“What’s happening” I don’t hear anyone cry - and the BBC for one appears to have stopped it’s live reporting for now - but I’ll tell you anyway :-)
In E Ukraine the stalemate largely persists with the last two major towns in Luhansk still holding out. Russians attempt to advance on them from south - Popasna - and north - Izium. There’s a lot of “come and go” with villages swapping sides.
Various Ukrainian counteroffensives continue west of Izium (Kharkiv region) and in western Donetsk region.
Ukraine military appears to have taken out a number of large ammunition warehouses around Donetsk city.
Kharkiv comes under sustained attack from missiles fired from across the border and its thought the Russians might try to push back as close to the city as possible to recommence artillery barrages even if taking the city itself is plainly beyond them.
To the south Ukrainian forces continue to advance slowly in Kherson and Zaporizhzhya regions. Partisans operate in occupied Kherson city and Melitopol in particular; assassinating local collaborating officials and Russians.
At sea Ukraine has begun deploying harpoon missiles against Russian military vessels, oil rigs, and Snake Island in the W Black Sea has been attacked causing serious damage and losses to the Russian base there.
