- West of Svatove, Russians claim to have made a salient past the Sherebets river, advancing 5-6km
- Conflicting reports on whether Nadiya is under Russian or Ukrainian control
- Ukrainian general staff denies any losses in the eastern direction towards Kupyansk, contrary to online reports from both sides
- ISW says Russian claims of advances near Serhivka may be exaggerated

- Ukrainians are attacking Russian forces in a forest area near Kreminna with artillery
- Russian sources claim methodical advances in the area but Ukrainian reinforcements are being sent to Torske to stabilize the front
Bakhmut Sector
- Fierce fighting continues around Klishchiivka, Kurdyumivka and Andriivka on the southern flank of Bakhmut
- Conflicting reports on whether Klishchiivka and Andriivka are fully liberated by Ukraine
- If Andriivka falls, it threatens a key Russian supply route into Bakhmut from the south

Avdiivka-Donetsk City Area

- Russian forces launched limited ground attacks around Avdiivka and Donetsk city
Southern Donetsk - Velyka Novosilka to Vuhledar Sector
- Two Pentagon sources report the Ukrainian counteroffensive has entered a new phase with Western-equipped and trained brigades committed
- However, some Ukrainian sources dispute this, saying they are attacking with the same forces and this is not the main thrust yet

- If Staromaiorske falls, Urozhaine is likely to be liberated as Russians will be unable to supply it
- This could open the way to Staromykhailivka where the Russian main defense line stands. If this is breached, there are no significant defenses until Mariupol
- Ukrainian forces also made advances near Robotyne, with attacks consisting of tanks and armored vehicles
- Conflicting reports on the scale of Ukrainian attacks and advances near Robotyne, with some claims likely exaggerated according to ISW

Wrap Up
In summary, the key areas to watch are Staromaiorske and Robotyne in the south, where Ukraine seems to be making some breakthroughs, as well as Bakhmut where fierce battles continue. Russian sources report the loss of Staromaiorske could be the most significant development in weeks, though the main Russian defense lines are still far off. Meanwhile, Putin claims Ukrainian losses are 10 times higher than Russian losses in their offensive, without providing evidence.

🤖❓ AI Debrief (post task) - anything the AI didn't understand
Some of the place names and spellings were a bit unclear in the transcript so I did my best to spell them correctly. The description of the forest belts and trenches near Robotyne was also a little confusing to follow in terms of the geography, so I summarized it more generally.
