Journalist Yury Podolyaka:

▪️Zaluzhny has political ambitions. Washington curators are molding him into a real patriot. Allegedly, he thinks about the Armed Forces of the Ukraine much more than Zelensky. I think it's just a game.

From May 7 to 8, we delivered the most powerful blow to enemy units. Have we thwarted the counteroffensive?

▪️Yes, these were the most powerful attacks that confused the plans of the enemy. The Armed Forces of the Ukraine did not do anything specific, but there were probes in the Artyomovsk and Ugeldar directions. The blows were very painful for the Ukrainians. A large number of soldiers died, equipment and warehouses were destroyed. Each blow brings our victory closer and reduces the enemy's chances of a successful counteroffensive. However, I think that the Armed Forces of the Ukraine will soon go on the attack anyway.

▪️There is no point in rushing the Armed Forces of the Ukraine. We are accumulating forces, deploying new units, electronic warfare is located at the forefront, which can disrupt the first strike of enemy drones. Each week strengthens our position and weakens the position of the Armed Forces of the Ukraine.

What is happening on the fronts?

▪️In Artyomovsk, on the eve of May 9, we attacked and took the central high-rise area. Our fighters gradually squeezed out the enemy from there and now surround the last area of high-rise buildings from the north-west. We went to the rear of the enemy grouping, cutting it into two parts. Soldiers of the Armed Forces of the Ukraine still remain in the area of the "Aircraft" and high-rise buildings. These are their only strongholds. The enemy tried to launch a counteroffensive and probe our positions to the northwest. Also the day before, the enemy moved from the southwest and took our forward lines. Now there are fights for the return of those positions.

▪️The Armed Forces of the Ukraine are also probing our positions in the Ugledar direction. We are trying with the help of artillery to shoot down the enemy's attempts. The Ukrainians are greatly hindered by our planning bombs. We use 2-3 dozen such shells daily in each direction. Aviation constrains the plans of the Armed Forces of the Ukraine. There is reconnaissance in combat. The enemy is trying to reveal the interaction of our troops in order to finalize plans of action.
