As of April 25, 2023, the situation in Ukraine remains generally unchanged.
The Wagner PMC units have not yet entered the village of Khromovo west of Bakhmut, as reported by several Russian media outlets. The Ukrainian armed forces continue to hold this settlement. Heavy fighting for control over a section of the road to Chasov Yar continues. At the same time, units of the Wagner PMC are attacking in the southern, western and northern parts of Bakhmut. Fierce fighting inside the city itself is taking place in the Samolet area and in the western half of the former military unit. At the same time, the Wagnerians have advanced to the line of Polevaya Street, entrenched on Kraynaya Street and advanced to Zabolnitsa. Russian units attempted to advance towards Orekhovo-Vasilevka. Strikes were launched against Ukrainian positions in the Stupochek, Chasov Yar, Red, Grigorovka, Markovo, Vasyukovka, Sporny and Pereezdnoye districts.
The commander of the special operations forces of Ukraine Viktor Khorenko met with the Ukrainian military in Bakhmut. He called the situation in the city “complicated,” while expressing the opinion that the servicemen know “how to act in the current conditions” better than others.
Russian servicemen hit targets in Gremyach, Leonovka and Galaganovka in the Chernihiv region, as well as in Stukalovka, Pavlovka and Volfino in the Sumy region. In Kharkiv Region, the Russian Armed Forces conducted operations against a concentration of enemy forces in Udykh, Veternyorny and Ambarny. In Starobelsk direction, Russian artillerymen shelled strongholds of Ukrainian formations in Kamenka, Yampol and Dvurechna. Russian forces attacked in the areas of Belogorovka and Torskoye, as well as near Nevskoye and Makiivka. Strikes were carried out against positions of Ukrainian units in Novoselovskoye.
Lieutenant Colonel Andrei Marochko (retired) of the LPR People’s Militia said that the Ukrainian armed forces use Soviet tractors to evacuate the wounded due to the lack of specialized equipment. At the same time, the equipment supplied by NATO countries for this purpose cannot cope with the weather.

Reports have emerged that the AFU is preparing a counterattack after May 2, 2023. The head of the Wagner PMC, Yevgeny Prigozhin, said this in the media. Whether the Russian businessman can be trusted in this matter is not yet clear, as he still does not miss an opportunity to promote his project.
The story of the destruction (https://t.me/dimsmirnov175/46700) in Ukraine of a control bunker with generals and senior officers of NATO countries has reached the American public.
Independent political scientist, journalist Gilbert Doctorow: [Sorry, I was trying to google what you called news that I had not heard about. What is this news?] After the Ukrainians sabotaged the Bryansk region, which is part of the Russian Federation, in which several people were killed, the Russians staged a retaliatory attack, using for the first time six of their hypersonic missiles called “Dagger”. One of them fell near Lvov, the western capital of Ukraine. And this conventionally armed missile, thanks to the laws of physics that mass and speed give a huge impact, allowed this missile to go down and destroy a deep concrete bunker where 300 top Western and Ukrainian officers were managing communications on behalf of NATO in Ukraine. Yesterday the Russians again announced, very discreetly, that 200 of those killed were NATO generals and high-ranking officers. Did you read about it in The New York Times? [No.] Didn’t read.If you read about it in The New York Times, it would cause huge unrest in the States and lead us to escalate the nuclear exchange. Of course, the Americans don’t want that. The Russians don’t want that either.
Why does almost all news websites say NATO active duty troops are mercs when it’s all lawyering; just a label change? They are NATO active duty troops feigned to be retired as they enter Ukrohoholand.
Even the Russian MoD covers for all these NATO troops. Idk why.
