After the evacuation of some civilians from the basements in the Azovstal facilities on April 30 and May 1, the new round of hostilities broke out in the area.
Massive artillery shelling and aerial bombardment of Azovstal resumed. Azov militants besieged in the facilities open fire in an attempt to find any weak spots in the Russian/DPR defence around the plant. In response, Russian forces destroy Ukrainian firing positions. Rare attempts of Ukrainian nationalists to break through are also prevented. The Russian fire gives the Azov militants another occasion to blame Russian forces of cruelty and bombardment of “the brave” Ukrainian defenders, as well as civilians who may remain in the facilities. Azov militants claims that there are still civilians in the basements.
“In accordance with the order of the Supreme Commander-in-Chief, the remnants of militants located in the industrial zone of the Azovstal plant are firmly blocked along the entire perimeter of this territory. Repeated proposals to the nationalists to release civilians and lay down their arms with a guarantee of preserving life and decent treatment in accordance with the norms of international law have been ignored by them. We continue these attempts,” Russian Minister of Defence Sergey Shoigu claimed on May 4.
Despite some insignificant Russian advance in the facilities which provides them with better positions to assure control over the plant, no full-fledged assault of Azovstal resumed. The remained Azov fighters are informed that they have only two options either to surrender or be destroyed on the territory of Azovstal.
The combat tactical unit of the Ministry of Internal Affairs of the DPR has released a video showing the participation of its fighters in the battles at the Azovstal plant:
The other Donbass front lines are marked by positional battles.
In the Zaporozhye region, the front follows the Kamenskoye-Orekhov-Gulyai-Pole line. The main hotspots are the southern area of Orekhov and the outskirts of Gulyai-Pole. To the east of Gulyai-Pole, fighting continues for various villages with no significant progresses by any side. According to the General Staff of the Armed Forces of Ukraine, the Russian Army is accumulating a strike force in the region, including at the expense of the troops liberated in Mariupol.

In the Ugledar area, the front follows the Novomikhailovka-Ugledar-Velikaya Novoselovka line. Russian forces have gained a foothold in the villages south of Velikaya Novoselovka but are yet to carry out any major assault on the town. The AFU resistance in the area of Ugledar prevents Russian advance towards the Marinka-Kurakhovo highway, which is used for the supply of the AFU grouping near Donetsk.
Thus, DPR forces face difficulties at advancing in the area of Maryinka. The fighting has been going on in the nearby fields, where the AFU positions have been fortified during the years-long war in Donbas and are now reinforced from Kurakhovo.
Another hotspot of the war in Ukraine remains the area near Avdiivka. Fighting continues in the industrial zone of the town, without any successes by any of the warring sides. To the north of Avdiivka, clashes continue in the villages of Novoselka-2 and Novobakhmutovka.
The Sparta battalion of the DPR destroys the AFU positions in Avdiivka:
The DPR troops have taken control over the village of Troitskoye and street fighting continues. Russian attempts to advance towards the village of New York from the east have brought no significant success so far. At the same time, the AFU continues to shell the settlements of the DPR, including Donetsk, Makeyevka, Yasinovataya, Elenovka, etc. Ukrainian troops use 122-152-mm artillery, various types of MLRS as well as notorious Tochka-U missiles.
The village of Troitskoe:
120 mm foreign-made mines were found among the trophies in Troitsk:
In the Luhansk People’s Republic, fighting continues in the industrial zone of Rubizhne. Fighting also continues on the outskirts of Severodonetsk as well as in Popasna.
Video From Popasna:
In the area of Izyum, fighting continues north of the Barvenkovo-Slavyansk highway. Russian forces are yet to reach the highway yet, which is already under their fire control. The fighting is going on in the Kurulki-Pashkovo area as well as in Bolshaya Kamyshevakha.
The AFU is heavily shelling the civilian areas in Izyum. According to local reports, on May 4, the AFU shelled a civilian car with a missile with cluster munition. As a result, civilians were killed.

The Russian Buk-M2 anti-aircraft missile system struck an air target in the Kharkiv region. In the command post of the air defense unit, it was recorded that the Ukrainian MiG-29 was shot down near Izyum.
In the direction of Slavyansk from the east, after Russian and LPR forces took control over the village of Yampol, they approached the town of Lyman, fighting is going on on the outskirts of the city. The AFU are blowing up bridges and prepare a withdrawal to the next line of defense north of Slavyansk. The AFU are suffering the heaviest losses in the area.
Earlier, it was reported that the Ukrainian military command has ordered to transfer the units of the territorial defence, i.e. mainly armed civlians, to the front lines in the Slavyansk region. This is a clear sign of catastrophic losses of the AFU.
In the Kharkiv region, after they failed to counter-attack the village of Cossack Lopan and reportedly lost two small villages in the area, the AFU changed tactics and increased pressure on the town of Russian Lozovaya, where the fighting continues to this day. Another AFU attack was carried out in the direction of the town of Stary Saltov. Due to the lack of forces on the both sides in this direction, there are no significant changes on the front lines. The main goal of the battles in the Kharkiv region is to distract Russian forces from reinforcement of the grouping deployed in the Izyum area.
Fighting continues on the front lines between Kherson and Nikolaev. On the direction of Krivy Rih, no Russian assaults was confirmed.
The AFU grouping deployed in the Odessa is still waiting for Russian assault, which likely will not take place soon. Military facilities and rail road stations in the region are hit by Russian missiles on a regular basis.
In todays developments on the front, Russian Forces attempted to try to attempt to move 1 centimeter closer to Kharkiv. No worries, time works for Russia! I mean, yeah hundreds of tanks are delivered to Ukraine, millions of Ukrainian men are left to defend the nation against less than 200k Russians, tanks, jets, ships, boats, helicopters are being destroyed all over the fronts by MANPADs and Turkish DIY drones, but don’t worry, Russia will win in the end. Don’t forget to repeat to yourself that time is working for Russia each day in the morning and before bed, so we don’t care that Kharkiv will be captured next year this time. Take that Ukrainians.
Just heard over 1,000 people were killed at that theater in Mariupol.
Do you have any information as to how many of those were mercenaries hiding among civilians?
What theater? You mean azovstal, that was under blockade, Russian army won won, but wait a sec military is coming up from the azovstal and Russians are dying in Mariupol again, oh boy how could that happen, arent those azovstal solders rotting alive and all hungry, but now they fight like well fed and rested man? Russian army is a joke.
Your AZOV hero commander that’s been crying like a cunt you call a soldier !! My wife has bigger balls then him !! But the all you NATO koksuckers are cunts !!
No, US army is not a joke. It took the 1st Infantry Division, and the 173rd Airborne Brigade several years to die and to retreat from those small tunnels in southern Vietnam. Not a joke at all, Holms Jen.
It was blown up by the Azov nasties but quite a lot of people came up from the basements alive. The mainstream media claims that 300 were dead. They also claim a lot of things like that the US and UK support the moderate terrorists. There is no such thing, especially if you are a Syrian and a Christian.
You really need to wake the fuck up and smell the coffee !! Since your side is winning why don’t you go and join them !! Fcking retard !!
Seriously though, if the Ukrainian army can field millions against 200K Russians then all they seem to accomplish is to be cannonfodder, cause the frontline ain’t shifting in the Ukrainians favor either. And you can deliver a lot of tanks to the Ukrainians, but it takes time to properly train those tankers on using them properly. If you’re rushing them into the frontlines you will fair no better then the Red Army did in 1942, when Stalin wondered how in gods name the Wehrmacht was advancing and beating his troops when they had more tanks then the Germans.
The only thing that has saved the Ukraine was that the Russian military was severely incompetent. But apparently not that incompetent to be driven back by a 5 to 1 advantage in Ukrainian warm bodies.
You rediscovered the wheel… you are so smart nobody thinks this before… smartass… do you work at NASA?
At no point has the Russian forces been driven out of anywhere. You claim incompetence when Russia is outnumbered 5 to 1. It is more like 6 to 1. That is some sort of twisted logic you employ.
Russia won the war in the first 3 days. It’s just a question of how fast Russia wants to end it. As the Zio NATO empire keeps making new blunders every day as Napoleon said don’t interrupt your enemy when he is making a mistake. It’s the gist that keeps on giving. Like the stupid corrupt Zio USSA ending the reserve status of the Zio dollar.
It a bonus for al NATO countries s to deplete all the arsenals. If they are stupid enough to attack Russia, as a result the Russian army, 95% of which is still in reserve, can roll over NATO right to the channel if they wanted.
It won’t be necessary as the sanctions the Zio empire puts on its own EU slaves will result in regime change in most NATO countries by this time next year. This will be caused by massive economic collapse, hyperinflation, mass unemployment, mass deaths from famine and large numbers freezing to death with no gas to heat homes, no gasoline to transport food rolling blackouts etc.
True. NATO arsenal being depleted. What s the point ?
We are in Nato grounds but we won’t be able to renew that stock.
Are they sending their outdated armament then thru Poland ?
Anybody having a clue about French mercenaries taken to Moscow for a trial.?
It’s all hushed up in France.
google 24 7 war news .gr they have lots of good updates on the war in Ukraine
Even the mainstream media admitted the ghost of Kiev is a fabrication but keep being delusional.
Have we moved yet?
yes we have in your mommas puzzy and she can take a lot of us, guess she must have had US training !!
Hey, how’s the “Ghost of Ukraine” doing this week?
And how many kills has “Wali” racked up this week?
I don’t see any information about them. Which is odd, since they are supposedly supermen.
And I can’t seem to find any data about how many kills that Slovenian S-300PMU system has achieved. Could you please provide a link? After all, I’m certain that it must be several dozen by now, considering the tactical situation you posit.
Oh! And you can ask the Canadian general that was just captured how things are going in Asovstal. I’m sure everything is fine, just fine.
Is this phase two?
Nooo, this is just a tactical pause. Phase II starting soon in 2026, and then Ukraine will seeee. Lol
Hahaha Mauripol is only here to taunt you readers… lol! You are a jackass
Hey??? 😂🤣
There is no development. Only “Tactical Pause”!
every day i can’t find cities and towns of ukraine, they say “Troitskoe”, but i can’t find on internet and google earth, even in ukrainian and russian, can’t find it, it shows a another village in the center or in the north of the country wtf …..
https://duckduckgo.com/?q=Troitskoye+Ukraine&t=ffcm&ia=web&iaxm=maps
This should be it.
but DPR troops can’t be here, it’s too strange not to be able to find some villages in ukraine v_v
I am not sure if I understand correctly, but the village on the map (above link) is just some kilometers south of Popasnaya, so I think it is plausible that it is the one from the article. Yes, it is in Lugansk Oblast but LNR and DPR are allies so it is not totally unreasonable that DPR forces are operating on LPR territory.
Or, maybe it’s this one?
https://duckduckgo.com/?q=Troitskoye+Ukraine+Donetsk+Oblast&t=ffcm&ia=web&iaxm=maps
I have seen “Troits’ke” mentioned by SF before. SF seems to be rather loose with the proper spelling, I have read articles where one and the same locality was referred to by two or even three different spellings, e.g. mixing up the Ukrainian and the Russian transliteration.
P.S.: I believe it is the one north of Donetsk. Look at this map:
https://southfront.org/military-situation-in-eastern-ukraine-on-may-3-2022-map-update/
SF has spelled it “Troitkoe”. Just south of one of the Novoselovka villages.
It can become very confusing because many of these villages have the same name and are not that far apart, or a combination of names. I didn’t know there were multiple Limans.
By the time the fighting is done they all look like Moon Craters anyways. You can give them any name you want. I wish Russia would lay waste to Western Ukraine.
“I wish Russia would lay waste to Western Ukraine.”
All in due time, I guess. The Ukrainian forces have spent the last 7-8 years fortifying their positions in Donbass, which is why it is such a slow grind right now. Once that’s over their forces should also be quite diminished, so I would expect less resistance for those two reasons: no more fortifications and far less (motivated) troops.
The region has seen that much bloodshed, wars, invasions, regional migrations, you name it (check history), that the people relocated and named the new sttlement after the old one. Also settlements are named after some land mark or some other atribute wich in common language of the land means the same name.
Hence you can have dozens of villages in the country bearing the same name.
Usually, to avoid confusion, the villages name îs folowed by it’s direct regional town pe city.
In our case:
Troytskoie of (full in the blanks).
yes your new link is the right village, in fact the 1st link you posted showed a village west of Odessa hence the confusion, thank you
Huh, that’s strange. For me it showed a village south of Popasnaya in the LPR.
Anyway, I am glad I could help.
See the Troll booth set up here.
Just one the same crazy and desperate degenerate troll JHK, holms, mariupol, muhamad, nato, hans raus etc whatever moronic gay names talking with himself and spamming endless retarded sick garbage from his basement 00-24 every day…
If you get upset and mad then they win and will continuing spamming.
The latest development is that Putin the terrorist cockroach had to pay Russia’s foreign debt using dollars to avoid default. Wasn’t this moronic parasite asking other countries to pay with worthless roubles? Why is he using dollar bills?
hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha
You do know laughing gas is nitrous oxide, right?
Your inbred mind does not understand economics.
Go back to fucking goats.
The economics seems to be that Russia is a shitty vassal state of your hated world empire.
Stupid question from a stupid person, so it would be useless to answer your questions as you have the other idiot that laughing to comfort you !!
We got another moron here who doesn’t want to answer the question answering the question.
Perhaps it is time to destroy Azovstal and move on towards Odessa? Who cares about what the stinking West thinks about it and “the poor and Innocent people” still inside. It now a war to the death, so make sure the enemy begins to fear you. In any case Putin cannot allow any of these murderers to escape.
In WWII, the famed RAF 617 Dam Busters only used their barrel bombs twice. Barnes Wallis’ Earthquake 5 ton bombs destroyed concrete bunkers with 5m thick roofs. They didn’t target the concrete, they delayed fuse bomb that penetrated the earth and rock foundations next to the structure. The bomb would blow a huge cavern next to the structure with shock waves and loss of foundation support causing the structure to collapse into the subsurface crater.
The Dam Busters destroyed the V3 site in Calais with 5 bombs penetrating 100 feet next to the concrete structure. They destroyed several V1 launch and munitions storage sites.
Azostal plant is constructed on soft marine and riverine soils I believe from its location next to the sea. An earth penetrating bomb would shake their tunnels and bunkers to pieces. They would likely flood with water and mud.
Chose those without civilians and those deepest as they would contain the biggest cowards: NAYOYO advisors and Azov criminals.
Fascinating reading. Sound like a sound plan, for by targeting the structure itself, the damage may not do much harm. Targeting its foundation, however, is a completely different matter. By threatening the soldiers inside with “the getting drowned by incoming mud and water option,” they may come to their senses and realize that they do want to survive after all and surrender? Job done.
I’m sure Russia has plans of catacombs from Soviet archives. They have built it. They could blow up / collapse every exit or vent etc. if they want. Ones under the ground are harmless but the soldiers that are popping above ground are dangerous and targets. And they are not civilians
Russian attempts to advance towards the village of New York from the east have brought no significant success so far. Whaaattttttt??? is not just the Soviet Union… Putin wants to rule the world!!!!
And then Rubles in New York. It is coming
I understand what the strategy the Russians are using at least where there main grouping around Liman is. They just saturate the shit out of an area with Artillery, over and over and over again. Night comes, they sound out Recon and Spetsnaz to clean up what’s left. They aren’t even using their main army for anything. They have clearly given up on the idea of capturing cities. If the Ukrops are stupid enough to keep sending meat into the grinder in open fields, why not? It is working. Ukraine is on its 4th round of mobilization. They are scraping the bottom of the barrel.
Still though, on day 70 Donetsk is still being shelled. This is fucking embarrassing. A lot of people were killed. All the Missile strikes, Air Strikes, Artillery strikes, and they still can’t silence these AFU Guns that are doing the shelling? Why not? Why can’t they just carpet bomb these areas? The AFU fortifications are in rural areas from what I have seen. Carpet bomb them.
A city has to be enveloped before capture.
Ukrainians, there are more Chinese and Indian men than women. I hope you like them because they will be marrying your daughters, widowed wives, sisters and nieces. I Expect they will be intermarrying the Russians too. Your sons who are too young to fight will be intermarrying with the Russians too, in order to get away from the smell of curry and Chinese food.
If you were to win, Ukraine, you would be paying America back for their weapons for CENTURIES.
You should love the Americans for making you in debt, stealing your country, using you as cannon fooder, fighting THEIR war against Russia for duping you to die in their war and then for wanting to charge you decendants for the weapons for GENERATIONS! SUCKERS. All of America’s allies are SUCKERS.
Ukraine has an IQ problem.
“and the one thing God Hates above all Sins and Abominations is the Hypocrites”
This war would not have taken place but for the machinations of the Americans and NATO. Those people don’t care about Ukraine or its people. They are just using the Ukraine with its terminally corrupt leadership to weaken Russia because Putin wasn’t following the NWO script to plan. It is an undoubted fact that the Americans overthrew the legally elected government of the Ukraine in 2014 and installed a puppet regime subservient to the Americans. This regime has also undoubtedly attacked the Russian-speaking, Ukrainian civilians in the Donbass for several years, killing many thousands of them. The Americans and the western media have ignored this even though they were fully aware of it. Despite all the warnings that Russia would not tolerate this indefinitely the Americans and NATO ignored them. Mainly because they wanted this war. The American economy and its corrupt financial system is facing disaster and the Covid scam was being exposed so they needed a distraction even if it means possible death and destruction for millions of European people. The corrupt, degenerate scum who rule the US don’t seem to care about the extremely dangerous conditions they are creating in Europe. Nor do their treacherous puppets who misrule the various European nations. The populations are deliberately mislead by the media so they don’t know what’s going on. It can all only end badly.
ukie lost 2 months ago—amerikan delusions infect them
Thanks for President Poutine to save us from WEF.
These globalists in the USA are now stopping infant formula and mothers have been told to breastfeed. But for some mothers with no milk they import the formula from Europe. Customs blocking them in the US.
We have criminals at the helm and soon the Gates ‘milk , fake milk will only be available
Thanks for the children saved by the Russians in underground facilities and ready to be shipped to porn criminals in the US.
They also harvest organs or bludgeon them for blood. Vampires !
