You may remember that I posted this map a week and a half ago:

It is beginning to look like the Russians may have broken through where the innermost pincers are marked. The ones labelled “June 2022?”. (Centered around Lyman to the North and Popasna to the South.)

In terms of area, the pocket looks like maybe 20 miles by 20 miles.

The Ukrainian military had approximately 4 Brigades in that area. (~5000 soldiers. Maybe less.) However they had been taking hundreds of casualties over the past few weeks. And there is no word whether the Ukrainians will keep their troops in the ‘kessel’ or withdraw them while they still can. If they do attempt to withdraw, there are only a couple of good roads available. And those roads are likely to be under Russian artillery fire soon.

The pincers are to just to the West of where the Russians made several failed attempts to cross the Siversky-Donets Rivers. There are a number of towns along that part of the river and their situation is also not clear.

Russian casualties have also been high and while their performance has improved over the past month, it is still not that good.
