UKRAINE: THE SITUATION 51 - APRIL 10, 2022

The Russian forces have made territorial gains in Mariupol in the past 24 hours and have further strengthened operations along the Izyum-Slovyansk axis, but have not made any further territorial gains.

On April 10, the Russian forces have halved Mariupol from the city center to the coast, isolating the remaining Ukrainian defenders at two main locations: the main port of Mariupol in the southwest and the Azovstal steel plant in the east.

Russian forces, including a convoy with hundreds of vehicles captured by Maxar Technologies on April 8, continue to reinforce the Russian offensive in Izyum to link up with Russian positions in the Luhansk Oblast.
