The situation around Robotyne is a bit murky, as Russian source claim to have captured three buildings in Robotyne. Other, less reliable milbloggers still claim major fighting is ongoing for the center of the village, though there is nothing to substantiate those claims. There have also been some sporadic claims that Ukraine has breached the second defensive line arcing from in front of Verbove to behind Novoprokopivka, likely somewhere in between the two. I have good reasons to believe that publicly available information is lagging behind battlefield developments here, and as a result I think it's quite possible that Ukraine has in fact broken through this line. Ukraine has not yet publicly confirmed that they have breached this particular line. There has also been some clarification about Novoprokopivka; the town is primarily under Russian control. What I believe happened is an advanced Ukrainian force made it to the town, some spooked Russian units fled, and then pulled themselves together. I've also grown quite sceptical of the still persistent claims that Ukrainian troops are active around Ilchenkove; the claims are seemingly originating from a group of people who frequently seem to invent their own narratives.
Russia has redeployed some of their best remaining elite VDV units to the area south of Robotyne, including some units which have spent some time reconstituting. Some observers now believe that Russia is just about out of reserves, a theory which Russia has lended credence to by largely conducting lateral moves in recent weeks, rather than genuinely rotating full units in and out. Troop rotation has happened, but this has been on a small scale, rather than the brigade level. There has also been some recent anecdotes that Russia has been ramping up their quiet enforced recruitment drive, much as they did prior to their official partial mobilization last year. However, it's virtually impossible to verify as, by definition, this is something that would be happening "unofficially".
Based on NASA's FIRMS, which tracks heat anomalies (typically fires or explosions), there was likely a major attack against the airbase at Tokmak, and possibly the adjacent solar plant, which is the largest solar plant in Ukraine. There were also independently some claims of a series of explosions hitting the city earlier in the day. The Tokmak solar plant was previously damaged when Russian troops captured the city, so if it damaged again in the latest attack, it wouldn't necessarily be a major loss should Ukraine retake the plant depending on its previous condition. Beyond the actual major defensive lines, including a ring of fortifications encircling Tokmak, the airbase and nearby areas will be a major obstacle for Ukrainian troops should they manage to reach the outskirts of the city.
With Russia now deploying extra units to the Zaporizhzhia front after Ukraine has done the same, most of the rest of the front has ground to a standstill, a sort of inverse of when Russia threw all of their resources into seizing Bakhmut, and Ukraine threw all of theirs to try to make Russia's advance extremely costly. Speaking of Bakhmut, there is still heavy combat ongoing to the south, particularly in Klishchiivka where Ukrainian troops have, yet again, pushed into the center of the town. However where the entire front stretching from Kurdyumivka to Bakhmut, and then also to the northwest of Bakhmut used to see some of the fiercest fighting in Ukraine, now the scope has largely been reduced to the Klishchiivka area.
Ukraine is also still trying to advance towards Staromlynivka, and Russia is still trying to complete their second defensive line to the south of the town. In particular, Ukraine is still trying to get Russia to cede Pryyutne, though to no avail. Ukraine's push against Novodonetske and Kremenchuk seems to have stalled out as well. The slowdown of Ukraine's offensive here is almost certainly due to the shifting of troops to the front around Robotyne. It was reported that eleven days ago, Ukrainian and NATO leadership held a meeting on the border of Poland and Ukraine, where NATO urged Ukraine to change their strategy to a more concentrated push. Urozhaine was liberated ten days ago; given the timing of this and the meeting, it's quite possible that Ukraine decided to not commit heavily to taking Staromlynivka once it became clear that Russian units weren't about to be routed. At this meeting, battle plans for the winter were also reportedly discussed. Delays and politicking with getting Ukraine equipment they needed this past winter (plus a possible procurement scandal involving uniforms) meant that Ukraine couldn't really take advantage of the fairly mild winter to launch offensives, and it gave Russia time to put together the formidable defensive lines that Ukraine is now struggling to break. Hopefully, Ukraine and its partners are better preparing for this winter, as it becomes increasingly likely that there will be no drastic collapse of the Russian military in the remaining month of summer or in autumn, when offensives might be forced to halt due to mud.
A training accident yesterday between two Ukrainian trainer planes led to the deaths of three pilots, including one who was quite decorated and well known for his sorties over Kyiv during the opening phase of Russia's full scale invasion. There has been much speculation that he was to be part of the program for teaching Ukrainian pilots how to fly F-16s; if so, this has the potential to be a major setback as the United States in particular has expressed extreme reservations about the large majority of Ukrainian pilots being able to fly F-16s.
A second trapped merchant vessel, the PRIMUS, left port. It was an exciting moment for Ukraine, as it could have proven that the earlier evacuation of a merchant vessel was no fluke. However, the PRIMUS eventually turned around for unknown reasons, and has moored outside of Odesa. Its decision to not continue might be informed by a Russian strike on Snake Island, though this is pure speculation on my part.
