Bakhmut Front: Klishchiivka Developments

🎦 02:47-06:47

Jonathan highlights unconfirmed but potentially significant claims by Syriac Maps, suggesting that Russian forces may have captured the entirety of the Ukrainian trench network west of Klishchiivka. He emphasises the strategic importance of this elevated area, which provides a vantage point for the Ukrainians to control Klishchiivka and beyond. The capture of this network, if true, would be a blow to Ukrainian defenses. Jonathan acknowledges the uncertainty and awaits further confirmation from other sources. He speculates on potential Ukrainian responses, including whether they would attempt a costly counter-attack to retake the lost ground or establish new defensive lines further west.

Jonathan details Russian advances around Avdiivka, citing corroborating reports from Syriac Maps and Deep State Map. He notes Russian gains along the railway line south of Novokalinove and the capture of a quarry near Vinohradne. Analysis of the terrain indicates an uphill battle for the advancing Russian troops. Jonathan reviews footage of Ukrainian counterattacks, including Bradleys firing on Russian positions and a Ukrainian tank engaging Russian troops in the ruins north of Avdiivka. He also highlights the extensive use of drones by Ukrainian forces to target Russian positions and impede their advance. Despite Russian efforts, Ukrainian forces remain active, and the situation in Avdiivka remains fluid.
