35% of the town of Kurakhove is under Russian control now. https://t.co/VWBDws978N

That would mean over 50% of that city is under Russian now

As you see there are no towns/cities left in souther Donbas except Velyka

But as you see it's also in gg situation, the city is very low land so Russian planning to just cut the last supply line and they will be able to capture the the city without much fights.

Last week genius @Cobra_Cranberrymander was coping that Ukrainian are winning in Kurakhove, I calling him genius because it was clear since fall of ughledar that Ukraine will lose Kurakhove.

Russian goal then probably will be Povlohrad since with getting rid of souther Donbas fortifications lines Russian flanks will be defended and Russian will be able to just walk past Pokrovsk and by doing so cut its supply lines and move straight to Povlohrad.

Fighting in Dniper will be gigantic damage to Ukraine since that region has huge industry and a lot of resources

Quite interesting after fall of ughledar Russian were able to get relatively easily 1000 km

square in that region it's almost like Avdiivka and Krasnohorivka and soon Kurakhove
