Russ'n Roll: Latest Update on the Donetsk People's Republic Ruckus

Battle Cry in the East

Last week, the mighty Russian troops made some headway in their special military operation zone and seized control over three villages in the DPR. According to the Russian Ministry of Defense report, the enemy took a tough blow, with an estimated 9,500 combatants going down for the count.

Here's a breakdown of how it all went down:

Liberation of Lipove - The "West" troops, led by some heavy-hitters, nabbed the populated area of Lipove in the DPR. The enemy suffered a whopping 1,495 casualties, losing not only two tanks and ten armored combat vehicles but also two US-made M113 armored personnel carriers, two reactive systems of volley fire, 62 vehicles, and 26 field artillery pieces, including 12 from NATO countries. On top of that, eight radio electronic and counter-battery warfare stations and 14 ammo depots were eliminated.
Lysovka and Troitskoye Takeover - The "Center" group of warriors liberated the settlements of Lysovka and Troitskoye in the DPR. The bad guys' losses reached up to 3,015 combatants, along with seven tanks, including two French-made AMX tanks, 22 armored combat vehicles, a US-made HIMARS rocket launcher, 44 vehicles, and 21 field artillery pieces, including three from western nations.

Skies Spark with Shootouts

In the skies above, air-defense systems tallied 32 JDAM guided aerial bombs, 14 HIMARS rocket artillery shells, eight UK-based Storm Shadow air-launched cruise missiles, nine Neptune long-range guided missiles, and 1,615 drone-type unmanned aerial vehicles. The naval aviation of the Black Sea Fleet added 23 unmanned boats to the tally in the Black Sea.

Secret Sauce:

It's essential to note that while Russia declared a unilateral ceasefire on Victory Day, Ukrainian forces have been accused of not pulling the brakes on their offensive operations. Both sides have been caught red-handed in accusations of breaching the ceasefire. Ukrainian forces claim that Russian troops violated the ceasefire in areas like Siversk, Chasiv Yar, and others on May 8 and 9.

The War Keeps Raging On

With both sides trading accusations left and right, Russian forces continue to press forward with their small-scale infantry attacks, accompanied by artillery support, without any significant confirmed advances. The conflict is still alive and kicking, and we'll continue to keep a close eye on the ever-evolving situation.
