Expect more after 1500 CET. Image
We can see two interesting fires in the north Kharkiv area. 3 spots in Zaliznychne and one in Artemivka. I consider both villages RuAF strongholds. Shelling was reported near Ivanivka, it is possible the AFU is applying some pressure in this area. ImageImageImage
According to the Borova township council, there has been a decrease of RuAF in the city centers in the community.

Wounded RU soldiers treated at a temporary hospital is being transported out.

The military equipment is concentrated along the railway track.
They also state:
"The mass transit of Russian troops from the south to the north through the territory of the community continues."

They earlier reported there seems to be a lot of movement in the area.

I do not think there is enough information to draw any conclusions, but we can speculate.
I think the movement away from population centers and concentrating close to the rail way, might indicate they are going to move equipment away from the area.
I think they might try to reinforce other sectors of the front. Possibly in the Kharkiv area or the south.
In the Sivers'k area, RuAF tried to advance in the direction of Ivano-Dar'ivka from Berestove and Verkhn'okam'yanka, they were pushed back. Based on this statement by GSUA I extended the RU area of control around Berestove, RuAF possibly captured the entire settlement. Image
Vuhlehirsʹka TPP area. RU forces were stopped from advancing Vershyna->Semyhirja, they are however trying to advance Myronivka->Luhans'ke and fighting is ongoing. -GSUA
By this I asses that Varsha is possibly under RU control, added a question mark for now, seeking further info. Image
RU channels claimed Wagner units with the help of artillery from the 1st Army Corps of the DPR took control of the Vuhlehirsʹka TPP. I added a question mark on the map, as per usual, video/picture confirmation is needed since the Ru channels can _not_ be trusted, ever. Image
"Germany had planned to support Ukraine with Gepard anti-aircraft tanks. Now the first three machines have arrived, Kyiv confirms."

Mobile air defense systems are exactly what Ukraine needs to be able to go on the offensive.
Anyone got an idea of where the 785th was located? Please let me know if you do.

Location of Borova. Image
A RU pontoon bridge being deployed over the Inhulets river in the Kherson region.

Interesting that a civilian car is driving over the bridge, but the RuAF are still deploying the pontoon bridge. This could mean it's too weak for heavy transports.

Updated shellings to 77 Image

GSUA reported a RU attack from Tsupivka in the direction of Dementiivka, outcome unclear. I have adjusted the RU area of control to include Tsupivka. Image
The Lada Legion (RuAF) tried to attack in the direction of Spirne and Ivano-Dar'ivka, unsuccessful. Image
Units from PMC Wagner had partial success attacking Vuhlehirsʹka TPP according to GSUA. RU channels claimed it had been captured yesterday but I have not seen any pictures yet, considering it unconfirmed. Image
Shellings close to Vysokopillya indicates locations of the AFU. Image
VDV unit moving from Melitopol to possibly Kherson

The first video is filmed at the purple pin. I think the 2nd video is showing them moving from the train station to the purple pin, but I have not been able to geolocate them yet. 46.847113086, 35.375478031 ImageImageImage
I believe the Z has been painted recently along with the tactical mark. I do not have a match for that tactical for any VDV unit.
My best guess would be elements of 98th or 106th ImageImage
For the second video I believe they are moving in the residential areas from the railway station. Possible area. Image
There is also this, train with equipment moving north toward Melitopol.

The only reason for them to be there is for them to be spotted there. This is part of Russian hybrid warfare escalations.
They decided to go and stand on this little piece of road right here.

There is some kind of local deal where Estonians are allowed to drive over that little stretch of Russian land if they don't stop.

Rough infil/exfil path of the UVU shooter, based on photos, videos and eye whitness reports. Green arrows are guestimated paths between sightings. Image
In the start of this video, the UVU shooter can be seen walking towards the campus, at the end he can be seen running away from it.

Ukrainian Drone hit the Deng Xiaoping Logistics Complex which is part of the Alabuga Special Economical Zone. The Alabuga SEZ is where they produce the Shahed drone.
The DXLC is a railway logistics center being built in partnership with China to support the fast growing Alabuga SEZ. Image
At the actual SEZ they are expanding at a rapid pace, they are building on site housing and/or office space for tens of thousands of employees. Their goal is likely to significantly scale up the production of drones. Image

This is an interesting case. The local municipality decided to investigate their legal options to force the church to move.
Nothing says church like high metal fences, guard dogs and military age males in hoodies. Image

The reason the confidence is low, is a lack of data. They simply dont have enough information to know yet. Desplite that, the US President proclaims complete destruction, an assesment likely based more on his whishes than any intelligence.
Image
Furthermore, they are trying to supress any discussion about this and might actually prevent the DIA to do their job properly, they know a negative report will not be precieved well by the White House. Image
Hegseth also tells a story which does not align with reality. We have all seen the pictures. There isnt a mountain of rubble. Hegseth says he have seen it all, and i wonder if it was during his time as prison guard or if it was during his time as a instructor? Image
