There are several "Verkhnokamianske" on maps in this place (including the oil refinery), on second thought i doubt the Russians made it that far west already and it's just a mix up.
At most they control the Verkhniokamianka hamlet south of the Novozolotarivka Railway station:

>>347344
>Ukrainians overtook Snake Island
Not quite. The ruskies abandoned it, but the island is a rock very difficult to defend. Anyone on it is a sitting duck.

>>347344
It's true.
The island was too exposed to long range artillery and UAVs.
Since a naval assault on Odessa couldn't be made it lost it's value and was evacuated. There's videos of hardware that they couldn't bring being bombed by Ru aviation.

I remember a video of DPR conscripts opposing being sent to LPR frontlines like a month ago, it was understandable since the enemy is literally on the doorstep of Donetsk city and their frontline is way, way bigger.
I wonder if the fighting solely taking place in DPR territory from now on will have a positive or negative effect in terms of DPR/LPR manpower.
Either way, i'm hyped for DPR content, the return to Slavyansk will be kino.

Filmed at southern entrance of Bilohorivka

On northern Slavyansk front, it was revealed that Bohorodychne wasn't captured by the Russians after all.
These images of Ru tanks which had run into a minefield at southwestern outskirts of the town was uploaded by ukrops days ago.
RIA Novosti reported "with reference to LPR Ministry of Internal Affairs" today that the town has been captured. But i don't understand how LPR became the source of news in DPR territory.
http://wikimapia.org/#lang=en&lat=49.014568&lon=37.511187&z=14&show=/1987358/Bohorodychne
Anyway, this puts the validity of the Ru claims of controlling Pryshyb, Sydorove and anything east of Bohorodychne on this side of the river into question... Not to mention Dolyna and Krasnopillia, all claims no proofs.

Huh i though everything east of the Seversky Donets river was under Ru control...
I´m guessing they retreated because the Russians are taking control of the forest between the resort and the river or they realized it´s a stupid position to hold when the main push to Slavyansk is happening on the western side of the river.

Siversk:
TASS are claiming Siversk city has been entered tonight and is being cleared at the moment (Verkhnokamianske was claimed captured earlier by other sources).
If they can´t hold a frontal attack in Siversk, the defensive line to Soledar looks to be kaputt.

Bakhmut/Soledar:
Some sources are claiming clashes in or around Pokrovske, Vesela Dolyna and Vershina (last two of these villages are real small).
Power station salient is most definitely being evacuated if Zaitseve is captured.

If everything is true, the nearly two week hiatus from proper offensive action didn´t improve things for the ukrops in the Donbas.

Haven´t heard anything regarding yesterdays' other claims on Bakhmut front tho.

Clashes in Siversk is claimed to still be ongoing, but i'm starting to doubt they have even reached the city perimiter on account of so few sources talking about it... surely it would've been a bigger deal if it was true.

That has been the running joke in most non-small hat owned/operated/controlled/cucked/kiked/screwed/jewed/shilled to death intel communities, former and active, since 2014. Why is that year significant? It's the same year that the Ukrainians became a banana republic: the president they wanted was not the president that most higher ups in the Jew-S desired.

Within days of that coup, reports of Ukrainians 'going missing', drug trafficking from La Sia using stripped down military/civil airliners, and organ harvesting were rampant. Of course, none of that was ever reported by Jew-S news agencies.. just like every other banana republic has been 'harvested'. In preparation to counter what has been called "external recolonization".

What does Russia and certain allies do when they realize that their next door neighbor is now hosting dozens of secret NATO and Jew-S agencies, not to mention the over half a million unidentified brand new citizens with suspiciously 'muricuck sounding names? They begin to modernize their military and restructure. Some do so seriously, some do not. Technologies and prototypes that were shelved due to lack of funds or interest suddenly become interesting enough to move into experimental stages. Unusual systems, both military and non, that were once scoffed at for being a bit more expensive than the general military grade (re: dogshit that works for a while) slowly trickle into late stage testing scenarios, then enter production. An excellent example is a certain 400 series that, owing to the knowledge of the 300 variant, was rushed into prototype, experimental, and then widespread field usage with better-than-expected results. A poor example would be the T-14 Armata as it was a field testbed for new technologies, and partially as a demonstration platform. A good deal of corruption, bribery, and kickbacks to military complexes have slowed those processes down by a small margin.

The second, more serious implication is this: if Ukraine were to allahu snackbar Russian forces or regions with nuclear weaponry, the entire world would come to the inevitable conclusion that Ukraine is nothing more than a puppet. The hand controlling them belongs to the political, economic, and social leaders of the Jew-S. In other words: "There is no war in Ba Sing Se."

>>348466
Essentially Hezbollah and others are pressuring the Lebanese government to declare line 29 officially, Lebanon will probably give that up for 23 which Israel would probably accept even though they dispute it currently, this would give Qana to Lebanon and Karish to Israel. Problem being that Karish is known to have oil and gas whereas Qana is not known to have anything yet. Lebanon is still in a real bad economic spot so they would really benefit from Karish. Hezbollah sent some drones a while ago to show they are serious which they may or may not actually be.

Fortunately the US sent someone to mediate, that person being a Jew who was born in Israel and was in the IDF. I think I almost understand what's going on.

>>348408
I'm glad to see whatever autism you can produce personally.

General Staff of the Armed Forces of Ukraine claim Ru forces were trying to advance on four fronts in Donbas yesterday.
Nothing out of the ordinary besides an assault towards Vodyane in the southwest Donetsk direction, a sign that they might be trying to envelop Pavlivka/Vuhledar. They could uproot the ukrops at the western outskirts of Donetsk city from here and eventually cut the main supply route to Slavyansk at Pokrovsk.
Presumably due to the stiff resistance this front hasn't moved in ages but the scenario of the Slavyansk defensive line being broken from behind might not be too far out there when taking the insane gains of the early days of the war into account.

>>348469
Thanks fren, i'll try to do better tho

>>348467
Triple edged war going on there:
#1: Lebanon needs Syria's backing in order to survive (or Iran, but given than the enter huwestern huwurld HAAAAYTTTESSSS Iran, the second option is much more dangerous).
#2: Syria needs ammunition exports in order to keep La Sia and other (((world actors))) from taking over; pissraniggerhail production levels aren't a drop in the bucket compared to the hundred thousand mercenaries demanding bigger, badder weapons and their accompanying accessories.
#3: Russia and other actual independents can keep up with orders for self-defense systems, ammunition, and securities interests. That scares the kike, which scares the kike's goyim, and in turn scares the golems.

Lebanon, given the proper motivation insert Vergil here, could roll over all the pissrakikes and their fancy jew-tech toys. Problem is they don't have enough allies around them to maintain a certain number of fighters on the walls, or in the halls.

Also the map is from yesterday but nothing's changed since then so it's not already outdated.

The Svitlodarsk power plant is the Vuhlehirska power plant, the plant and Novoluhanske are both real close to Svitlodarsk which was captured back in May. Not shown in gains because a wiki map of this scale would get too cluttered if they added everything i guess.

Ukraine Shitmupdate
Russians seize Pisky near Donetsk Airport (issued a correction there and then an update), and Hladosove north of Horlivka

>Donetsk Airport
B-but wasn't a long battle in 2015/16 for that airport and the militias won it already? So in all this years the Donbass' forces just came out from the airport skirts?
Something is not adding up.

>>349466
I mean, the Airport itself was only mostly under control of DPR the entire time, that long battle was to take control of the main buildings but the runway itself was still contested (a no mans land tbh) since then
Donetsk itself is still a frontline city, as in Ukrainians are literally right there at the gates in some suburbs. The metro itself is not under imminent threat, but the Ukrainians are still positioned at the outskirts of its suburbs. It's only recently that the Russians/DPR have been pushing them away from Donetsk city and as Snus mentioned earlier, the DPR refused to send forces to Luhansk during the Sievierodonetsk/Lysychansk offensive because the Ukrainians were right there at the edge of the city

According to the latest claims, Ru forces control roughly 1/4th of Soledar. There's video evidence of them in control of the Knauf plant and a neighborhood which confirms they are making progress inside of the city.
The city is very long and they're fighting through it street by street, everything is suggesting this will be a meatgrinder all the way to the Bakhmut-Siversk road which passes by the western outskirts of the city.

What will happen to the countryside of the Slavyansk-Bakhmut-Siversk triangle, especially the territory west of the Siversk-Bakhmut-Gorlovka river valley itself (extremely small river) is a mystery to me. Siversk next seems pretty obvious but an assault on Bakhmut is not out of the question on account of the battles between Bakhmut and Horlivka.

Novorossia needs Strelkov back.

>an assault on Bakhmut is not out of the question
There have been claims circulating for days of fighting in the factory zone (black box on Snusmap) in the eastern outskirts of Bakhmut, if it turns out to be true I figure i should've mentioned it before it gets some confirmation.
Haven't seen any footage (besides the ukrops blowing up a pedestrian bridge in the city center) so i'm highly skeptical of the claims even though it's reported by WarGonzo and the UA MoD acknowledging Ru forces are trying to advance directly on Bakhmut city itself.
The city had a population of 72k before the "special operation" started, so it wouldn't be a small feat to capture it without cutting the supply lines etc.

The bridge (orange box on map) was blown up on the sixth of August by the way, smart move by the ukrops to prepare a defensive line along the river early, just in case i guess.
