  It helps open up a northern advance for the Ukrainians on Lyschansk and Siverodonetsk. It’s still very critical.
context: This would be a very big deal. It would mean a complete chang in logistics for Russia, greatly throttling resupply to the Eastern front. It also loosens the strategic value of cities north leaving those garrisons as a strategic liability and ripe target for liberators. >
  
  A complete chang in logistics? >

  Also on Tuesday, Putin concluded his two-day “informal summit” in St Petersburg with the heads of the Commonwealth of Independent States, a Moscow-led group consisting of former Soviet states, by gifting the eight leaders present gold rings.
  
  But they were all of them deceived, for in secret Putin forged a master ring, one ring to rule them all.
  Sheesh this guy is even taking plays out of Sauron's playbook now. >
  
  Commonwealth of Independent States = CIS, he's being Palpatine too >
  
  Steven Seagal has ran out of Hollywood action villain plotlines, so he's switched to advising Putin with scifi/fantacy villain plotlines. >

  This is pretty substantial. My understanding is that the Russians had been supplying lots of their troops in the Donbas via the p66 highway that runs through svatove and kreminna. This will significantly worsen Russian supply in the Donbas (including near bakhmut). I would not be surprised if this leads to a lot of movement on both sides as this would cause many russian positions in the Donbas to become untenable. >
  
  No, that highway has been under artillery observation by the Ukrainian forces for several weeks now. The Russians are already using alternative supply lines.
