When you're writing (quote):

"The likelihood of the "Vostok (East)" Operational Grouping’s forward units reaching Kurakhove from the south and thereby supporting the combat objectives of the 51st and 8th Combined Arms Armies is low."

- can you say how many ZSU fortifications are there, in between of - for example - Sukhi Yaly, Kostiantynopolske, Uspenivka - and Kurakhove?

Available sat photographs are revealing exactly zero. Moreover, the 33rd Mech and the 79th Airborne are already on withdrawal to Dalnie and from Antonivka to Illinka, respectivelly (seems, their COs have figured out on time they're within yet another cauldron: Syrsky usually takes 7-10 days to figure out such 'unpleasantries').

So, just asking for a friend...

CDS does not have its own satellite constellation, so we do not comment on such images. Additionally, we do not have access to the operation plan, so we have no information about the nature or extent of fortifications on any of the operational fronts.
