Svatove
The AFU repulsed an attack in the area of Stel'makhivka.
Mainly positional battels in this area. No significant change for the last weeks.

The AFU repulsed attacks in the area of Bilohorivka and Vyimka. Fighting is ongoing in the Kreminna-Dibrova direction. Satellite images indicates previous mentions of attacks in the area of Shypylivka was most likely RuAF trying to advance in to the grey area along the river.

A BMPT was destroyed just north of the river in the Bilohorivka area, around the area marked by magenta circle in previous tweet.

The intentions of RuAF in this area is to force a UA retreat from Sivers'k and improve positions for a future attack on Slovyansk.

Bakhmut
The AFU repulsed attacks in the area of Fedorivka, Bakhmut, Krasna Hora, Paraskoviivka, Ivanivske and Chasiv Yar.
Continued efforts by RuAF to advance towards the M03 and T-0504 roads north and south of Bakhmut. I believe the attacks around Zaliznyans'ke have been limited

RuAF have most likely not been able to establish positions in the Zaliznyans'ke area.

I do not believe RuAF have reached the T-0504 road in the Ivanivske area yet, it seems like fights are ongoing a few km south of the road and the town. I believe the mention of Chasiv Yar has to do with the fights being closer to the town limits which screeches pretty far south.

Image from 20230208 of Ivanivske. Shelling gives a clear indication of how far RuAF have advanced south of the town. I do not think they have moved very far the last week.

Avdiivka
The AFU repulsed attacks in the area of Novokalynove, Vodyane, Pervomaiske, Vesele, Krasnohorivka and Avdiivka. RuAF had minor progress in the Vodyane area recently, I believe they will try to progress north -> Orlivka to be able to affect the Avdiivka supply route.

The Bakhmut situation looks about the same as the Avdiivka situation, which makes me look a little bit more positive on the Bakhmut defense. RuAF have been trying to encircle Avdiivka
for years without success.

Vuhledar
The AFU repulsed attacks the area of Marinka, Prechystivka and Bohoyavlenka. I've asked around, and no one seems to have an explanation for the Bohoyavlenka mystery.

After the 72nd Brigade caused extreme losses to 40th and 155th Naval Infantry brigade, RuAF moved on to decimated their 3rd Army Corps, which now also have suffered huge losses in both manpower and equipment.

Vuhledar overview 20230209
I believe AFU holds the blue areas while RuAF are trying o advance along the red arrows. Without success I might add.
