Russian army makes insignificant advances on five directions - ISW
Advances of Russian invaders were recorded near Kupiansk, Bakhmut, Avdiivka, Novomykhailivka in Donetsk region and Novoprokopivka in Zaporizhzhia.
This is reported by the Institute for the Study of War (ISW), Censor.NET informs.
"Geolocation footage released on December 18 shows that Russian troops have made insignificant advances north of Synkivka (northeast of Kupiansk). And footage from December 12 confirms a Russian offensive northwest of Bilohorivka of the Donetsk region, 15 km northeast of Bakhmut," the report says.
ISW analysts also add that the occupiers confirmed their advance near Avdiivka. Geolocation footage released on December 18 shows that Russian forces made insignificant advances north of Pervomaiske (approximately 10 km southwest of Avdiivka) on December 15. Additional geo-location footage released on December 19 shows that Russian forces also made minor advances in the area of the quarry southwest of Avdiivka.
Russian troops made insignificant advances southwest of Donetsk city. A geolocation video posted on December 19 shows that Russian forces have achieved a small success along Tsentralna Street on the eastern outskirts of Novomykhailivka.
Geolocation footage released on December 18 shows the Russian front line is further east of Novoprokopivka (directly south of Robotyne) than previously thought, although this advance is likely not the result of a Russian counterattack and is unlikely to have been made in the last 24 hours. Ukrainian forces may have withdrawn to more defensible positions closer to Robotyne.
