As the weather turns, so too does talk of a Ukrainian counterattack. Kyiv’s forces are gradually taking delivery of previously promised western (Yes) tanks, (No F-16 fighter jets,) fighting vehicles (Yes) and other munitions, (1mil ammo,) and many soldiers and  them have been freshly trained in U.S (include f-16 Pilot.) Britain, Germany and or also from Poland. Ukraine country’s 2nd important commander, Col Gen Oleksandr Syrskyi, surprised observers, when he suggested that place for a  counterstrike could be around Bakhmut.

Two months after Ukraine’s defense of Bakhmut seemed doomed, the bloodiest battle of Russia’s full-scale war against Ukraine is still going against all expectations.

Making rapid advances at the end of February, Russian forces seemed to be on the cusp of surrounding the city, as the only roads supplying Ukrainian defenders inside came under direct fire control.

According to an April 21 Washington Post report citing documents from the major leak of classified U.S. documents.

Prigozhin said, quoting a letter was sent to Russia’s Defence Minister Sergei Shoigu, giving an April 28 deadline. He has often said regular armed forces are not giving his men the ammunition they need & accused top brass of betraya. I must honestly say: Russia is on the brink of a disaster.”.

Wagner mercenary force have various commercial and military ties to Sudan, they denies no involvement in current conflict in the country.

Its founder, Yevgeny Prighozin - who has close links to President Vladimir Putin - has said that "not a single Wagner PMC [private military company] fighter has been present in Sudan" for over 2-years.

Putin say no evidence Russian mercenaries are currently inside the country. But there is evidence of Wagner's previous activities in Sudan, and Mr Prighozin's operations in the country have been targeted by both US and EU sanctions.

Gold-mining deals
In 2017, Sudan's then President Omar al-Bashir signed a series of deals with the Russian government during a visit to Moscow.

Included an agreement for Russia to set up a naval base at Port Sudan on the Red Sea.

Ukraine's air force commander said Russia missile was shot down using a US Patriot defense system. Meanwhile, a first known case of Ukraine successfully intercepting what's seen as among Moscow's most modern missiles. It has a range of up to 2000 kilometers (around 1,250 miles), with a speed 10 times that of sound. It is therefore difficult to intercept.

Russian casualties in pursuit of the city amount to 20,000 to 30,000 according to western estimates. While it has been argued that Ukraine has been taking fewer casualties, it is frequently observed that Kyiv is losing some of its best soldiers against former prisoners signed up to fight for the Wagner paramilitary group. 

A greater risk still is that Russia surrounds Bakhmut, leaving multiple brigades (Syrskyi cited four) besieged in the city, which could force Ukraine to use its western tanks to fight them. As Russian observers also hunt for clues of a spring offensive, Ukraine’s land forces chief suggests an unlikely strategy.

Breakaway Moldovan region suggests it to Russia to deploy more peacekeepers: Transnistria has repeatedly applied for an increase in the numberof Russian peacekeeper. Moldova’s unrecognised breakaway region of Transnistria 

Moldova does not allow Russia to deploy new troops in Transnistria, Russia has had hundreds of peacekeepers in the region since a bloody war between pro-Russian separatists and Moldovan government forces after the 1991 Soviet breakup.

“As long as Russia’s soldiers peacekeeping mission continues, Moldova is constrained in any military plans and preparations against Transnistria,” Leonid Manakov, the region’s envoy to Moscow, was cited as saying by RIA.

“Transnistria has repeatedly applied for an increase in the number of Russian peacekeepers … There is such an option, and it is justified in terms of the worsening security risks,” he was quoted as saying.

Moldova’s ties with Russia are currently very badly strained and have deteriorated rapidly over the course of Moscow’s full-scale invasion of neighbouring Ukraine

Fighting in the besieged town of Bakhmut has returned to the fore of discussions over the war, with Ukraine saying it’s reclaiming territory there. 

Russia’s mercenary fighters engaged in intense battles there appear increasingly angry at a perceived lack of support from Russia’s defense ministry. (Actually got stuck for many.months.)

The head of Ukraine’s ground forces said Wednesday. Russian troops have retreated to a distance of up to two kilometers (1.2 miles) on parts of the front in Bakhmut as a result of counteroffensives.😜😁😃

Bakhmut is 95% occupied by Russian troops. This hasn’t been confirmed yet by Kyiv, but is evident based on both official statements and those made by soldiers on the ground to Kyiv Independent.

May 20, in his typical style, Wagner mercenary group boss Yevgeny Prigozhin stood in front of the ruins of Bakhmut's train station with his fighters to announce that Bakhmut had been taken, down to the last multi-story apartment buildings at the western entrance to the city.

Latest update from Ukraine news on Bakhmut and on attack across into Russia Border claimed by groups called the “Freedom of Russia Legion” and “Russian Volunteer Corps.”

https://youtu.be/CnzBPTmnPL8

Yesterday’s cross-border raid from Ukraine into Russia’s Belgorod province by anti-Kremlin partisans known as the Russian Freedom Legion and the Russian Volunteer Corps is the largest offensive action inside Russia’s borders since Putin’s invasion began. The group seems to have struck the frontier post at Kozinka, apparently killing a border guard, before crossing into Russian territory around Grayvoron with armoured vehicles, mortars and artillery support....

Russians saying they launched a cross-border attack from Ukraine. What has happened in Belgorod?

Good actually. A group of anti-Putin nationals, who aligned with Ukrainian army, claimed responsibility for their attack in Russian’s corner of southwestern region of Belgorod, which borders north-eastern Ukraine...
