Over the last few weeks, shelling along the entire line of contact has been increasing with occasional probes with mobile forces. One of the changes are the reports of many drones flying over the cities used for spotting of artillery strikes.
Today the UAF forces attacked Marinka, a town just SW of Donetsk. Early reports are that NAF counterattacks have resulted in Markinka being taken and cleared. There are relatively heavy casualties on both sides. The NAF continues to say that Minsk II is in danger of collapse should this kind of behavior continue. As absurd as this would sound in another universe, it is a sign of the firm control of the Kremlin on the political discourse of the Donbass.
My read is that the whole Novorussiya dream is more like a proletarian revolt and this would never be welcomed by the statist Kremlin/Putin.
