Something burned in Novocherkassk, Russia. Reportedly a military barrack.

Over to the general events. An echelon with American military equipment was spotted in Poland.
Two parliament members from Finland wrote an appeal to the Finnish government to supply Ukraine with Leopard 2 tanks. Finland owns about 100 of them.
Budanov visited Bakhmut, 500m from the front. Hero.
Ukrainian businessman Konstantin Zhevago was detained in a French resort of Courchevel. “He is a defendant in several criminal proceedings of the State Bureau of Investigation, documents for extradition are being prepared now,” Tatyana Sapyan, communications adviser of the SBI.
"Ukraine plans to develop air-to-air drones capable of shooting down Iranian Shahed kamikaze drones," Vice Prime Minister of Ukraine and Minister of Digital Transformation Mykhailo Fedorov said.
The USA will purchase IFATDS automated artillery fire control system kits for Ukraine's HIMARS. The kits are intended for 18 future new HIMARS of Ukraine
To the fronts, #Bakhmut

➡️Wagner managed to retake ground in Opytne (3). After my initial thoughts of claims being debatable, Russia did manage to push AFU back. Opytne is 50/50 again, very fluid
➡️Fighting continues NE of Soledar (1) and in Bakhmuts'ke (2), Situation is hard...
The 17th separate tank brigade of the Armed Forces of Ukraine in Bakhmut. They have been re-equipped with T-72M1 tanks.
#Donetsk-#Vuhledar-#Pavlivka

➡️Russia shelled Novomykhailivka, Avdiivka (2), Mar'inka, Vuhledar (3) and some other towns. In general its calm. Only in Mar'inka the fighting is heavy on a daily basis
➡️In Mar'inka (1), the map changes daily, both parties control half some or less
#Kreminna

➡️Commander Cherevaty confirmed Russia moved it's command center away from Kreminna. He also said: "Kreminna is not de-occupied yet"
➡️Russia shelled Chervonopopivka again.
➡️AFU (81st brig.) stormed the area east of Bilohorivka near the water facility (1) with success
I have modified the area controlled by the AFU south of Kreminna. The AFU is close by, but in hindsight my map was to positive, so I adjusted that. My estimate now is that the AFU is positioned about 1.5-2 km from the southern suburbs. AFU Recon units are confirmed working.
#Kupyansk-#Svatove

➡️ISW claims Kolomyichykha (2) is under AFU control. GSUA confirmed the town was shelled by Russia. More confirmation needed, but we also lean towards control.
➡️Pershotravneve (1) and Vil'shana were both shelled today.
➡️I put Vil'shana back to contested.
