Update from Bakhmut Front: A series of geolocation of drone footages by DeepStateUA confirmed a MASSIVE breakthrough by Russian forces after the Russian forces overrun a major entrenchment west of Blahodatne.
The Russian forces advanced all the way to the Bakhmut-Slovyansk highway; and Ukrainian MoD tacitly confirmed the situation by reporting fighting near Orikhovo-Vasylivka and Dubovo Vasylivka, the 2 towns lines along the southern side of the highway.
This breakthrough threatens an encirclement of all the Ukrainian troops that are currently valiantly and successfully holding the Russian advance in Krasna Hora and Paraskoviivka. A major withdrawal from this region is now expected.
