#Map #Klishchiivka pushback
First reported somewhat significant ๐บ๐ฆ gain in a couple of months happens at the area where ๐ท๐บ was struggling since capture of Kurdumivka.
The area is estimated from 2 to 8 kmยฒ and makes no difference.
What matters is momentum and positions.

Bakhmut is more than just a city - it's a lowland area east of the Donbas canal and offense can't stop on any point until canal is reached.
So ๐ท๐บ should hold positions along the canal whatever the cost or start trading South and regroup.

1. ๐บ๐ฆ recaptured area West of the canal - the main ๐ท๐บ bridgehead, it also provides an access to the road, who controls it has a agility advantage over the enemy.
Control of the area cuts of the woods at the North, no more attacks over the canal.

2. Narrow high ground. Not used for the supply but is crucial for the defense of the ๐ท๐บ supply routes through Klishchiivka.
It's important for ๐บ๐ฆ to keep ๐ท๐บ away, not even entering there.

3. Canal gaps near Ozarianivka and Kurdumivka.
In order to move further ๐บ๐ฆ should control those gates.
It could be difficult to maintain a bridge crossing but it's impossible to destroy the natural crossing.
There were recent ๐บ๐ฆ activities near Ozarianivka.

4. T0513 - one of the important Horlivka - Bakhmut connections. With no secured connection over T1302 as well, ๐ท๐บ would be limited in supplies.
In order to reach the road ๐บ๐ฆ should pass the settlements that were heavily damaged in last months, so itโs hard to predict the outcome.

5. With the control of the South claw, Bakhmut can be isolated and bypassed.
The old "plans" gives some understanding what targets can be chased.

Summary.
The change is important but it makes no big difference so far. Only next steps will uncover the further development direction.
At least activity on the flanks can make the city attackers more nervous and force some tough decisions.

P.S. need to clarify "insignificant gain"
For ๐บ๐ฆ it's not that important, but that shuts the door for ๐ท๐บ.
Itโs more ๐ท๐บ lose than ๐บ๐ฆ win.
