13/ Notice the large number of dugouts and vehicle firing positions being constructed. These positions have been completed since then. Trenches in the sample pictures 13a and 13b are roughly 3km in width and could serve as battalion strongpoint.

14/ 14-15: as can be seen from this sentinel image, the Russian trench lines and fortifications continue on both sides of Solodka Balka strongpoint with multiple fallback positions and reserve trenches. Russians can deploy multiple battalions of infantry along this defensive belt https://twitter.com/Inkvisiit/status/1655584429715193856/photo/1

15/ Finally before Tokmak, there is a second robust reserve line 6-7km behind Solodka Balka. Tokmak is also surrounded by circular AT-ditch and multiple separate strongpoints. Village of Ocheretuvate is also being fortified for all-around defense. https://twitter.com/Inkvisiit/status/1655584432911163392/photo/1

16/ But that’s enough for today. You can find more about the Russian fortifications on our map at: https://www.scribblemaps.com/maps/view/The-War-in-Ukraine/091194
(From the sidebar click “Russian defence lines”)
17/ Finally we would like to thank @wihurinrahasto for funding our research and enabling us to purchase commercial satellite imagery. This analysis would not have been possible without them. This thread will be followed by tactical-operational analysis at later date.

Ukraine has begun a series of local counterattacks in the Bakhmut area. First they pushed Russians to the canal in the south, and now they're attacking Russian positions near Bohdanivka and Khromove road. 1/ https://twitter.com/emilkastehelmi/status/1656768748823379971/photo/1
