The first news from #Kherson is not overly good for #Ukraine. Although the Antonivskyi bridge was hit, the structure still stands and is still passable.
#Russia's state new agency TASS says there is "no damage" which is highly unlikely.
This is the moment of impact

#Odesa, #Kharkiv & #Mykolaiv among 🇺🇦 cities hit again overnight but not always with missiles designed for the job. The Kremlin orders more weapons out of "deep storage" and prepares for a #Ukraine counter attack in the south

First to those weapons on the move in #Russia.
It started with this video capturing what's believed to be
2S7 Pion heavy artillery being transported west.
They are Soviet machines, at the time state of the art high powered guns with a range of almost 50km,

Some excellent sleuthing on the internet found the source - a diminishing supply of stock.
Google Earth images show there were 170 of the Pions stored at this location in #Russia early April, down to 135 at the start of June; last week only 110 remaining.

Red and Black are #Ukrainian territories that were temporarily occupied by #Russian forces in the East of #Ukraine.
Analysts at "Jomini of the West" were confident that by the beginning of summer the front will run along the blue line in the picture.

From May to June, the front line changed a bit. Russian troops in the East of Ukraine are gradually advancing. But not as intensely as analysts imagined.
#Russia crossed the Jomini Line only near #Svitlodarsk but did not reach the Izyum-Barvinkove direction.

Jomini is confident that after reaching this blue line, positional battles will begin. It will be a long and hot summer.
Truly, I don't think that Russians will be able to reach that line 🤔

Here we have it folks (suggest reading the entire prev thread for context). As I speculated, the #Ukrainian forces, with or without permission, withdrew from the #Svitlodarsk front, with fortifications that had held for 8 years. The city is in #Russian hands. Geolocated here.
This previously overlooked southern salient of #Popasna, rather than the northern one, was discussed earlier in this thread and in deed has fallen much faster, due to its inherent danger (to UA forces) and greater tactical vulnerability. By withdrawing,
the #Ukrainian forces avoided certain encirclement and another mass surrender event. The two important cities, the dam and its power plant however are now in Russian hands. Was the UA withdrawal call correct? Well here is reported collaboration of the UA General Staff:
Speaking of the difficulty of blowing up dams (& bridges on top of them) & whether #Ukraine would cause such flooding & havoc on its own settlements, I guess we have the answer. #Ukrainian forces attempted to blow up the Vuhlehirske dam on the #Luhan / Lugan river. Geolocated blw
Destroying the dam would have caused great damage and likely death in #Svitlodarsk & surrounding settlements. This was done to slow down the Russian advance as the UA front here is collapsing. As we discussed earlier, Svitlodarsk & Myronivksyi were in danger of being cut off.
From the southeast, these cities were protected with entrenchments such as these two facing the RU forces (& these are just what existed before the war). This important front & cities could be taken by RU forces by an advance on their rear to cut the E40
Lots to update elsewhere, but a word on the salient south of #Popasna, that often gets overlooked. Using livemap (typically a bit outdated & w a UA bias). Firstly, this salient is very important for several reasons. The blue are represents a general heavily fortified area of the
#Ukrainian front. It guards the critical junctions of #Bakhmut and #Kostyantynivka. The Horlivka (RU) front, has not moved very much the entire war due to these heavy entrenchments. Note the two main roads south from Bakhmut that feed this front. Also note the important railway
from #Poapsna (now under RU control). Finally, two important cities, #Svitlodarsk & #Myronivskyi are behind this front. It would be very difficult for RU to attempt to take these by frontal attack. Cutting off one of these roads would be a strong blow to this front & both
09:34 #Svitlodarsk: First somewhere bearby, now 120mm+, Luhanske-Lozove, some 10 and continues, and hitting the Novoluhanske hill...
09:45 #Svitlodarsk: #Luhanske-Lozove some 7-10m ago 20 pieces of something landed, in some 10s, dunno what I was indoors
09:59 #Svitlodarsk: Seemingly ceased, before that was without a pause. Rumbling in #Pokrovske direction
12:11 #Horlivka: "Heavy gun fire outgoing from us, now. The area of #Herasymenka St. Special offer 'Just Stop Shooting' [=sarcasm, one of @ZelenskyyUa's electoral narratives, what he considers as a way to 'stop the war']"
@ZelenskyyUa 12:18 #Horlivka: Can't hear it
"That's closer to Svitlodarsk, far fr/ you"
"No matter, an Akatsia'd be heard"
12:32 "That's not abt Akatsiya. Ceased so far, probably fire was returned"
