Yesterdays thread:
Shelling locations reported by UA general staff today.
RU forces continue to shell civilian areas with absolutely no military value in the Chernihiv, Sumy, Kharkiv and Kherson region for the sole purpose of being assholes.

Keep in mind, the frontline is constantly moving and positions are changing hands.
Svatove
The AFU repulsed an attack in the area of Stel'makhivka. Kraken declared Novoselivs'ke liberated yesterday on telegram.
t.me/kraken_kha/226
Incase you missed this yesterday, it's a video of what is most likely the initial attack on Novoselivs'ke by kraken and 92nd back in early November.
Kreminna - Sivers'k
The AFU repulsed attacks in the area of Nevs'ke, Chervonopopivka and Bilohorivka. I do not believe there is any major change in this area.
One thing should be noted, the last few days UA general staff have reported an increased amount of vehicles destroyed. I think it's possible some of these are indications of counter attacks in the Svatove area.
Bakhmut
The AFU repulsed attacks around Bilohorivka, Soledar Bakhmutske, Pidhorodne, Bakhmut and Klishchiivka. RuAF are making incremental gains in this area, both RuAF and AFU are allocating huge resources for the Bakhmut fight, and it is costly for both sides.
Donetsk, home of the donkey lovers.
The AFU repulsed attacks in the area of New York (yes really), Krasnohorivka, Vesele, Avdiivka and Mar'inka.
As can be seen around Avdiivka, Ru forces have been advancing and trying to encircle Avdiivka for years. This tells us a little bit about their abilities to capture heavily fortified towns. This also give us an indicator for the future of Bakhmut.
RU MoD claim RuAF have captured Dorozhnianka, I assume they mean the actual settlement and not the old ruins marked as Dorozhnyanka (which they wrote). I think this is possible,

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

No noticeable changes, but it's clear RuAF are trying to advance west of Svatove, but without any major success.
