"If the Ukrainians are really here in Vobove and they really have breached the defence lines in a number of places, the question is always, well, okay, so you've got lots of russian troops around here uh around here but then what have you got back here in archer to varte where you've got the second defensive line there and if there's nothing if they don't have the troops then well you could see a really significant you know breakthrough that's far greater than just a breakthrough here and allow it allowing you to take verbove it could be a much larger breakthrough"

Front line update

  • Most of the changes to the front line in the last 24 hours are positive for the Ukrainians, with some Russian gains that were actually from some time ago
  • In the northeast sector, there is evidence the Ukrainians are further forward than some pro-Russian mappers are showing, indicating the Russian MoD may be over-egging their claims of gains
  • The Ukrainians are having success pushing the Russians back around Svatove and in the Serebryansky Forest
  • Around Bakhmut, the Ukrainians have made gains in the forest area north of the E40/M03 highway
  • The Ukrainians are pushing to encircle Andreevka and have broken through Russian lines in places around Robotyne, which could lead to a much larger breakthrough if the Russians don't have enough troops in their second defensive line
