Keep in mind, the frontline is constantly moving and positions are changing hands.
Kreminna-Siversk
No significant change here, minor position swapping is happening daily. The AFU repulsed attacks in the area of Ploshchanka, Chervonopopivka and Spirne.
This is what happens to the Russians trying to attack in the Sprine area.
Bakhmut
Increased attacks north of Bakhmut. As I have mentioned before, I believe Bakhmut is safe as long as Ukraine holds Soledar. RU channels report Wagner are attacking around Soledar. They also report fighting on the outskirts of Klishchiivka.
No evidence supporting the RU claims has emerged, but I find it plausible their claims are true.
The AFU repulsed attacks around Yakovlivka, Soledar, Bakhmutske, Pidhorodne, Bakhmut, Klishchiivka and Andriivka.
Even if we hear reports of RU "running out of storm troops" and "they are running low on ammo", we should not underestimate their capabilities. They still have a large number of mobilized which has not yet been committed to the fight, those will have some training.
This reporter says the orcs are getting "an erotic experience from behind" around Bakhmut. Otherwise he would not be able to walk around the city center like that.
It's been a while since I've asked for donations, the reason for this is, wintertime provide less opportunities to buy Satellite images due to weather conditions. And they are not always very attractive to look at because of this.
It's likely the AFU advanced in the area of Kolomyichykha and Pidkuichans'k, the extent is unclear. Centre for Defense Strategies reports UA 92nd brigade and Belarusian volunteers liberated Pidkuichans'k.
According to ISW both Rybar and Ukrainian general staff RU the AFU shelled Kolomyichykha. ISW assess the town is liberated but I'm not convinced. It could still be contested.
These tree reports combined contributes to my assessment the AFU made progress in the area and most likely entered both settlements.
I'm sorry, I should have clarified, the AFU are now possibly close enough to Svatove to be able to smell eventual Orc BBQ parties.

Allegedly, Kadyrov shot one of his wives in the leg after she accused him of becoming a LGBT drug addict because of his inability to preform. This is most likely just stupid rumors, but I don't really mind when it comes to Kadyrov.
This thread is brought to you by a Russian warlock trying to scare people in to joining the army, with the argument of a death by social media is worse than dying in war.
It would be helpful if you like and retweet this tweet.
Something might be going on at Engels Air Base in Russia. Sounds of explosions and air raid alerts.
If this checks out, it will be a huge embarrassment for Russia. t.me/lachentyt/24607
I'll share this for the purpose of crowd sourcing more info. I'm very skeptical.
