#Pokrovsk yesterday, Russians panicked about Ukrainian attacks in Hryshyne (my post yesterday), and today Ukrokkupant reports that they resulted in the 82nd Brigade capturing 2 km² on the southwestern outskirts of the village. Keep your fingers crossed for the Boya. 🤞✊🙏

A very interesting post by General Syrski regarding the operational situation, I will draw your attention to the first sentence: "The Ukrainian Defense Forces maintain the strategic initiative and prevent Russian troops from resuming a large-scale offensive." 👍💪 www.facebook.com/CinCAFofUkra...

#Pokrovsk film was posted by Russian war correspondent Dmitry Kulko with the description: "Recording from the streets on the western outskirts of the village of Hryshyne, where the AFU is currently intensively attacking." I wrote about this, the initiative on the front is passing to the Ukrainians.

In reference to the attached thread regarding the presence of Ukrainian soldiers on the outskirts of Pokrovsk and Myrnohrad, I would like to clarify a few things. bsky.app/profile/madr...

Sergei Mironov, Duma MP, chairman of the "A Just Russia" party, former chairman of the Russian Federation Council: "Russia is dying! The main reason is poverty! Low wages make it impossible to even think about raising one child.

#ChasivYar As a reminder, in July of last year, the Russian Ministry of National Defense announced the "liberation" of the city. Meanwhile, fighting in Chasiv Yar continues, and the Ukrainian defenders, the 24th Brigade, have attached a video of their actions.

#Lyman Do you like good news in the morning? Especially since it comes from one of the most reliable channels, Shalin: "The Ukrainian Defense Forces have regained full control of Sviatohirsk, Yarova, Sosnove, and Oleksandrivka.

#Pokrovsk Colonel Mashovets: "The situation is characterized by a significant decline in enemy offensive activity (only sporadic attempts to attack individual sectors by small infantry groups of 2-3 men, rarely up to 4, are noted),

#Pokrovsk Easter couldn't have started any better than confirming that Ukrainian soldiers are still in Pokrovsk and Myrnohrad. I plan to update this direction, but it depends on how many guests come to my house over the next two days....

Best Easter wishes to all BS users. Continue supporting Ukraine, especially now that the situation on the front is slowly starting to change in favor of the AFU.

#Pokrovsk in today's Deep State update reported on the AFU's field gains. Here we have an example of the Ukrainians successfully conducting counteroffensive operations. As I wrote in my previous thread, such operations are necessary.

Of course, for several days now, "experts" (especially on the "X" portal) have been outraged by the attack that took place on March 31st, carried out by the 425th "SKALA" Regiment near Pokrovsk. This attack did not produce the expected results, only losses.

#Lyman is another area where the AFU counteroffensive has yielded tactical gains in the field. Despite Russia declaring the liberation of Yampil several months ago, fighting continued in the city, even though most of it was effectively under RuAF control.

#Slovyansk Today, Colonel Mashovets wrote a very long thread regarding current operations and future prospects for the military situation in this direction. I won't go into detail, but rather quote a conclusion:

Honestly, I expected this to happen someday, but I didn't think it would be so early in 2026. Russia is asking the US to pressure Ukraine to end the war, but the tables have turned... www.yahoo.com/news/article...

#Kostiantynivka a video of a Russian flag in the center of appeared in the Russian infosphere, confirming Gerasimov's claims that half the city was under Russian control. I'm attaching the full video, which shows the flag being dropped by a drone. Kostiantynivka is under the control of the AFU.

Z-Blogger Radov: "Do they really not realize how long these guys have been establishing connections between units and each other on Telegram and how effectively it works?Do they really not realize that soldiers and officers of the Russian army are abandoning Max and staying on Telegram at all costs?

#Oleksnadrivka great news before bed. Z-Blogger Radov reports that Ukrainian reconnaissance groups have been spotted in Temirivka (about 7 km from the front line shown on the DS map). If true, this means the main supply route of the AG "Wostok" from Velyka Novosilka to Uspenivka has been cut off 😁

Interesting conclusions regarding the Russian spring offensive, from Osman: "Despite the regular activity of enemy infantry on the front, the overall situation is very positive for us. Over time, the Russians are still grappling with the consequences of disabling Starlinks,

#Oleksandrivka 95th Airborne Brigade: "Units of the 95th Separate Airborne Brigade of Polesie have taken full control of the village of Berezove in the Dnipropetrovsk Oblast. Step by step, the paratroopers are driving the Russian occupiers from Ukrainian soil.

I browse the Russian information sphere every day, and I must admit that never before have there been so much criticism of warfare and the Russian army. Z-Blogger Yuri Kotenok has added another long post. There's no point in translaiting the whole thing, only the conclusions:

Yesterday, the largest drone strike in Ukraine during the current war took place. The Russians sent 942 drones. Despite this, Ukrenergo announced that no power outages are expected today.

You've probably all heard that Russia will soon completely block access to Telegram, replacing it with the state-owned messenger "MAX." I'm attaching a very interesting post on the subject by Z-Blogger Anatoly Radov:

#ChasivYar The 24th Mechanized Brigade named after "King Danil" defending the city, posted an epic video yesterday, documenting the recent fighting in the city.

Although today's anti-aircraft defense effectiveness results of 92% are satisfactory, it is worrying that no ISKANDER-M was shot down, let us hope that this is not due to the shortages of PAC-2 and 3, but is due to fire at unprotected areas.

A very interesting post about the current Russian offensive, by Z-Blogger Alexander Kharchenko. It seems the Russians are already realizing they can't achieve anything significant and need the right equipment, which they lack:

#Oleksandrivka, as I wrote yesterday, I was surprised to read that the Russians have also taken the offensive in this direction, where Ukraine currently has the best-equipped and battle-hardened units and holds the initiative.

Well, Russians themselves see that the recent increase in the price of a barrel of Ural oil is not at all related to an increase in their budget revenue. There are other factors along the way that influence profits. I invite you to read the article. www.kommersant.ru/doc/8515276

After reading the reports from the 3rd and 7th Corps about the disastrous Russian attacks at Lyman and Hryshyne, I'm no longer surprised by the massive Russian losses reported by the GSUA during the first days of their offensive.

#Kupyansk Z-Blogger Yuri Kotenok describes the situation in the city "liberated" by the Russians almost six months ago: "The situation in Kupyansk is a benchmark for the entire Special Military Operation. A specific benchmark: will they remember,

Colonel Mashovets's interesting conclusions after several days of the Russian offensive: "Considering the dominant tactical method of organizing and conducting offensives within the Russian command (this potential lies primarily in the infantry),

Of course, additional revenues to the Russian budget are a problem for Ukraine, and the Gulf War and the higher value of a barrel of oil are causing precisely this effect. However, the economy cannot be viewed through just one lens.

A very interesting post by Z-Blogger and retired soldier Yuri Kotenok: "Our TV 'stars' are accustomed to impressing on viewers that the enemy in Ukraine is almost defeated. But at the beginning of the fifth year of Special Operations in the zombie box,

If anyone is surprised that the GSUA reported 1,710 Russians eliminated this morning, consider that a staggering 268 Russian offensive actions took place yesterday. It appears the spring-summer offensive has begun.

The air defense's effectiveness was over 92% in shooting down air targets, and 100% in shooting down modern long-range cruise missiles. Simply amazing 👍💪👌

I have a thought regarding the following thread. The Kremlin sees that after four years of economic devastation resulting from the war, no increase in oil prices can plug the budget gap. Their only hope is to convince Europe that they can buy much cheaper Urals crude,

Everyone is watching the rising prices of Ural oil with concern. The question is how much the Russian budget can actually earn from this increase. Sergei Vakulenko, an expert at the Carnegie Russia Eurasia Center, answered this question:

Great article on losses, production and repairs of Russian MBTs, a must read! war.obozrevatel.com/vojna-s-ukra...

#Zaporizhzhia Ukrokkupant has once again geolocated available videos showing the fighting for Prymorske. This allows us to roughly determine the situation in the village. Let's take a closer look.

A very interesting post by Osman, who explains the reasons for such a high level of drone development in Ukraine: "Our unmanned units currently occupy leading positions in the world.

Z-Blogger and journalist Anastasia Kashevarova is not happy with the missile attack on the Kremniy El factory in Bryansk and expresses some reservations about the actions of Russian air defense 🤪🙃: "The Ukrainian Armed Forces' attack on Bryansk, as they say, is using Storm Shadow cruise missiles.

"The budget is in ruins." The Ministry of Finance announced a "gap" in the state treasury amounting to 3.4 trillion rubles, which has opened up in just two months. In my opinion, a war with Iran can only delay the catastrophe.... ru.themoscowtimes.com/2026/03/10/b...

In both the Ukrainian and Russian infospheres, only Iran and oil are mentioned. There's little news from the Ukrainian-Russian front, but I found an interesting post by Z-Blogger Roman Saponkov about Iran, but it refers to the war in Ukraine:

#Huliaipole Yesterday, Shalin geolocated numerous Russian positions in Zaliznychne (west of the city), thus concluding that the AFU had abandoned Huliaipole. However, this is not true, as Ukrokkupant reported Ukrainian activity in the city and ongoing fighting there. bsky.app/profile/madr...

#Huliaipole Shalin geolocated Ukrainian airstrikes on Russian positions in Zaliznychne and concluded that the number of Russians in the village indicates that the AFU has withdrawn from Huliaipole. I have a lot of material on this direction and will try to do a more detailed update.

I've deleted my post below and I'll explain why. It's not that I've thought it through and disagree with what I wrote yesterday. It's about the reaction it provoked. Please note the number of likes, comments, and reposts.

#Kupyansk Z-Blogger Romanov: "March 3, 2026, Kupyansk District, Kharkiv Oblast, Ukraine. Current situation: Most of Kupyansk is still under the control of the Ukrainian Armed Forces. Separate groups of the Russian Armed Forces are hiding in the city's basements, including its central part.

#Pokrovsk 7th Corps officially: "The enemy is not giving up its attempts to completely capture Pokrovsk and Myrnohrad. However, the Ukrainian army maintains certain positions on the northern outskirts of both towns." In case anyone had any doubts... 👍

Seeing the intensity of the air combat during the US operation against Iran, President Zelensky expressed concern about the use of large numbers of PAC-2 and PAC-3 missiles for the PATRIOT systems. This could lead to a shortage in Ukraine. babel.ua/en/news/1253...

#Oleksandrivka, how are operations progressing in this area, where the largest Ukrainian offensive since the Kursk operation is underway? Thanks to Ukrokkupant, we can learn about the differences between the actual situation and what Deep State depicts on its map.
