Instrument factory in Izyum
One of the main hotspots on the Donbass front lines is the town of Izyum and the nearby areas.
After the recent advance to the south of Izyum, the DPR, LPR and Russian forces temporarily suspended their offense in the area. Meanwhile, the AFU command is reinforcing the positions in Barvenkovo and nearby areas to Izyum, likely preparing a counter offensive.
However, a major AFU offensive on the town is risky, as Barvenkovo remains almost the only direction from where it may be launched. North of Izyum, the AFU grouping deployed in Chuguev suffers the constant artillery shelling by Russian forces from the south of Kharkiv.

South of Izyum, the AFU positions were repulsed for tens of kilometers. Amid fierce resistance of the AFU, Russian forces advanced to the south and southeast of Kamenka in the direction of Barvenkovo and Slavyansk. The villages of Brazhkovka and Sukhaya Kamenka are now under the Russian control.

The main front lines pass through the small village of Suligovka, located 18 kilometers to the south of Izyum. The remnants of the AFU in the village continue their resistance in this heavily fortified area. Fierce artillery clashes continue.
The town of Izyum is almost completely secured. The mop up operation on the southern outskirts of the town is finished.
Recently, Russian military shared footage made in the Mount Kremenets located in the southern part of the Izyum. It was one of the main strongholds of the AFU during the clashes for Izyum, from where the whole town and its outskirts were shelled from.
Another important stronghold of the AFU in the southern areas of Izyum was an instrument factory, which was fortified and used as a military base by Ukrainian soldiers.
On April 7, the Russian Ministry reported that the factory was under the control of Russian forces. The plant produced components for armored personnel carriers, which are currently used by the AFU on the front lines. Russian soldiers reported that almost nothing was taken out from the factory when it was left by the AFU. A lot of documents were discovered, including various contracts for the supply of equipment, like optical guidance systems for missiles.
Russian military shared footage of foreign-made weapons captured from the AFU after fighting, including portable Stinger anti-aircraft missile systems, various anti-tank missiles systems, as well as weapons and ammunition of Ukrainian production
” These are weapons found at the instrument factory in the town of Izyum. As you can see, basically all weapons are foreign-made. Here is a MANPADS Stinger. They are found in almost every location, no matter where we come, there are at least 5-10 pieces. A very good German-made grenade launcher.
This element of an anti-tank guided missile is already Ukrainian-made, but all components are still from Soviet times.
This is Sweden. We can observe. In fact, we can say that the whole Europe is fighting against us.
This surveillance and fire guidance system is designed for conducting combat operations with armored vehicles. In this case, it was the E4 armored personnel carrier of the AFU, which was destroyed by the armed forces of the Russian Federation in the Izyum direction. All these weapons elements were produced at this factory.”
The Armed Forces of the Russian Federation seized a batch of the Ukrainian BTR-4 “Bucephalus” and put them into operation.
Fierce battles for Raisins lasted about three weeks. One of the main hotspots was the crossing over the Severskiy Donets River, where Russian forces were stopped by heavy artillery fire by the AFU. Ukrainian soldiers attempted by all means to prevent the Russian military from transporting equipment, fuel and ammunition to the other shore of the river.
The Russian Defense Ministry has recently published footage of the movement of military equipment on a pontoon crossing over the Seversky Donets River.
Despite the recent advance of Russian forces in the area, Ukrainian artillery continues shelling on the town of Izyum, from where civilians are being evacuated by Russian and LPR servicemen. On April 7, it was reported that the 27th Artillery Brigade of the Armed Forces of Ukraine fired from the Barvenkovo area.

As a result of the shelling dozens of civilians are wounded daily. Russian medical officers provide a necessary medical assistance on the spot. Civilians who were severely wounded or seriously ill residents of Izyum are transported to the Russia’s Belgorod region, including on board the Russian helicopters.
Everytime I see pictures of corpses I get the smell of decaying human flesh in my nostrils and nearly throw-up. I need to carry a posy.
Spoken today at Nato by the Ukrainian FM – (russians rape children) WTF IS THIS? Looks like they will do anything to get Nato involved – https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ua4Y5LD5N9c
Ukroderpsters gonna Ukroderp.
I would rather call them ukroherpese.
A bit ironic considering there’s ukrop officials who have been publicly encouraging people to kill and rape Russian women and children on live television. The NATO playbook of accusing the enemy of which you yourself are guilty yourself is honestly getting really fucking tiresome.
Most scoundrels do.
I agree. The deprivation of Russia’s right to vote in the UN General Assembly on Human Rights looks especially cynical against the background of torture and murder of Russian prisoners of war, as well as more and more testimony from civilians in Mariupol about the atrocities of Azov and the APU, as well as with orders from the APU to put tanks in the arch of an apartment building. So the Russians have hard thoughts now, but how to live with such Western scum further? and is it necessary to live with the West further?
I was wondering if the Russians making certain civilians wear a white arm band is similar to using civilians as a human shield? Certainly makes the snipers job harder.
Indeed, the Russians were preparing to be encircled in Bucha and they got some civilians as human shield. Then they got ordered to retreat and just killed the civilian prisoners since were not needed and as revenge for their comrades.
The very same west that funded the Muslim Brotherhood and later ISIS, Al Nusra, and then faked Gouta and Douma chem attacks. Backing the very same ISIS that loved to film themselves committing atrocities that Arestovych (Zelensky’s advisor) so admires. We have seen them murdering POWs and knee capping them. We have seen their videos (not Russia’s) proudly tying people to lamposts and beating them. Stripping Ukrainian citizens and whipping them. And yet you still believe the Western Media. What proof is there that Russian soldiers just kill civilian prisoners…what prisoners? Do you still believe in Father Christmas?
I told that numerous times: Russia MUST decouple itself totally from Western EU luxury whore and shithole US lapdog because they are no more than a CIA and FBI infested extension. They will always have the hidden agenda of subdue Russia to steal its enormous coveted resources by any means possible. The future of Russia is with the Asian partners for sure. China, India, Pakistan, etc…. which already are DE FACTO masters of the world economy. Even though the Ukrainian army is trained by NATO global armed robbers and it has been digging and fortifying its defensive positions with concrete and steel for the last 8 years, it is being defeated by the Russians and their Ukrainian allies. This shows the inferiority of NATO military training and the inferiority of the fighting spirit of the Ukrainian NAZI. Every day they are being pushed from 3 to 10 kilometers depending on the strength of the defensive positions. No one can fight with a culture of Russia, where heroism is celebrated. In NATO countries the only thing that is celebrated is money making and sexual perversions.
Got a link to that? All I can find is reports of Russians raping women and children. Maybe your confused ?
It’s actually U.S. politicians and Hunter Biden who do that.
If the Europeans are dumb enough to turn this into a WW3, then sure. It’s not like they haven’t seen their cities leveled before.
The Russians couldn’t even penetrate much past the Ukrainian frontier. LOL .
With what? Conventional weapons? Russia don’t have enough for Ukraine…
Of course they want to get NATO involved, they are losing big time and are desperate. But the US will get nuked if NATO gets involved, and that old man in the Whitehouse knows it, and he doesn’t want it happening on his watch.
Reminds me of the women who spoke about the raping of women in Iraq, that it occured daily by Hussein’s solders, just to convince US to attack Iraq. I am sure those we’re all lies. Most Muslim women, or any women, would not want to say such things in public, thinking it would make them look like the guilty one. Now it is they rape children. The more lies that I hear on the news, the more I doubt everything.
What’s with all the liquor bottles and passed out hohols? I think a little bit is great for steady hands. But a bottle plus gets you passed out
One ukrop lit a cigarette then the vodka went boom!

If the Brussel would send me there I would actually change sides – hang rifle over left hand shoulder, remove magazine, put white arm and leg sign on – move… showing Ursula von der believe in lies that we refuse to war with russia.
Most of us would do the same.
