A russian push for high ground near the front.
Yellow line is less than 10 miles from Avdiivka, so that's the distance covered in two months.

In March, the U.S. quietly approved the transfer of a number of Army Tactical Missile Systems with a range of nearly 200 miles, said a senior Biden administration official and two U.S. officials, allowing President Volodymyr Zelenskyy’s forces to put at risk more Russian targets inside Ukrainian sovereign territory....

BREAKING:
Russia Deputy Defense Minister Timu Ivanov has been arrested for bribery. He is responsible for construction matters in the Ministry of Defense.
Surprise? Not really, maybe some infighting at the top,
A couple of rumors about Ivanov's arrest.
1. Three other people were arrested together with him,
2. The arrest took place during a high level meeting.
3. Putin wants Shoigu out, so so he is clearing Shoigu's associates out of the MOD.
4. The media that broke the news belongs to Putin's banker, Kovalchuk.
