Ugh!!! Complete and utter bad news from the anonymous Military Analyst. 😫 If you can bear reading it. I hope he's completely misinformed this time. Dianna

FRONTLINE UPDATE

Kursk is difficult to describe as a great deal of OPSEC prevents decent information. The latest is that Ukraine has advanced from
Southern border into Glushkovo, but at the same time seem to have been pushed back further in the main salient from the west. At the same time Ukraine made slight gains to the north. Beyond that the whole scenario is slightly odd and in my opinion the Russian have made notable gains.  Whatever the Ukrainians are doing it’s not working out as well as they would like.  The Russians themselves are reporting that any of the area they are occupying they are looting - these are Russians looting Russians, it’s just so typical of these orcs.

Vovchansk: nothing new to report since the other day. Russians are on the defensive and we know they are bringing in convict Storm-Z troops.

Kupiansk-Kremina-Svatove: the Russians are very close to the Oskil River now and it seems only like a matter of time.
Further south at Neske and Makivka, the Russians have taken a lot of ground and entered areas the Ukrainian side is still resisting.
Overall the Russians are making very slow progress.

Klieshievka is now as good as lost but is stagnant.

Toretsk/NewYork
Bad news all around.
Russians making continuous gains, using ‘spike’ attacks along key road, tree or rail routes. Ukrainians under immense pressure - frankly it seems slightly desperate.

Pokrovsk - to the north things are stable but the westward advance towards the town is significant. Hodrivka has fallen, the speed of the Russian advance is still too high and too consistent and Ukraine is also loosing a lot of men. Things are bad.
The Russian salient is spreading quickly and there are areas where the Ukrainians are surrounded in three sides.

Maximilianivka - Russia continues to advance along the river through the towns on its banks have advanced substantially.
Pobeda to the south is also under constant threat.

Vuhledar - Russia has shown determination and has advanced substantially- the town is now almost encircled.
Once taken this will
Allow the Russians to begin a swathe of operations to come
North and begin a major pincer movement to slice out the whole south east corner of the front.

Overall: Russia continues to make substantial gains.
Both sides are suffering high casualties relative to their force size.
