I will go into more detail tomorrow on the stream, but here is a brief update
South of Klishchiivka, we see heavy shelling over the past few days near Andriivka. Especially where the road enters the town. Could point to liberation

Slightly further south, west of Kurdyumivka, the forest strips have been completely destroyed by shelling, and the area is almost certainly controlled by Ukraine now.

South of Avdiivka, Ukraine has been attacking toward Pisky from Nevelske for the past week or so. We have had several videos of these assaults, including this one from several days ago.
Now we have satellite images showing MICLIC clearing a minefield

Today Ukraine announced the Liberation of Staromaiorske. Supposedly Russia still controls the adjacent town of Urozhaine, but the capture of Staromaiorske makes the defense of this town difficult/impossible.

You can see a celebration video.
Beyond Staromairorske and Urozhaine, there is the town of Zavitne and then the important settlement of Staromlynivka. We could also see a leveling of the line in the higher ground between Pryiutne and Staromaiorske, due to their supply lines being threatened from both sides.
East of Robotyne and nearing Verbove, there was an interesting video today of what may be a remote controlled Ukrainian vehicle driving toward the main Russian defensive line.
This event occurred here on the map.

Near this location we also see a large crater on the satellite imagery, perhaps a bomb.

Yesterday, Gachi posted a video of what appeared to be a large explosion going off in the same area. "Помилка вийшла. КАБ не трофейний, рсня трохи попала по своїм позиціям власним боєприпасом."
A little east of this position, we see heavy shelling on the satellite imagery, suggesting a possible Ukrainian advance along this forest strip. The parallel strip to the east shows no such damage.

Slightly closer to Robotyne, Ukraine had a disastrous assault on a Russian trench system where they lost three BMP in the assault and likely 3 more in a prior assault. In addition, there are 3 more destroyed vehicles of unknown ownership.

The video is too long for me to post so here are screen shots. https://t.co/ETX8AsFHhat.me/voenacher/49296
However, there is another video from roughly the same area where a vehicle claimed to be a Ukrainian M113 is destroyed.
I am not convinced this is a M113, I cannot identify it, personally. But if it is I believe it suggests Ukrainian has moved on from this position and is attacking somewhere else because I believe this vehicle is used for casualty evacuation and not assaulting in this area.
All in all, we can say Ukraine took significant casualties in this area. Likely 30-40 vehicles lost, hundreds wounded and dead. But Ukraine is digging defenses in new positions, bringing in reinforcements, and the attacks will continue. It is too early to say what will happen.
If you are wondering what Ukraine needs the most at the moment, the answer is simple: Ammo. Mortars. Mortars, MORTARS. Artillery. More mortars. Smoke rounds. More mortars.
Here are the losses I could identify today.
