Seen from space, the Russian đ·đș army is carrying out a massive airstrike preparation against the 2nd Ukrainian đșđŠ defensive line.
I located nearly 1 000 airstrike on a small area of the frontline between Pokrovsk and Kostiantynivka.

This is simply massive. In a small area of the front, I mapped around 950 recent airstrike scattered on fields and forests strips near ukrainian positions.
Thos airstrikes are very recent, they started around may 25, less than 20 days ago after russian troops made gains on the Pokrovsk-Kostiantynivka defensive line.
You can see here how ukrainian positions disapear after repeated airstrikes.
Russian đ·đș armed forces also reinforced their defensive positions
As it advanced, the Russian army dug new trenches and positions, in addition to using the wide range of abandoned Ukrainian đșđŠ defenses to its advantage.

North of the town of Vouhledar, a Ukrainian stronghold between 2022 and 2024, a new line of Russian trenches recently appeared on satellite images.
New trenches have been identified along the entire length of the line leading to Velika Novosilka.
These new trenches are positioned at this location due to the absence of major captured Ukrainian fortifications and due to the terrain, large open fields where a counterattack could hypothetically be possible.
