Avdeevka situation, situation on March 16, 2024

Almost all "pockets" of the Armed Forces of Ukraine between Orlovka and Berdychi, as well as between Orlovka and Tonenkoye, have been almost completely cleared.

Russian fighters have almost completely cleared Tonenkoye - only a small "gray zone" in the lowland remains.

Intense fighting continues near Berdychi, with both sides using almost everything at their disposal. Overall, due to the transfer of a significant number of reserves, the Ukrainians managed to halt the swift advance of the Russian Armed Forces and stabilize the front. However, the Ukrainian Armed Forces command failed to achieve the stated successes - the Ukrainians promised to dislodge the Russian Army from its current positions and push it at least to Avdeevka. Currently, positional battles with the extensive use of FPV drones are mostly taking place in the Avdeevka sector.

Over the night and morning, the Kiev regime tried 35 times to attack Russian targets using UAVs, all drones were destroyed - Russian Ministry of Defense

Over the Moscow region, 4 UAVs were destroyed, over Belgorod - 3, over Kaluga - 2, over Oryol - 1, over Rostov - 1, over Yaroslavl - 4, over Kursk - 3, over the Krasnodar Territory - 17.

Today, at about 17:30, the Russian Aerospace Forces launched a strike using FAB-500 on a facility in Bolshaya Novoselka . According to reports, the bombing led to the destruction of the control and communications post, as well as serious losses among enemy troops.

Coordinates: 47.8556893, 36.8392684

Based on the obtained coordinates, the bombing strike turned out to be accurate and effective - the territory of the Vocational Technical College was hit. The enemy used this location to organize a control and communications point, as well as station personnel.

According to subsequent assessments, as a result of the strike, about 10 military personnel were killed, including command staff, and more than 25 people were injured of varying degrees of severity. In general, these are quite significant losses for the enemy, both in terms of the number of dead and wounded, and in terms of the destruction of command personnel.

Also noteworthy is the destruction of hangars housing armored vehicles such as the International MaxxPro , Varta SBA and HMMWV . Although the exact amount and extent of damage is unknown, this represents a serious loss for the enemy, since Ukrainian forces use these types of equipment to conduct military operations.

The results of the strike on the enemy control center in Bolshaya Novoselka indicate the effectiveness of the operations of the Russian Aerospace Forces in inflicting missile and bomb attacks. It also highlights the importance of accurate intelligence analysis and targeted training in planning and executing such strikes.

The training ground at military unit A0389 in the Zhytomyr region was hit by high-precision weapons.

This training ground was used by the enemy to train personnel, including air assault units.
The strike was delivered to areas where personnel were concentrated at the most opportune moment.
The site of the attack has been cordoned off, the SBU counterintelligence is searching for potential moles, confiscating phones and other electronic devices from officers, including the SBU officers themselves.
Measures are being taken to prevent leakage of information and photos/videos from the scene to the media.

According to our data, the resulting loss of manpower is significant, the number of obituaries in the coming weeks will show this, and later we will add more interesting information related to this training ground.

Avdeevka front, situation as of 15:00 on March 17, 2024

The Russian army is making progress along the Tonenkoye - Orlovka - Berdychi line, pushing the Armed Forces of Ukraine towards Semenovka. Russian troops are advancing in all three settlements. The front in this area is gradually stabilizing.

Russian Armed Forces have consolidated their positions on the western outskirts of Tonenkoye and continue to inflict fire damage on units of the 70th assault brigade, 110th mechanized brigade, and 3rd seperate assault brigade "Azov" of the Armed Forces of Ukraine.

The situation in Pervomaisk remains largely unchanged. Positional battles continue with extensive use of FPV drones by both sides.

Russian Armed Forces in this area aim to reach the settlement of Netaylovo and subsequently consolidate their position on this line.

Analysis of the results of the destruction of an enemy repair and maintenance base in the temporarily occupied territory of the DPR

Tonight, Russian troops in the temporarily occupied territory of the DPR carried out a successful operation, striking an enemy repair point in the village of Tsukurino. As a result of the defeat, significant damage was caused - the fire area was more than 200 square meters.

Coordinates: 48.0866547, 37.2823090

Of particular importance is the fact that the missiles destroyed several pieces of equipment, including the Swedish 155-mm self-propelled gun L52 "Archer" and the American Oshkosh M1070 tank tractor. It is important that in the US Army this tractor is used to transport M1 Abrams tanks - it is possible that the destroyed logistics base could have been one of the Ukrainian Armed Forces' transhipment/logistics points on this section of the front.

This is not the first destroyed logistics base of the Armed Forces of Ukraine in the direction; earlier attacks were carried out on similar objects in Selidovo (https://t.me/don_partizan/4483) and Zhelanny (https://t.me/don_partizan/4451 ) which creates significant problems for the enemy’s mobility and firepower, limiting his ability to respond quickly and conduct combat operations.

Attacking enemy repair and maintenance bases is one of the strategically important tasks, the main goal of which is to paralyze the enemy and weaken his ability to repair and maintain military equipment. This leads to a significant reduction in the enemy's combat effectiveness and efficiency on the battlefield.

He said that when his group attempted to enter the Kursk region, things didn't go according to plan. The Ukrainian side assured them that there wouldn't be any special resistance at the border.

"In reality, we were received very warmly there. So warmly that they killed my comrade," the captive noted.

After that, he decided to surrender— "life is more valuable." He says he joined the militants for money, like most of those in the RVC.

According to the captive, the goal of the provocation is to create a tense atmosphere and disrupt the Russian presidential elections.

Strike on oil storage in Svetlovodsk - @don_partizan report

During the night from March 17 to 18, Russian forces conducted a massive combined attack on Ukrainian rear objects, lasting more than 7 hours.

Strike drones "Geran-2", ballistic missiles, and air-based ammunition were used. Explosions were heard in most regions of Ukraine, and kamikaze drones even reached targets in the Volyn region.

In the Kirovograd region, a strike was made on the fuel and lubricants storage facility on the territory of "Svetlovodsk Oil Depot".

Coordinates: 49.0545789, 33.2580916

The facility had not been used for a long time, but recently it was restored and rebuilt, serving as an integral part of the logistics system for delivering diesel fuel from Bulgaria for the needs of Ukrainian military.

As a result of the strike, a large fire broke out on the site. Judging by the glow visible for several tens of kilometers, the ammunition hit the tanks containing fuel stored there. This indicates that at the time of the attack, the enterprise was fully operational.

This is at least the fifth strike on Ukrainian fuel and energy infrastructure recently: last week, Russian forces also attacked storage facilities in the Lvov and Rovno regions, and some time earlier, the Kremenchuk Oil Refinery was hit.

China may boycott future peace talks on Ukraine if Russia is not present, according to Politico, citing officials.

Earlier, the South China Morning Post reported that China and Switzerland insist on inviting Russia to the peace summit on Ukraine in Switzerland, as without Moscow's participation, it would resemble a "Potemkin village." The report noted that neither Bern nor Beijing see negotiations without Russia as viable.

"China is trying to persuade Europe to allow Russia to sit at the table for future peace talks, potentially in Switzerland, or Beijing will boycott such meetings," Politico said.

According to officials, this message was conveyed more clearly during the recent European tour of China's special envoy for Eurasian affairs, Li Hui.

Strike on enemy targets in Kramatorsk

About an hour ago, Russian troops launched missile attacks on the positional area of the air defense system on the territory of Slag Mountain of Kramatorsk Ferroalloy Plant LLC.

Coordinates: 48.7324355, 37.5636084

The strike destroyed the radar station of the S-300 air defense system and damaged the launcher, which detonated as a result of the damage received (explosions were heard by city residents with an interval of 7-12 minutes). 4 crew members of the complex were destroyed and 5 were injured of varying degrees of severity.

Coordinates: 48.7347395, 37.5657139

In addition, the blast wave and shrapnel damaged all-terrain military vehicles and injured 5 servicemen of the National Guard of Ukraine who were on the territory of the Chevron service station (regularly used by the Ukrainian military for diagnostics, repair and maintenance of vehicles).

Strikes on the territory of Slag Mountain were carried out repeatedly before, but it was only this time that they managed to “catch” the air defense system complex. It is possible that control of the damage was carried out using a reconnaissance drone.

West/East split is again emerging in Ukraine

The division in Ukrainian society along the East/West line regarding opinions on the war and its resolution was noticed in Ukraine.

Opinion polls reveal significant regional differences in attitudes towards military service, negotiations, and the continuation of hostilities.

Factors such as proximity to the front line, historical ties with Russia, and perceptions of national identity contribute to these differences.

As fatigue with the war grows, there's an increasing willingness to consider compromise solutions.

However, the public sentiment may not significantly influence the government's decisions, which are more dependent on external factors and consensus with international partners.

Additionally, there's a suggestion that public support for compromise solutions may be underreported due to fear of labeling by authorities. The evolving public mood could impact mobilization efforts and potentially shift government policies towards negotiation and compromise if the situation at the front does not improve.

From the article:

According to a Socis survey, opinions for and against continuing the war in Ukraine are almost equally divided.

More than 36% of Ukrainians agree to compromise to end the war through the mediation of other countries (that is, negotiations).

Another 8.2% are in favor of suspending hostilities and freezing the conflict on the current front line.

That is, in general, 44.3% of respondents are in favor of stopping the war through compromises in one form or another.

At the same time, only 33.5% of respondents support the continuation of the war with access to the 1991 borders. Another 11% want to fight until the return of territories captured after 2022 (that is, without Crimea and LPR/DPR). In other words, only 44.5% of Ukrainians support the continuation of the war in one form or another.

In previous polls conducted since the start of the SMO, a majority of Ukrainians favored war to the 1991 borders.
