📍 FRONT-LINE UPDATE -🗺️ MAP LEGEND
Northeast frontline (Kupyansk to Kreminna)
- Not much to report along this axis, just some repelled Russian probing attacks
- The ISW reports unsuccessful Russian operations in several settlements in this region
Bakhmut area
- Russian forces have made some gains northwest of Bakhmut, possibly to preempt Ukrainian counterattacks
- Russians claim to control Dubovo-Vasilyevka but this may still be contested
- 30% of Russian assaults in Ukraine on March 8 were near Orikhovo-Vasilivka
- Russians trying to interdict remaining Ukrainian supply lines into Bakhmut
- Ukrainians conducted counterattacks southwest of Bakhmut to push Russians back
- Situation remains fluid with competing claims; no clear picture on Ukrainian intentions (withdrawal vs reinforcing vs counterattack)
Avdiivka area
- Russians increasing tempo of attacks north and south of Avdiivka, similar to tactics used at Marinka
- Likely aim is to pressure Ukrainians to withdraw by attacking flanks rather than frontally
- However, Russians currently lack forces to take Avdiivka this way without significant reinforcements
Southern frontline
- Ukrainians repelled attacks near Marinka, Vuhledar
- Some Russian territorial claims near Vuhledar but no major changes
- Reports of a Ukrainian strike causing a fire near Enerhodar/Zaporizhzhia NPP, details unclear
- Ongoing skirmishes between Russians and Ukrainians on islands in the Dnipro River delta near Kherson
