 Russians got order to capture Chassiv Yar by May 9th, Ukrainian forces fortified defence. Russian troops have been ordered to capture the town of Chassiv Yar in Denechsk Oblast by May 9th. Ukrainian armed forces are strengthening defence in this direction to contain the enemy's advance, according to the General Staff of the Armed Forces of Ukraine on Facebook. Chief of the General Staff of the Armed Forces of Ukraine, Oleksandr Sirsky, noted that the enemy is attempting to breach the defence west of Bakhmut to reach the Sivesky-Denech Donbas Channel. Capturing Chassiv Yar will create conditions for further enemy advancement towards the Kramatorsk agglomeration. Sirsky emphasised that Ukrainian brigades have dug in effectively. Indeed, the armed forces managed to destroy infantry groups that advanced into the Novii micro-district. Occupiers were eliminated by FPV Kamikaze strikes and artillery fire. However, the threat remains relevant, considering that the Russian military command has tasked its troops with capturing Chassiv Yar by May 9th, Sirsky noted. According to him, measures have been taken to significantly reinforce brigades with ammunition, drones and electronic warfare assets to strengthen our troops' defence in this direction. The main conclusion from the two-day work on the front line is the necessity to enhance the quality of training, including the moral psychological component, increase the number of high-tech unmanned systems of various purposes with trained operators, and improve the quality of conducting asymmetric actions to reduce the enemy's combat potential, added the chief. Overall, following the capture of Abdiivka, Russian forces continue to push further eastward in an attempt to break through the defence. One of the enemy's priorities is Chassiv Yar. The Ministry of Defence emphasised that the village of Bodanivka in the Bakhmut district remains under the control of the Ukrainian armed forces where heavy fighting is ongoing. The modernised Ukrainian uncrewed surface vessels can now deliver nearly a ton of explosives over more than 1,000 kilometres. This means that the Security Service of Ukraine can target practically any point in the Black Sea, Artem Dektyurenko, spokesperson for the Security Service of Ukraine said this. Dektyurenko did not disclose all the technical specifications but noted that these are next-generation drones, on the improvement of which experts from the Security Service of Ukraine, the Ministry of Internal Affairs and other brothers-in-arms are working together. He mentioned that the current sea-baby uncrewed surface vessel differs from the previous model in appearance and technical characteristics. In addition, it is capable of delivering almost a ton of explosives over more than 1,000 kilometres. Dektyurenko said there were no alternatives to the Security Service of Ukraine's attack surface vessels worldwide in 2022. Existing Western drones were large but not manoeuvrable, making them easily detectable by enemy's radar stations. Recall, in October 2022, uncrewed surface vessels of the Security Service of Ukraine attacked the Russian Black Sea fleet ships in Sevastopol Bay, damaging, in particular, the frigate Admiral Makaroviy.In 2023, uncrewed surface vessels of the Security Service of Ukraine struck the Khorvets-Sammem and Pavel Derzhaven, the tanker SIG, the landing ship Olinogorsky Gornjak, and damaged.
