Shelling locations reported by UA general staff today
Weather
14 day by @davidhelms570
Svatove
Wargonzo reported AFU attacks in the direction of Sofiivka.
Kreminna
The AFU repulsed attacks around Chervonopopivka and Ploshchanka. Wargonzo reports the AFU attacked in the direction of Holykove. I think the AFU are continually progressing at a slow pace in this area.
Siversk
The AFU repulsed an attack around Bilohorivka. I consider this town contested and I believe the AFU only have consolidated positions in the western parts of the town.
Bakhmut
The AFU repulsed attacks around Bakhmut, Opytne, Zelenopillya and Andriivka. Wargonzo reports the AFU counterattacked around Kurdyumivka and Ozarianivka. I think the AFU are trying to buck back RU forces which crossed the canal around Ozarianivka.
This is roughly what I think is going on around the city Bakhmut. Earlier in the week it was reported RU units managed to get in to the very eastern part of the residential areas of Bakhmut.
Even if they get in there and managed to establish a positions, they still need to be supplied. They might just send in new wagnerites as the old ones run out of supplies, that would be a very Russian solution to the problem.
Donetsk
The AFU repulsed attacks around Maryinka, Pobyeda and Novomykhailivka. Wargonzo reported additional RU attacks in the area of Vodyane, Pervomais'ke and Nevel's'ke.
There are some reports about explosion's in Luhansk. Local reporters claim it is RU planes going supersonic and/or Air Defense. At the same time, local chats report they lost electricity and gas. That must be the worst case of supersonic boom I've ever heard of.

It seems Girkin got lost on his way back from powdering his nose. But I found him again, he is back preforming his duty at the pole.
RU MoD today. Now lets talk about the unprofessional behavior of the Russian federation...
