I am a Ukrainian. My country has been invaded by Russia. In this video I will tell you what happened on the four hundredth day of the war.Day 400: March 30Last time I told you that the situation to the north of Avdiivka has stabilized, and the Russians did not secure any additional ground.The freshest reports suggest that the area under Russian control is actually smaller than previously estimated. As you remember, during the previous Russian offensive campaign, they were supposed to capture 2 out of 3 remaining Ukrainian positions. The Russian side recently released combat footage showing how they assaulted and captured a Ukrainian strongpoint north of the settlement. It looks like Russian forces used at least 4 armored vehicles and a lot of infantry. They managed to suppress Ukrainian fire and get close to the trenches, and gradually push the Ukrainians westward. The video also shows that at least a full squad of Ukrainians managed to get away. It looks like there are at least two trench networks still under Ukrainian control: one in the western part of the village near the lake and one east of the lake in the tree line. Today Russian sources reported that they tried to get closer to the trenches but only engaged in positional fights with no changes to the front line. The updated setting indicates that Novobakhmutivka is still under partial control of Ukrainians, although due to the geography, the positions inside the village itself have almost no tactical value because it is located in a deep valley, so whoever controls the trenches on the hills around it, is the one who controls the settlement. This also explains why Russians are attacking the trenches in the tree line from the south and not from the settlement itself. Ukrainian sources also reported a lot of actions around Krasnohorivka. Ukrainian Assault Drone detachment from the 110th Brigade showed how they effectively prevented another Russian attack. The video features another instance of tight cooperation between artillery and drone operators and shows how the spotted assault squad gets destroyed by artillery fire. Another footage shows the aftermath of an assault from Krasnohorivka that Russians managed to realize. Here Russians lost at least two armored fighting vehicles and around a dozen troops. As seen from the map, Russian forces remain vulnerable to counterattacks from the north, so they started taking measures to protect their flanks by mining the areas suitable for potential counterattacks. Unfortunately for Russians, Ukrainian drone operators from the 110th Brigade spotted a pile of mines that Russians prepared to use and burned it down. So, Ukrainian drone operators are dealing a lot of damage to Russian forces, and their situation is about to deteriorate even further because Ukrainians have recently relocated to Avdiivka, the most famous drone formation, which is Madiar’s Birds Drone Battalion. Russian assaultmen from the 5th Brigade recently posted a video where they said that their battalion was completely annihilated in suicidal attacks from Vodiane. The battalion initially had 161 soldiers, but after sending one squad after another, only 19 of them are still alive. They said that they were forced to attack because anti-retreat forces in the back threatened to kill everyone who refuses the order. And this is one of the best troops that Russians have because many of them have prior combat experience after fighting in Donbas in 2015 as volunteers. Simultaneously, Russian mobilized soldiers said that after completing the training for artillery, instead of artillery, they were given guns and were sent to Donetsk to storm Ukrainian positions. Their families also made a public appeal to the president. Today, British Intelligence also reported that Russians are preparing to mobilize 400 thousand more people. In order to mitigate country-wide discontent, the mobilization is planned to be announced as voluntary. They already tried to gather at least one battalion worth of volunteers in each region and failed, so if they couldn’t find even close to 50 thousand volunteers, they are unlikely to have 400 thousand more. In reality, recruitment offices will just covertly mobilize whomever they can to fulfill the quotas. And some Russian citizens also started mentioning that, for some reason, they received letters from the recruitment offices with a kind notice to check whether their registered address was up to date in their system.
