The forecast changed slightly, 7 days in a row with double digit negative degrees. It's about to get hard.

The AFU repulsed an attack around Stel'makhivka. Not much more to say about this direction than what's been said the last few days. Positional battels, going back and forth.

Kreminna-Siversk
The AFU repulsed an attack in the area of Bilohorivka. I geolocated a RU attack on AFU forces to 2.5km NW of Dibrova today, the video seems recent. I think this is further indication the AFU does not hold Dibrova.

Bakhmut
The AFU repulsed attacks around Soledar, Krasna Hora, Bakhmut and Mayorsk.
Most likely continued incremental gains by RuAF, I have inched the red line forward based on new geolocations, but no major change.

RuAF are doing what could be described as banging their heads against a concrete wall here, they do chip a way slowly at the wall but the damaged done to the head is irreversible.

Zaporizhzhia area.
The AFU this RU positions in Tokmak, Melitopol, Berdyansk, Pology and Vasylivka. Why hit frontline positions with 5-10 soldiers when you can hit 2-300 at a time further back? The losses of officers, supplies and equipment slowly adds up.

Not even the Kadyrovites are far enough back to be safe.

Interesting thread about the state of RU equipment
-----------
@RALee85:
A Russian Channel complained about the poor state of equipment and tanks in a Russian tank battalion (2nd Motorized Rifle Division). He says the tank’s engine doesn’t start, the gun can’t be loaded, and the operation of its systems can’t be checked.
