Bakhmut N
The AFU repulsed attacks around Spirne, Soledar, Krasna Hora and Bakhmut. There is heavy fighting around Soledar and RU telegram claims they have gained some ground in to Soledar. To be honest, I don't really believe them since they have a tendency to lie about progress

Normally the russians post an image/video to back up their claims within a few hours of it being made if it's true. Another reason to believe it's bullshit is because Putin declarer a cease fire, so obviously they could not have attacked.

According to multiple sources RuAF have committed up to 5 battalions of VDV in the solder area, they do have a history of getting some results. I will however wait for visual evidence or better sources before making a change.

Bakhmut south
The AFU repulsed attacks around Klishchiivka and Kurdyumivka. I have not seen any signs of any major movement in this direction in the last few days. It's possible RU are using most assets in the Soledar area.

Donkey lovers paradise
The AFU repulsed attacks around Pervomianske, Mayorsk and Pobjeda. It's possible we will see increased activity in this area soon, RuAF have sent support to the LDNR units in the area.

RT @Danspiun: 59. E Bakhmut/industrial zone.
RuAF are observed through a window in a building at the winery at 48.598076, 38.032285, which is then shelled. This is further west than previous observations I saw of RuAF at the winery by 150 meters. If current it may indicate a slight advance. https://twitter.com/Danspiun/status/1611438211858849792/video/1

Self-propelled howitzers. Looks like the US starts delivering M109s to Ukraine.

For the long run another important step. M109s is the only Western SPH available in quantities, that will least give a semblance of standardization for Ukraine.

- self-propelled Howitzers
-GMLRS
