"It is just a huge amount of pressure around Bakhmut and obviously it's going to be some kind of attempt to do this or this or both whilst also pressuring, fixing. So, you know, fighting around here fixes the Ukrainian troops in while they also sort of try and overwhelm the defences and encircling at the same time."

🤖❓ AI Debrief (post task) - anything the AI didn't understand
The situation around Velyka Novosilka and Neskuchne was confusing with conflicting claims of Russian advances and Ukrainian counterattacks in the same area. The exact frontline there is hard to determine.
There were some contradictory reports about the situation around Kreminna, with some saying Ukraine was closing in and others saying Russia was counterattacking to the south. The real status is unclear.
