Didn’t you say that Robotyne was taken by the Ukrainians 3 or 4 days ago?
Yes. It was. This just means that the big attack is happening in that area.
It looks like Ukraine is having some success too. Reports are that the Russians are pulling out of Novoprokopivka. Novoprokopivka is the next village on the T0408 highway towards Tokmak.
If the reports are true that Russia is pulling out of Novoprokopivka that means there is going to be a big hole in one of 2 main defensive lines between the UAF and the outskirts of Tokmak. It also looks like once the UAF clears Novoprokopivka that the minefields thin out significantly.

There is unconfirmed reports of Ukrainian forces entering the town of Novoprokopivka.
Damn the crazy Ukies are moving fast if those reports are true. If those reports are true they have advanced 3 km in the last few hours.
ETA2: Per X, the 82nd Air Assault Brigade is leading the assault and that they have recently been equipped with Challenger tanks, and Marder IFVs. Looks like Ukraine means business.

It's confusing, because Novoprokopivka is due south of Robotyne, and yet, other reports say that Ukraine is assaulting in the direction of Verbove, which is to the east-southeast of Robotyne (which is what I assumed in my map earlier, and Big Serge did as well).
EDIT:
An attack to the southeast of Robotyne would necessarily mean trying to breach the Russian 2nd line. If they are simply moving south to Novoprokopivka, though, then the Russian 2nd line is still a good bit away.
The Russian defense is composed of three fortified lines. Everything that I read months ago indicated that the 2nd line was the strongest and best. Breaking it is the biggest challenge for Ukraine.
