In the Pokrovsk direction, both Russian and Ukrainian forces have advanced, each securing different parts of the city.
Over the last couple of weeks, Ukrainian forces were able to push the Russians out of the western part of the Durniak District, securing positions as far south as Tsentralna Street. Russian forces maintain control of the residential areas immediately north of the E-50 Highway.
Additionally, Ukrainian forces advanced in the Pervomaika District of Pokrovsk, pushing southwest from the city centre and the northeastern part of the district, clearing the local school and several surrounding residential blocks which the Russians previously infiltrated.
On the otherhand, Russian forces continued their operations in the eastern part of Durniak District. They captured most of the industrial zone west of the E-50 highway, as well as some positions in the adjacent residential streets which they are now using to infiltrate the western part of Pervomaika District.
Further east, Russian forces recaptured some positions in the Market District. They advanced along the E-50 highway and the parallel streets, securing positions in the residential areas.
+ ~0.59 km² in favour of Ukraine.
+ ~0.23 km² in favour of Russia.

In the Pokrovsk direction, Russian forces continued to advance towards Myrnohrad, and have entered the first houses of the city.
After securing the forests northeastern of Balahan, Russian forces began advancing through the treelines towards Kozatske, before entering and establishing control over the northern part of the village. They then crossed the Sinna River, entering and securing the first houses of Myrnohrad on Stritenska and Syedova Streets. Ukrainian forces responded by withdrawing for a few hundred metres, and striking each individual house not under their control with multiple FPV drones, attempting to kill all the Russian soldiers who entered the village.
Additionally, Russian forces were able to capture new positions in the treelines and forest plantations west and northwest of Hrodivka after Ukrainian forces withdrew to the village of Promin.
+ ~9.24 km² in favour of Russia.

In the Dobropillya direction, Russian forces continued to advance in the Shakhove salient and have made additional progress towards the village of Shakhove.
Russian forces were able to consolidate in the western-most point of the forest plantations north of the Novyy Reservoir after their earlier mechanised assaults, threatening Ukrainian logistics into Volodymyrivka. They were also able to make further progress to the north, capturing two treelines, and gaining a foothold in the forest plantations on the southeastern approaches to Shakhove.
Meanwhile, despite widespread reports, Volodymyrivka is not under Russian control. The Russians control the southern part of the village, and have not properly consolidated in the centre due to constant Ukrainian drone strikes. After the Russians broke into Volodymyrivka, Ukraine resorted to covering almost the entire village with FPV drones and artillery, striking anything that moves, which resulted in much of the initial Russian assault groups being killed or wounded. Additional reinforcements have managed to enter the village, and new attacks are now underway towards the northern streets. Ukrainian forces currently control a single street in the north of the village, which is constantly being hit by Russian FPV drones. Ukrainian movement to and from these positions is incredibly difficult.
Additionally, Russian forces are continuing their assault operations towards the Ukrainian strongpoints in the forested gulley east of Sofiivka, but are still having no success due to constant Ukrainian drone and artillery strikes.
+ ~3.16 km² in favour of Russia.

In the Kostyantynivka direction, Russian forces continued to advance towards the city from the southeast and have secured new positions on the tactical heights.
Following repeated attempts at infiltrating and establishing themselves here, Russian forces were able to consolidate in positions further along the railway line, and in the treelines to the southwest. All of these positions are on the tactical heights, allowing for the Russians to increase their presence above Ivanopillya from the east.
Additionally, due to repeated Ukrainian FPV drone and mortar strikes, and a lack of stable supply, Russian forces withdrew from most of the dachas southeast of Kostyantynivka. They do, however, maintain control over a small section of them in the east. The rest are currently situated in the grey zone, while Russia continuously and heavily bombards eastern Kostyantynivka with FAB glide-bombs, artillery, MLRS, mortars, and FPV drones.
+ ~4.93 km² in favour of Russia.

In the Lyman direction, Russian forces continued to advance towards the Siverskyi Donets River from the northeast and have made significant progress in five different areas.
In the east, Russian forces continued to clear positions west of Stavky, and have advanced from the newly captured strongpoints in the forested gulley, down two parallel treelines on the tactical heights towards the Drobysheve - Zarichne Road.
To the west, the Russians began their attacks into Drobysheve. They made further progress in the forest northwest of the town, before Russian soldiers on motorbikes advanced down the road from Shandryholove, and entered the town. Positions were captured in the outermost buildings, and fighting is ongoing in the grey-zone further south. Additionally, Russian forces continued attacking from the Derylove area, where they were able to capture positions in three separate treelines on the tactical heights overlooking Drobysheve. Fighting is now underway for the agricultural buildings on the outskirts of the town.
Further west, Russian forces were able to cross the Nitrius River from the Drobysheve Fish Farm into Novoselivka. They established a foothold in the houses on Tsentralna Street and Ukrayinska Street, before pushing northwest towards the western part of the village. Other forces advanced north towards the centre of the village where they are attempting to squeeze the Ukrainians out from multiple directions. Heavy fighting continues here.
To the north, Russian forces managed to break through Ukrainian positions in the forests northwest of Novoselivka under heavy FAB, artillery, and drone cover, establishing control over additional positions there. They then went on to advance south, cutting the Novoselivka - Oleksandrivka road at the graveyard, while capturing further forested positions down the road to the northwest. Additionally, Russian FPV drone strikes on Ukrainian logistics and bridges has increased in intensity in this sector, complicating supply to critical parts of the frontline like Novoselivka.
In the north, Russian forces advance from their positions west of Shandryholove, into the forested gulley to the west, establishing full control over it. Additional positions were captured in the treeline to the northwest.
+ ~5.46 km² in favour of Russia.

In the Kupyansk direction, Russian forces continued their assault operations east of the Oskil River and have made new progress along the tactical heights towards the village of Pishchane.
Following the Ukrainian infiltration attempts into Stepova Novosilka and its surroundings last month, Russian forces began attempting to regain lost territory in this direction. Recently, they were able to recapture the trench strongpoints in the area of the destroyed railway overpass. From there the Russians advanced further west down the railway windbreaks, seizing further trench positions there and along the highway to the north.
+ ~2.78 km² in favour of Russia.

In the Kupyansk direction, both Russian and Ukrainian forces have advanced, with Ukrainian forces beginning attempts to cut off the Russians in Kupyansk City from the north.
Ukrainian forces advanced from their positions along the railway line, down a perpendicular treeline, and into two forested areas where they established control over new positions. Russian soldiers holding these areas hadn't properly consolidated, which made clearing them easier for the AFU. With this, Russian supply into Kupyansk is now constricted into a 2.4 km wide corridor.
Meanwhile, in Kupyansk itself, the Russians continued to advance. Following the withdrawal of most Ukrainian units in the north and centre of the city, Russian forces began advancing east on a wide front, clearing new residential areas, and entering the small industrial zone next to the railway line.
Additionally, Russian forces advanced in the southwestern suburbs of the city. They cleared additional parts of the low-rise residential areas, and entered the Yuvileynyi Microdistrict from the north, capturing at least six 5-story buildings. Other forces began attacking the western buidings of the microdistrict, increasing the grey zone slightly.

In the Khotin direction, both Russian and Ukrainian forces are advancing, each taking new positions in and around the village of Oleksiivka.
After a series of assault operations were carried out, Ukrainian forces were able to enter the southern houses of Oleksiivka, and consolidate in the treeline to the southwest. Due to the earlier threat from the Ukrainian positions in the agricultural buildings on the western outskirts of the village, the Russians withdrew from the south and part of the centre of the settlement, allowing for the Ukrainians to advance further north and consolidate in new positions.
Since then, the Russians have continued their advance to the northwest, taking control over new positions in the gulley directly west of Oleksiivka. These advances forced the Ukrainians to withdraw from the agricultural buildings, back into the village of Andriivka.
