Russia is reconquering the corridor in northern Kharkov, that it held in the first few months of the war, and in the next couple of days, will finally conclude the full capture of the very first oblast since the start of the war. One of the only real disappointments, is how slow the Sumy advance has been. By the time the battle for Lyman is over, in ~4 months, going by the timeline shown up to now, Russia will have entered the last key city in the Donbass, which should take 2 to 3 months to clear, which means Donbass will be fully under Russian control in around 6-8 months. Anyways, out of the predictions I had for this year, about only 40% came true.
