In Kursk Russians are still playing whack-a-mole with the distracting diversionary forces and AFU solidifies and expands the occupied areas.
I think Russia in Donetsk wants something like this, as a mid-range goal. Straightening the front, so they can concentrate more on one point - which is the Tsentr at the center aiming towards Pokrovsk.

Meanwhile one of the cooling towers at Zap NPP vomits black smoke into the sky and noone knows why and what could emit that. Perhaps they piled up a bunch of tires there and lit 'em.
