Svatove
Rapist and forced mobilized tried to attack in the area of Stel'makhivka and Novoselivs'ke. The AFU made them realize they are not welcome.
Siversk
Units from Blyat Brigade showed of their skills by failing attacks around Tors'ke, Spirne and Berestove. The Russian army is a joke, there is no doubt this are will be liberated soon.
Bakhmut
It appears as Wagner has run out of cannon fodder in this area for now. They probably ran out of their quota of the 80k rapidly deployed mobilized.
The AFU repulsed attacks around Bakhmut and Toretsk
Donetsk
Capturing Pisky will open the road to Dnipro the Russians said. It's been a month. I'm waiting.
Pervomais'ke, Krasnohorivka, Mar'inka, Novomykhailivka and Pavlivka were all places where Russian rapists and goat lovers died for nothing.
Kinburn
I'm not going to speculate if the rumors are true or not.
But if they would advance from there and advance towards the sea in the Polohy - Pavlivka area, then I think things will be interesting.
Since the Kerch bridge was damaged, Russian trucks has been going around, there might be a window of opportunity here before the Russians can open both lanes on the Kherch bridge.
This might be the masterclass in military strategy kim dotcom was talking about.
Dunkirk 2.0
I mean, Putin is very found of history.

The Ukrainian general staff reported shellings all along the active frontline. There are also some shellings on the right Bank of the Dnipro in northern Kherson region.
The liberation of Kherson is the result of 3 months of attrition warfare. Continued attacks on the Russian ground lines of communications was at the end too much for Russia. To succeed this this, you also need them to spend ammo and fuel. They spend ammo and fuel during combat.
I get a lot of questions about the Russian retreat.
Why would they announce the retreat before they leave?
Why would they announce it on TV?
Here is what I believe:
The retreat has been going on for weeks.
There is only a small number of troops left east of the river, mostly lower valued units like mobniks and goat lovers. Some will most likely be sacrificed to cover the retreat of the last units
Announcing it on TV gives the Russian leadership a chance to save face. Kadyrov and Prigozhin immediately came with statement saying Surovikin was very brave and that he saved a lot of Russian lives. This announcement was purely for domestic propaganda.
