Hi and thanks for posting the update.

The 25th Airborne Brigade is interesting. Its 3rd Battalion is in Novoselivske, in the Svatove sector, supporting the 92nd Brigade. Its artillery was spotted in June in the Velyka Novosilka sector in the South. I wonder at this point if they have taken their artillery battalion and moved it to the South, while the maneuver units are concentrated between Chervonopopivka and Torske in the Kreminna sector, and one battalion in Novoselivske. Let’s recall Ukrainians complaining about lacking artillery firepower between Kupyansk and Kreminna in comparison to the Russians - the latters would have been saving shells for months before the push which started in late June. According to Rybar, the 115th Mechanized Brigade (one of those Ukrainian brigades formed at the beginning of the conflict that disappeared from any radar in the last few months) has been brought in the direction of Kupyansk, but there is no confirmation.

I have heard about the Russian advances in Bilohorivka - they are positional battles, since April the Ukrainians have lost control of the high ground northeast and east of the village and now the Russians are pushing harder towards the settlement. The situation is more difficult since the Russians have recovered that part of the forest north of the Seversky Donets River. Nothing too concerning for the moment, but even in the very pessimistic case the Ukrainians had to give up the village I’m pretty sure it wouldn’t jeopardize the Siversk salient.

About the Russian reserves in Bakhmut, as far as I know they are bringing more and more elements of the 150th Motorized Division from the Marinka sector to the southern area of Bakhmut. Both the 68th Tank Regiment and the 102nd Motorized Regiment from that division are now in that area supporting the 72nd and 57th Brigades. They also moved the 80th Tank Regiment from Kreminna - the only Central MD unit outside the Svatove-Kreminna line. They also brought a BARS detachment from Kreminna. The 83rd and 11th VDV Brigades have been in that area for some time now, ditto the 31st VDV Brigade a bit further north, which according to what I had read a few days ago could have been moved to the rear now. Also there are the 4th Brigade and two separate battalions from the 2nd Corps and the 1307th Regiment from the Territorial Defense (Russian TD = mobilized regiments). All of this in the city’s southern sector. They also brought reinforcements to the northern sector, which is why (also because Ukrainian units in the southern area are generally better) there was no more progress in the Dubovo-Vasylivka salient and in Berkhivka. One month ago the Russians brought the 217th VDV Regiment from Kreminna and the 105th Regiment of the 1st Corps to assist the 200th Brigade… And the 106th VDV Division is holding off the limited Ukrainian attacks from Soledar direction.

Particularly in and around Klishchiivka there are extremely violent battles going on. Ukraine continues to fight without deploying reserves. Among the new brigades just the 22nd Mech was noticed (only artillery actions from it have been recorded at the moment) as well as elements of the Lyut Brigade of the Offensive Guard. The 3rd and 5th Assault Brigades have been the spearhead of the attacks; there is also the excellent 80th Air Assault Brigade in the area, which had been moved during February/March as a strategic reserve in case the Bakhmut flanks collapsed and has seen little to no direct action since then, is very fresh and is starting in the last few days to become the protagonist of the attacks around Klishchiivka as far as I see… There are also the 17th Tank Brigade which is supposed to be the operational reserve and the armored support in the southern area of Bakhmut and the 28th Mech in Kurdiumivka.

As for Urozhaine, I think they are referring to DPICMs… I read that the Russians attempted counterattacks east of the village and were repulsed. About Robotyne I have no updates since there was the unfortunately failed attack that cost the 118th Mech the loss of a company tactical group last week. And I wasn’t aware of the 46th Brigade being active around Velyka Novosilka, I had them in the rear in the eastern part of the Orikhiv sector. Looking forward seeing them in action! The Russians have been pouring some new reserves into the area in the last week.
