Ukrainian military forces advanced in the area near Bakhmut in the Donetsk region and in the southern part of the Zaporizhzhia region on October 30, reports ISW.
The experts from ISW noted that on geolocated images published on October 30, it is visible that Ukrainian forces advanced to the northeast of Kurdyumivka, which is located about 10 km southwest of Bakhmut.
Additional geolocated images from October 29 also show that the Ukrainian military made slight advances to the west of Robotyne in the Zaporizhzhia region. The General Staff of the Ukrainian Armed Forces confirmed that Ukrainian forces are continuing their offensive actions in the Bakhmut area and in the Melitopol direction.
Key findings by ISW:
-
Russian officials have stated that law enforcement agencies quelled anti-Semitic disturbances in Makhachkala.
-
The disturbances on October 29 in Dagestan highlight the increasing radicalization and factionalization of Russian society, exacerbated by nationalist ideologies heightened by the war in Ukraine.
-
Russian forces continue to employ Storm-Z assault units, composed of conscripts, for frontal attacks under infantry command.
-
On October 30, Russian forces conducted offensive operations along the Kupiansk-Svatove-Kreminna line and in the area around Avdiivka.
