Shelling locations reported by UA general staff today.
Overview images
Svatove
The AFU repulsed an attack in the area of Novoselivs'ke. Russians seems to be attacking without success, wasting personnel and equipment. They don't really have great offensive potential but they do have a lot of mobiks, which proved to be bad for assaults.

Kreminna-Svatove
The AFU repulsed attacks in the area of Kreminna, Dibrova and Bilohorivka. RuAF are attacking with 76th GAAD and BARS units in the Kreminna area, they are largely filled with volunteers and mobiks at this point.

A RU counter attack in the Kreminna area is expected, it's unclear if it already started or if we are just seeing shaping operations with the intention to weaken the AFU.
Bakhmut
Zaliznyans'ke, Krasna Hora, Paraskoviivka, Bakhmut and Ivanivske.
Zaliznyans'ke, Krasna Hora, Paraskoviivka, Bakhmut and Ivanivske.
RuAF managed to advance south along a tree line from Sіlj half way to Zaliznyans'ke. I believe they are still there, but I'm less convinced they are still alive. The magenta line is when I think the AFU is going to call an evacuation assuming RuAF have no progress s. of Bakhmut
On the south side I think UA losing Ivanivske will be the trigger for an evacuation.
A good chunk of older tanks have been committed to Ukraine by Germany, Netherlands and Denmark. At least 100 of these will be the 1A5 variant which I believe have thermal imaging.
The Leopard 1A5 is not a great tank by modern standards, but that does not matter much, we do not see a lot of tank vs tank battles. Tanks are used a lot of time to attack trenches, dismantle houses and in an indirect fire mode.
These tanks will be very useful for Ukraine. I would rather go to combat in a tank than a Ford focus.
It's not clear if the 178 tanks mentioned includes the tanks from the Netherlands and Denmark, but ill assume so for now.
