The situation in Bakhmut is today pretty much what it has been for a while: Bad but not critical. Orders are to defend, and the soldiers defend. Ukraine suffers losses, Wagner suffers many more losses. Thousands dead and wounded.
Wagner attacks daily, Ukraine counter attacks daily. The fighting on Patrica Lumumby street has been bad for a long time. Russia takes advantage of their artillery to destroy Ukrainian defensive positions. This is the cost of prioritizing offensives in other areas.

Russians are posting that they captured 2 blocks in Soledar. Which they have done. Like 2 months ago. And the streets they are claiming today are the exact same streets as then. Except this is a victory I guess.
This is their “victory” they are publishing. This map, their own map, shows they don’t even control the Knauf Gips factory anymore. ImageImage
On closer inspection, I believe this map of theirs also depicts that Russia does not fully control Pokrovske.

“The worst thing is that a few days before the announcement of mobilization, we took out a car loan. They bought an Opel and spent all their savings on the down payment. Therefore, we were penniless.“ Image
“I had to pawn all the gold jewelry that my husband gave me in order to buy him equipment.”

“Now he is in a military unit near the village of Roschinsky in the Samara region. They have started training. I went to his apartment, handed over the food.”
“My husband came out to me for ten minutes, and then went to the shooting range. Then his brother, who is in the same unit, came to me and told me that they would not issue body armor to anyone.”

People seem curious about his writing so just for today I will repost it here in the form of a tweet thread.

Запоріжжя. У районі Чубарівки мор викосив кубло жмурків.🔥 Причому, як вже стало традицією, мобілізовано-дебілізованих.😂 Йо№нуло так непогано, що вйобували виживши полями.🤷🏻 Декількох піймали навіть у русі в напрямку Бердянську.☺️
Під Токмаком на себе прийняло удар трохи залізяччя, з яким, дуже сподіваємося, були і якісь там півні.☠️

Під Пологами в чергове жмурилися планово, хоча, як і під Гуляйполем (нещодавно один уйобок навіть самці своїй по телефону називав ці місця «полямі русскай слави»😂).

Russia says they are attacking "southeast" of Soledar and "northeast" of Soledar "near Yakovlivka." This is another way of saying they are scared to attack Soledar. Image
The past few days, Russia has attacked all around Avdiivka. Especially Opytne (and the western side of Opytne is referred to as Vodyane). Also the area south of Maryinka (Podjeda). ImageImageImage
Russian artillery say they are aiming "less than 7km" "from the outskirts of Lysychansk" to hit the Ukrainian advance from Bilohorivka. What qualifies as "the outskirts of Lysychansk?" No idea. They've been trying to assault toward Bilohorivka to push Ukraine back. Image

Russian plane crashed into residential buildings.
Apparently the SU-34 crashed into a garden next to the building and the fireball set the building on fire.
It may be a training jet. I don’t know what kind of plane this was. Take the plane type with a grain of salt.

“The captains primary flight display doesnt work, autopilot 1 doesn’t work, the first officer’s primary flight display doesn't work, autobreak doesn’t work, landing gear must be retracted only after 1 minute, break fan 4 doesn’t work, APU doesn’t work, fuel pumps don’t work.”
“Captain’s flight management guidance system doesn’t work. How the fuck are you supposed to fly this fucking thing”
This is why you should stick to reputable airlines.
