On April 4, Minister of Defence of the Russian Federation General of the Army Sergei Shoigu held the monthly special teleconference with the leadership of the Russian Armed Forces. In his speech, Russian Defence Minister commented on the progress of the Russian special military operation in Ukraine, attempts of the NATO member states to escalate the military conflict an Russian response measure.
The Russian Armed Forces continue to liberate Donbass. According to Sergey Shoigu, Russian combat operations in Artyomovsk (Bakhmut), Avdeevka, Liman, and Kupyansk directions are developing steadily. Amid the ongoing ground operations, Russian forces continue high-precision strikes at Ukrainian military infrastructure.
Russian Defence minister declared that Russian strikes disrupted the production of several types of weapons, as well as the supply of ammunition and fuel to Armed Forces of Ukraine (AFU). At the same time, Russian forces are destroying foreign weapons and military equipment both in combat positions on the Ukrainian front lines and during their transportation.

Since the beginning of this year alone, the following foreign artillery systems were destroyed:
- 59 M-777 artillery systems,
- 13 Paladin self-propelled artillery systems,
- 14 US-made HIMARS launchers,
- 30 self-propelled artillery systems from Poland, Germany, France, and the Czech Republic.
In their turn, the US and its allies have increased their military support for Ukraine.
“It is stated that this year alone they are ready to supply more than 200 Western-made tanks, more than 400 modern armoured fighting vehicles. The Ukrainian Armed Forces are being supplied with long-range weapons, including rockets with an extended range of up to 150 km. The potential transfer of F-16 tactical fighter planes and ATACMS tactical missiles with a firing range of up to 300 km to Kiev is under consideration,” Sergey Shoigu said.
At the same time, NATO is speeding up combat and reconnaissance training exercises close to the borders of Russia and Belarus in an effort to increase the combat readiness of their Joint Armed Forces. Moreover, Finland became a member of NATO.
“Obviously, all of this raises the possibility of a significant expansion of the conflict, but it will have no impact on how the results of the special operation. Under these conditions, we are taking retaliatory measures, defending the security of the Union State (with Belarus),” the Russian Defense Minister said.

The Russian Iskander-M tactical missile system was handed over to the Armed Forces of Belarus. It can use both conventional and nuclear missiles, Russian Defense Minister said. According to him, since April 3, training of Belarusian servicemen begun at one of the Russian training grounds.
Some of the Belarusian assault aircraft have already gained the ability to strike enemy targets with nuclear weapons, Shoigu added.
The Defence Minister concluded that the Russian Armed Forces will continue to carry out the missions within the special military operation.
It looks like Wagner force entered the speed of light with the denazification in Artiomovsk. Just after 3 hours from my previous statement of ”…Wagners are very near to conquer the interior railway and when that happen, ukroshits ameriscum imbecile cannon fodder will remain only 11% of entire nazi new berlin/Backmut….”, and the fact come true !!!!!!!!!!!!Unbelievable speed up of the anti-nazi grinding mill.
AZOM industrial zone:
In the course of many days of fighting, units of the PMC “Wagner” completely liberated the territory of the industrial zone and moved deep into the private buildings in the western direction. Also, the Bakhmut-1 railway station passed under the control of the “musicians”.
Center:
The area is completely taken under the control of Wagner PMC units. Assault operations continue in a westerly direction. The musicians entrenched themselves along Sibirtsev Street, approached the Metallurg stadium and occupied school No. 11. To the south, the Wagner PMC fighters went to Rozhdestvenskaya Street and continued to move towards the Avangard stadium.
Vodokanal
The offensive continues from south to north, during which the assault groups of musicians occupied a number of positions of the Armed Forces of Ukraine.
No amount of NATO propaganda, weapons or talk will make Russia’s 6000+ nukes go away the sooner the West realizes this the better off they will be.
The only problem here is that Russia does not seem to be willing to use any of their nuclear arsenal. Only the west is currently actively using nuclear weapons(depleted uranium). In fact, in documented history the west is the only hegemony that has used nuclear, chemical and biological weapons. Every single time it’s the west.
what a disaster , Russian military lacks night vision, thermal vision , high muzzle velocity long range snipers (300 win mag, 10mm cheytac), direct support firepower 23/30mm portable/ movable ww2 style high velocity autocannons etc, guided heavy indirect firepower for point target elimination(only lately glide bombs), combined arms attacks fall apart the moment assault starts, mass production of all these systems nonexistent, mass production of anything except artillery ammunition nonexistent
And you clearly lacks of brains if still talking bullshit after russian conquered about 20% of Kukrainii. Please keep going this shit till 25% and more….
Ukrainian-Russian war. Day 405:
Current situation at Bakhmut city: Russian Army took full control over AZOM industrial complex reaching hospital area from this axis. In addition troops reached Metallurg Stadium following the capture of School Nº 11 and reached Rizdvyana street from the southern axis.
P.S. Fuck you nazi pieces of shit, everyone and everywhere !
my mulatto husband is so humiliated he won’t let me lick his anus
Russia should consider nuke UK, if UK supplied depleted ammunition to UA. UK is island and huge war monger trying escalades the conflict. One or two nukes in UK will cool western willingness to fight and supply UA with danger weapons’ or this will be another Putin blunder and pro long the conflict and more civilians will need pay the price.
Could just give the IRA some dirty bomb material, intelligence and assistance jn launching an attack in London. If Russia is caught they have the excuse of assisting rhe Irish in liberating their lands from UK military occupation and aggression.
Dont nuke all of it or I will be gone.
By April 4, PMC Wagner had established control over important administrative and industrial facilities in Artemovsk. The enemy continues to defend in residential areas and the private sector in the west of the city.
The defense of the Armed Forces of Ukraine in the central regions and in the north-west of the city was completely hacked.
All administrative buildings and important industrial facilities in Bakhmut (Artemovsk) came under the control of Wagner PMC.
We have not even started yet to defend our Slavic brothers in Donbass. We are still testing new military drones and new socks and soldier boots to get experience on how it is working in real battle.
We are doing judo and fifth dimensional warfare.
When defense minister is a literal British agent ..
