The UA General staff reported shellings all along the front line except for the area close to Zaporizhzhia.
Kharkiv
The AFU repulsed attacks in the area of Zemlianka and Chuhunivka.
Svatove
GSUA stated the AFU threw out the occupies from Karmazynivka, Miasozharivka and Nevs'ke. I corrected my mistake yesterday around Makiivka. I was already on top of it thanks to @EerikMatero. He being younger and having better eyes than me figured out the video was old.
If we zoom in a bit we can see the AFU is getting really close to what I believe is the RuAF line of defense around Svatove. They have already control of some of the last settlements before they reach the RU defenses.
Getting past that line and then advancing down hill in to those towns just east of the P66 will not be easy.
I got some screenshots to show what we are dealing with. The AFU needs to attack in to those forest areas and then when they get out and want to attack down the hill they are completely exposed to the entire valley.
Some more images of the issue.
If you want to do like me and get a better view of the terrain details in Google earth, you can go in to the options and exaggerate it.
Bakhmut.
The AFU kicked Wagner's ass in Bakhmut the last few days and and pushed them back past the highway. I have adjusted the RU line of control accordingly.
The AFU repulsed attacks in the area of Spirne, Soledar, Bakhmut, Bakhmutske, Andriivka and Klishchiivka.
Donetsk
The fertilizer fraternity in Donetsk keep attacking in the area of Avdiivka, Pervomais'ke, Nevel's'ke, Mar'inka and Novomykhailivka. These attacks were stopped by the AFU.
I don't have any news about Kherson other than 500 mobilized Russians are supposed to have arrived in Rubanivka 46.9898, 34.1711, I'm still looking for information.

🧵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.
