Avdiivka: Ukrainian General Staff reports an unsuccesful Russian attack in the area of Berdychi. ISW reports Russian advance towards Stepove. So far, no visual evidence has been given for either Krasnohorivka/Stepove. Also fighting near Sjeverne is reported.
Bakhmut: In the southern area, fighting continues around the Mig-17 monument/Tchaikovsky St. A little further west of it, Russian forces have been driven back after a series of Ukrainian counter-attacks. The buffer around Ivanivske is (again) decent. North of Bakhmut no changes.
Prigozhin, head of Wagner PMC seems to be worried about the lack of Russian advance in the area and the upcoming Ukrainian offensive. Calling desperately for help, even leaking his own letter to Shoigu to the public in the hope of speeding up the process.
Russian troops continue to launch attacks west of Kreminna. In recent days a breakthrough was forced north of Dibrova, which was again repulsed by Ukrainian troops. Russian attacks have been limited in the past 24 hours. Ukrainian troops seem to have a strong defense there.
That's all for today. Tomorrow again a new SitRep as usual!
