Ukraine War, 4 September 2023

I’m very sorry, but much too busy with my work, these days (and yes, working during the weekend, too), to fill a proper report....though... and essentially, and from the area between Novoprokopivka and Verbove:

- on Friday, the ZSU, definitely, secured the Hill 166;

- by Saturday morning, it secured the next hill east/south-east from there, think that's Hill 161;

....and then pushed so far, the Russians abandoned even their artillery pieces BEHIND their '2nd trenchline of the 2nd Defence Line', as obvious from this video-still:

Captured enemy artillery is always a good sign: it means not only ‘advance’, but ‘advance by kilometres’.

There should be quite a lots of prisoners of war from the 104th VDV Regiment (76th VDV Division), too…

Given where are the Russians usually deploying their artillery (and not only the Russians), that is likely to mean that the forward Ukrainian positions are now somewhere where titles of Russian units like 'BARS-11', '108 VDV', 'BARS-1' etc are, on this map (from 31 August):

Hope to have more details - and time - tomorrow.
