    There are some reports (like this) that are saying the town is likely back in Ukrainian control due to the location of Russian bombing/shelling. (This is Telegram info! That comes with its own set of massive caveats.)

        Robotyne is important due to its location, not its population. It sits right in the middle of the southern frontline and a win there is an opportunity for Ukraine to push further south cutting off the western side off of front line that is protected by the Dnipro.
