Luhansk direction: Russian troops are slowly advancing towards Belogorovka

On February 10, the invaders continued their offensive operations northwest of Svatovo. According to the General Staff of Ukraine, the Armed Forces of Ukraine repelled the attacks of Russian troops in the area of ​​the settlements of Gryanikovka (54 km northwest of Svatovo) and Masyutovka (51 km northwest of Svatovo) in the Kharkiv region, as well as Stelmakhivka in the Luhansk region (15 km to west of Svatovo).

The RF Ministry of Defense stated that they occupied Dvurechnoye, Kharkiv region (53 km north-west of Svatovo), although ISW experts did not find any visual confirmation of this statement.

It is likely that the invaders are concentrating forces northwest of Svatovo and likely intend to capture Dvurechnoe in the coming weeks. The settlement is located at the intersection of the P79 highway leading southwest to Kupyansk, and the T2114 highway leading northwest to Veliky Burluk.

In addition, Russian forces continued offensive operations in the Kremennaya area. According to Russian bloggers, the invaders continue positional offensive operations in the area of ​​Belogorovka (12 km south of Kremennaya). However, ISW did not record any visual evidence of the presence of Russian forces in Belogorovka.

Donetsk direction: invaders are trying to cut the roads leading to Bakhmut

The occupiers do not stop ground attacks around Bakhmut. Russian sources claimed that they took control of the highways T0504 Konstantinovka – Chasov Yar – Bakhmut and E40 Bakhmut – Slavyansk.

Several bloggers claimed that Wagner PMC militants broke through the Ukrainian defensive lines in the direction of Stupotsky (about 12 km west of Bakhmut). Russian sources also reported heavy fighting north of Bakhmut along the E40 highway.

Also on February 10, the invaders attempted an offensive in the Avdiivka-Donetsk region. The Armed Forces of Ukraine repelled the attacks of Russian troops in the area of ​​​​Avdeevka and Krasnogorovka. The Ukrainian military also repulsed the advance of Russian troops near Prechistovka (35km southwest of Donetsk).

Southern direction: the invaders are pushing the forces of PMC “Wagner” to the Zaporozhye region

According to Russian media, the invaders attacked Novodanilovka, Zaporozhye region. The Russian source also complained that the Russian troops stopped their offensive in the Zaporozhye direction after successes for which they were not ready.

It was also reported that Wagner fighters were transferred to Mirne, Zaporozhye region, to make up for combat losses. Thus, the Russian command is trying to push the forces of PMCs into areas deprived of priority on the front line.

Luhansk direction: Armed Forces of Ukraine destroy modern enemy equipment near Kremennaya

The troops of the Russian Federation continued offensive operations on the Svatovo-Kremennaya line. According to the General Staff of the Armed Forces of Ukraine, Ukrainian troops repelled an attack by Russian troops in the Stelmakhivka area, 15 km west of Svatovo.

The Russian Defense Ministry said that units of the Central Military District are operating in the Liman direction and are using TOS-1 thermobaric multiple launch rocket systems. Footage released on February 9 also shows a Ukrainian strike on a Russian BMPT Terminator combat vehicle about 5 miles south of Kremennaya, indicating that the Russian command is deploying new equipment to this sector of the front.

According to the summary of the General Staff of the Armed Forces of Ukraine, Ukrainian troops repelled the attack of Russian troops near Belogorovka. The Russian blogger said that the occupiers are advancing about 5 km south of Kremennaya.

Donetsk direction: occupiers suffered serious losses near Vugledar

On February 9, the invaders continued ground attacks around Bakhmut. The Armed Forces of Ukraine repelled Russian attacks on Bakhmut himself; northeast of Bakhmut near Fedorovka (15 km northeast); north of Bakhmut in the area of ​​Krasnaya Gora (4 km north) and Paraskovievka (5 km north).

It is reported that the invaders have recently changed their tactics in the Bakhmut area and focused not so much on frontal strikes on small settlements, but on blocking Ukrainian ground communications to Bakhmut along the E40 Bakhmut-Slavyansk and T0504 Konstantinovka-Chasov Yar-Bakhmut highways.

According to Russian bloggers, Wagner PMC militants are advancing towards Ivanovsky and attacking along the E40 highway in the Orekhovo-Vasilyevka area (10 km northwest of Bakhmut).

It is alleged that the invaders resumed assault operations on the outskirts of Ugledar. Judging by the fact that the invaders in this direction use volunteer battalions, the 155th and 40th brigades of the Marine Corps of the Russian Federation that previously operated in this area suffered irreparable losses and are being replaced by other formations. Published footage from the Ugledar region shows the defeated Russian mechanized unit of the 155th Marine Brigade, which lost 13 main battle tanks and 12 infantry fighting vehicles in one battle.

South direction: the Ukrainian military repelled the attack of the Russian troops in the south of the Zaporozhye region

On February 9, Russian troops carried out a limited ground attack in the south of the Zaporozhye region. The General Staff of the Armed Forces of Ukraine reported that Ukrainian forces repelled the offensive of Russian troops in the area of ​​Novoandreevka, Zaporozhye region.

In addition, on February 9, Russian troops continued regular shelling west of Huliaipole, as well as in the Dnepropetrovsk and Kherson regions. Also, the invaders launched artillery strikes on the cities of Kherson and Nikopol in the Dnepropetrovsk region.
