There's starting to be a slight uncomfortable feeling in the Russian telegram channels. The last few days there have been reports about a "river" crossing close to Velyka Novosilka. There are also some local counter attacks with success in the Bakhmut area. pic.twitter.com/7hduXCl2wv

It seems units of the RU 3rd Army Corps have been holding the line in the area SW of Bakhmut. These are rapidly trained personnel which were recruited last summer. Their losses are now being replaced by mobik regiments. I think it's likely Azov will eat them for breakfast. pic.twitter.com/cZwBiEqZVc

I think it's likely we are seeing UA shaping operations to force a reaction from the Russians. I find it unlikely Bakhmut direction will be the main effort of a UA offensive.
