Russian troops are becoming increasingly entrenched in the region. “An advance towards Progress was stopped by a successful counterattack by the 100th Brigade.”
The breakthrough highlighted problems in the Ukrainian army. “The leadership of the 115th Brigade is responsible for the collapse of the defense in the entire area,” writes the channel. This led to considerable losses. Following this military success, the enemy is now advancing further towards Novokalynove.

That Ukrainian Telegram channel mentioned Pandora's box. Thats what I wondered when posting #3247 - whether Pandora'S box has been opened or not. I predicted some shorter time ago that the risk of an operational breakthrough of Russia is bigger than ever. This event now is not that - but it could lead to it. Russia may have cut a small but decisive notch in the Ukrainian line of defense - where it can now apply its crowbar.

Nothing says assured Russian victory quite like them sending their infantry into active battlefields on Chinese golf carts. Confetti! After every town, village shot to rubble Russia face open fields, rivers, etc they must cross with Ukraine on better defence lines turkey shooting no decisive breakthrough only small salients where Russia gone face supply problems with so many drones in the air nobody can here do quick forward pushes. After Bahkmut Russia needed more than a year to prepare this offensive with their high losses in material daily this will stall. Russia has not the reserves, the workforce that you need to win this offensive they're losing weekly what they can bring to the fronts in a month. If you have more than 100k troops more than 500 tanks and so so many bombs and shells after more than 6 months only advance 200 square Km you are not breaking through you are crawling through Ukraine holds the lines and with new supplies will hold it this year draining Russia of its workforce, resources, material and personnel.
