A very good analyst of war information.

Matches what I've read the past two days. Most significant movement is Ukraine crossing the Oskil in multiple places, especially seizing Kupiansk, and attacking the flanks of Lyman. Russians are rushing to press more troops into service, but poorly trained and motivated troops might hold positions, but if Ukrainians break through again in numbers, there will likely be another rout, albeit smaller in scale.

Russian lines in Luhansk are getting smaller, allowing better troop coverage and if they fall back to previous entrenched positions they will be difficult to dislodge. My guess is Ukrainians will keep probing for weakness and trying to advance where they find it. They may move forces to Kerson if the attacks in Luhansk stall. Much will depend on whether the Ukrainians can marshal sufficient armor for another breakthrough somewhere.
