They maintain displaying up in social media feeds with the implication that these are contemporary losses. Some could also be. Most usually are not. The much more essential information is that there are photographs displaying that in lots of instances these automobiles did precisely what they had been designed to do—defend the troopers inside, a few of whom had been in a position to withdraw from the realm with out apparent hurt. Nonetheless, these three Leopard 2R mine clearing tanks are a giant loss.
However make no mistake: This the worst space for Ukraine alongside the entrance traces to date, and a sobering demonstration of simply how onerous it’s to be on the offensive towards a ready opponent.
This has not been a one-sided battle. Russian automobiles, transports, and artillery have been misplaced in the identical space. It additionally appears that Ukraine has introduced some HIMARS shut sufficient to the battle that Russian forces have reported strikes over 20 km behind the combating in Tokmak. Whereas there’s been no reported advance on this space during the last day, that doesn’t imply it’s been a catastrophe.
Finally report, combating was ongoing on this space with Ukraine persevering with to press the assault. Russian sources appear to be speaking a few “battle for Nesterianka,” alongside a roadway halfway between the 2 different battles on this entrance, however to date I’ve seen nothing to substantiate any motion there though a Ukrainian power was reportedly situated alongside this street.
Hulyaipole—Velyka Novosilka Space
The most important space of progress has undoubtedly been within the space to the east, south of the city of Velyka Novosilvka. In truth, issues have been transferring so shortly on this space, that there’s an excellent likelihood among the areas nonetheless within the disputed areas had been liberated earlier than the publish went up.
Within the final day, there are experiences of Ukrainian forces transferring southwest out of Hulyaipole to the city of Marfopil. As of 8PM ET, there are unconfirmed experiences that this city has been liberated by Ukrainian forces, however has not but been backed up by photographs or different proof.
Ukraine has reportedly liberated the village of Levadne in addition to the city of Novodarivka. For the final a number of days, Rivnopil appeared to face alone between two areas of Ukrainian progress, however on Sunday there are experiences of Ukrainian forces urgent into that location from the north.
The most important advance is alongside the street straight south of Velyka Novosilka. There may be photographic proof for the liberation of each Neskuchne and Blahodatne. In the previous couple of hours, a Ukrainian deputy minister has introduced the liberation of Storozheve and Makarivka. Ukrainian forces at the moment are reportedly about 8 km south of the entrance traces every week in the past, combating round Urozhaine and Staromaiorske. There are very unconfirmed experiences that Staromaiorske has already been liberated (as in I’m not seeing it from any of the same old suspects on Telegram and I don’t know the accounts making this declare on Twitter).
On the east fringe of this advance, Ukraine has liberated Novodonetske after a day the place management of this location could have gone forwards and backwards. Quite a few Russian automobiles had been reported destroyed alongside the street working all the way down to Oktyabrske, and there are experiences that Russia has deserted Oktyabrske to maneuver to the defensive traces to the south. Once more, think about that very unconfirmed.
Northern and Japanese Ukraine entrance
In the meanwhile, maps for this space haven’t been up to date. Nonetheless, there are a number of areas the place Ukraine has made reported advances. It’s not clear if these advances has been supported by newly skilled brigades, or if they’re the results of motion by troops who had been already on the area.
Kupyansk: On Saturday evening, Russian forces within the space reported that they may hear and see Ukrainian forces transferring into the realm. On Sunday many of the combating seems to have been within the nature of artillery duels, with some Russian tools reported destroyed.
Svatove: Unconfirmed experiences that Ukrainian troops pushed Russian forces out of the village of Kryvoshyivka. This could be an essential place alongside the P07 freeway northwest of Svatove and alongside Russia’s essential line of protection. Hopefully there shall be extra information from this space.
Kreminna: Ukrainian forces have reportedly made a small advance on this space, pushing Russian forces out of parts of the forest south of town which they’d occupied over the winter. Ukraine additionally reportedly staged an assault within the space of Chervonopopivka, alongside the freeway north of Kreminna, which might characterize Russia dropping territory within the space if correct.
Bakhmut: Ukrainian forces reportedly elevated their management within the space across the Berkhivka reservoir northwest of town.

Avdiivka: The Ukrainian army reported advances on this space, nevertheless it’s not clear the place they had been relative to town or how intensive. Preventing right here is reported to be very heavy.
With each passing night the depth of Ukraine’s counteroffensive alongside the southern entrance has elevated. At this level it’s clear that Ukraine shouldn’t be concentrating on breaking by Russian defenses in a single level, however is conducting quite a few separate, however coordinated assaults.
Over the course of Sunday, Ukraine has apparently liberated quite a few cities and villages which were on the entrance line in Zaporizhzhia oblast for months. They’ve additionally pushed Russian forces out of among the superior “screening” traces that had been nearer to the entrance and basically demonstrated success at quite a few factors.
The diploma of success has assorted from a location simply south of Orikhiv, close to the village of Robotyne, the place dislodging Russian forces has proved tough, to nearer to Velyka Novosilka the place a complete string of villages has been liberated and experiences present Ukrainian forces nonetheless advancing.
That is undoubtedly the level of the counteroffensive the place each day extra cities and villages should be added to the map as Ukrainian forces attain them, the placement turns into disputed, after which the settlement is liberated and the battle strikes on. It’s an pleasure that hasn’t been felt since issues quieted down on the northern part of the road final fall. There are going to be plenty of images like this one within the close to future, and their return is extraordinarily uplifting.
That is additionally the time during which there are quite a bit—quite a bit—of false claims of advances, cities liberated, cities misplaced, and tools destroyed on both aspect. Since Ukraine’s operational safety tends to damp down dialog from their forces on the bottom, every little thing we’re getting regarding confirmed Ukrainian advances is normally a minimum of a day behind the motion. However, each Russian experiences of troopers working away in screaming panic, and Russian false claims about having destroyed the whole Ukrainian army, come by unfiltered and at excessive pace. Maintain that in thoughts.

When the map is zoomed method out to point out the connection of the present areas of battle with the strategic objectives at Melitopol and Mariupol, the progress to date can appear fairly small. In a method it’s. These major Russian defensive traces which were constructed during the last a number of months are nonetheless forward of the combating in each location. Russia had its troops stationed out about 10-15 km forward of these defensive traces most often, typically with some smaller native trenches and pillboxes to help the place. Ukraine has not but moved Russian forces again to the primary defensive traces, although there are locations the place they’re getting shut.
Nonetheless, transferring Russia out of those advance positions is a mandatory first step. Over the combating of the final week, one factor is obvious: Ukraine could make advances. Additionally Ukraine nonetheless has nearly all of its power, maybe greater than three-fourths, in reserve.
Nicely behind the traces, Russia is reporting a number of explosions in each Tokmak and Melitopol. Ukraine has repeatedly hit excessive worth targets—logistical facilities, provide deports, and headquarters buildings—over the previous couple of nights. They’re utilizing longer vary weapons to make issues tougher for Russian forces on the entrance.
Earlier within the day, it was reported that precision weaponry (unclear what form) was used to strike a rail bridge southwest of Melitopol. Till repaired, this may restrict the flexibility to maneuver forces or provides out and in of Crimea by rail, however on no account “cuts the realm off” as some social media posts have maintained.
Vasylivka—Orikhiv Space
In the previous couple of hours, the western finish of Ukraine’s line of assaults has produced information of thrilling advances and sobering views of simply how onerous it may be to push forces out of ready positions.
