Today's report is 62 pages.
What's the big story? Where to begin? A lot happened in the last 24 hours. The biggest story is the Armed Forces of Ukraine gained territory in Luhansk and southwest Donetsk while holding the line in Bakhmut - Russia's offensive operations are not going to plan unless the plan is called Operation Epic Fail.
The second story? Zelenskyy goes to Bakhmut, then leaves for Washington D.C., Prigozhin is jilted in Popasna, Putin pretends to go to Ukraine, and Strelkov is jealous of Pegov's visit to the Kremlin. But wait, there's more in today's episode of 300 Days of War, Sergei Lavrov finds a microphone to say more wild things.
