"It just gives you an insight into the fact that these places were where people lived, where children played. People went to do their their daily business go and work come back go to school and now they're just husks of their former selves it's just desperately sad"
Hello Team!
Jonathan provides an update on the frontlines of the Russia-Ukraine war for April 10, 2023. He notes that due to the Easter weekend, there are fewer detailed reports than usual.

📍 FRONT-LINE UPDATE -🗺️ MAP LEGEND
Russian attack on bridge in northern Ukraine
- Russian forces damaged a bridge in northern Ukraine near the Russian border in Chernihiv Oblast
- The bridge is located 1.3 km from the border and crosses a river
- Jonathan questions the strategic value of Russia targeting this bridge, as it does not seem to provide any tactical advantage for either side
Russian defensive fortifications
- Russia has been developing extensive defensive fortifications a few kilometres behind the current frontline, according to satellite imagery analysis by Brady Africk
- The heaviest fortifications are in Luhansk, Zaporizhzhia, and northern Crimea
- This suggests Russia anticipates Ukrainian attacks in these areas
- The ISW reports Russia has concentrated 113 BTGs in Zaporizhzhia and 205 in Donetsk, but the size of these BTGs may be smaller than in the past, around 300 soldiers each
Frontline updates
- Kupyansk to Kreminna line: Low-intensity fighting with 7 engagements reported. Ukrainians made some gains northwest of Kreminna.
- Bakhmut: Fighting continues. Russians made gains in the north and east, while Ukraine counterattacked and regained ground in the south and southwest. The railway station and Church of All Saints remain under Ukrainian control.
- Avdiivka: No confirmed changes, but some Russian advances suggested by pro-Russian sources.
- Marinka: Russia has increased assaults and taken control of ~70% of the town, including the industrial area. The UK MoD notes Russia is expending significant resources for marginal gains here.
- Vuhledar: No major changes. The town's elevation provides Ukraine with good visibility and fields of fire against Russian attacks from the south.
Other updates
- Pro-Russian sources claim a hangar with HIMARS and other equipment was struck in Orakiv, but this is unconfirmed
- Explosions in Feodosia, Crimea were allegedly caused by Russia intercepting a Ukrainian Hrim-2 ballistic missile launched from the Alibey firing range near Odesa
- The Hrim-2 is a new Ukrainian system with a 300 km range that has recently become operational, though details are limited
