The summary of the 47th day of Russian invasion to Ukraine, as of 22:00 – 11th of April 2022 (Kyiv time).
Monday has passed without significant changes on the ground. The only bright exception is north of Kharkiv, where Ukrainian troops regained control of Zolochoiv. The situation in Donbas and in the south remains unchanged.
Sloboda Frontline
includes Kharkiv and Luhansk Oblast
Kharkiv Oblast
Ukrainian troops have reportedly launched a counter-offensive north-west of Kharkiv and regained control of Zolochoiv. The Russian advance towards Barvinkove and Slovyansk have been stopped for now. It’s very likely this is a planned pause before the imminent large scale attack.
Luhansk Oblast
Russian troops attacked Ukrainian positions near Lysychansk and Popasna, but didn’t gain any new ground.
Pryazovia Frontline
includes Donetsk and Zaporizhzhia Oblast
Donetsk Oblast
Russian troops shelled Marinka, Pisky and Avdiivka, but they didn’t have success breaking through Ukrainian lines in the area.
Zaporizhzhia Oblast
There was no change on the ground in Zaporizhzhia Oblast.
Mariupol
Ukrainian Azov reported late in the evening a Russian chemical attack on Azovstal plant. We’re waiting for confirmation. The situation in the other parts of Mariupol remains unchanged or covered by the fog of war.
Southern Frontline
includes Kherson, Mykolaiv and Odesa Oblast
Mykolaiv Oblast
There was no change on the ground in Mykolaiv Oblast.

“regained control of Zolochoiv”
the name of the village is Zolochiv
Calm before the storm
Any more intel on that big column moving towards Izium and composition of those forces? Would indicate exploit push southwards unless they have some other plans and turning west towards Husarivka & Andriivka.
Thanks for the updates even on the quiet days.
Today I watched the last video made by CaspianReport, “The Ukraine War From Russia’s Perspective”. It’s about the “heartland theory”, far to be new, but it is well explained. Here the link: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MkrLUFAcjH0 I’m not linked whatsoever to CaspianReport, his conclusion is exactly what I think is the russian mindset behind the reason for this invasion. @Jerome: If you don’t like people posting links like I just did, tell me and I won’t do it… Read more »
