Updated satellite imagery indeed shows that the bridge at #Bohorodychne remains intact (as of yesterday June 7th), as we supposed. #Russian forces have indeed crossed here and are fighting for the town south of the Siverskyi donets river. There is also potentially a new crossing

set up west of the bridge, but it is unclear as it may be cloud or smoke disruption. We cannot make out the bridge at #Svyatogorsk near the Cave Monastery due to cloud cover though RU drone footage shown here indicates that it has been partially destroyed by retreating UA forces.
The monastery seems to be largely intact as we can see, thanks in part to an agreement between the combatants, potentially including the mayor of the city who is already being accused (typically) by #Kiev as a traitor. We can see that as of yesterday the town was still under fire
Some shelling continues tonight, but nowhere near the monastery which may be out of bounds by agreement (which is nice to see). This may indicate that the town is not yet under RU control, but is more likely some UA counterbattery attacks. The lack of a thermal footprint in
Bohorodychne for about 30 hours is interesting. It could mean that fighting is now very close quarters, that RU has in fact seized the town already, or that its crossing and attack failed and it is regrouping. We should know more on that soon. It has important repercussions since
if only #Sviatohirsk (in UAnian) has been captured by RU forces, and the bridge there has been destroyed, RU will have failed in this important crossing effort, delaying its goals with all the related consequences that go along with that (see quoted thread on this effort).
