FRONTLINE UPDATE

NORTHERN

There has been continued fighting in the Senrianski forest and north of the salient above it where Ukraine has managed to push back the Russians.

BAKHMUT

The Russians have pushed almost 1km down the railway line SE of Bohdaribka which seems intended to try and get them into higher ground. This is new territory for them and an unusual operational area so far.

AVDIVKA

Russian forces seem to be pressing their forces in the Stepove area and along the railway lines.
The Russians do seem to have held on to their link to Stepove village again.
Along the central area there are reports of small Russian advances. They did break back into the tree line for the third time but were expelled by Ukrainian forces using some novel tactics and supported by Bradley’s.
Overall there is a marked upturn in the forces Russia is allocating to the northern pincer, and they seem committed to more massed infantry attacks until they achieve something.

MARINKA

Heavy fighting north and south of the reservoir, but it’s largely considered that the Russians have the initiative at present.

KRYNKY

It seems that Ukraine is struggling to hold and maintain the Krynky bridgehead. Despite the level of losses the Russians have contained the site and Ukraine hasn’t expanded it. It’s starting to be a question of is it worth it?
Russian complaints about their forces and the lack of counter battery combat- Russia is hopelessly bad at it, and I mean bad, seem to be continuous.
Yet the Russians have numbers and that’s what Ukraine doesn’t have.
The weight of Ukraine artillery and drones balances out the quantity of Russians but it remains a stalemate.

On a wider note the US announced yesterday that it will have no more money to assist Ukraine at the end of the month and what little there is left is minuscule. The administration was begging congress to do something before it becomes critical.

There’s been some good news in that Ukraine is now successfully manufacturing its own self propelled guns - the Bohdana.
They have apparent managed to produce six per month for the first time.
Ukrainian defence industries are starting to get into gear now in several fields. It may seem like it takes a long time - but look back at any of the major wars and it’s taken at least eighteen months to two years to get things under way in any meaningful way. The Soviet Union took a full two years to restore its production post German invasion, and the Germans didn’t reach their maximum production levels until May-July 1944 when the war was already clearly lost. In WW1 Britain reached peak production only from late 1917 through 1918.
The point is it’s started to happen. It can only get better.

Slava Ukraini 🇺🇦!
