Lot of noise about Kreminna being next to be liberated. Initial reports of Ukrainian army in the city was debunked, but sounds like it’s mostly confirmed that the city is under fire control and Russian leadership has evacuated.

Looks to be true…

It will be another important victory for Ukraine. It remains to be seen what effects it will have on the Russian GLOCs. It will have some, but probably not enough to really change things in Luhansk Oblast. The Russians once again appear to be retreating in "good order", which means they will mostly live to fight again. The slog will continue, but Ukraine will be closer to Sievierodonetsk and Lysychansk, both geographically and militarily. For Ukraine, these are important political targets and their revanche en la patrie would make Russia look even more incompetent. However, just like when Russia captured these cities, it didn't/won't much change the war.
