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,

Yesterday RuAF used around 60+ long range standoff weapons for the sole purpose of terrorizing civilians.

These could all have been used to target AFU command posts and ammo storages close to the front line to aid their ammunition starved troops.
Priorities I guess...
The Putin regime aims to spread fear and lower the will among the UA population to defend their country and possibly for them to start negotiation.
I have feeling they are instead creating range, unity and an even stronger will to defeat the Russian invaders. I think videos like this tells us a great deal about the determination and resilience of the Ukrainian people.

❌False

I am about 95% sure this is not in southern Ukraine. This is most likely from Kyiv region, possibly early march.
Things must be going poorly for RuAF, this is the second video lie I see today. They usually do that when something bad has happened to them.

And since people think RU forces did not use Civilian vehicles that early in the war.
