Offensive of Russian troops: Map of hostilities

 

In occupied Vasylivka and Zaporizhzhya, the Russians shelled places where they previously announced the consecration of Easter cakes, and the attack began immediately with the start of the liturgy.

 

On Easter, the Russians fired artillery at Chuguiv and killed a 59-year-old man. In addition to constant missile strikes, Kharkiv was also shelled with Grads.

 

The 'rashists' struck 9 missile strikes on the railway infrastructure. In particular, Krasne in the Lviv region, Zdolbuniv in the Rivne region, Zhmerynka and Kozyatyn in the Vinnytsia region, and Korosten in the Zhytomyr region came under fire. The day before, the railway infrastructure of Pavlograd district was fired at with missiles.

 

9 missiles hit Kremenchug TPPs and refineries.

 

The Russian invaders fired on Avdiyivka in the Donetsk region: the coke plant was damaged.

 

The shelling of Odesa claimed the lives of eight people, including 28-year-old Valeria and her three-month-old daughter Kira, as well as Kira's grandmother.

 

The Russian troops once again fired at Mykolaiv with Smerch volley fire missile systems, and attacked the city of Ochakiv with X-35 missiles.

 

In the Sumy region, the Bilopil community was fired upon from positions located in Russia.

 

On Tuesday morning, Zaporizhzhya was hit with several missiles.

 

The Russians were unable to take Dibrovne south of Izyum, so they bypassed it and entered Kurulka and continued south to reach the route connecting Barvinkove and Slovyansk. Nova Dmytrivka was unsuccessfully attacked.

 

To the west of Izyum, the 'rashists' crossed Pisky Radkivsky and gained a foothold on the Lozove-Zelena Dolyna line in the Donetsk region, and to the south they captured part of Zarichne village and tried to advance to the Lyman, 24-29 km from Svyatogorsk and Slovyansk.

 

This advancement became possible after the complete capture of Kreminna in the Luhansk region. Also, the 'rashists' controlled most of Rubizhne and entered Oleksandrivka, 13 km from Severodonetsk. South of Lysychansk, the Russians captured Novotoshkinske village, which had previously been destroyed. As there were no surviving houses in the village, the Armed Forces of Ukraine had to retreat.

 

Nine Russian attacks were repulsed on the eastern front on Sunday and Monday.

 

On the South front, the Russians are attacking Zelene Pole and Velyka Novosilka in the Donetsk region and Orikhiv and Guliaipole in Zaporizhzhya, and are planning a large-scale offensive against Zaporizhzhya city.

 

Explosions erupted in the capital of the unrecognized Transnistrian republic, Tiraspol. The 'rashists' are allegedly preparing a small army of Transnistria to attack Odesa, but it is likely that they are doing it to distract the Armed Forces of Ukraine, which went on the offensive near Kherson.

 

In the north of Kherson region, the 'rashists' forcibly evicted Velyka Oleksandrivka. An attack on the Kryvyi Rih district is expected from here.

The Armed Forces of Ukraine went on the offensive north of Kharkiv and entrenched themselves in Bezruky, Slatyne and Prudyanka villages. The latter is located 40 km from Kharkiv and 20 km from the border. To the north of Zolochiv, Kharkiv region, the Ukrainian military liberated Udy village, 10 km from the border. There are no Russian troops west of the T2117 road.

 

The Russians tried to advance west of Izyum, but were stopped near Zavody and driven back by the 93rd Mechanized Brigade artillery, which destroyed most of both columns that were trying to advance.

 

To the south of Izyum, the 'rashists' tried to attack in the Barvinkove direction, but were stopped in the Virnopil region.

 

The Ukrainian military retreated from Shevchenkove to Bazaliyivka and Lebyazhe. Pechenigy is considered a gray zone, no one controls it, but the military of both armies pass by.

 

On the South front, the Russian 70th Motorized Rifle Regiment tried to make a breakthrough in the Zelene Pole area - between the positions of the Ukrainian 53rd Mechanized Brigade in Temyrivka and Velyka Novosilka in the Donetsk region. They were caught in the crossfire. Though, they did not retreat and unsuccessfully tried to move forward.

 

The Ukrainian 59th Motorized Brigade units quickly stopped a massive attack on Orikhiv and a Russian attempt to bypass the city. The Russians lost a lot of equipment and retreated. The offensive on Gulyaipole was also stopped, the Russian invaders did not even reach Malynivka.

 

In the Velyka Oleksandrivka district, Kherson region, as well as in neighboring villages, the Ukrainian defenders destroyed an ammunition depot and a large number of Russian personnel.

 

The Main Intelligence Directorate reported that on April 22, the Armed Forces of Ukraine attacked the forward command post of the 49th Russian Forces Army which, contrary to combat installations and common sense, was located at an insignificant distance from the line of combat clashes in the Kherson region. During the meeting, there were about 50 officers at the headquarters, including 3 generals and the commander of the 49th Army. He and another general died, the third is in critical condition. While the Russian invaders were recovering from the blow, the Armed Forces of Ukraine liberated 8 villages, including Chornobayivka in the Kherson outskirts.
