Wrap Up
Jonathan summarizes that the situation looks worrying for Ukrainians around Bakhmut and Avdiivka. There was strangely good news for Ukraine in a couple other unspecified places. The southern front remains fairly positional. In Kherson, it's unclear if Ukrainians are doing well or if Russians have stabilized the front by throwing troops at it. He will provide further updates.
