It doesn’t seem the attack has made much headway anywhere other than the north near Kharkiv.

The Russians are using the Oskil River as a defensive line. It’s a formidable position especially since the fall rains have started. However, the Ukrainians have established 3 bridgeheads over it and are steadily pushing the Russians back and 10 km per day. Lyman which is the key geographical terrain feature and road and rail check point is the western and northern parts of the Donbas so the Russians are actually fighting for it. The Ukrainians have almost encircled it and should finish encircling it soon. They are making slow and steady progress, but geography and the weather is slowing them.
