Update time.
Kherson Front – Still the same. Lots of artillery duels that the Russians keep losing, including two more ammo dumps north of Kherson airport. Ukrainians keep edging closer to the city. Russians mined a 10 mile long stretch of road leading into the city. This is a sure sign that they aren't planning anymore advances in this location and are just trying to hold onto what ground they have.
...
Zaporizhzhia to Mariupol (Southern Front I) – Little movement. Occasional artillery duels, a lot of recon raids and probes from both sides. Russians appear to be digging in or attempting to dig in along most of this line. On the eastern end of the line Ukrainian reinforcements and deep raids into Russian held territory north of Mariupol forced the Russians to reduce the number of BTG's fighting inside the city and move them north of the city.
...
(Southern Front II) - I still don't see any hope of relieving the siege directly but anything that reduces the pressure on the defenders of Mariupol is helpful. Ukrainians reinforcing this line with units withdrawn from the Kherson bridgehead (including the Canadian contingent) and with Territorial Defense brigades.
Donbas line South (Eastern Front I) – DNR and 5th CAA attacks here seem to have died out, literally. Artillery duels and Russian airstrikes ongoing. Ukrainian reinforcements continue to arrive in the line faster and in better shape than the Russian reinforcements. Ukrainians retook one of the one mile square bulges but allowed the other to stay in place while they're relentlessly shelling it.
...
Donbas line Middle (Eastern Front II) – Russian attempts to bypass Severdonetsk both north and south met with disaster (again). 5th CAA may have lost as much as two BTG's in a single night/day action. As with the other fronts the Ukrainians are arriving faster and in better shape than the Russians are and unlike the Russians, the Ukrainians still have reserves left uncommitted.
...
Donbas Line North (Eastern Front III) – South side of the Bulge. Russian main armored force still stalemated both by Ukrainian active and mobile defense and by events further north. Remains of Russian 201st Motor Rifle division retreating northeast towards Russia as fast as they can after suffering as much as an estimated 75% losses in just 48hrs. Heavy fighting all along this front. Ukrainian 3rd Armored brigade reinforcing here.
...
The Bulge (Eastern Front IV) – See previous above for south side of the Bulge. North side of the Bulge Russian Airborne units collapsing under repeated attacks by the Ukrainian 92nd and 93rd Mech brigades, 4th and 17th Tank brigades, 46th Air Assault brigade, and 10th Mountain Brigade.
...
The Bulge (Eastern Front V) - Ukrainians seem to be able to penetrate Russian lines here at will (I told you so), raiding deep into the Russian rear areas, cutting Russian supply routes to the south and destroying depots before returning to their start lines. These attacks have seriously slowed Russian attempts to attack southwards out of the Bulge and are drawing new Russian reinforcements away from the Bulge and the Severodonetsk pocket.
...
At least one BTG from the shattered 41st CAA has re-entered the battle. Like the single BTG from 35th BTG it's being used in an attempt to guard supply routes and depots for the Bulge area. Neither of these BTG's are capable of doing that job. Both are scratch units made up of survivors from multiple other BTG's lost in the failed push for and retreat from Kyiv.
...
The vast bulk of the Russian units arriving in Belgorod Russia from the north are artillery units, most of which escaped the Kyiv Front relatively unscathed. This is why the increase in Russian artillery attacks all along the line. The Russians aren't going to run out of artillery ammo anytime in the next decade so counter battery and deep raids are going to be the only ways to silence those guns.
