MILITARY UPDATE

The northern front had a number of actions but little took place that changed anything.
The primary news in the east is that Russia has for some reason decided to activate offensive operations around Bakhmut, with artillery and suicide drones being used in large numbers though apparently to little effect.
This shows you how compartmentalised the Russian military can be. Your supply box gets filled with what you’re given and you get to use it. Even when your next door neighbours box in the middle of an offensive against Avdivka is suffering from a lack of artillery, ammunition and suicide drones. Nobody asks you to send them where they’re needed and yet the high command still expects that offensive to be pressed with all the vigorousness they have come to expect, resources expended or not.
North of Klieshievka and south of Andrivka Ukraine has continue to push past the railway line which to all intents and purposes is now under their control from Bakhmut south to Zelenopilia.
Little has changed at Avdivka. The Russians are on the cusp of entering the coking plant in the north east of it. Being in the vicinity however is not the same as being able to enter it. It’s believed to be heavily fortified and will take an age and heavy resources. Frankly I wouldn’t bother with it. I think they will try to take the land to west of it and get closer to the urban areas south west of the plant.
Little else happened yesterday. Ukraine made small gains west of Robotyne as they widen the salient.
Kherson continues to cause the Russians huge grief. Them Ukrainians seem to have retained their position at Krynky. Opsec is super high and nobody on the Ukrainian side is saying anything. However the Russians leak like a sieve and there confusion is what stands out. The Ukrainian forces seem to have them running around like headless chickens trying to expunge one position only to find they’ve gone and they’re somewhere else. Ukraine is said to be shipping as many as 60-70 men over in small boats at regular intervals creating a growing force.
It needs to be noted that yesterday Russian losses passed the estimated 300,000 mark. That means Ukraine’s is probably around a third of that. It’s a depressing figure for either of them. Not that Russian government cares at all. To them it’s just a statistic.

Slava Ukraine 🇺🇦!
