    The image really illustrates the gains well, when one of those “offensive arrows” that usually span regions or even continents spans the area of like 15 parking spaces in a mid-sized car park.

    I would just like to point out this paragraph from Wikipedia about Levadne:

    According to the 1989 Ukrainian SSR census, the settlement had a population of 19, consisting of fourteen women and five men.[3] In the 2001 census, the settlement’s population would drop to only one person,[4] who spoke Ukrainian.[5]

    And from the article about Shakhtarske:

    At that time, Russian forces attacked the settlement near Shakhtarske using armoured vehicles and infantry. “In the afternoon, a convoy of eight armoured vehicles reached the village [of Shakhtarske] and attempted to break through towards Velyka Novosilka. One armoured combat vehicle was hit, forcing the rest to pull back. By evening, a larger convoy of over 15 armoured vehicles arrived and split at Zolota Nyva. Part of the convoy again tried to advance towards Velyka Novosilka, but after the lead vehicle was hit, they decided to retreat. The fate of the remaining vehicles in the convoy is unknown.”

    So the news is: Russians captured another Ukrainian farmshed at Levadne, and were turned back twice at Shakhtarske after losing another two combat vehicles.
