I am Ukrainian. My country has been invaded by Russia. In this video I will tell you what happened on the four hundred and twenty ninth day of the war.
Day 429: April 28
The freshest reports indicate that these actions brought results. A fighter from the 93rd Mechanized Brigade reported that the usage of FAB-500 significantly decreased. He said that it is highly likely due to the increased density of Ukrainian air defense in the region and overall better attention to the sky.
The fighter also alluded to the recent powerful Ukrainian strikes on Russian positons west of the barracks and said that such strikes started to happen quite frequently and cause similar to FAB-500 destruction but to Russians. Such precision strikes successfully complicated Russian logistics in the northern part of Bakhmut and forced them to take time to regroup. Due to the process of regrouping, the pressure from this line was alleviated, and Russians have not gained new ground.
When it comes to the central part, Ukrainians assumed strong positions east of the department of the Engineering Academy and Medical College. Combat footage from this region showed how a Wagner unit attempted to cross Pavlova Novgorodseva Street but was immediately destroyed. A bit east of this location, another combat footage showed how Ukrainian drone operators cooperated with a mortar crew and destroyed another assault unit. They spotted how Russian troops in small numbers accumulated in the building and then conducted a strike.
In the southern part of the region, the situation is the most challenging for Ukrainians. For a long time, this area was the most stable, but the moment things stabilized in the north, they deteriorated along Korsunskogo Street. The main goal of Russian assault units in this region was to establish control over the Industrial College and split Ukrainian forces in Bakhmut into two groups. A fighter from the 93rd Mechanized Brigade reported that Russians devoted an absurdly high number of troops to this operation. He said that over the last day, the control over the collage changed 3 times. The chronology was the following: Russians prepared assault units consisting of at least 20 troops, and sent one assault unit after another until Ukrainians got overwhelmed and retreated; then Ukrainians reduced Russians with artillery and conducted a counterattack, and then the cycle repeated 2 more times. The drone footage showed that due to the intense fights, the college was turned into a barely standing carcass.
As you can see, when it comes to intense street fighting, the front line is always very unstable, and the control over entire residential quarters can go back and forth several times during the day. In the face of such high uncertainty, Ukrainians started destroying possible key Russian positions. Recently, Ukrainian sources published a video of a controlled explosion of a high-rise building on the outer edge of the city. Some sources speculated that these positions were lost, and Ukrainians tried to blow up Wagners. However, the building was empty, and Ukrainians are still controlling these positions, which is confirmed by today’s footage filmed from a vehicle that used the Ivanivske highway to deliver supplies to Bakhmut. The reason why Ukrainians destroyed it is the following. This building does not give fire control over Russian positions because it is blocked by other buildings, so it has no value for Ukrainians apart from being used for storage. However, if by any chance Russians take it, then this building would allow them to establish multiple ATGM positions and destroy absolutely all vehicles moving between Bakhmut and Chasiv Yar. So, Ukrainians blew it up just in case while they continued holding other buildings to control the region.
Ukrainian fighters also made an interesting observation and reported that the number of regular Russian forces has substantially decreased, and 90% of soldiers are from the Wagner Group. A few days ago, the Head of the Wagner forces, Prigozhin, said in an interview that his private military company is losing 5 times as many men as he expected. Today he also said that Wagner Group is on the verge of extinction, and he underscored that he is not being alarmist and that people will soon see for themselves. It looks like the commanders of the regular Russian forces understood that they would not be able to quickly finish the battle and take all the credit and once again left it to the Wagners to take all the losses.

“Commentators have been reporting for decades that corruption was endemic within its defense industrial sector and armed forces, at every level from the Kremlin down to the lowliest foot soldier.”
I believe this. Corruption breeds more corruption
