2/10 First by popular req. a full overview map of the current(8 aug) frontlines west of the #Inhulets river. As we can see there have been some (small) shifts in the overall line. As you can see i have included known 🇷🇺 defensive pos. and some published 🇺🇦 pos. Some details ⬇️

3/10 First we look at the sit. around #Stanislav. 🇷🇺VDV reinforcements arrived 15-7,and started a push toward #Oleksandrivka pushing 🇺🇦 back across the coastal road W and N taking control of the town. 45th Spetnaz are active here. 🇺🇦 are using art. & tank fire to stop the advance

4/10 meanwhile 🇺🇦 28th mech. brigade is keeping pressure on #ShyrokaBalka & #Sofiivka to prevent any move north.They are supported by #Terra drone rec. platoon aswell as SOF units & partisans in the area. Here a drone assisted strike in #Oleksandrivka

5/10 When we move W we can see 🇺🇦 forces taking ground, the small town of #Doslidne was abandoned after the ammo dep. was hit & consequently 🇺🇦 forward troops took position there, the same for #Myrne & #Parysheve. 🇷🇺 forces retreated to fixed def. east.

6/10 When we look more north we can see the town of #Pravdyne has been left by 🇷🇺 forces, their def. pos. E of town had been hit by 🇺🇦 art. from begin july. and became hard to reinforce because SOF activity S & the 28th mech E & N.🇷🇺 forces fell back E.

7/10 the stragic town of #Kyselivka seems to be abandoned by 🇷🇺 forces. 🇺🇦 forces have not moved forward to the town prob. because of a large nr. of art. in the area of #Chornobaivka. 🇷🇺 forces fell back to def. pos. just outside #Klapaya & #Krutiyar covering the M14 highway.

8/10 🇷🇺 forces seem not yet to have give up #Chornobaivka airport even though it was hit serveral times with #HIMARS.Formidable def. pos. have been setup @ NE & SW corners. At least 1 BTG seem to be stationed there with 100+ dug in vehicles.🇷🇺 have setup new warehouse locations S

9/10 Looking on the line between #Kutiyar & #Novomykaivka we see a string of 🇷🇺 defenses. These seem te be spaced approx. 5 km. apart for optimal firing coverage. Artillery positions are prob. located to the E behind the river and relocate regulary to avoid counter fire.

10/10 newly arrived 🇷🇺 forces tried to push toward #Partizanske from #Snihurivka & #Kalynivka. They were pushed back and 🇺🇦 forces established a foothold in #Lyubyne.🇷🇺 forces have a forward pos. in #Novopetrivka. Heavy fighting there at this moment between forward units

11/11 Overall we can see 🇺🇦 small gaines & some counter attacks by 🇷🇺.However the 🇺🇦 forces seem to wait till the 🇷🇺 re-supply situation gets worse and their buildup in the rear is complete before they will make a major push toward #Kherson city or not 😉.
