The latest from Ukraine: the Russians have fired their commanding general in the south

The Russians may be in more trouble than many realize. Firing a general means things are going badly.
There are many reports tonight that Ukraine has breached a major line of defense near the village of Robotyne.
One of my sharper sources is speculating that Ukraine has been at the major line of defense for weeks. There may not be that much once Ukraine pushes a bit farther south.

Ukraine confirms fire control over Bakhmut!

The Ukraine armed forces have seized control of the high ground directly west of Klishchiivka and south of the city of Bakhmut. With their more accurate artillery fire they can methodically eliminate Russian positions in the city and start preventing resupply.
