The Ukrainian 3rd Army Corps (3AK), based on the infamous 3rd Assault Brigade, revealed part of its subordinate Brigades last week.
Their sector is the Izyum axis and, as was previously reported by Ukrainian press, they replaced Tactical Group "Kreminna" in June.

If you've ever wondered how and why Russia sometimes manages to advance quicker than usual, here's the overview (by yours truly) of the most recent example: the southern Kostyantynivka axis.

As reported in February, the 🇷🇺8th Guards Combined Arms Army was transferred from the Kurakhove axis to the “Toretsk direction”.
It has since become clear that the focus of its 20th Motorized Rifle Division and 68th Tank Regiment lies between Niu-York & Novoleksandrivka.

We have found the first insignia for a subunit of the newly formed 68th Motorized Rifle Division. It likely belongs to its 122nd Motorized Rifle Regiment.
For this Regiment we also managed to figure out its unique Military Unit Number, namely 50333

In March Ukrainian forces attacked Belgorod oblast, capturing the villages of Demidovka and Popovka.
Apparently, more Ukrainian units than initially believed are involved, including several brigades previously in Kursk oblast and soldiers transferred from support branches.

The strength of these defenses, and the difficulty of attacking this ground, allowed Ukraine to underman these areas to shift forces to other areas. That's over. Now you need to begin sacrificing other areas to defend here. Russia cannot, under any circumstance, be allowed to advance here.
