"Wonderful what liberation can do to places that used to be bustling teeming with life"
Hello Team!
Jonathan discusses claims from Wagner Group financier Yevgeny Prigozhin about an alleged plot by Putin and Nikolai Patrushev to undermine the Wagner Group. This could drive a wedge between Putin and Prigozhin. The redeployment of Russian peacekeeping forces from Nagorno-Karabakh to Ukraine is eroding Russia's influence with Armenia, as historical animosity between Armenia and Azerbaijan heats up again. Putin is trying to reassure the Russian public that the war will not have significant long-term economic consequences, likely to prepare them for a protracted war.

📍 FRONT-LINE UPDATE -🗺️ MAP LEGEND
Northeast Sector (Kupyansk to Svatove to Kreminna)
Not much new information from this front, just the usual activity around Dvorichna, Kuzmyne, Bilohorivka, and Verkhnokamyanske. A destroyed Ukrainian MTLB vehicle was reported west of Chervonopopivka. Syriac Maps shows Russians pushing up to the Donetsk Oblast border with some minor gains, while Ukraine is building defensive lines on the western shores of the Zherevets River.

Bakhmut
Fighting continues in southern Bakhmut near the MiG-17 monument and along road 0506 to Khromove. No changes reported north of Bakhmut, with Russians unsuccessfully trying to take Orikhovo-Vasylivka. Zaliznyanske northwest of Bakhmut was captured after weeks of fighting over two farms. The pace of Russian attacks has slowed, supporting ISW's assessment that the Wagner offensive may be nearing culmination. However, geolocated combat footage confirms marginal Russian advances near Kurdyumivka.

Avdiivka
Russian sources claim they have completely captured Krasnohorivka north of Avdiivka, worsening the situation for Ukrainian troops there. Attacks were repelled around Avdiivka, Kamianka, Severne, and Nevelske. The capture of Stepove would interdict Ukrainian supply routes into Avdiivka. Defmon believes Ukrainian reports of repelling attacks towards Stepove confirm that Krasnohorivka is likely under Russian control.

A Russian source claimed forces in Marinka are anticipating and in constant readiness for a potential Ukrainian counteroffensive.

Vuhledar
Limited Russian ground attacks continue near Vuhledar. The Russian MoD claimed a drone strike destroyed a redeploying Ukrainian platoon west of Vuhledar. ISW notes the degraded state of Russian naval infantry and Eastern Military District elements makes it unlikely they can resume successful offensives in the near future. Footage shows the heavily destroyed but still defended city.

Zaporizhzhia
An increase in combat operations is reported along the entire Zaporizhzhia front line. Ukrainian forces conducted attacks near Polohy, Novodonetske south of Orikhiv, and Vasilivka, which may be early signs of preparing for a counteroffensive to cut the Russian land bridge to Crimea. Russian sources claim the attacks were repelled with Ukrainian losses. One blogger characterized the assaults as reconnaissance in force operations.
