Russian commanders hope overwhelm Ukrainian with sheer numbers, hoping Ukrainians would be forced on defensive & cease their offensive efforts on western flank of Pokrovsk. However, Russians already exhausted their reserves area & ran out of steam continued assaults. To solve Russian commanders redeployed forces from other sector front, allowing them to fulfill their however, they not solve their problem of shortage in armored vehicles, as issue was gripping Russians all over frontline in Ukraine. As they lack armored vehicles Russians use civilian cars, pickup trucks & donkey for the assaults instead with Russian forces increased intensity of their attacks @same level of intensity their initial attempt to take Pokrovsk into a pincer contrary Russians gained significant ground here barely made any advancements this time at all.

Zooming into Uspenivka to use as eg, Ukrainians used drones to scatter landmines across main hardened road Russians used & drone operators targeted any Russian vehicle moving into settlement, Russian soldiers managed dismount tried to move into buildings. This Ukrainian drone team reported they were eliminating up to 20 Russian soldiers a day, underscoring high casualty rate of enemy tactics. Geolocated combat footage reveals periodic heavy rain made unmaintained frontline roads extremely slippery, & driver lose control of vehicle & drive straight into landmine placed on road, as enemy drove van up Uspenivka had already been detected on approaches by reconnaissance drone, Ukrainian fighters settle enemy quickly setup machine gun to meet enemy assault head-on. Ukrainian soldiers opened fire oncvehicle with zero protection for Russian soldiers crammed inside, as bullets tore through vehicle. After ready to repulse the next Russian car assault by Ukrainian.

Aftermath footage shows Ukrainian machine gun had utterly devastated Russian van leaving the vehicle a burning wreck as fallen Russian soldiers lay around it, most of whom did not even make it off. Footage shows a high number of destroyed Russian civilian cars scattered in signaling Russians continue to launch assaults with same tactic, despite failing time and time again. Overall, Russians trying stall Ukrainian offensive by throwing continuous wave of bodies at Ukrainian lines. While this effective in no results, Ukrainians are allowing already depleted Russian forces to destroy their combat capabilities even more, meantime, Ukrainians continue to find weak spots are ready to exploited, improving their position on front.

Ukrainian counteroffensive: Regaining the op initiative b'cos of Ukrainian tactical successes. Retaking several key positions at Pischane, Kotlyne, Shevchenko, and Solone to tighten noose around Russian western flank. Ukrainian advance would result in complete elimination of Russian pincer, enemy are doing everything they can to preserve at any cost, Russian are throwing endless waves of meat wave assaults at Ukrainian lines.

After weeks of relentless assaults and tactical pressure, Ukrainian forces finally sealed up Kotlyne. Encirclement now complete, they’ve begun next phase of calculated clearing op on settlement’s ruins & already forcing Russian troops to flee, surrender, or be vanquished under drone fire and air strikes. As from previous reports, Ukrainians gradually dismantled the outer layer of Russian defenses around Kotlyne, and launched a coordinated pincer operation, capturing the northern and southern parts of the settlement using thunder-run tactics. Now, it was time to fully secure the encirclement, and initiate a clearing operation to remove the remaining Russian forces from the settlement, and consolidate full control of it. To halt Ukrainian advances and prevent them from gaining the operational initiative, Russians launched constant meat-wave assaults all over the Pokrovsk front.

Chinese POW says he doesn’t want to return to Russia, wish togo back China.

A senior Ukrainian defense official has expressed his view that North Korean troops fighting alongside Russian forces have fully mastered modern fighting tactics, posing a serious threat on the battlefield. Andrii Cherniak, said spoke for Main Intelligence Directorate of Ukraine's Defense Ministry, spoke to NHK on Thursday about North Korean troops that have been deployed to the western Russian region of Kursk. Ukrainian forces have been engaging in cross-border attacks on the region. Cherniak said North Korean casualties have so far amounted to around 5,000, and 6,000 other soldiers from the country are in Kursk and can continue to fight. He noted North Korean troops initially went on some kind of large-scale offensive were immediately defeated by Ukrainian artillery and drones.

He said this has made them change their tactics, and they are now moving in groups of one to two people. "Unfortunately, we can talk about the evolution, about the successful training of North Korean military." He said North Korean soldiers have learned tactics of using unmanned aerial vehicles & electronic warfare. He added they are fully mastering weapons tactics Russia uses on the battlefield. He
also noted it was considered that would be a language barrier between North Korean & Russian forces. But expressed his view the troops from North Korea have fulfilling their duties as assault units, even without communicating with Russian. Specifically, North Korean soldiers receive commands or instructions to "reach this or that in frontier" then go forward, added that once have completed their task, they get a foothold there without constant communications with Russian side.

He also pointed out that Russia's military is considering attacks on Sumy in northeastern Ukraine & eastern region of Kharkiv. He did not rule out possibility that North Korean soldiers will be involved in these offensives. Cherniak also noted half of the shells used by Russia are made in North Korea, which he said is also supplying missiles to Russia. He said these missiles were at first not so accurate, they would land more than 100 meters away from their intended targets, but they have now become much closer to targets. He said North Korean troops in Kursk will take tactics of modern warfare back home & teach them to other soldiers in their country. North Korea is a threat to Ukraine and the Asia-Pacific region.

U.S. Congressman Brian Fitzpatrick, a pro-Ukraine Republican representing Pennsylvania, visited Ukrainian troops near the front U.S. Congressman Brian Fitzpatrick, a pro-Ukraine Republican representing Pennsylvania, visited Ukrainian troops near the front line on April 18, following his meeting with President Volodymyr Zelensky in Kyiv.
"These are amazing soldiers, the men and women of the Ukrainian military, much like the men and women of the U.S. military, have this amazing fighting spirit. They're fighting for their democracy, they're fighting for the freedom – all of us in America need to stand behind them," Fitzpatrick said in a video address filmed on the front line, published on his Facebook account.
"I always have and always will have their back. I encourage all my colleagues in Congress to come here."
Fitzpatrick's visit comes as Washington signaled that it is ready to cease its mediation efforts to end Russia's war against Ukraine if an agreement is not reachable.
In a post shared on Facebook, Fitzpatrick published another video, showing him signing an artillery shell with a message to Russian President Vladimir Putin.
“It was my profound honor to deliver a very ‘personal’ message to Vladimir Putin today, from the front lines of the war near the Russian border, on behalf of our PA-1 community,” Fitzpatrick wrote.
He said he had spent several days on the ground, visiting artillery units of the National Guard and the drone operators from the Third Assault Brigade, who he praised for "completely changing warfare - not just here but across the globe."
Fitzpatrick said that during the visit, the group was shelled near the Russian border, tracked by Russian drones, and forced to carry out an emergency evacuation from the area.
According to Fitzpatrick, the territories previously occupied by Russian forces were "completely burned down."
“That's what they do. They overwhelm you with bodies, overwhelm you with artillery with not a lot of thought behind it,” he said.
Earlier on April 17, Fitzpatrick met with President Volodymyr Zelensky, during which the two discussed U.S. security guarantees for Ukraine, the proposed full and unconditional ceasefire, and broader efforts to achieve what Zelensky described as “a dignified and lasting peace.”
Zelensky praised Fitzpatrick's commitment, particularly his decision to meet with Ukrainian soldiers near the front. “This is very valuable. Thank you for your support!” Zelensky said.
Fitzpatrick serves as the ranking member of the House Foreign Affairs Subcommittee on Europe, Energy, the Environment, and Cyber.
