There are some developments in N_W sector of the front...both in Kreminna there are abnormal fires, and in Kupyanks there are some reportedly muscovite advances. But apart from Ms. Malyar statements and traces of fires, there is very little info what is happening in the north and east. Perhaps somebopdy here have better sources?
Btw. where is 1st Guard Tank Army?
I did find this:

QuoteThe Svatovsko-Kremensky front came to life. There are serious fights going on.
QuoteThe enemy has stepped up operations in the north of the North-Eastern Military District. The units of the 42nd, 63rd and 67th brigades of the Armed Forces of Ukraine tried to break into our defense line near Kremennaya. There were about 10 attacks, all repulsed. Our paratroopers and infantry greeted the guests with beauty. Regime formations have suffered casualties, been pushed back, and are now regrouping. Part of the personnel of the enemy units, in order not to take part in the meat grinder, surrendered.

So if Russia is pushing hard on the eastern portion of the front, does that mean their reserves are not as spent as we would hope?

The situation in the east is difficult now.
The enemy has raised its forces and is conducting an active offensive in the Lyman and Kupyan directions, trying to seize the initiative from us.
High activity of enemy shelling is recorded.
Hot battles continue.The enemy does not abandon his plans to reach the borders of Donetsk and Luhansk regions. Currently, this is the enemy's main offensive line. Therefore, he concentrated a significant number of his units in the east, in particular the airborne assault units.
Our troops act courageously in the face of the enemy's superiority in forces and means and do not allow the enemy to advance.

I somewhat disagree that this is about what works or does not work. According to my observations, RU depleted local resources, paused, and then began to bring in portions of main reserves, pushing helis and other weapon systems (i.e. TOS) forward. Naturally, in response to the RU move, UKR stopped in several places to analyze the altered situation, consolidate and redeploy forces. But they are also pushing in other directions (Pyatikhatka).
As a result, the pause is due to a major change in the RU disposition that UKR need to reassess and react. Unfortunately, the RU change is not what we are waiting for yet.
Exactly. From the start of the offensive, I am getting waaay less useful info from RU sources. They are all now like - Our glorious guys are holding against UKR human waves! UKR dead bodies are piling up but your guy report everything is fine!
Also, that's why we must be extra careful with Western media , pundits and OSINT guys now because they are getting info for the same sources which is mostly BS now.
There are two issues here. Girkin, unlike in the past, unequivocally supports RU MOD claims about losses. He also lies about the significance of Pyatikhatky (it is a road to Vasilevka that opens up a route to the flank and creates the Vasilevka-Kamianke pocket). He now writes as if he is the unofficial RU MOD spokesperson.
Have Western media and various pundits realized it yet? I doubt.
This update is not totally positive
.https://t.me/sashakots/40458But I think either Google Translate is not understanding it well enough, or the original text is not perfectly written so that I can't grasp the full meaning.
By the way, what does BC mean as in "BC is being delivered, but there is a lot of work."QuoteFrom the Orekhovsky direction from the participant
“Excalibur worked on our positions. Precise, bitch, thing. Furies in the sky have become insolent, three or four are on duty, they leave for the night and the artillery works.
The Germans stick, as before. Yesterday five BMPs were shoved into them. They say two more brigades are dragging them here. Today they pearled en masse again, unwound them again. We hold on as soon as possible. BC is being delivered, but there is a lot of work.
They gave a four-gun battery. Mobiles are fresh, it's hard to deal with them. You tell them to dig in, they perceive it as z…f. Although we break guns half a meter. And cellars, and blocked cracks - more than once saved. We have already moved three times in a week and a half. Well, there are positions prepared in advance and equipped. War teaches a lot."

️Video️How the enemy behaves in the Orekhovskoye direction️
The enemy is trying to gradually advance through the positions, trying to take Rabotino into a semicircle.
Despite the fact that the intensity of enemy artillery has decreased compared to when the offensive was underway, our fighters are well aware that this is temporary.
A fighter from the "Nemets" - "Shanghai" group, who was directly involved in repelling the offensive of the Armed Forces of Ukraine, told the project about the current situation in the Orekhov-Rabotino direction.

but today acting Defense Minister Troels Lund Poulsen says that Denmark will support donating fighter jets to Ukraine. He does so in his speech at the Folkemødet on Bornholm. But that will only happen with the support of the USA, which produces the F16 planes.
- I would like to say that I cannot imagine that we do not support. Ukraine needs planes. More than ever if they are to win their match. This also applies to Danish F-16 fighter jets, says Troels Lund Poulsen in his speech.

I find it interesting that we monitor the Russian bloggers, and then, in turn, monitor ours.

Another Russian telegram update:
https://t.me/Sladkov_plus/7968QuoteUKRAINE IS TRYING TO OPEN A "PONTON FRONT" ON THE DNIPER.
Today, the Armed Forces of Ukraine tried to cross to our side of the Dnieper. They decided to build a pontoon crossing, but they immediately fell under our artillery, and, as I understand it, they temporarily abandoned their plans.

Russian telegram channels report a small Ukrainian push on the western portion of the Zaporizhzhia front:
https://t.me/vrogov/10338
QuoteAbout an hour and a half ago, the Nazis switched to active offensive operations on the Vasilyevsky sector of the front.
About two dozen units of armored vehicles (tanks, armored personnel carriers, infantry fighting vehicles M113, armored combat vehicles) and attack aircraft from the 47th mechanized brigade of the Armed Forces of Ukraine in the amount of up to two companies were thrown into the attack.
They go on the offensive in the adjacent areas of Lobkovoe-Zherebyanka and Stepovoye-Pyatikhatki. Let me remind you that Lobkovoe was occupied by the enemy during the first wave of the offensive. It is located in a lowland and is actually a gray area, because is under full fire control of the RF Armed Forces.

Rybar thinks Orekhovo is about to get hot again:

Situation in the Orekhovsky sector
In the morning, Ukrainian formations carried out reconnaissance in battle near Orekhovo : they are operating in small groups with the support of armored vehicles and artillery in the sector from Rabotino to Novopokrovka .
️Tank battles started again an hour ago.
The offensive of the Armed Forces of Ukraine will develop in two directions: Orekhov - Danilovka and Orekhov - Tokmachka . According to radio interception, it is planned to use the surviving units of the 47th Ombre and 65th Ombre of the Armed Forces of Ukraine in two waves in the next attack (the total number is up to 20,000 people).
Let's be honest: we have little faith in 20k people at the Orekhovsky site. Most likely, this is a calculation for the entire front. On our part, the RF Armed Forces are ready for attacks and are looking forward to the battle, and now they are successfully resisting the offensive.

Shooting in Novaya Kakhovka is not a battle
The shooting was already an hour ago, since then it has been quiet for a long time.
There is no anxiety in the city. Automatic weapons were fired into the air - apparently - at drones. Also, on the opposite bank, the movement of the enemy seemed to be noticed. For warning, they also shot there. In fact, no battle or attempted landings were recorded.
Such shooting from positions on the coast occurs regularly, they saw movement from the other side in the thermal imager and open fire, this cannot be called a battle. -

Some pointers from Millie:
- combined 60 000 Ukrainians trained in the west so far
- 6 000 Ukrainians in training in the West at this moment
- The USA has trained a combined 60 000 Ukrainians in maneuver combined arms operations
- This includes 12 maneuver combined arms "Battalion tactical groups" including their entire staff
- at this moment three battalions are in training by the USA
I noticed they tried to avoid the topic of F-16s until specifically asked.

This remote deminer is the only thing I've found that looks beyond a prototype, which could be in some form of production beyond what is seen in the attached press images:

Following up on that, from this page:
https://asc.army.mil/web/portfolio-item/cs-css-m160-robotic-mine-flail/
The contractor is a Croatian company and looks like they already gave 8 of one of their systems to Ukraine:

I'm not sure that it's suitable for combat conditions. -
