🕯️ We think of the courageous Ukrainian defender who dominated the news today.

Let's continue with the front. In the upcoming days I will be switching to my new more detailed maps. So expect summaries but not always supported by a visual. By the end of the week I want all SitReps to be supported by individual maps 👍

I made a start by visualizing Bakhmut

The AFU has completely withdrawn from the eastern part of Bakhmut to the western part of the Bakhmutovka river. Today Wagner planted her flag on the T-34 monument in Zabakhmutka district, asserting control over this area.

To the north and the south of Bakhmut there is no news to report on. To the north, the 🇷🇺 progress seems halted by the natural river barrier. Also Prigozhin made a statement about incoming failure if necessary reinforcements and ammo are not provided.

In the south, we have seen massive Russian troop build-ups in the Zaporizhzia region in recent days. New troops and heavy equipment arrive in Melitopol every day and today a column was spotted in Mariupol, on its way to the front in Zaporizhzia.

It's been pretty quiet around Kreminna for the last week. Today I got an update. The fighting continues, but there are some positional changes north of Kreminna in favor of 🇺🇦. Rumors spread that Russian troops in Kreminna are being moved towards Bakhmut.

That's all for today. Tomorrow again a new SitRep as usual!
