In the Kharkiv area, Russia attacked Petrivka today (1). Male Vesele is considered a gray area, and Ukraine has pushed troops through there in the recent past. The attack on Petrivka failed.

Even though Russia withdrew most of its forces in the Izyum area, they are still strong enough to perform minor offensive operations. Today they attacked Dmytrivka (2) and Dolyna (3).

They also “tried to improve their tactical position” near Staryi Karavan (4). I do not know what this last part means. Perhaps Ukraine is fighting on that side of the river? Maybe Russia tried to move forces to the river to attempt a river crossing. I don’t know.

Russia attacked the same areas in the Bakhmut area without any updates or notable changes.

My sources told me that Russia committed a lot of force in an attack on Krasnohorivka today (10). They used concentrated artillery power, air support, and ground forces to attack the town and made absolutely zero progress. The attack was a total failure.

South of Avdiivka, Russia attacked Pervomaiske, but Ukraine repelled their attack (11). That artillery marker in Pervomaiske is a geo-confirmed artillery strike from today, showing my map is accurate in this area.

My Ukrainian sources confirm their withdrawal from Blahodatne. Russia has completely captured the town. They are sending out recon to find a way to attack Partyzanske (12).

Russia has no realistic way of attacking Pervomaiske (yes, another one) because the town is heavily fortified and a significant Ukrainian defensive strong point.

However, they feel they can capture Partyzanske and the portion of the T1508 highway between Partyzanske and Snihurivka. By the way, Partyzanske more or less means “guerilla fighter town.”

Russia attacked north from the Shyroka Balka area toward Tavrijske, but Ukrainian defenders managed to repel the attack (13).

That is all I have for today.
