Yesterday morning, another assault on the farm was repulsed in the area of Novomikhailivka village. Russians have been trying to assault this farm and a cemetery every day for months now to gain a foothold for the assault of the village itself. Below: drone follows a Russian vehicle trying to escape. Assaults and bombings are intense. On one day, Russians sent 64 FPV-drones at the village. Every day it is shelled with artillery, and bombed with 4-8 guided airbombs and KABs. Below: Ukrainian positions under intense shelling.

Russian mobik's family is starving at home due to lack of payments while he's on the frontline. He reveals this in a call intercepted and published by GUR. In the undated call, the man talks about his arguments with the leadership who are failing to process monthly salaries for the mobiks.

As a result, his wive has to live off the credit card, raking up a huge bill.

Russia opened a criminal case against Colonel of GRU Vladimir Kvachkov, a close Girkin's ally and a member of the "Angry Patriots Club", accusing him of discrediting the Russian Armed Forces. Image It is a notable case as Kvachkov is well-known in "patriotic" and "nationalist" circles in Russia, he is reasonably respected among rashists.

A somber celebration by Prigozhin of Bakhmut finally "falling".

He and the Russians know at what cost this and all recent advances came. Whether the ruins of the city stay with them for much longer is another question. Meanwhile, Ukrainian Pyotr Verzilov published footage of urban battles in Bakhmut, indicating that fighting didn't stop for a minute.

But I doubt Russians will be announcing the capture of Bakhmut a second time, so some conclusions can be made.
