The ISW report also notes the redeployment of Ukrainian forces in the vicinity of Bakhmut.
The Russian military has made slight advancements in the industrial zone southeast of Avdiiivka, with offensive actions undertaken near Bakhmut and along the Kupyansk-Svatovo-Kreminna line.
While Russian efforts to push west and southwest of Donetsk were met with limited success, the ISW confirms a Russian advance along the border of the Donetsk and Zaporizhzhia regions, east of Urozhayne.
The report also mentions minor movements of Ukrainian forces southwest from the village of Robotyne in the western part of the Zaporizhia region and near Bakhmut in Donetsk.
Ukrainian military on Friday confirmed the establishment of several bridgeheads on the eastern bank of the Dnieper River in the southern Kherson region. This strategic positioning by the Ukrainian army aims to displace Russian troops from areas where they can execute artillery attacks across the west bank of the Dnieper.
