Keep in mind, the frontline is constantly moving and positions are changing hands.
Svatove
The AFU repulsed an attack around Stel'makhivka. Wargonzo reported RU attacks on Stel'makhivka and Dzherelne which made me retract the RU line from the town and move in the UA forward line to include the town.
Last night there were people asking for information about RU troop movement along the road indicated in magenta. The AFU shelled Svatove all night, in the area of the train station, possibly giving the reinforcements a warm welcome.
Siversk
The AFU repulsed an attack in the area of Bilohorivka. I assume the attack was made by the newly arrived Lada lottery contenders of the 7th regiment of the so called LNR. No news regarding Kreminna.
Wargonzo reports attacks in the direction of Rozdolivka, Vesele and Vyimka.
Bakhmut
The AFU repulsed attacks in the area of Soledar, Ivanivske (must be in the direction of) and Klishchiivka. There might be some small gains by the RU on the eastern side, but nothing confirmed.
Donetsk
The AFU repulsed attacks around Kam'yanka, Vesele, Avdiivka, Krasnohorivka and Mar'inka. RuAF are constantly pushing for the encirclement of Avdiivka without success.

🧵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.
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.
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.
