I expect that the summer offensive season will kick off with a local counterattack in the Bakhmut sector. Feels as if Ukraine has been executing a phased retreat to the higher ground in the western quarter in hopes of trapping Russian forces in the center of the city.
Any thoughts on the alleged Ukrainian attempt to retake Enerhodar last autumn? Supposedly they tried to cross the river with several companies but were forced back. Is this the sort of op Ukraine runs with marine units, or is their designation totally arbitrary?

Very informative.
Just a note: the title of the update is "Situational report 3 April – 9 April 2023"
Thanks! Changed.
