📍 FRONT-LINE UPDATE -🗺️ MAP LEGEND
Frontline Overview
- The frontline map shows mainly red pins, suggesting a change from a Ukrainian counter-offensive to a period of stasis with Russians pressuring in some areas.
- The UK MOD reports that the balance of land combat generally favours the defending force. Factors include Russia's well-prepared defensive positions, strong Ukrainian defences, lack of effective air support, and the large geographic size of the conflict.
Kupyansk to Kreminna Frontline
Geolocated footage indicates Russian forces have advanced west of Ulyanka. This supports the mapping from both pro-Russian and pro-Ukrainian sources.

Bakhmut Area
- The Russians have made gains north of Bakhmut near the Bakivka reservoir according to all mappers.
- Geolocated footage shows Ukrainian forces have advanced northeast of the railway line in Klishchiivka.
- A Russian milblogger claims Russian units in Bakhmut are coordinating more effectively and suffering lower manpower losses compared to earlier in the Ukrainian counter-offensive. This implies the Russians were taking heavy casualties in the recent past.
Avdiivka
- There are concerns for the Ukrainians in Avdiivka as the Russians appear to be moving across the railway line near Krasnohorivka towards Stepova.
- Ukrainian journalist Yuri Butusov called the situation in Avdiivka a "crisis" and said there was a critical situation as Russian forces assaulted across the railway line.
- If the Russians capture the Avdiivka Coke plant, it could lead to a gradual but irreversible build-up of defence and capture of the city.
- Butusov suggests stabilising defences north of Avdiivka, unifying the command of troops in the area under the 110th Mechanized Brigade, and replacing units unable to build defences with more experienced ones.
Vuhledar
- The Russians have repeatedly tried and failed to attack towards Vuhledar, suffering heavy equipment losses each time.
- The area is heavily mined by Ukrainians and they have good visibility from heights in Vuhledar to spot and target Russian vehicles with ATGMs and artillery.
- In the latest failed assault, the Russians reportedly lost 18 pieces of equipment including 8 tanks and 3 MTLBs near Mykilske.
Velyka Novosilka to Orikhiv
There are no significant changes reported in this area. The ISW notes no change around Velyka Novosilka. Some Russian sources claim Ukrainians advanced west of Pavlivka but this is not confirmed.

- Geolocated footage shows multiple Russian BTRs and civilian vehicles destroyed by Ukrainian drone strikes in and around Krinky and Kosanka.
- The road connecting Russian-held settlements along the Dnipro's left bank has been interdicted by Ukrainians, impacting Russian supply routes.
