The southwestern and southern section of the salient continues to show Russian gains but much of the salient has gone quiet and the action in the southwest is less intense.
Several areas to the south have heavy fighting but it’s slowed. Post Vuhledar things have also slowed down.
The weather has remained warm and dry so there is no reason other than exhaustion, manpower issues and ammo shortages, that the Russians are complaining about, for things to have wound down.
Unquestionably the attacks in the ammo depots have been incredibly damaging - but the Russians will recover from it. However it might just have provided the breather for Ukraine to pull itself together after months of non-stop pressure and retreat. Slowing down the Russians after such a long run of forward movement is a big deal.
