Civilians noticed a large convoy heading south through Starobilsk and towards Severodonetsk. These observations were made independently and support each other. One witness reported large numbers of infantry and BMPs (an armored vehicle that carries infantry and has a big gun).
Russians increased the rate at which they are fortifying Svatove, they also blew up bridges near the town (I am not sure which bridges).
Russia used remote mining near Berestove, showing the area is definitely not under their control.
There are reports of Russian artillery fire near Pisky, which I believe represents fire near the Anthill or Republica Mist, if not both (I have marked both).
Russians posted a video proving Ukrainian control of the forests southeast of Opytne.
Near Hulyaipole, Russia tried to push Ukrainian forces back north. Ukraine destroyed the Russian attack with artillery fire.
Ukraine heavily shelled Beryslav and Borozenske. In Borozenske an artilleryman told me "we killed one of everything." I interpret this as a tank, a bmp, an artillery piece, etc.
Ukrainian MOD confirmed the strike on Beryslav yesterday.

I think everyone is tired of the “did they liberate Terny and Torske” messages. No. The Russian propagandists lied. Just like they always do. Just like they are paid to do.
Do you really think they would spend a week *literally crying* about losing these towns and then not post vidoes if they were recaptured?
Furthermore, don’t you think Wargonzo, a guy who is emotionally (and romantically) involved with the town of Lyman (it is really creepy, I cannot stress that enough) would be the first to jump at announcing such a thing? Instead, he talked about everywhere else in Ukraine.
I am going to post an essay (is this the right word?) written by yuri Gudymenko. This will take several tweets, but I am posting in the original language.
Я не про мову, звичайно, хоча мову вони не розуміють теж – звідси всі легенди про «польскіх найомніков» після радіоперехоплень українською. Я про інше.
Вони абсолютно, цілком і повністю не розуміють нашу психологію.
Наприклад, зараз вони впевнені, що після вчорашніх ударів ми хочемо здатись, хоча насправді після вчорашніх ударів ми тільки більше хочемо перемоги – і рекордно швидкі збори донатів на армію це підтверджують.
The shit Crybar posted today is stuff I reported days ago and doesn’t represent any change in the situation. Really just shows how disconnected Crybar is from the ground.
In the Kharkiv area, Russia launched several minor attacks on the border region (1,2), which accomplished nothing. Russia launched airstrikes from Russian airspace and fired missiles into Kharkiv city.
