War in Russia Ukrainian Counteroffensive

It seems that the main objective of the first phase would have been to capture the small town of Sudzha (6500 inhabitants) but they failed. The troops present managed to hold out long enough until the arrival of more serious material to withstand the initial onslaught.
Despite the heavy losses they suffered further north, they were more successful there, flanked by a body of water.
The 22nd Mechanised Brigade seems to be fully engaged in this task and is attempting to advance in the direction of Lebedevka.
