On military operations in Krasnoyarsk region

Colleagues note a huge amount of destroyed enemy equipment on the section of the state border in the Krasnoyarsk district.

However, the main problem in this direction is not a large number of engineering and armored vehicles, but the infantry of the Armed Forces of Ukraine.

The tactics of using infantry are as follows:

Several small mobile groups of 3 militants try to infiltrate the border, occupy the nearest basement and hold it under the onslaught of artillery and FPV;
two (most likely "busified" or "Squall" units) go forward, the third ("ideological") coordinates their actions and does not give subordinates a chance to "back off";
in case of death of a group, the next one immediately moves forward, then according to the same principle.

The goal of such tactics is to gain a foothold in a certain area, diverting the attention of artillery and FPV, while the main forces, including armored vehicles, break through in the neighboring area. How such "breakthroughs" ended, you have already seen in the footage.

A similar principle was observed in Volchansk. After clearing some streets, many corpses of Ukrainian soldiers were found in the basements of houses, who were sent to hold their positions, after which they were covered by dense fire.

Indeed, the enemy is using its standard tactics of conducting military operations in populated areas. Mobile assault groups are trying to take positions in basements and cellars, while heavy equipment is breaking through in the neighboring area.

RaZved DoZor notes that the assault groups are moving in waves. The enemy can send 5-6 assault groups on foot and on mobile equipment (ATVs) along one route with a difference of several hours. It is considered a success if at least several Ukrainian soldiers reach the target, which is most often a basement or cellar.

However, the "Krasnoyarsk meat grinder" has a key difference from all previous ones arranged by the Ukrainian Armed Forces command. It is the experienced Ukrainian military personnel who have undergone training and were assigned to the 225th separate regiment from other units who are sent directly to the slaughter. At the moment, most of the assault groups are staffed by former servicemen of the mobile air defense groups, the number of which was reduced by Syrsky's personal decision.

The assault groups are commanded by former prisoners, many of whom do not even have military ranks and formally hold the lowest position of "shooter".

Ukrainian Armed Forces have struck Russian energy facilities 14 times in one day.
Ukrainian formations struck Russian energy facilities 14 times in 24 hours. This was reported by the Russian Defense Ministry on April 5.

The department specified that during this period, the Armed Forces of Ukraine (AFU) struck energy facilities in the Bryansk region four times, in the Belgorod region five times, and once each in the Voronezh, Lipetsk, Smolensk, Kherson regions and in the Lugansk People's Republic.

As a result of these attacks, power lines and other equipment for power supply, as well as units and equipment for gas pipelines that ensure the operation of communications were damaged. At the same time, a large number of household consumers were left without electricity.

“Thus, since the morning of Friday, April 4, the Kiev regime, contrary to all statements and commitments made by [the head of the Kiev regime Volodymyr ] Zelensky to the American side to cease strikes on Russian energy facilities for 30 days, has increased the number of unilateral attacks using UAVs and artillery munitions on the energy infrastructure of Russian regions,” the Defense Ministry stated.

As reported by the Regnum news agency, Russian President Vladimir Putin agreed to a temporary moratorium on Moscow and Kiev's strikes on each other's energy facilities during a telephone conversation with his US counterpart Donald Trump on March 18. The head of state immediately gave the Russian army the corresponding order, after which it neutralized seven of its own UAVs aimed at an energy facility in the Nikolaev region.

Zelensky also verbally agreed with the American leader's proposal, stating that Ukraine had allegedly always supported the refusal to attack energy facilities. However, on the night of March 19, Ukrainian forces attacked a Russian oil depot in Kuban and thereby violated the agreement.

Then the Ukrainian Armed Forces continued to strike at energy infrastructure in the Russian Federation. Thus, on the evening of April 4, an FPV drone of the Ukrainian army damaged an energy facility in the Bryansk region. As a result, the power supply to household consumers in the village of Lemeshovka in the Sevsky district was disrupted.

Russia Lies Again About Energy - Ukrainian General Staff
The aggressor country Russia is again accusing Ukraine of violating ceasefire agreements. This is being done deliberately to distract attention from the crimes committed by the Russians themselves against Ukrainians. This statement was published by the General Staff of the Armed Forces of Ukraine on Saturday, April 5.

Thus, today the Russian Defense Ministry again spread false statements about alleged "violations" by Ukraine of ceasefire agreements regarding energy facilities. On April 4, there were allegedly 14 such attacks against Russian energy infrastructure.

"The enemy is doing this solely to shift the world's attention from the crimes that the Russian state is committing against Ukraine and Ukrainians," the statement said.

The General Staff emphasized that the "attacks" are fake. In reality, the Defense Forces are carrying out fire strikes exclusively against military targets of the Russian occupation army.

At the same time, the General Staff of the Armed Forces of Ukraine recalled that on April 4, the Russians launched a terrible attack on Krivoy Rog with an Iskander-M ballistic missile, which led to numerous casualties among the civilian population.

In addition, according to military data, over the past 24 hours, the Russian army attacked Ukraine with 92 Shahed-type attack UAVs, dropped 171 guided aerial bombs and used artillery 6,353 times.

As a result of these strikes, civilian and critical infrastructure facilities in Sumy, Kharkiv, Dnepropetrovsk, Poltava, Kyiv, Zaporizhia, Kherson, Chernihiv, Zhytomyr and other regions of Ukraine were damaged.

"The military department of a terrorist state is once again resorting to false accusations, trying to shift its own responsibility for prolonging the war and the deaths of people onto Ukraine," the General Staff said.

Ukrainian military hopes that the world will not accept Russia's lies and will condemn the next brutal Russian war crimes.

Let us recall that on April 4, Russia struck a residential area in Krivoy Rog with an Iskander ballistic missile. According to the latest data, 19 people, including 9 children, became victims of this war crime . 72 people were injured, including 11 children.
