2/ I'm not going to do an extensive review of the frontline as nothing has changed for the last couple of months and as in certain areas, there is still this "tango" moves but nothing significant is happening.

in areas like #Kreminna for example, the Russians have managed to keep some key positions to hold the perimeter of the city and in certain places to "configure" to the Oblast limits, but they are picking appart quite often there and even if there command ask them to lead offensives in

3/ the direction of #Nevske #Torske #Zarichne etc. it is more to answer to a chain of command that has no effing clue that this is simply killing their own man, and losing more materials.
so they hold the lines, in the middle of nowhere, just trying to pretend they are the master of some administrative limits.

what is even more pathetic though is that they were actually not even able to really size the real oblast limits.
imagine that #Makiivka never taken in 6 months!

complete failure

4/ Now if we look at the general situation in the interface of #Luhansk and #Donetsk and we observed what are the hot points, and the main trends, it's even worse as not only the russians failed to accomplished some "minimal requirements" like reaching #Seversk or #Sloviansk
but they are doing so ridiculousely tiny progress day after day in #Bakhmut that they don't realize it's a mega tomb.

I mean the volume & strength Ru have lost there for "this" was last seen maybe not in the last 50 years

6/ going more into details now in #Bakhmut
it's quite difficult with all the back & forth to really be sure of what is the actual situation.

we do have registered though through geoloc vids some Ru advances in the north part of the last quarter in direction of #khromove (purple limits)
(all red arrows are confirmed geolocs, but in between and due to delay we are not sure of actual positions)
but apparently from all sources i read, Ru are advancing again...

anyway that"s it UKR have managed

7/ to keep the city past a certain date and read my previous threads in the week, it is more than confirmed that this battle and the sacrifice of men in this place has not only allowed to prepare a SUPER Strong defense on the way to #Kramatorsk and the entire arc of defense, but globally helped the entire UKR army to prepare past winter, for it's big counter offensive.

and that was not a small task for such a small country facing such a giant opponent.
(David vs Goliath vibes here)

8/ now quick words regarding the situation in the area between #Niuyork and #Avdiivka
Around the temporarily-occupied city of Donetsk, Russian troops led unsuccessful offensive actions in the direction of Avdiivka, Pervomayske and Maryinka in general

they are not able to capitalize on past gains on the north East of Avdiivka & despite tremendous effort there, there are now in the same situation as they are around #bakhmut for example.
each day they are weaker and weaker and only manage to

9/ sustain their attacks because they are still in possession of enough "man power" (and it is true that they could go on like that for still some times as these men are just sending wih minimals materials)

on the south part of #Avdiivka it's another story, Ru have lost tremendous amount of heeavy materials and men in direction of #Opytne #Severne #Pervomaiske

same thing,i thought they would at least, reached (during winter) the north defensive arc made by the lacs so up to #Umanske .. no

10/ so that's about it for now, i'll be back later on to complete with some more infos and some numbers.

there is some really really tiny moves in #Mariinka or near #Vuhledar but frankly, as this does not represent any kind of danger and there is no tactical changes in the area, there is no need to debrief that right now...
Ru are just sending more men and materials to die.

not understanding that they are wasting there ressources in small batches of men/materials day after day...
