers, the dead and wounded would be counted in the thousands, as in 2014.
According to the Luhansk count
https://antimaydan.info/2022/05/nedelya_glazami_eksperta_obstanovka_na_fronte_vernye_klyatve_i_sledstvennay.html
"In the ten weeks since the beginning of the escalation on the contact line (from February 17 to April 28), the LPR representative office in the JCCC recorded 892 attacks by Ukrainian armed formations, during which the enemy fired 9,236 projectiles, including Tochka-U tactical missiles, and Uragan and Grad rockets.». As a result of the aggression of the Ukrainian U army, 19 civilians were killed and 34 were injured to varying degrees of severity. Among the victims, 5 children, one child died from his injuries. 846 residential buildings, 79 objects of civil infrastructure, including kindergartens, schools and medical institutions, were destroyed and damaged, power lines and gas pipelines were disrupted.»
"Currently, more than 300 military investigators from Russia continue to work on the territory of Donbass. All the crimes committed by the Ukrainian authorities for eight years and which continue to be committed to this day will not go unpunished.»
Artillery tactics
An enemy tank that is in a building is not easy to detect or destroy. Usually the soldiers hear only the noise of the tank and radio for artillery fire on the spot. For example, 2-3 cannons or mortars start firing. In 90% of cases, the tank will leave and everything around it where it was parked will be blown up or burned.
Even if the unit is well equipped and they have a helicopter drone for observation, this does not mean that now the artillery will surely hit the enemy armored, but an attack drone (UAV) could solve the problem with a single bomb or missile.
However, for now we are fighting the old-fashioned way: endless columns of KAMAZ trucks and Ural trucks transport hundreds of shells for round-the-clock firing.
"Vladlen Tatarsky"
The military situation in Ukraine
It is in English but it is always translated better than Russian pages. Written by an officer of the Swiss army and neutral is a good article ideal to share it on certain news sites and forums that always disqualify this blog when someone dares to mention it, and little suspected of being "Russian propaganda". Although it is already known that there is no worse blind person than the one who does not want to see..
and also, remember how it all started, with the Odessa massacre, already eight years ago
