Kupyansk
Heavy fighting seems to be going on in the surrounding settlements. In Vil'shana the orcs are stealing all the cars.
Lyman
Shandryholove liberated according to geolocated images.
Shellings indicate further advances north by the AFU. Drobysheve seems like a hard nut to crack, but crack it will. To the south east, the AFU are attacking in the Zarichne - Yampil direction.
Bakhmut north.
Ruaf Attacked in the direction of Vyimka and Bakhmutske. The attacks were repulsed by the AFU. 57th Motorized Rifle brigade is in this area, they have taken in reinforcements from he split up 3rd Army Corps.
Bakhmut south
This is the same thing as the last few weeks, RuAF focusing on attacking south of Bakhmut. There is no or very little progress for RuAF. All these attacks were repulsed.
Donetsk
RuAF keep attacking in the same areas. Pervomais'ke, Pobjeda, Novomykhailivka and Pavlivka. There was even a shelling reported in the area of Pisky today. Ukrainian über soldiers successfully defended their positions.
Very little information is coming out from the Kherson - Zaporizhzhia section.
According to two pro russian channels the AFU broke the russian defenses around Stavky and successfully encircled Drobysheve. Someone just smacked the tip of the bulge and made it shrink. This is still unconfirmed RU rumors.
🧵The situation in Vovchansk is interesting. The map shows geolocated positions the last 8 days h/t @UAControlMap. When the first rumors about an encirclement at the aggregate plant, I thought it was BS. But it appears there is some truth to it, supposedly 83rd VDV.
The extent of isolation and the amount of people is unclear. Once interesting thing is the Russians committed one of their best units, 2nd Special Purpose Brigade to fight in the town. We have mostly seen poorly trained and equipped units without mechanized support in this fight
According to RU channels UA withdrew from the Filtration Plant in the east and Zenith in the south. This is good news, since avoiding an encirclement should be a priority at this point. It seems the coke plant and Kvartal high-rises are the current UA strongholds.
RU forces continue to try to fully encircle Avdiivka pushing mainly from 3 directions.
It remains to be seen if Ukraine are planning to withdraw from the east side of the city, but I think it's a pretty good idea to do so.
UA might chose to fight for the coke plant and Kvartal for a bit, but the gap for the gloc is only 3km and consists of 2 windbreaks.
I frequently get questions like:
"Are you ok?"
"What happened?"
"Why did you stop posting?"
So here we go⬇️
Yes I'm ok.

Time.
I have less time to follow Ukraine. I usually spent about 3-4 hours a day to just make my daily threads and going through all the information channels. To be able to keep the information reliable, I have to put in 6-10h per day. I dont have that kind of time anymore.
I lost my best friend in March, so I had go get a new one. He is getting a lot of my attention now.
🧵During the last week, Ukrainian forces have advanced 32km2 in the Robotyne direction. They are expanding their penetration of the Surovikin and have reached the outskirts of Verbove and Verbove.
