They moved further along M-03 and fights are now at Minkivka, I suppose these are some preliminary probing. Russians couldn't manage at Zaliznianske however. I think they need that too, maybe later. But situation have certain similarity to what I doodled. In my mind - this is real - Bakhmut has less importance. I think Ukrainian units are exhausted, they are moving out when they can, how they can. I bet regrouping is done at Chasiv Yar. That position has to be threatened and encircled too, to be less bogged down when attacking that hilltop. Another idea, if the Russians could reach the canal, it could act as somewhat secure support, and give more distance that separates the NW and SW counter-attacking Ukrainian groups.
