Ukrainian-Russian war. Day 696:
Situation south of Avdivka: Russian Army advanced in Sportyvna and Chernyshevskogo streets. The last positions taken by the Russian troops are located in a high area that allows to control by fire the Ukrainian positions in the southeastern forest belts. The consolidation of these positions by the Russian troops would put the Ukrainian Army deployed in the summer cottage and the Former air defense missile battalion in a semi-enclosed situation, which would force a withdrawal on the area colored in yellow allowing the Russian army to be in a suitable position for an assault on the Khimik district.

Ukrainian-Russian war. Day 698:
The situation in the south of Avdivka is contradictory, as Ukrainian troops have sent reinforcements and are launching counterattacks in the urban area captured by the Russians during the last two days, for the moment it seems that the Russian troops manage to hold the line. The same situation occurs in the east of the city where the Russian army has launched a new attack on the Ukrainian army trenches along the road south of Kam'yanka but for the moment the Ukrainian troops are still present in the surrounding dachas.

As for the news about the Russian army's capture of the border locality of Pletenivka, the truth is that the rumor spread as a result of an old news item that some channels have used to announce the beginning of a Russian offensive in the north of Kharkov aimed at creating a buffer zone to defend Belgorod. This possibility has been previously discussed. The likelihood of carrying out such an operation could only be contemplated when the Ukrainian army had suffered significant attrition that would prevent it from holding the front line. That phase has not yet arrived and the war of attrition will remain the main dynamic of this war.

Ukrainian-Russian war. Day 701:
Situation south of Bakhmut: Russian Army took control over news positions in the high area between Klishchiivka and Ivanivske. It has been mentioned in the last hours of an advance of Russian troops in the center of Bohdanivka. The truth is that the fighting continues in that area with hardly any changes for days. The forested area northwest of the town that was claimed under Russian control was never captured (and was never shown as such on the map). The Russians have not taken the heights further south and north of Bohdanivka, which would allow not only the capture of the locality but also of the southern Ivanivske, which would allow moving the battle to the canal area. The front has been stabilized by the arrival of Ukrainian reinforcements in recent days, similar to what has happened in Avdivka.
