Over the past few days Russia attacked along the line near Svatove. 
The complete list of areas attacked is unknown to me, but, at minimum, it involved Stemakhivka, Kuzemivka/Novoselivske, and Krokhmalne. All towns northwest of Svatove.
These attacks persisted through the 29th and 30th and into today, and have largely resulted in failure for Russian forces. There are instances of soldiers recruited from prisons (henceforth referred to as convicts) fleeing from combat in large numbers (entire companies).
There are even reports that convicts got into firefights with other convicts.
Russia managed to capture one position that I know of, but Ukraine counterattacked and recaptured it within a few hours.

I've been looking for public information about these attacks for the past 2 days, the Ukrainian general staff briefly mentioned it. Cryboi tried to downplay it in a throw away line about "no tactical significance", and Wargonzo mentioned it this morning.
Beyond these things, I have seen very little discussion of these attacks. I made a tweet about this 2 days ago when I was still gathering information that made people very angry so I deleted it.
