There are reports starting to appear of impending general collapse of Ukrainian forces at points along the eastern front.
If they break at any particular point, the Russians will pour through and it will be over for the eastern portion of the Ukraine.
One prime indicator has been reports of the removal of the Zelensky family from Ukraine.
Agree...the family leaving was a clue.
Zelenskyy’s family are still in kyiv, so there isn’t a “removal of the Zelenskyy fmaily from Ukraine”

Russia has given up in the north around Kharkiv and retreated.
in the east it looks like they have slowly advanced.
Will this lead to encirclement? Perhaps - but as you see in the map below, they've been trying to do this since March 2022 and failed.
Is it a breakthrough? No. Is it a Russian victory? a minor one, yes.
Can they translate this to something more? Well, that depends.
