#Ukraine: Today's new updates from #UkraineWar: 1. At #Bakhmut UA East Command claims they have liberated 17.3 sq km N & S of the city. UA commanders say better weather & arrival of US IFV & weapons have made significant difference. #tweet100 THREAD

#Ukraine: 2. RU forces NW of #Bakhmut have been pushed away from 00506 supply road back towards the #Berkhivske reservoir. In yet another rant, #Prigozhin says UA now threaten the "surrounding of RU in Bakhmut".

#Ukraine: 3. UA commanders, contrary to what #Prigozhin said, say it was Wagner troops that fled, NOT RU regulars. RU MOD claimed that its troops were relocating to more "advantageous defensive positions". Reportedly a video of RU troops fleeing:

#Ukraine: 4. As well as advancing at #Bakhmut UA Command says they have not lost any positions there in a week, though fierce fighting continues in the centre of the city. (Maps above courtesy of @WarMonitor3, @Tendar & here: @ChuckPfarrer) #tweet100

#Ukraine: 5. No indication that this is the promised "counteroffensive", more a UA local development with better equipment & RU exhaustion. RU sources indicate that UA has taken more territory today & is dominating all the #Bakhmut high ground.

#Ukraine: 6. 2 explosions & fire broke out in #Luhansk city almost 100km from UA frontline. Machine Plant Building, Polypak factory (ammo hub) + oil depot all hit. UA said to have used decoy missiles to overwhelm RU's air defences.

#Ukraine: 7. Near #Kreminna, RU carried out several failed attacks in the #SerebryanskForest & nr #Bilohorivka. UA air force struck back at several critical RU positions. #tweet100 (Map: @ChuckPfarrer)

#Ukraine: 8. #UK Intel says RU will be relying on Kalibr cruise missiles to disrupt any UA counteroffensive. The problem is the war is so long these missiles are now scarce (and expensive) - where & how do they use them? #tweet100

#Ukraine: 9. In #Bakhmut in the last 2 days as well as losing many dead, significant numbers of RU troops surrendered. RU losses for yesterday, 750 dead, 8 APV, 5 tanks, 15 artillery systems, 9 drones, 2 MLRS, 12 other vehicles/tankers.
