8⃣ HOY hace justo UN AÑO que escribí este tuit.
Las tropas rusas habían terminado de ocupar Popasna después de un esfuerzo importante y ya me imaginaba que apuntaban a Bakhmut.
En este tiempo Ucrania ha organizado dos contraofensivas exitosas, de alguna manera relacionadas y está en marcha la tercera.

7⃣ Como Ucrania consiga explotar una ruptura al norte de Soledar y avanzar por la T-13-02 anclándose en Nahirne + vía tren, puede llegar al sur de Soledar y prácticamente a la retaguardia de Bakhmut, pero antes debe sortear las defensas que los rusos han levantado al norte de Soledar y en la propia carretera. La artillería ucraniana tendría que insistir bastante en ese punto.

**Response to @KyivIndependent:**
The advance was first reported on May 10 by Colonel General Oleksandr Syrskyi, the commander of Ukraine's Land Forces, who said that Russian troops "could not resist the onslaught of the Ukrainian defenders and retreated to a distance of up to two kilometers."

**Response to @KyivIndependent:**
According to Maliar, Russian troops "failed to implement their plans" and "suffered heavy losses of manpower" in the area.
"At the same time, the enemy gives false information about the lack of weapons, which probably aims to justify the real situation."

Actualización de mapas. Los avances ucranianos son sustanciales y confirman los lamentos del jefe de Wagner, que avisó hace días de que algo así podía pasar.

Rusia ha comenzado a entregar viejos T-54/T-55 a sus unidades de artillería. Serán usados como simples ATP, con tripulaciones mixtas de carristas y artilleros, sin conductor, puesto que no se moverá de su posición debido a su mal estado general. Info de cta. rusa.

Shaping, a standard tactic developed before major joint operations, involves attacking targets such as weapons depots, command centers, armored vehicles, and artillery systems to prepare the battlefield for the advancing force.
