Yesterday was a fairly slow day of consolidations so we took a break. But now it's time to summarize the new developments, which begin with the latest battlefield updates.
Ukraine has ran into a brickwall on the western Zaporozhye front near Orekhov where the Russian 42nd division of the 58th army continues to strongly hold the line.
So instead they've reconcentrated their efforts on the eastern wing near Velyka Novosilka.
In that direction they are now experiencing relatively strong gains, or at least that's how it outwardly looks. But the truth is, the settlements/hamlets they've captured were already sort of in a gray zone that continues to switch hands daily. For instance Neskuchne which they appeared to have captured was already in their hands days ago and Russia took it back over.
The main thinking is that here, Russia commands all the heights and these small hamlets are in the very low zone, which gives Russia a very favorable advantage in creating a killbox to rain artillery down on the AFU who've hubristically advanced inside of it: -- Cont'd at https://simplicius76.substack.com/p/sitrep-61123-ukraine-reorients-and
