My daily update! #ukrdailyupdate

Russia performed two terrorist attacks today, and I will not talk about either. I posted a more substantial update yesterday. Everything from then is still true.

If you would like to view the map: google.com/maps/d/u/0/edi…

There is heavy ongoing fighting along the line of contact in the Kharkiv area. All of the areas where blue and red touch have fighting, I am not going to mark it beyond that.

South east of Kharkiv, Russia tried to push a recon element towards Shchurivka (1). Russia has now taken actions against Zalyman, Shchurivka, Husarivka, and Chepil. It is obvious that Russia is interested in this area.

In the Siversk area, Russia sent a recon element towards Verkhnokamyanske (2), but they were identified and repelled.

In the Bakhmut area, there is ongoing fighting in Soledar (3), Vershyna (5), Semyhirya (5), and Novoluhanske (6). Pokrovske is effectively captured, but Russia is still clearing out the town before moving on to attack Bakhmut.

Novoluhanske is also effectively captured as Ukrainian forces are slowly pulling back to Semyhirya.

In the Donetsk area, Russia launched assaults into Kamyanka (7), Avdiivka (8), and Krasnohorivka (11). All were repelled. Russia sent recon elements towards Vodyane (9) and Pisky (10) but they were identified and repelled. There is ongoing fighting in Marinka (12).

South of Donetsk, the 53rd announced they have captured an unnamed village (13). There are three villages that pop into mind as possibilities. First, Ukraine captured Mykilske recently without official statement.

Second, Shevchenko has been a gray area for several weeks, and Russia has been heavily shelling it. Third, Solodke has been changing hands between Russia and Ukraine and could have been recaptured.

A little to the west, Russia attacked Velyka Novosilka (14). The attack was repelled, but it appears this town could be a major focus for any future Russian offensives, which could occur sooner than you think.

South of Kryvyi Rih and north of Kherson, Russians claim to have detected and repelled a Ukrainian recon element (15).

Russian sources confirmed Ukrainian control over Andriivka and Lozove and claim Bilohirka is contested. The interesting thing is that the same Russian sources claim Blahodativka is contested (16), which would represent a new Ukrainian movement. At least new to me.

In the past day or so I have noted 17 significant artillery strikes/missile strikes. Many of these strikes have been on ammunition warehouses. Some of them on troop concentrations, and a few on vehicle concentrations.
