Captured Ukrainian military equipment near Kharkiv
On April 12, the Russian Armed Forces and allied forces of the Donetsk and Lugansk People’s Republics continued their advance in the east of Ukraine. The most intense fighting is ongoing in Mariupol, while less intense clashes are taking place in Donetsk and Lugansk regions as well as in the south of Kharkiv region.
The cleanup operation is developing in the industrial area of Mariupol, first of all – ‘Azovstal Plant’. Azovstal remains they key stronghold of Kyiv’s forces in the city and its expected liberation will likely mark the end of large-scale clashes there. Nonetheless, even when all permanent fortifications of the Ukrainian ‘Azov Battalion’ and allied formations are eliminated, the security operation and the neutralization of dispersed Ukrainian troops in the city will require additional time.
As of April 12, the head of Chechnya, Ramzan Kadyrov, says that about 98% of Mariupol is under the control of the Russian military. The organized resistance of Ukrainian troops remains only at the “Azovstal”. According to Kadyrov the complex “had been converted into a real fortress.”
It should be noted that on April 11 the remnants of Ukrainian troops surrounded on the territory of the “Illicha” plant in the industrial area of Mariupol made an unsuccessful attempt to break out of the city.
The Russian Defense Ministry says that a group of up to 100 Ukrainian soldiers on armoured vehicles tried to fight their way out of the plant and leave the city in a northern direction.
“Air and artillery strikes foiled this breakthrough attempt. 3 Ukrainian tanks, 5 infantry fighting vehicles, 7 vehicles and up to 50 personnel were destroyed. Another 42 Ukrainian servicemen voluntarily laid down their arms and surrendered,” a statement of the Russian Defense Ministry reads.
An interesting fact is that Kyiv’s troops put Russian identification marks on a convoy of more than 30 combat vehicles and tried to escape towards Mangush, in the northern direction. Media reports claim that at least a part of the Ukrainian troops were able to avoid the strikes. Nonetheless, they were not able to break the perimeter around Mariupol.

Less intense but also important clashes continue on other frontlines in the region of Donbass. The main areas of positional fighting is Maryinka, Avdiivka in the countryside of Donetsk and the Severodonetsk-Lysichansk agglomeration in Lugansk Region. Recently, LPR troops supported by the Russian Armed Forces expanded their positions near Severodonetsk and Kremennaya-Rubezhone line (northeast of Severodonetsk). Nonetheless, no breakthroughs by any side were reported there.
Meanwhile, units of the Russian Armed Forces neutralized an attempt of Kyiv’s forces to organize a counter-attack in the area of Izum in the south of Kharkiv Region and continued to expand their foothold there. The advance of Russian-led forces from this area is gradually developing in the direction of Slovyansk and Kramatorsk.
The situation around Kharkiv city itself remains stable. Russian forces do not try to storm the city, but deliver regular precise strikes on military targets in the area.
The rest of Ukraine remains in the state of permanent chaos and security collapse. Regular reports about incidents involving organized crime, looting and shooting appear from almost all areas controlled by Kyiv’s forces. Units of the so-called ‘territorial defense’ formed by the Kyiv government are among the main sources of civilian casualties and friendly fire incidents in the Kyiv-controlled part of Ukraine.
Most recently, members of one of the territorial defense units stopped a column of civilian vehicles near the village of Zdvyzhivka in the Kyiv countryside. At least one of the vehicles was targeted by fire. 5 civilians, including a child, were killed.

Also on April 12, the Russian Defense Ministry announced that it had continued to carry out strikes on military targets in Ukraine. According to it, during the past night, strikes with air- and sea-based missiles destroyed an ammunition depot and a secure hangar with Ukrainian aircraft at Starokonstantinov military airfield, Khmelnitskiy region, as well as an ammunition depot near Gavrilovka in Kiev region.
Additionally, operational-tactical aviation of the Russian Aerospace Forces hit 32 military targets across Ukraine. These targets included 1 Buk-M1 anti-aircraft missile system near Novomikhailovka, 1 radar for illumination and guidance of S-300 anti-aircraft missile system near Zolotarevka, as well as 1 command post and 18 areas of Ukrainian military equipment concentration.
At the same time, Russian air defense means shot down 2 Ukrainian unmanned aerial vehicles in the air near Berdyansk and Melitopol.
The Russian side says that since the start of the military operation its forces have destroyed 130 aircfaft and 99 helicopters, 244 anti-aircraft missile systems S-300, Buk-M1, Osa AKM, 443 unmanned aerial vehicles, 2,139 tanks and other armored combat vehicles, 241 multiple launch rocket systems, 917 field artillery and mortars, as well as 2,046 units of special military vehicles.
Meanwhile, the international situation over the developing conflict is also escalating.
Reports appeared that the first batch of T-72M tanks, located at the base of storage of armored vehicles of the Polish ground forces in Lublin, was sent to Ukraine. Poland reportedly plans to transfer a total of 100 T-72M tanks to Kyiv’s forces.

A column of NATO military equipment moving towards was spotted in Romania. The column was moving in the direction of the border with Ukraine.
The US itself claims that weapons are delivered to Ukraine by 8-10 airlines a day and an “almost constant” by land. The current deliveries of weapons and equipment to Ukraine are focused on ATGMs, MANPADs, small weapons and ammunition. Nonetheless, recent developments demonstrates that the deliveries of heavy military equipment are also coming.
The propaganda campaign against Russia, LPR and DPR forces are also on the rise. France has sent a group of military personnel and the French Gendarmerie to Ukraine, who are together with representatives of the “International Commission on Missing Persons” (created on the initiative of the United States), will collect information about crimes allegedly committed by the Russian Armed Forces. There are no doubts what kind of “conclusions” could be made by such an independent and objective group.
These moves are accompanied by the regular and intense work of Kyiv and its friend from Western special services in staging various provocations, including those aimed against civilian population. Kyiv’s forces mined plants in Nikolaev and Rubezhnoye in order to blow them up causing leak of chemical substances and blame the ecological catastrophe on Russia.
In these conditions, the fate and format of potential diplomatic agreement between Moscow and Kyiv on the settlement of the conflict will be determined not during the negotiations but on the battlefield. Furthermore, the ongoing conflict will shape the face of the new diplomatic and security reality on the continent.
Weapon shipments to Ukraine must be destroyed before they reach Ukrainian border
Impossible. But just right when entering Third Reich is very possible.
I essentially make about $6,000-$8,000 every month on the web. It’s sufficient to serenely supplant my old employments pay, particularly considering I just work around 10-13 hours every week from home. I was stunned how simple it was after I attempted it duplicate underneath web……….. 𝐂𝐚𝐬𝐡𝐀𝐩𝐩𝟏.𝐜𝐨𝐦
So, how by air to Kiev then? Destroy Borispol control tower?
Russia should declare Ukraine a no fly zone, and shoot any planes down.
This.
The Poles and Ukries wanted a NFZ, loads of people thought it would be a good idea. The Russians should enforce it.
John that it is very clever idea thank you
And I thought that Russia had control of the skies, no?
All the stuff is moved to polish/ Slovakian/ Italian/ German air bases/ air ports, and everything is moved via polish borders on land. No NATO aircraft enters the ukranian airspace. On the flightmaps, you can see that NATO has everyday about 14 Reconnaissance airplanes in the sky which are flying along the southern and western border of ukraine to grab signals and so on …
Fourth Reich?
4th reich silly, kind of like klause schwab’s 4th industrial revolution
They are coming from the Fourth Reich and going back in time to the Third Reich.
Any country that sends weapons to the Nazis in Ukraine should be told explicitly that if they arm and fund Ukraine, their own sovereign countries and their militaries all over the world become legitimate military targets! PERIOD!! END OF DISCUSSION!!!
If you want to play, step in the ring! Don’t be cowards standing behind your proxy. If you want to fund harming Russian troops, your troops and your citizens will feel they same heat…
That’s an act of war…. Although these mass weapons deliveries is something like an act of war as well.
Duh, it just hit you now that NATO and Russia are at war?
mother of all proxy wars for sure, and one that puts everyone on the planet in grave danger. very real potential for escalation. If anything like WW3 happens from this, bootlickers like stotenbgerg need to tried and hanged, and interrogated from who their orders for their charade came from.
The City of London.
Not just the City of London. Remove the decision makers from everywhere.
Let the bottom muck suckers take care of themselves.
In a war, the bombing of munitions factories is legitimate. The problem is that the bombing of the munitions coming in, before they get in, that could escalate the war and spread it. However, half of the world is in NATO and NATO is at war with Russia, clearly. They are at war with Russia BUT the Ukrainians have their nation as the battle ground. Many Ukrainians invited the ‘hostile to Russia and to Russians’ government in. Many Ukrainians do, to various degrees, merit having their nation torn up with war. At the moment, Ukraine is containing a war of NATO against Russia. Striking military targets outside of Ukraine, could really up the ante even more and spread the warfare outside of Ukraine’s borders. Should Russia decide to do this, I think we should consider what the response may be. SHOCK may be the first one. Perhaps Russia could bomb up the borders of Ukraine or threaten to prevent ANYTHING from coming into the country.
nato will place school children on a transport marked weapons, that is their level of war here
and even if they dont they will say russia bombed a schoolbus full of children
Too bad for the kids they put on the transports then murdered by their own parents or government.
Too bad for the kids they put on the transports then, murdered by their own parents or government by them doing that.
that “pizza” is more valuable for the adrenochrome though
At the border, no point in giving NATO more excuse to intervene.
Russia cannot pussyfoot too much though. It would be even better to take them all out with their own mines as they drive on. Could there be remote detonation? Of Uki mines?
I agree but in order to avoid a wider conflict, just wait until they reach the border and as they cross, destroy them.
Striking any country sending weapons across like Poland will send a warning to USNato.
How can anyone take the US or any NATO vassal like France, seriously with regard to missing people in a conflict zone? Bigeard was putting Algerians’ feet in concrete and hurling them into the sea from helicopters seventy years ago. The US, with their IBM punch cards, still can’t accurately say how many civilians they murdered with the Phoenix Program. How many abducted and eliminated during the Global War on Terror? How about the US-sponsored Operation Condor in Latin America? Again, hurling people into the sea from aircraft is openly acknowledged in Argentina. The US imperium is a posturing joke.
Yes, the Great Whore last days are coming fast now. All theirs incredible crimes against human kind in the last 80 years will be punished by Almighty God. But, only as how the Book says in Apocalipse, means when all those immeasurable crimes will catch them from behind. I have no doubt on that. And I think the crimes against ukrainian and russian peoples fulfill perfectly this statement. The ‘number’ of theirs atrocities against human race is reached.
I listened to an interview about an “agent” who was in charge of wars in Africa in the 70s and 80s and ALL of the atrocities were done by the Western countries to make everyone else look bad. They have no scruples whatsoever about killing women, children or ANY level of brutality. They went around TEACHING how to terrorize civilian populations with TORTURE and then leaving the mutilated bodies in public places terrify the people from speaking out. “Black Ops” are nothing but state sanctioned terrorism no matter how they lie about it. Judgment Day is coming.
Strictly speaking, the whore John wrote about was the Jewish priesthood. The US is more a type of the Beast.
Black Beast=NATO and the black beast from the sea, the invading migrants. Whore of babylon/red dragon = Monetary system which feeds the evil from the US and the world.
Exactly. But the Whore is living inside/next the Beast.
Imaginary deities don’t punish, we live under The Laws of The Creation.. theyfly.com for the poorly informed.
Pinochet was of course, the finest example of the CIA’s greatest hits.
I showed my 5 year old stepson a 1940s German stamp with Hitler on it and asked him if he knew who it was. His reply: “Pinochet??”
That was in Argentina 1986 BTW.
And the noble French.. earlier.. in Minh, Indochina in 1921, 2 Bleriot biplanes, on orders from Paris, machine gunned and bombed to DEATH,10,000 UNARMED Vietnamese peasants, peacefully heading to the French Colonial HQ, to plead for lower French-imposed rice taxes so they wouldn’t starve to death! Revenge came at Dien Bien Phu, Vietnam, when a few of the Minh survivors went on to lead the Viet Cong to victory over the French.
Get your facts straight. Bleriot? Try Potez. And it was Vinh (Nghe An province). And it was in 1930. And 172 people were killed, not 10,000. Bad enough, to be sure. And there were no “Viet Cong” at Dien Bien Phu. That was a term of abuse invented by Diemist propaganda. They were PAVN (People’s Army of Vietnam) commonly called Viet Minh.
Guys, if you see Derick Lewis please get in touch. She has gone missing and the police are searching everywhere.

How is T-72M to help with anything? The armor on it is shit. Worse then even the basic armor of T-64, let alone the modernized one with ERA. T-72M doesn’t even have an electronic fire control system, they can’t hit shit, unless they are standing, the target is standing, and they have infinite time, yes with a third shoot they will hit. Those are basically a self-propelled coffins. But if that’s what they are into… xD
Yep, these Polish T-72M’s don’t appear to have any reactive armor blocks at all?! Nothing. The Soviets were putting Kontakt-5 ERA blocks on their T-72’s to defeat sabot rounds in mid 1980’s! Perhaps the Poles are just dumping old inventory to appease US demands, and are expecting new US hardware in return. But it would not be a tank that could go up against Russian ATGM’s or T-72B3 and expect to survive.
Of course that’s what they’re doing. Dumping old inventory with promises of free NATO stuff. Who controls the US Congress, if not the MIC. Well, OK, pharmaceuticals, credit card companies too but mostly the MIC. The Congressional fat cats never go on a diet. They just keep getting fatter.
Around 2015 the British dumped the worst of their old mechanized inventory on Ukraine . A cheap and rudimentary APC called the Saxon, that was conceived in late 1970’s. It entered UK service in early 1980’s, but was so low tech it looked like something from decades earlier. Basically a Bedford/Alvis bread van with light armor, and heavy tyres, that toppled over a lot due to very high center of gravity. Death trap would be another good description. Even Ukraine was skeptical about its value.
Ukraine’s banderites turned all of Ukraine into a coffin 8 years ago. It just took a while to complete. It was a very fancy coffin, with all sorts of imported parts from Europe and North America.
good to see Nato zio nazi terrorists get suicidal !!!!! zelinsky is still on drugs ?? the pupet ukro tararian jew pedo !!!
i think guido ( venezuelan pupet of Klaus the Pig ) can be president of ukronaziland now or later !!?

Lonely, crazy troll desperate for attention talks with himself again… time to switch to hans raus and go berserk 😒
US once said they could not provide weaponry assistance to Ukr as they might be destroyed on the way. They try once and succeed and now has come usual. RU air force and intel should work on this and destroy them before they reach destination.
Aside of satellites, surely Russia need only send agents to Romania and Poland border areas to identify the incoming US military aid columns in real time. In 1999 the Yugoslav’s had agents watching the Italian NATO base from where warplanes heading to attack rump Yugoslavia took off, so they could approximate the arrival times. This aiding in shooting two down, an F-16 and an F-117.
Come on Russia you can do more and bether destroy everything that moves, day and night ! ans sorry not to human, its war with the biggest basterds of this planet !
People should be grateful for all this scrap-metal being donated by NATO to help reboot the Donbas steel-industry.
Weapon send by NATO country to UA and act of war. Russia luck of action to destroyed such weapons in Poland or Romania or Slovakia is clear indication Russia is afraid of NATO
nato impotent—terrified to challenge Russia anywhere…USA lgbt military calls to Russian general—only voice machine—we don’t bother w 4th world transgender military demolished by taliban….u r international joke
@Southfront “An interesting fact is that Kyiv’s troops put Russian identification marks on a convoy of more than 30 combat vehicles and tried to escape towards Mangush, in the northern direction.”
Can you please explain this? Mangush is west of Mariupol, so how can going in the direction of Mangush possibly be going “in the northern direction” unless they were coming out of the Azov Sea and then going north? :] Which I don’t think was the case, so it would mean they they were trying to escape towards the WEST, OR the part of information about Mangush is wrong, one of those is wrong.
The Russian force have left Ukrainian north for nearly two weeks, are they blaming the killing of Zdvyzhivka on Russia again? And then insist that the car was destroyed as early as mid-March?
The atrocities against the civilian population of the Donbass has been well documented, including by Patrick Lancaster over the last 8 years. It is western propaganda to claim that Russia’s Armed Forces are deliberately targeting civilians. It has been proven time and again to be the Ukraine nationalist thugs who continue to block, and kill any civilians who attempt to flee, or leave through humanitarian corridors opened up by the Russians and LPR and DPR forces.
Is there a source available for that incident in Zdvyzhivka? Truly horrible. The T72m is not ready for deployment. The armor can be upgraded via salvaged ERA, but the sights and the fire control not. You’re essentially blind. No hunter/killer mode. Unusable. Furthermore should have the Ukraine hundreds of this model in storage. Therefore the problem is to man the tanks. Only financial incentives can explain this move.
The trend appears to be that each and every Russian front is collapsing. Kremlin needs to constantly bring reinforcements in the region to maintain its territorial gains. Each and every passing day is advantageous for Ukraine, as they are recruiting more men and receiving more weapons from the west. Each day Russia stays engaged in the war exponentially aggravates the consequences of military losses and economic sanctions. Ukraine can maintain the marshal law indefinitely, and re-gear the entire economy of the country for the war effort, a luxury which Russia cannot afford without turning the entire populace against the leadership. The odds are stacked in favor of Ukraine, no matter what the Southfront copium optimists would like to believe
crack cocaine trend create much brain damage—but you must pay for lgbt to sodomize you
Sure, and they are doing it all on foot, since the Russians knocked out their fuel dumps lol..
moping up the ukrops—hookers to Moldova, nazis to Oregon—ukraine empty except for Hungarians, a few Slovaks and Romanians
So they are bringing in these weapons by road, rail and air and Russia does nothing. I really can’t believe this.
The CQ
I don’t understand why Russia doesn’t bomb/missile attack these supplies more regularly. They should also destroy the runways at all the airports, especially Kiev.
All these vehicles will get wrecked in Ukrainian soil, just like the Slovakian S-300
Byebye Ukraine. It wasn’t nice to know you.
Maybe so. After all, they were taught by the Poles for similar reasons 100 years ago. You know, the Poles at the time didn’t want to be ruled by them, just like the Donbass are now.
It looks just like Russia is having the rules of this war dictated to them. Perhaps they should break the barriers and boundaries which NATO has put up. One of these is that hostile acts against any of the NATO nations will be punished by all of the NATO nations, unless it is on NON NATO territory. I wonder what the EXACT NATO law is here? Could it be got around by attacking NATO or weapons delivery to Ukraine on neutral seas or over neutral air space? But then, that would mean that neutral airspace and neutral seas could have the warring spread to them. Blocking all of Ukraine’s borders and sea ports and airports and a NFZ is merited. If Russia CAN track all of the deliveries to Ukraine and hunt them down before they come into use, that would be fantastic. How about getting a sacrificial ship, like Ukraine’s captured ones, putting out to sea, putting the Ukri captured weapons on it and bombing it in neutral waters or in Russian waters but so that it moves to where it can cause maximum harm to the most complicit nations in this DECEPTION. Attacking the UK, the City of London, airports and seaports used to send out the weapons and the the weapons factories may be worthwhile as the UK has been baying for Russian blood and stealing their assets the most vociferously. Also acts of war are uninsured. If this was all done within half an hour, or less, with the threat from Russia to STOP arming Ukraine, or have WWIII, will we listen? Another thing that could be done is to choose some valuable hostages. Does Russia know who the owners of Blackrock are? Perhaps lists of the most valuable hostages could be created. Could they be held hostage until a peace treaty is created?
T-72M tanks of1979, lacking protection, no modern fire control systems and bad bad sights.Wasting your already trained (?) ,I guess, tankcrews with these tanks. That really shows a certrain level of desperation. Maybe they won too much in the last weeks.
Western Ukraint should not have any operational power plants forcing mass migration to Poland. All rail lines should be severed. Any European nation that wants to supply weapons gets the same. Russia can fear or be feared.
Nato is content to have a proxy war in Ukraint with damage and death confined. Let’s see how many want war when it comes home to them.
