Jerome, can you add the Polish Volunteer Corps to the International Legion section? On their channel you can see how they are training with the Russian volunteer corps.

івів

which channel?

Evan

In a telegram. Here is the link https://t.me/PolskiKorpusOchotniczy

dolgan

Small advance in the south?

Ukr report shellings on kechermik and novomaiorske. Both few km in russian control territory.

Its between vulhedar and velika

Triglav

Probably just another “in the direction of”, but if they really advanced that’d be good news

dolgan

Generaly, its happens when ukr have access to the rear units of russia .

Tristan

It could be a campaign aiming at destroying russian radars, so Ukrainian could employ their air force during the counteroffensive, but at the moment this is just speculation.

dolgan

Russian are exposed in the pincet around bakmut and advivka.

And with less russian offensive, ukr artillery Can concentrate on high value target.

Max Beckhaus

Part of the answer may be intensifying artillery duels. Both sides have comparable high numbers of artillery system losses lately. The hunt for artillery radars could be the special equipment. It feels like a new capability on Ukrainian side or at least a new use is happening. Doubling the old maximum is a lot!

Max Beckhaus

It could be the first sign of the brewing counteroffensive… Destroying Russian artillery suppression capability’s would make a lot of sense.
