UPDATED: Battle For Bakhmut On May 11, 2023 : Ukraine Declares New Victories (Video 18+)

Click to see full-size image

UPDATE: Prigozhin said that the Ukrainian offensive has already begun, and Zelensky’s statement that it was allegedly delayed is an informational cover of the operations.

On May 11, there were additional reports that the AFU managed to take control of some areas in the Bakhmut region. Russian units of the 4th separate motorized strike brigade and the 374 separate motorized battalion lost some of their positions  northwest of Kleshcheyevka. At the moment, the positions have been returned by Wagner fighters who came to the rescue.

The situation on the flanks of the Wagner PMCs, which were previously given under the control of the units of the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation, remains tense.

The heavy battle for the city of Bakhmut continues. Wagner fighters are slightly advancing on the city streets despite the lack of ammunition supplies, while some units of the Russian Army failed to save control of some areas on the city outskirts; and Ukrainian forces continue claiming new victories.

On the evening of May 10, the head of Wagner PMC Yevgeny Prigozhin reported that his fighters took control of 50,000 square meters more in Bakhmut. During the day, they advanced 170 meters deep into the Ukrainian defence in the western district of the city. The Ukrainian military is still in control of an area of about 2.25 square kilometers.

In the north-western part of the city, Wagner fighters are advancing along Medvedev, Chernyakhovsky, Tolbukhin streets. They took control of the post office and are storming Ukrainian strongholds near the Olympic Reserve school.

From the city center,  Russian forces are advancing along Yubileynaya street, capturing multi-storey apartment buildings floor by floor. The assault units of the Wagner PMC have also captured more Ukrainian positions near the intersection of Levanevsky and Defenders of Ukraine streets.

In the south of Bakhmut, Wagner fighters reached 1st Lesnaya Street. Clashes along Chaikovskoho street continue.

Meanwhile, on the city outskirts clashes continue between the Armed Forces of Ukraine (AFU) and units of the Russian Army. While loosing in the city, the AFU began launching counterattacks on the outskirts.  On May 9, Ukrainian units managed to repel Russian forces from some of their positions along the road east of the village of Stupochki. The Ukrainian advance was stopped by Wagner fighters who were urgently deployed on the spot. LINK

On May 11, new Ukrainian advance was reported on the western outskirts of Bakhmut. According to the military reporter who close to  Wagner, units of the 9th Motorized Rifle Regiment of the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation left the forest belt and fortified area near Khromovo. Retreating northward to a depth of 600 meters, they lost control of the section of the Chasov Yar—Bakhmut road.

As a result of another counterattack of the AFU, the same 9th Motorized Rifle Regiment of the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation also lost a section of the front up to 650 m wide and up to 600 m depth in the Bogdanovka area. Ukrainian advance was reportedly again stopped by the Wagner reserve units deployed on the spot.

Meanwhile, Ukrainian military reporters are celebrating their small victories, exaggeration that the AFU had reportedly captured up to 5 square kilometers, advancing deep into Russian defence. These claims were not confirmed and obviously do not correspond to reality.

Head of Wagner PMC Yevgeny Prigozhin has been constantly warning that the AFU had accumulated large forces necessary for offensive operations in the region. In their turn, Russian units need to be provided with all necessary equipment to defend their positions and Russian servicemen should get ready for the upcoming escalation on the flanks, where the AFU will try to deblokade Bakhmut and regain control of the ruins, destroying the remnants of the Wagner PMC.

What a flex. Ukrainians feint Crimea and retake all of Bakhmut before Russia can even respond. They are working on encircling.

Crimea? What is this retarded cocksucker talking about. Crimea is like 200km from the front lines you stupid fuck.

AM Hants

Weird, when Crimea was only part of Ukraine from 1954 -2014. Gifted to Ukraine, by an Ukrainian Bolshevik, to thank them for their vote. What did Ukraine ever do to make the people of Crimea feel wanted? Remember, they voted 3 times to go home to Russia. Even the UK Foreign Office, officially stated in the Prime Minister’s Classified Papers (released in 2016), that Ukraine would lose Crimea, owing to their lack of investment with regards the people and infrastructure.

I remember when Russia attacked kiev, zelensky was crying, and screaming that “this is the last time you see me alive”, and demanding dialogues. Now, the same zelensky is not interested in dialogue. All because of shithole russian f***ing army.

What about Ugledar. They were fighting about Ugledar and Kremlin was winning, and suddenly it disappeared from the news. Like something very embarrassing happened.

Nie je to nič čo sa nedá zvládnuť. Ruské vojská ustúpili z taktických dôvodov na lepšie opevnené pozície. Banderovské fašistické svine teraz myslia, že majú na vrch a budú posielať nové sily, ktoré bude Ruská armády pomaly likvidovať. Pritom Wagnerovci budú postupne pomaly čistiť zvyšok mesta Bachmut. Dva týždne!!! Potom začne Ruská ofenzíva. Všetko ide zatiaľ podľa plánu. Demilitarizácia zločineckej teroristickej organizácie NATO pokračuje!!!

Well, yeah, you guys are ethereal, we are physical creations. Try thinking up complex new technologies with a clay brain. Also, you weren’t toiling on the Earth for thousands of years, being bombarded with UV and having your DNA degraded. No reproduction for you either, so you don’t deal with the effects of inbreeding and passing on faulty genes. Also, no mortality, so you can just accumulate knowledge for thousands of years. Go flex on the Angels, that would be a more even contest.

Sunny

Imagine thinking UV is the issue. Though I agree humanity is a joke(for the most part). If you want ultimate proof that most of humanity is cattle, exactly like the ruling class says, look no further than the Ukro goblins. Absolutely pathetic specimens that are good for nothing. Some cookie cutter American propaganda made those dumb fucks believe red is blue in just a few short years. Worthless people really.

Didn’t say it was “the” issue, just one of many many factors slowly degrading us over the millenia. The real problem is and always has been spiritual evil – sin.

The Russian army and their staff are a shame worthy of pity, with an army that is laughable and can’t even defend the occupied territories, it is better to stay behind its borders. Without Wagner, it would have been a rout. The defense minister should resign and NATO has better weapons than Russia.The battlefield provides this answer.

The Russian army and its general staff are being ridiculed by the Ukrainian army. They can’t even defend the conquered territories. The defense minister should resign if he’s a man. It would have been a rout without Wagner. NATO weapons are better than Russian ones.

I don’t believe it to be a matter of inability. They’re just not even trying. Too much bureaucratic red tape. They have enough FABs to turn Ukraine into a parking lot but they’re all just sitting in warehouses doing nothing.

Jean Paul France

Russian aviation is the only one that can crush enemy raids along a 1,200 km front in a few minutes, even if it loses a few planes.

Also with many slide bombs in the same line.

But there seems to be no such thing as the Russian air force, just some planes that show up from time to time.

It’s just bureaucratic sabotage. The Air force is not getting the green light from the higher ups. They also just donated 70 SU-35s to Iran so yeah.

There has been a need for them for 15 mth now. If Russia is still sitting on the fence these 500,000 will never be used, as the feelings in the Israel government and Army would get hurt.

What a bunch of horseshit trolls! The Russians have destroyed the Ukronazis and Natostan going on 4× that of these degenerates. Even Natostan leaders have said the enemies have be losing up to 10 to 1 in Bakhmut and this is the big push. Well some wheat fields in the open is turkey shoot.

Even before Ukraine coup in 2014 Russian state failed to stop and lose against western civ. The Masters of the Universe win every time a brother fights against their own brother and the children attack his own father and former protector, and this is Ukraine now, a death camp while the Masters of the Universe are trying to grab more lands to their evil empire. Its a shame what the Masters of the Universe are trying destroy and enslave us all and we are blindly following. Western civ is a charade, a circus of madness, despair and suffering, even the lesser layers and the founding stone is fake. May the stars guide us all to find the path of truth and forgot about the fakes labyrinths of the Masters, the secrets of the sphinx and hidden knowledge of pharaons are waiting to us right crossing the street. Would we see, listen or even perceive their call? Russia must survive at any cost or we all lose in the eternity of life.

So, how much did Ukraine lose, for that 600 metre gain? How valuable were the gains that Russia made, in comparison? So much media frenzy, for 600 metres, whilst ignoring how many entered the meat grinder, for that little bit of success. Was it by design? Meanwhile, the cruise missile strikes, courtesy Russia, appear to be taking out quite a large part of Ukraine and preventing their offensive from making a difference.

This is becoming one bad joke. We are told the Kids are degraded, so how come they can actually put up a fight finally? Why keep relying on Wagner? Seems to me the RF armed forces are not so good.

Why is Putin pussy footing around? Does he want victory or not? Hitler pussy footed too, snatching defeat from victory. End the damn thing!!! Giving the crazies in the West more time to hatch some crazy schemes to start WWIII isn’t very smart.
