"There is so much information going on. I know it doesn't sound like an awful lot has happened today, but just in Bakhmut itself, trying to work out what's happening in Bakhmut, it is pretty mental."

Hello Team!

  • Russian parliament member and former general Victor Sobolev says any private military company (PMC) in Russia is illegal, demanding anyone joining Wagner or other PMCs face 15 years in prison. Unlikely to succeed but shows issues between Prigozhin/Wagner and Russian military.

Bakhmut

  • Heavy fighting continues. Russians making gains in city center, Ukrainians pressuring north and south flanks.
  • Wagner forces have advanced to positions within the Ukrainian stronghold "citadel". Captured areas called "the nest", "domino", "constructor".
  • Ukrainians have pushed back in south, retaking some territory.
  • Unconfirmed reports of Ukrainian progress northeast of Bakhmut towards Yahidne and south towards Klishchiivka, possibly with aim to encircle the city.
  • Very attritional for both sides. City center becoming easier for Russians to shell as Ukrainians hold less ground.

Southern Frontline

  • Not much news from Avdiivka or rest of Donetsk front.
  • Some contradictory claims about gains/losses around Mali-Shevchenkove.
  • Ukraine continues to strike key areas like Tokmak, Melitopol to soften up Russian defences ahead of expected counteroffensive.
  • 152,000 Russian troops reported in southern Ukraine. Russia has deployed missile ship to Sea of Azov to help defend Kerch Strait bridge, seen as likely key Ukrainian target.
