Ukrainian forces have made progress on both the northern and southern flanks of the town
As part of its broader counteroffensive, Ukraine has gained impetus in its assaults around Bakhmut in Donetsk region, the the UK Defense Intelligence reports.
In a multi-brigade operation, Ukrainian forces have made progress on both the northern and southern flanks of the town.
There has been little evidence that russia maintains any significant ground forces operational level reserves which could be used to reinforce against the multiple threats it is now facing in widely separated sectors, from Bakhmut to the eastern bank of the Dnipro River, over 200 km away.
More good news for Ukraine. It also appears that Ukraine started a bridgehead on the left bank of the Dnipro near the Antonovsky bridge, which is even better news, if it’s true.
Denys Davydov was saying, that information was recently released confirming that Sir Foccuss he had a bit of footage on youtube, and perhaps more detail on his telegram channel.
What a dreadful pic of Bakhmut.
100 putinaZi cities deserve exactly the same treatment.
Furthermore, assuming the allies provide Ukraine with everything they need to drive out the savages, it would seem to be essential that they occupy at least one city; eg Belgorad, in order to get those poor defenseless children back.
Very good.
The village of Rvinopoil in the south has been captured also. it has nearly surrounded by the UAF.
This reinforces several lessons so far:
1) Past their line of defense the russian defenses are not particually effective againest Ukraine assault tactics.
2) The Russian comited the 128th Airborne to stopping the Ukraine advance in this sectore but were not able to prevent the near encirclement of the village. this may mean their are as thin on the ground as we have been led to believe. this will be significant since the UAF are openiong up a new front with the crossing of the Diniper.
3) Russians have no stomache for though of being cut off.
Since Rivnpol is on the western flank of the UAF advance in this area this will mean the UAF can out flank the Russian defenses in Staromaiorsik. given their lack of forces to prevent the encirclement I doubt they will try to hold that town.
