The Ukrainian general staff reported shellings all along the front line except for in the Kherson region today.
Svatove-Siversk
The AFU repulsed attacks in the area of Andriivka and Bilohorivka.
Russian sources claim went back to Berestove after an offensive around Kuzemivka. That means I'm semi marking Berestove as blue. It's till on the front line so I'm not calling it liberated.
Wargonzo claims the AFU continues to attack in the direction of Pishchane in the Kreminna area. That could mean the AFU are positioned further east than on my map.
Overview.
Bakhmut
Nothing new in this area. RuAF attacked in the area of Bakhmut, Bakhmutske, Soledar, Zelenopilya and Yakovlivka . I have not even heard any made up success stories about the Russians capturing an outdoor toilet or some random power poles today.
Donetsk
WE have the usual suspects in this area.
Pervomaiske, Novobakhmutivka, Maryinka and Nevelske where they choice of the day for the Donetsk rape squad. The AFU defended their positions with the help of weaponized bird poop.
RuAF tried to advance in the Vremivka but no soup for them. This area has been fairly calm lately.
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.
The AFU are slowly establishing positions on the opposite side of the "river" in Kam'yans'ke, Zaporizhzhia. It's worth mentioning the "river" is probably pretty dry at this point.
This is what it looked like on July 17th when they were first geolocated on that side of the "river".
This morning multiple RU channels reported a UA offensive around Novodonets'ke, Novomaiors'ke and yesterday there were reports about activity around Shevchenko.
