Kherson bridgehead held by 8 BTG's of differing strength and fighting ability. No Russian offensive moves here. Lots of artillery duels, almost nightly until a couple of Russian ammo dumps were hit. Afterwards Russian artillery slacked off.
Southern Front (Kamianske to Marinka) – 10 Russian BTG's in line here, 1 more in reserve on the left flank. Elements of 150th Motor Rifle Division and 810th Naval Infantry Brigade seen moving north out of Mariupol to reinforce the right flank of this line.
Eastern Front (Marinka to Sievierodonetsk) – 6 BTG's known to be in this line. Two from 150th Motor Rifle Division at Marinka. 1 from 5th CAA at Verkhnotoretske, two more from 150th and 1 from LNR 2nd Corp at Popsana. This means, among other things, that elements of the Russian 150th Motor Rifle Division are spread out across almost 250km of front line and in the command areas of three different Combined Arms Armies.

This is also the region where all of the foreign volunteers and Wagner elements to the Russians are located.

Sievierodonetsk (tip of the Pocket) – 7 BTG's identified here. 5 from 5th CAA (fresh as of last week, now much worse for the wear), 1 from 90th Guards Tank Division, and 1 from 41st CAA (both rebuilt from survivors of the debacle NE of Kyiv).
...
North of the Pocket/southern tip of the Bulge – Some 20 BTG's located here, in and around Iziyum. Slowly forcing their way south against stubborn Ukrainian defenses. The Russians are still moving in long columns along roads out in the open and still taking massive losses for doing so. They are very clearly trying to close off the Sievierodonetsk Pocket before the Ukrainian forces further north cut the Russians off from Russia itself.

North of the Bulge – Two BTG's from 106th Airborne withdrawn from here after failing to stop Ukrainian raids on the north-south supply lines into the Bulge. Those were replaced by two BTG's rebuilt from the survivors of 35th CAA (Butchers of Bucha). 7 BTG's in reserve behind them, all rebuilt units from the Northern Front and of varying strength and capabilities. Ukrainians are hunting the 35th CAA units more than the 35th CAA units are attempting to defend the supply lines.
