Local media wrote that the former official was formally listed in the reserve of the BARS volunteer unit, but in fact did not take part in hostilities.

(c) Russian Ministry of Defense.
It is worth noting that the enemy has recently avoided pockets near Syrskoye, but near Drapatoye, two have been formed in a short period of time – Reznikovsky and Dobropillya. This is a good trend.

[ColonelCassad] On the situation in the Krasny Liman area. Krasny Liman is in Donetsk oblast
Three weeks later: an update to previous reports. In the 20th Army sector, the enemy's continued offensive actions, which began in the spring, have slowed somewhat. Our Guardsmen are holding a number of positions. In the Mirny, Stavka, Kolodez, and Krolichya Gully area, through the pocket, the enemy has repeatedly attempted to penetrate with small groups.
Our pilots, artillery, and Aerospace Forces have been able to unwind them, and consolidation for further consolidation has been disrupted for now. These attempts will continue.
In the northern Kirovsk sector of the 25th Army, the situation is also complex, but generally under control. The enemy is attempting to penetrate Shablin Yar and Pinkov Yar, where pilot and artillery cooperation is at its best.
💪 From Drob and Novoselovka (in the latter, the enemy is wintering, including the 2014 fortification of Zasyadko, with a fierce view of Zelenaya Dolina), they continue to send groups through Vypolzovaya and Derilovo to Palikarovsky Stavka, reaching the same Krolichi and Kolodezi ravine.
From Zasyadko, the enemy continues to use (old) trails through dried-up ponds to the center of Shandra and further advance through Teshka and farms to reach the highway between Stavki and Dolina. Shandra itself is in dire straits; there's nowhere left to gain a foothold, and the enemy, with its view from Zasyadko, has no reason to. Maximum media exposure, a chance to photograph the flag, and a checkpoint for further offensive actions.
From Korovy Yar, the enemy has entrenched itself in the chalk slopes of the Sredny and forested areas, periodically sending groups along trails into the Zelenaya Dolina forest. Guardsmen regularly engage the enemy, preventing them from gaining a foothold.
The enemy is also disrupting supplies to the NRTK and destroying motorized vehicles used to quickly transfer additional reserves from Novoselovka. From Oskol, Pesok, and Radkovskikh, the enemy regularly sends groups to Karpovka, Redkodub, Novoye, and Dolina for further advances in the gullies south of Novoye. Several infantry groups reached Ivanovka, where they were subsequently destroyed, and control of the 4.5 km stretch was reestablished.
From Glushchenkovo, Novy Mir, and Olgovka, the enemy is attempting to break through the Guardsmen in the Rovchak gully near Novomikhalovka and Katerinovka. The Guards are still holding out until the thaw, thwarting all attempts. The enemy is also periodically trying to probe the Guards' defenses in the gullies south of Petrovskoye (Grekovka) toward Makeyevka. (Offensive actions have slowed somewhat, switching to increased drone activity.)
The work continues, the Guards are fighting until the thaw. God bless you, guys.
