News for today #ukrdailyupdate

If you would like to view the map: map.ukrdailyupdate.com
In the Kupyansk area there is ongoing fighting in the forests. Ukraine performed heavier than usual artillery strikes in this area. I don't know of any territorial changes.
The Kreminna and Siversk areas are more or less status quo. Fighting in the forests near Kreminna, fighting near Bilohorivka south of Kreminna, and minor fighting in all of the front line towns around Siversk. No changes.
North of Bakhmut, Russia is attacking along the railways to Yahidne. There is heavy fighting in the area of the railway station in the north of Bakhmut. Some Russians claim to have captured Yahidne, but I see no evidence. Ukraine's main line of defense here is the trainstation.
There is also heavy fighting in the areas of the forested areas north of Berkhivka and Dubovo-Vasylivka.
In east and south Bakhmut, I see no significant changes.
West of Bakhmut, Russia is trying to attack Ivanivske and the Kostyantynivka highway without success.
Russia fired two missiles, perhaps Iskander-Ks, toward Kramatorsk.
They fired another missile to an old mine near Toretsk.
The Avdiivka area had no major changes today.
Russia dropped 500kg bombs on the Coke Plant in Avdiivka.
There was fighting near Oleksandropil, Novobakhmutivka, Krasnohorivka, and Vesele without changes.
Fighting near Vodyane and Nevelske without changes. The heaviest fighting is near Nevelske where Russia is intending to breakthrough, although they do not seem to have the numbers required. Russia may have had minor advances up a single treeline, perhaps 200 meters or so.
Around Marinka, the Russian offense has stalled, no changes.
Vuhledar, no known changes.
In addition to this, Russia fired incendiary rounds into Kherson (likely thermite), multiple missiles into Zaporizhzhia (likely Iskander-K). There was also a weird event in Belgorod where Russia fired several missiles, and none of them seemed to go far, perhaps malfunctions.
This event in Belgorod was tactfully described as "if you listen closely, you can hear our neighbor's farts exploding". One Russian claimed Ukraine was shooting all the missiles down with a secret Patriot battery, which was pretty funny.

The American people said “we don’t like inflation!” and had a choice between two presidents.

Option A said their goal was to attack the source of inflation so the economic conditions that lead to rapid rise in costs wont happen again.

Option B said their plan was to increase inflation by at least 50%.

And America voted for option B.
You have to understand the consequences of your actions here. You had one political movement that wanted to shift focus away from corporations and onto the people. You may not have liked everything about the current state of that movement, but the movement existed.
And while it existed, you could have used your votes to influence it, and push it into the direction you liked. Maybe you like x and y but not z. You could influence that.

But instead, you voted for oligarchy.

Sources like warspotting and lostwar withhold losses from their counts when they are not clearly identifiable. Ukraine has pivoted to using heavy bomber drones to destroy vehicles, and posts tremendous numbers of losses per day using this method.
Due to thermals and top down view these losses are only very rarely counted. And when they are counted, it can be many months later when alternate footage appears.
In short, there is not a drop in documented losses, but the methodology used by the loss aggregators is highly conservative and struggles to deal with the types of footage available at the moment. And as a result will lag behind reality.

Kurt Company says they have killed 51 and wounded 57 Russians this month. These guys are situated near Kurdyumivka, and are repelling Russian assaults across the Severskyi Donets canal. I have personally seen about 25 of those 51 killed on video, and I've geolocated around 15. Image

Ukrainian positions in this area are very well designed, which contribute substantially to their ability to defend. We've seen Ukrainian defenses in other areas, often superior positions, with vastly inferior design and construction fall within minutes or hours.
The main difference you see here is that their firing positions are *above ground* with *interlocking fields of fire* and *trench systems that allow defenders to rapidly displace*. Image

btw, a huge fraction of the damage we see done every day is not done by fpv drones, it is done by drone dropped bombs. In particular, the heavy bombers like vampire, kazhan, and nemesis. The r18 is getting increasingly popular. And we see more avengers but those are very rare.
avenger is a fixed wing bomber that carriers, i think, 5.5kg payload. most commonly the loadout is either 2-4 medium sized bombs or like 5-8 smaller bombs that it drops as a carpet bombing type thing. It is hard to aim because it is a level bomber. A dive bomber would be better
A dive bomber dropping 5kg bombs would be pretty awesome, to be honest.
