Shelling locations reported by UA general staff today.
Four nights with double digit negative temperatures. The ground will freeze, Russians, bodies will freeze will freeze.
Overview images

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. Possibly increased activity in the area of the Kupyansk bridge head based on shellings.
Kreminna-Siversk
The AFU repulsed attacks around Makiivka, Ploshchanka and Bilohorivka. Local telegram chats report small arms fire "close" to Kreminna, unclear if they are shooting at drones or if there is actual fighting.
Bakhmut
The AFU repulsed attacks around Rozdolivka, Soledar, Krasna Hora, Pidhorodne, Bakhmut and Kurdyumivka. It seems RuAF are making small gains north and south of Soledar, a few trenches/firing points per day.
Both sides are taking heavy losses around Bakhmut, but the numbers are never in favor of the attacker in a attritional conventional ground war.
The continued RU attacks on Bakhmut could be compared with the RU attacks in the Izium area during the summer. This is how the RuAF destroyed most of their combat potential. During the summer they used a lot of forced mobilized LDNR but they ran out and now use mobilized Russians
Donetsk
The AFU repulsed attacks around Avdiivka and Marinka. I have no expectations of any major movements in this area.
The AFU recently hit Orc locations around Velyki Kopani, Kostohryzove, Hola Prystan' and Tokmak

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.
