Russian forces have partial success near Vuhlehirsk power station, - General Staff of Armed Forces of Ukraine says in the evening report
this usually means capture , south of bakhmut pocket is indefensible for the most part with the loss of the plant, i think it is first to fall. Siversk and bakhmut will last a bit longer

Liveumap is based in ukraine and ran by a couple of ukranians, they usually exaggerate ukranian gains and lessen russian ones. But even they have the plant as under russian control..
As for vysokopillya there was no mass encirclement or mass surrender, i dont know why anyone still listens to arestovich, he is just a propaganda outlet AND 90% of fantasy stories somehow always end up originating from him.. the villages north of kherson change hands every 3-4 days, the frontline isnt occupied by anyone for the most part its no-mans-land..
All the hype about kherson is just propaganda that is it, there has been a stalemate in the frontline for approximately 3 months now, people need to stop listening to arestovich, i dont know how someone can be wrong 50 times and peoples till believe the source.
There is only small-scale skermishes and artillery barrages on the kherson front. They bombed the inhulets bridge a few times, and the russians just quickly repair it + they put up 2 pontoon bridges as extra-precaution there was a video of it like 2 days ago. As for the main kherson bridge, or the dam-bridge you need massive rockets to destroy that sort of infrastructure, the sort of rockets the ukranians were shooting at it are childrens play .. also so far not a single tochka has hit it, and the russians wont let one hit it either.. (there is video of this a day ago or so, the potholes are insignificantly small)
As for russian sources, rybar is top tier, usually 100% correct in their statements about
land-control and attacks. I would say easily of all sources i have followed rybar has consistently shown it is the most trustable. But ofcourse you have to ignore statements they make that aren't about ground attacks or land control i.e opinions.
For ukranian sources everything is rubbish, especially msm, absolutely horrendously filled with endless regurgitated garbage. The only legit source is direct comments from the ukranian ministry of defense but only when they talk about
land control, everything else is rubbish. There is many examples, like the early strike on the mechanized brigade on nikolaev, ukranians said 15 dead but video was going around showing minimum of 100 dead bodies. But when they say we hold X or Y it is usually correct.
IF you want a map that is very good, far better than liveumap, i recommend suriyakmaps on twitter, he is pro-russian but extremely unbiased when he makes his map. Although he does update his map infrequently at times.
The best maper of all time was HANDS-down nobody could even compete with dragon, but the russian ministry of defense sent someone to his house to tell him to shut the website down because it revealed too much about army positions and their structure .. Even his maps on syria were godtier with specific compositions
