📍 FRONT-LINE UPDATE -🗺️ MAP LEGEND
Svatove to Kreminna
- Russian forces made marginal advances north of Novoselivka, between Svatove and Kupyansk, according to geolocated footage.
- A Ukrainian reconnaissance drone spotted a Russian assault platoon near the Ukrainian front lines in the grey zone.
- Russian forces are attempting to capture positions in the Kupyansk direction to launch future offensive operations, according to Ukrainian Deputy Defence Minister Malyar.
- Russian forces conducted a 24-hour tactical pause in the Kreminna area.
Bilohorivka
- There is disagreement between pro-Russian and pro-Ukrainian mappers regarding the control of a filtration plant in Bilohorivka.
- Geolocated footage previously showed Russian activity in the area, but it appears to be a place that changes hands frequently.
Bakhmut
- Wagner forces are handing over positions in Bakhmut to the Russian Ministry of Defence and withdrawing from the city, according to Russian sources.
- Prigozhin, the head of Wagner, claimed that the group lost 20,000 troops (10,000 regular mercenaries and 10,000 convicts) in Bakhmut, which is likely a significant undercount according to analysts.
- Ukrainian forces conducted successful counterattacks on Bakhmut's flanks, particularly near Orikove-Vasilivka and Klishchiivka, causing some Russian forces to retreat.
- Russian forces are attempting to strengthen their positions on the flanks of Bakhmut to avoid being outflanked and encircled.
- The tempo of Russian offensive operations around Bakhmut continues to decrease.
Avdiivka and Kalivka Dam
- Russian forces used chemical weapons in the Avdiivka area, according to the Ukrainian Border Guard Service, but the type was not specified.
- Russian forces destroyed the Kalivka dam west of Avdiivka with an S-300 missile, causing significant flooding downstream.
- The destruction of the dam threatens to flood areas near Halistynivka and Zhelane, potentially impacting Ukrainian logistics in the area, particularly in Kurakove, a major hub.
- However, a prominent Russian military blogger claimed that the flooding will not cause critical damage to Ukrainian logistics.
Southern Ukraine
- Russian forces continued to conduct airstrikes on Ukrainian positions in the Kherson and Zaporizhzhia regions using FAB and KAB-500 bombs.
- Ukrainian forces are targeting Russian positions behind the lines in places like Mariupol, Berdyansk, Melitopol, Tokmak, and Volnovakha on a consistent basis.
