"The battle pig 300". There is one known issue, if it falls over, it will require a special operation to get it on it's hooves again.
The Ukrainian General staff reported shellings all along the front line except for in the Kherson region.
Kherson-Svatove
The AFU repulsed an attack in the area of Ternova.
I have been told RuAF are trying to attack with tanks north of Svatove, this might explain the high number of reported destroyed tanks by GSUA the last two days. I think they reported almost 40 tanks destroyed.
Bakhmut
RuAF tried to attack Ivangrad, Bakhmut, Bakhmutske, Soledar, Kurdyumivka, Krasnohorivka. They did not utilize any battle pig 300, so they were not successful.
Donetsk
The AFU repulsed attacks around Novomykhailivka, Nevelske, Andriyivka, Maryinka, and Kamianka. They are not really making any progress in this area.
According to Ukrainian general staff, the offensive in Kherson has slowed down due to bad weather. We will see a lot more bad weather in the coming months and might not see any major movements in a while.

🧵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.
