Russian forces have captured the village of Novoselivka, Lyman direction, Donetsk Oblast.

Pre-war population: ~1,390.
Total land area: ~3.06 km².

The Ukrainian Navy published footage showing a drone-dropped explosive targeting a Russian position in the first houses of Myrnohrad.

This is one of the many strikes I was referring to in this post, where the Ukrainians are striking every occupied building one after another to eliminate the Russian presence in the city. This is also another example of Ukraine's critical manpower shortages preventing them from putting up significant resistance on the ground.

Russian forces have captured the village of Novomykolaivka, Hulyaipole direction, Zaporizhzhia Oblast.

Pre-war population: ~457.
Total land area: ~1.43 km².

Russian forces have captured the village of Balahan, Pokrovsk direction, Donetsk Oblast.

Pre-war population: ~35.
Total land area: ~0.50 km².

Earlier, a Russian Grom-E1 rocket-powered glide-bomb impacted the outskirts of Poltava City for the first time. The target is unknown, and no media has been published of the strike. The flight length was more than 165 km.

In the Novopavlivka direction, Russian forces have made significant progress over the past 5 days and are close to eliminating the Ukrainian salient south of Novopavlivka.

In the west, Russian forces continued to expand around the village of Filiya, and were able to collapse the Ukrainian defence northwest of Dachne by securing the treelines and then forcing the AFU to withdraw from their fortified positions in the forest. They also improved their positions to the north, capturing new treeline positions and establishing control over a gulley from the south, now coming within 1.5 km of the southern outskirts of Novopavlivka.

In the east, Russian forces continued to clear areas near the Donetsk - Dnipropetrovsk Regional Border. They captured Ukrainian positions in the treelines on the tactical heights north of Novoukrainka, before crossing over the border into the treelines northeast of Dachne, further pressuring the Ukrainian formations in the area of the highway.

To the north, the Russians began retaking previously lost positions around Horikhove. They pushed west from the outskirts of Horikhove to the forested areas along the regional border and began clearing treelines on the tactical heights north of the village, crossing over into Dnipropetrovsk Oblast here too.

+ ~23.68 km² in favour of Russia.

On the western flank of Pokrovsk, Russian forces resumed their assault operations along the Donetsk - Dnipropetrovsk Regional Border in Molodetske, and have secured important positions south of the railway line.

After accumulating infantry, Russian forces advanced from their foothold in the southern houses of Molodetske, moving north to the railway tracks. They established full control over the village and the parallel treeline to the west and were able to secure positions in the southern railway windbreak. Other forces attacked north up a treeline towards the eastern outskirts of Molodetske, where they too reached the railway line, capturing its southern windbreak. This linked them up with formations west of Udachne, forming a unified front against the western flank of the Pokrovsk Coal Mine on the highest point of the tactical heights.

+ ~1.15 km² in favour of Russia.

In the Pokrovsk direction, Russian forces continued their offensive in Pokrovsk and have made additional progress south of the railway line.

After securing positions in the Hospital District and the southern part of the Prospecta District, Russian forces began pushing further north. They were able to consolidate in at least 5 more blocks of the Prospecta District and continued to advance north and northwest through the Sobachivka District.

Meanwhile, infiltrations continue towards the railway line. Russian soldiers and DRGs are operating in all parts of the city south of the tracks, including at the railway station in the city centre, and the highway overpass in the east suburbs. They are also infiltrating deeper into the northwestern industrial zone, where the grey zone now extends beyond the city limits in the direction of Hryshyne. No consolidation has occurred north of the railway line yet.

+ ~0.61 km² in favour of Russia.

Permanent ceasefire, am I right?

All those naive people when the war and genocide starts again will be so confused why the "peace president" couldn't stop it.

It's almost as if Trump's plan was terribly laid out and had very few guarantees for Hamas (let alone the other Palestinian factions and movements in Gaza).

I honestly think the goal was to make a peace plan that was borderline acceptable for Hamas, but just slightly too far outside of what they could feasibly agree too, in order to portray them as unwilling to end the war and rebuild some justification for the IDF to continue their operations.

Hamas actually accepting the deal surprised the US and Israel, so now they are relying on ceasefire violations to slowly swing back to a fighting stance.

In the Pokrovsk direction, Russian forces continued to advance towards Myrnohrad from the east and have made further progress inside the city limits.

In the north, after establishing control over the Kapitalna Mine, Russian forces advanced down the highway to the industrial zone on the outskirts of Myrnohrad, establishing control over it. Using this to accumulate additional infantry, Russian forces broke into the northeastern suburbs of Myrnohrad, establishing control over Travnya 1 Street. Ukrainian forces withdrew from the area and are now repeating their strategy employed with the other Russian breach into the city, with striking every occupied house in an attempt to prevent consolidation and further accumulation of soldiers. In addition to this advance, the Russians were able to establish full control over the wastewater treatment plant and the surrounding areas.

To the south, after entering southeastern Myrnohrad and widening the breach in Ukrainian defences, Russian forces began attacking north into the village of Balahan. They entered the southern dachas, and pushed up into the main residential area, linking up with their formations in the forests to the east.

To the southwest, despite extensive Ukrainian FPV drone strikes, the Russians were able to consolidate further in the first houses of Myrnohrad, accumulating additional infantry for further attacks. They pushed further west down Stritenska and Syerova Streets and entered the eastern houses of Razina Street. As a result of these attacks, Russia has now secured a 1.3 km-long residential stretch of Myrnohrad, and is within 500 metres of the first high-rise residential buildings.

+ ~2.86 km² in favour of Russia.
