This is no WW1 archive picture, but how Bakhmut currently looks like. True killing fields.

On Makeevka, reportedly already 278 dead.

Over to the general events. The United States is pressuring Italy to supply Ukraine with SAMP-T military air defense systems as soon as possible.

"Together with the president, we are conducting talks aimed at creating a coalition that would transfer such heavy equipment,"- said Prime Minister Mateusz Morawiecki to the question of the possible transfer of Polish Leopard 2 tanks to Ukraine.

Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orbán believes that the West has started a new "Cold War". According to him, Hungary should maintain relations with the East, avoid confrontation and pretend to be a regional leader. 😂

Greece is ready to wait with the delivery of German infantry fighting vehicles if Berlin plans to send them to Kyiv first - BILD. According to the head of the Ministry of Defense, Greece may abandon them in favor of the Armed Forces of Ukraine.

#Bakhmut

➡️Main area's of fighting is south of Bakhmut near Opytne (1) and S/SE of Pidhorodne (2) where Russian troops are now strengthened by an almost secured flank. Making attacks easier.
➡️We have seen AFU reinforcements arrive in Bakhmut

#Soledar

➡️Russian forces claimed they took over the Salt Mine, this is false. They did make progress.
➡️Main battles are fought in the center (1) and on the eastern outskirts where RU units push from Yakovlivka (2)
➡️This morning, the AFU repelled an attack on Krasna Hora (3)

#Kreminna

➡️General Staff reports they repulsed an attack on Dibrova (1) and Chervonopopivka (2)
➡️Last couple of days we see a lot of short video's coming from Kreminna forest. I am sure something is going on there, but these video's tell little info. Waiting for better info.

In Kupyansk-Svatove, Zaporizhzia and Kherson area's not much happened to report on besides artillery.

No map or positional changes.
