It would be helpful if you like and retweet this tweet, I'm testing something.
I'm trying a different "format" today, it seems Twitter wont find my updates when searching for the word "Update" after November 16th.

Yesterdays thread:
Shelling locations reported by UA general staff today
Weather by @davidhelms570
No cold front in sight.
Overview of the Svatove front.S
Svatove
The AFU repulsed attacks in the area of Kuzemivka -> Novoselivs'ke and Kolomyichykha -> Stelmakhivka. No major change in this area since yesterday. I have done a large update of RU unit locations in this area, available on interactive map.
Kreminna
The AFU repulsed attacks around Ploshanka and Chervonopivka. I believe both of those town are controlled by RU units.
I did a test using satellite images to draw the frontline purely based on visible scarring from shellings and track marks from vehicles.
This was the result. The purple line represent where the heavy scarring from shellings start. Blue dashed is where I roughly where I believe UA units have reached based on OSINT.
RU forces are sending a lot of reinforcements to the Kreminna/Svatove area. This video show 10 T-90M in Severodonetsk heading north.
Overview Bakhmut front
No reports in the Siversk area today.
Bakhmut north
The AFU repulsed attacks around Berestove, Yakovlivka, Soledar and Bakhmut. As I mentioned yesterday, it seems like the AFU counter attack has calmed down the Russians a bit (They also reset weeks of RU progress in a few days)
A Pro UA telegram reports the AFU is counter attacking in the area of Yakovlivka, Bilohorivka and Berestove. I would not trust this too much. Time will tell.
t.me/Donbas_Operati…
Bakhmut south
The AFF repulsed attacks around Bakhmut, Opytne, Kurdyumivka, Ozaryanivka and Mayorsk. It's possible the AFU have cleared most of Optyne, but it's hard to tell from the videos. RU capture of Andriivka confirmed.
I do not believe RU forces have managed to cross the canal since they were last deleted west of it.
Monkey town
The AFU repulsed attacks around New York, Krasnohorivka Nevelske and Maryinka. I'm sure geniuses in Donetsk thought it was funny to attack New York just because Zelensky went to Washington. I've heard they like to shell it heavily on September 11th etc just because...
Marinka
RU forces claimed to have almost captured it a few months ago. Now they say they fight for every house half way in to town. To be honest, I'm not going to do a house by house report for it. It will be contested and that is about it.
The rest of the frontline remains unchanged.
RU MoD reported they destroyed 57 "artillery units". I suspect this number is completely made up.

I have figured out the problem. Thank you all who retweeted and liked my post today.

The Russians have captured Urozhaine. They have wasted huge resources in doing so.

🧵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. Image
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. Image
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. Image
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. Image

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. Image
