Ukraine Situation Report: Russian Invasion: Day: 323 solidar At A Still Closer Look:



Scenario 1 as some US commentators see it

1
There had been a time when Wagner took the town-centre,
in Solidar and in the north-western part,
Ukraine was in control, Russians did far enough enter
to be able to shell the only road remaining with which to depart,

which did trigger a quick withdrawal
while for a time Ukrainian artillery
did the Russians for just a time stall
with all the remaining Ukrainians in jeopardy

with the Russians closing in on only remaining route
that already did Russian artillery draw
in Soledar to go of that village in and out:
this danger the Ukrainians could not ignore

it astonishes how Russia could pressure maintain,
while Ukraine did on them huge casualties appertain.

2
There are so many Wagner and Russian airborne dead,
that this will probably be as far as the Russians can go,
as dabbling down on ground assaults Russians head,
as if they do not of their tremendous decimation know.

At Korolivka, Krasnohorivka, Solidar, Krasna Hora they attack
and also onto Bahkmut itself and Kachanivka southward,
where Russia is as hard as possible driving Ukrainians back
but running over their dead is awkward.

where this operational tempo they cannot maintain,
where they have a ground attack, followed by shelling,
have a kind of refit and do another ground assault sustain,
and the loss of tremendous numbers are telling,

as day after day they are being hugely decimated,
the effect can not be underestimated.

3
This might waylay any further action
as they do literally and proverbially run out of gas,
and at this time a counter-strike reaction,
could catch them pants down where they do amass,

towards Blahodatne Russia will even out the frontline
and try to both Krasna Hora and Blahodatne take,
to continue encirclement Bahkmut to undermine,
but storming it from the north over open fields will be a mistake.

Russian propaganda is already going rive with this,
but they even acknowledge its incidental,
that they have in a village victory no one can miss,
while the Ukrainian military keep striking coincidental,

do burn right through the Russian men,
as decimating they hit them again and again.

4
Out of the west there are many routes feeding
into Bahkmut and this do only cut a small one,
where Russia will have to stop Chasivyar bleeding
it dry somehow, where too many ways do outrun,

where around and between the towns
and Bahkmut there is large open spaces:
in crossing the territory Ukraine will gun them down,
as Russian much more severe decimation faces.

where defensive positions should be in place this to exploit,
to in a way cover the open aria when the Russians come,
where to Russian manoeuvres they should be adroit,
to make Russian attacks much more gruesome.

where Russia is not apt to seize tremendous territory,
to be in surrounding a threat to Bahkmut to be.


Scenario 2 the true reality

5
Russians have formed three vectors from the south, east and north
of Solidar, the route to Blahodatne cut, they try to surround the town,
most of it has been occupied as they storm forth,
soldiers are at places by drone guided artillery shot down,

where in a cave Prigozhin did tell untruth days back,
that Russia has already Solidar taken
where to Vladirmirovka cave people did him track,
while the wounded Russians are by comrades forsaken.

Prigozhin emphasize that Wagner did Solidar take
where Ukraine did sent Special Forces as reinforcements,
where he lies and to this there is no mistake:
Wagner, reservists and airborne assign-nicks has endorsements:

to fight in Solidar and that village to hit
as their different officers see fit.

6
or to together attack with the last elite forces,
equipped with body armour and night vision,
and annoyed Wagner in rift with them compete:
are against them in a kind of derision.

The order of attack is first en mass mobilized troops,
then the airborne / assign-nicks that assault effectively
over the frozen ground to strategy in their groups.
A true impression from Ukrainians of them we see

as Ukrainian soldiers on Telegram report,
report the Russian successes directly to them
as they fight well, does great pressure exhort,
where in a way Prigozhin do their impact condemn,

as if only his mercenaries are present,
act against Russian soldiers in descent.

7
At night the Wagner elite attack with night vision,
which the Ukrainian soldiers confirm,
this is why Ukraine brought Special Forces on a mission
which makes both Putin and Prigozhin squirm.

where in Solidar still Ukrainian forces hold out,
while Pidhorodne was taken in the last view days,
as the Russian artillery fire round about
Russian fight better in many ways:

are at Bakhmut attacking with kamikaze drones,
use reckon drones to strike very effectively,
are not like the mere conscript zombie clones:
they also take out some Ukrainian artillery,

while Russian artillery are running out of ammunition,
as HIMARS do destroy every known provision.

8
At Solidar Ukraine has the flanks lost:
which are to detriment high ground facing down,
where Russian artillery will be accurate at their cost,
where at a time Ukrainians will through the fields evacuate the town

but in Solidar still the fighting rages on
as Ukraine is exacting a strategic plan:
to have the very best of Russia and Wagner gone:
to burn through and destroy them to a man,

and as long as this is feasible Ukrainian forces remain,
as Prigozhin is driven in any way the village to take,
do not worry if too many casualties it to appertain,
do speak and act as if Wagner did it Russian make,

while an exacting death does even the senses fill,
as Ukrainian soldiers remain their tasks to fulfil.

9
In Solidar the Ukrainians that still remain are cut-off without food,
are well armed probably at the moment they try another retreat,
the communication with command is lost, intentions are misunderstood,

three days ago some other Ukrainians did withdraw,
(which had been the major forces in the town,)
those securing the perimeter do at Russians away gnaw,
as Ukrainian resilience and bravery are renowned:

these troops belong to 46th Air Mobile brigade,
the elite Special Forces that countered Wagner night attacks,
feeling somewhat abandoned these snipers are with the situation dismayed,
as they to survive against a overwhelming force acts,

another counterattack from Blahodatne may come,
the decimation of thousands of Russians is gruesome.

l'Envoi
10
Where there is huge Russian activity
to probably from Sevastopol move troops,
in the waters with ships in the Black Sea,
to more quick than by train transport them in their groups

which open Russians to some kinds of strikes,
again to sink as many ships as is possible,
by missiles, drones and whatever the Ukrainians likes,
where ships going in the Black Sea down,
will make the situation for the Russians impossible,
to strike at another city or town

where they are probably moving them to exploit
their offensive in Donetsk where it's hard to know:
what this is as Russia is not a great military schemes adroit,
do use missile ships death to civilians to bestow:

as if by terrorism on humanity,
they do get a kind of backward victory.

11
At Blahodatne Ukraine can stabilise the defence,
dig in to set defensive lines the Russians to face,
hitting command and supply to make pressure immense,
as well as Russians in their barracks to erase,

where already the Russian supply-lines are thin
and without ammunition, water and food
the Russians are not able to win
where also in this their morale is not good,

where their troops are out of supply,
do to survive on robberies rely.


12 On the Russian side:
At the Russian 392nd motorized rifle regiment,
in minus twenty in a trench with rifles buts they dig:
the money for the unit the commanders spent,
did to the whole unit without thought renege:
to their pockets that money went.

At a time it did rain and water in a trench did freeze:
(if the Tsar / Putin did only about this know}
to escape enemy fire they do into the trench squeeze
where to survive their in nowhere to go.

In the Russian army the first line is the mobilized troops,
then the second the normal Russian army
and third the Chechens in their groups
and I do in a video the most scared Chechens see,

they say: "the situation is hideous, the APC's are firing at us.
Guys we are being shot at, ' with terror and fear
they do the situation with each other discuss,
with the sound of automatic cannon, it's clear that APC is near.

[Poet's note:
Airborne / assign-nicks are the last of the Russian elite forces, and they are very well equipped.]
