THE RUSSIAN GAMBIT, will Ukraine bite? - Ukraine War Quick Update - Siversk Front / Bakhmut Front

Ukrainian forces reenters Berkhivka against, after they renewed their assault on town after getting pushed out by the Russians just days prior. Coupled with success south-east of Rozdolivka / north-west of Yakovlivka, situation looks tenuous for the Russians.

But instead of doubling down on the defense, Russian forces went on an offensive on Spirne. In a north-south pincer, Russian forces forced an Ukrainian retreat from the battered settlement to prevent a potential encirclement.

Would Ukraine continue to push south towards Soledar?

Or would Ukraine take the bait, and pull back to hold the line against a potential Russian break towards Siversk city?
