Between them there is a not too dense network of roads, little rivers and almost only flat terrain which should be dry. So supplies to the west should be possible.

Donezk and Makiivka form a large urban hub. The recent 'pincer' offensive obviously bypassed this densly settled area and hit in far more open terrain.



As usual one should be quite careful with those maps, taking fog of war and party interests in mind.
Shchors/firn---

Here is a perfect example for the Ukrainian crowd-sourcing going on for those UA troops that have been holding the border areas and getting shelled by the mercenaries as well as the Russian 3-5 times daily.

Raised funding goes for food, supplies and other needs of the airborne, SF and other units in that pocket that have surprisingly been holding on well.

firn---probably a new updated battlefield position map as well is in the article.
