The Russians simply moved some troops from one area to another. These are not “ gains “ . They took pictures outside an already abandoned village which has no strategic interest.

The reality is human wave attacks with limited armor support has created a bloodbath for Russian troops. They try to cross open fields grouped together and get wasted by artillery being guided by drones in real time. Stragglers get wasted by drones dropping grenades.

Ukraine just brought up a fresh battalion to start counter offensives. The defensive units are being rotated out and new troops are moving in.
