[ColonelCassad] 1. Mariupol.
According to local reports, the enemy's defenses on the left bank are in a state of disintegration into separate pockets of resistance. Also, there are fights very close to Azovstal.
2. Ugledar-Marinka.
In Maryinka, the troops reached the waste heap dominating the area in the morning and fought with the retreating opponents. To the south of Maryinka, heavy fighting continued for Novomikhailovka.
3. Avdievka-Dzerzhinsk.
Fighting continued in the Novobakhmutovka area. The enemy front, after the defeat in the battles for Verkhnetoretskoye, caved in, but was never broken through. In Avdievka - no change.
Translation note: For years Google Translator had spelled Avdievka as so. In my report writing days I spell it as such, but now Google Translator spells it as Avdeevka or Avdiivka. I am "correcting" it as Avdievka.
4. Lisichansk-Severodonetsk-Popasnaya.
Fighting continued in the south of Rubizhne and in Popasna itself.
5. Izyum-Barvenkovo-Slavyansk.
The Armed Forces of the Russian Federation, having crushed the Ukrainian barrier at Kamenka, are accumulating forces on the southern bank of the Donets for further actions either in the direction of Slavyansk or Barvenkovo.
There is some progress along the Izyum-Slavyansk highway. At Barvenkovo, the Armed Forces of Ukraine reported on the “capture of Gusarovka”, although no one had taken it before - the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation did not declare that they had taken Gusarovka, the battles were going north of it, east of Barvenkovo.
Slavyansk is where the separatist movement/fighting began, then led by Russian reserve FSB Col. Igor "Shooter" Girkin. Slavyansk is in the direct path of Artemosk, where if that is taken will trap several Ukrainian combat brigades. The last time Ukraine allowed so many units to fall into a pocket was in Debaltsevo, the disasterous battle in 2015.
6. Kharkov.
No significant changes. The parties exchanged artillery strikes, plus continued strikes on the Armed Forces of Ukraine in the Chuguev area.
7. Chernihiv-Sumy.
Chernihiv without significant changes. Sumy too. The Armed Forces of the Russian Federation took control of Slavutych, where today they hung the Russian flag and began to rotate personnel at the Chernobyl nuclear power plant. The enemy, in turn, continued to press Trostyanets, claiming either fighting in the city or control of the city north of Akhtyrka.
8. Kiev.
Near Kiev, the situation has not changed dramatically. The troops blocking Kyiv from the west are trying to move south, the enemy counterattacks and blocks the advance in every possible way. To the east of Kyiv, fighting continued in various villages to the northeast and east of the city. Of course, there is no encirclement of Russian troops near Kiev.
9.Nikolaev-Odessa.
The situation has not changed fundamentally. The “offensive of the Armed Forces of Ukraine on Kherson” turned out to be the expected reincarnation of “Kim’s counteroffensive”. Positional battles continued on the border of the Kherson and Nikolaev regions.
10. Zaporozhye.
If the situation for the Armed Forces of Ukraine was stable on the Kamenskoye-Orekhov-Gulyaipole line, then to the east of Gulyaipole the situation developed more interestingly. The Armed Forces of Ukraine stated that they had recaptured Poltavka and Malinovka from the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation, the capture of which the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation did not report.
Moreover, Poltavka is generally located to the northeast of Gulyaipole, that is, the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation are hinting that the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation are trying to cover the group of the Armed Forces of Ukraine defending Gulyaipole. The Armed Forces of Ukraine also confirm that the RF Armed Forces control a number of villages east of Gulyaipol. The RF Armed Forces did not comment on this.
