Support SouthFront
Russian 240 mm self-propelled mortars 2C4 “Tulips”
Fierce street clashes continue in the city of Mariupol. On April 6, the DPR advanced in the area of the city seaport. The first footage from Russian drones from the area was shared online. This is a clear sign that the area was almost secured.
On April 6, Russian sources shared photos, taken by a drone, showing the Donbass command ship of the Ukrainian Navy in the Mariupol port, which sustained some serious damage as a result of a direct or an indirect strike. On December 9, 2021 the ship tried to pass through the Kerch Strait. It was captured in Crimea, but later returned to Ukraine.

Earlier, Russian troops launched an offensive on the Mariupol Metallurgical Plant named after Ilyich. On the approaches to the facility, fierce battles and sniper duels continue. The assault on the plant named after Ilyich may take days or weeks. There are a lot of underground passages and a large bomb shelter under the facility.
Battles for the control over the large industrial facilities of the Azovstal located in the Left Bank district and Azovmash plant located in the Kalmius district continue. Chechen soldiers of the regiment named after the Hero of Russia Akhmat-Hadji Kadyrov have been deployed in the industrial zone of the Azovstal since April 2.
DPR and Russian troops are carrying out the mop up operations in the residential areas in the Left Bank and Central districts of the city.
According to the Russian Ministry of Defence, on the morning of 5 April, another attempt by the Kiev regime to evacuate the leaders of the Azov nationalist battalion was foiled near Mariupol. Two Ukrainian Mi-8 helicopters attempting to break through to the city from the sea were reportedly shot down by man-portable anti-aircraft missile systems.
According to unconfirmed reports by Russian military commanders on the ground and several sources, NATO officers and even a general of the US and European Armies may be blocked in Mariupol. Some sources report that the Russian Army had already taken one NATO commander, Lieutenant General Roger L. Clothier, near Mariupol. Other sources allegedly report his death. Reports about NATO commanders taking shelter with Azov militants in Mariupol may explain why NATO member states especially France and Turkey are asking to implement a humanitarian mission in Mariupol, but only with the participation of their military.
The Russian Defense Ministry has not yet confirmed or denied these reports.
There were no changes reported on the front lines in the Ugledar region. Heavy fighting continues to the north-west of the city.
On the DPR front lines, positional battles continue in the town of Maryinka and to the north of Avdiivka. After DPR forces took control over the village of Novobakhmutovka, they are strengthening their positions there, preparing for further advance at the Avdiivka—Konstantinovka highway.
In their turn, LPR forces are slowly advancing on the streets of the town of Popasnaya. In the Severodonetsk-Lysychansk area, LPR troops reached outskirts of the Severodonetsk city, clashes continue in the eastern regions of Rubezhnoe, where the AFU blew up a tank with toxic substances at the Zarya chemical plant.
The main hotspot on the Donbass front lines is the region of Izyum. Amid fierce resistance of the AFU, Russian forces are slowly advancing to the south and southeast of Kamenka in the direction of Barvenkovo and Slavyansk. The villages of Brazhkovka and Sukhaya Kamenka are now under the Russian control.

The Kharkiv and Sumy front lines remain without significant changes. Large offensive of Russian forces is expected in the region, after more Russian troops are transfered form the Kiev region to the Eastern front lines.
Despite unconfirmed reports of the Mykolaiv officials, no changes on the border of the Mykolaiv and Kherson regions are confirmed. The village of Snegirevka and outskirts of Alexandrovka are under the Russian control. The AFU forces are attempting to attack from the Nikopol direction in the area of Novorontsovka. The AFU reportedly are in control of the villages of Kashperov-Nikolaevka and Galitsinovo.
The AFU artillery is actively shelling the northern districts of Donetsk, as well as Yasinovatsky district, Gvardeyskaya, Kirovsky district of Makeyevka.

On April 6, Ukrainian fuel and lubricant storages were hit in the Novomoskovskiy district of the Dnipropetrovsk region.
The West does not want the conflict to finish too soon. The following was published on March 31, at 10:10 BST
I have tried to find out what happened around the time of the above date, March 31, when the Russian army withdrew from northern Kiev. It is below a spoiler, since it is more for the record.
Bucha has Telegram channel for local news:
For March 29, the weather was good, the roads dry, a car drove through the streets, and was posted the following morning assuming it was not an older video, but news. And they are basically empty, it is said at 8:49 that the Russian troops are beginning to leave Bucha, though the Ministry of Defence was quoted at 9:02 that there was no decrease of military activity in Kiev.
At 11:10
There is a video upload, nicely done actually, the weather is still dry, but there are clouds, roads are dry. There are three bodies in the streets, The text says this is from Irpen, which is just South of Bucha:
Then at 11:19 there is:
11:44 there is an upload with an image and a text which is similar to what was posted on March 29 at 17:57. So the move started earlier than March 30.
At 14:36
At 15:20 there is an upload and the sun is shining. The location Moshchun is on the map to the northeast of Bucha on the other side of Hostomel.
At 17:50 There is a video claimed to be from Irpen, that shows bodies in white bags that are carried out to the road. The weather has changed, it is overcast and, it has been raining, the roads are wet. There are a couple of explosions, but why and how is not explained.
On March 31 at 5:00, there is:

The map shows Gostomel to be just northeast of Bucha:

The location Blistavitsa is just north of Bucha.Контин residential complex continent, Bucha
On the territory of the complex there is a lot of enemy equipment, the Russian invaders load everything that they take out of their apartments all day and send it towards the village of Blistavitsa.
At 14:36
The few people explain why the houses are so empty. At 14:53 They say that explosions can be heard in Kiev and that it is better to stay in shelters and not go outside.
At 15:20 there is an upload and the sun is shining. The location Moshchun is on the map to the northeast of Bucha on the other side of Hostomel.
15:37:
15:40
16:26also the mayor of Irpen Alexander Markushin at a briefing on the situation in the city:
It is still dangerous to return to the city, despite the liberation from the Russian invaders;
;
Then there are two posts 16:30 and 16:34
At 17:15 and 17:19
At 17:24 there is and
At 17:50 There is a video claimed to be from Irpen, that shows bodies in white bags that are carried out to the road. The weather has changed, it is overcast and, it has been raining, the roads are wet. There are a couple of explosions, but why and how is not explained.
At 20:22
20:35: In the image below the red areas are occupied and a humanitarian catastrophe. Bucha is one, but we also know, for now, that the local messages are that Bucha town is free that they went in the direction of Blistavitsa."We go to the EU, get a lot of money for restoration and get better guarantees than in NATO," Arestovich said about the interim agreement
Adviser to the head of the OP revealed important details:
▪ we have improved our position on all negotiating lines;
At 20:42 The emptiness is noted. Varshavka is directly east of Bucha. The picture is included for the sake of the weather. It is overcast and there are signs it has been raining, as there is a little water in the small pothole to the left.
current situation in the Kiev region as of March 30.
Kiev region holds the defense!
21:18 There is an alarm
Bucha, Varshavka without traffic jams, and around only emptiness and memories of peaceful life.
I would rather knock out the fucking Horde from our city and country, and return to my native streets!
We'll win. Everything will be Ukraine!
21:29
21:42 There is a clip where a group of soldiers meets two people. The leader of the group says good evening. The weather is more or less like it was a few hours earlier, that is overcast with signs that there has been rain earlier in the day. From the behaviour of the group of soldiers and the young man and the old lady, the impression is, that they are the first Ukrainian soldiers to be in that area after the Russian army has left. This basically means that Bucha was taken over by the Ukrainian army on the evening of March 30, 2022. What is not clear is if they covered all the area, or only managed some. But at any rate, it is clear the Russian army is no longer there.
21:53 Before the following there was report about a fighter jet and also a couple of rockets.
23:04
23:14 Again more confirmation that the Russian army has left Bucha.
Meanwhile, the railway war continues in Belarus. This is the second train to derail in three days. It was wearing Russian military equipment.
Well, here Belarusians have a huge like!
This was the most important translation and notes for March 30.
On March 31 at 5:00, there is:
And at 8:40 then:
9:06 The last two and the next are actually a bit odd. Is the enemy the Russian, or those who worked with them, or is the problem unexploded ordnance or damaged infrastructure?
10:35You definitely can't go back to Irpen for the next month.
Give us time to deal with the enemy. There is no free Irpen without free Bucha, Vorzel and Gostomel - Mayor of Irpen Markushin
10:45 And totalitarian control as in the EU is important:
U.S. propaganda is so bad even NBC admits U.S. intel is lying:
www.nbcnews.com
“It doesn’t have to be solid intelligence,” one U.S. official said. “It’s more important to get out ahead of them [the Russians], Putin specifically, before they do something."
Examples: Putin being misled by his generals, Putin asking China for military aid, Putin is going to use chemical weapons. When was the last time the MSM admitted something like this, so quickly? (Actually, one comes to mind after thinking for a minute: TIME essentially admitting the 2020 election was stolen by a secret cabal.)

US General leading Azov Nazis in Mariupol CAPTURED – total news blackout
April 7, 2022Mariupol: The encircled NATO officers are begging the Russian military for evacuation.
(Translated by Google)
Encircled in Mariupol, the current NATO officers asked the Russian military to evacuate them

At the beginning of the Russian intervention in Ukraine on 24/2 the exchange rate of the ruble was $ 0.0122. Today it is almost $ 0.0126. In other terms, the ruble is more valuable now than before the military operation in Ukraine.
Obviously, sanctions imposed by the US have more deleterious effects on the European nations than on Russia.

Some, even many of them are smart enough to see what is going on, or have been told, but like for the COVID campaign, they have chosen to go along.

"🎙 Commentary by Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov on the new draft agreement presented by the Ukrainian side.
Yesterday the Ukrainian side submitted its draft agreement to the negotiating team. It clearly deviates from the most important provisions which were set out in the document signed by the head of the Ukrainian delegation Dmytro Arahamiy in Istanbul on March 29.
In that document, the Ukrainians clearly stated that the future security guarantees for Ukraine did not apply to Crimea and Sevastopol. Yesterday's draft lacks this clear statement and instead proposes vague wording about some kind of "effective control" as of February 23. <...>
This lack of agreement once again characterizes Kyiv's true intentions, its policy of dragging out and even undermining the negotiations by deviating from the understandings reached. We see in this a manifestation of the fact that the Kiev regime is controlled by Washington and its allies, pushing President Zelensky to continue hostilities."
