📍 FRONT-LINE UPDATE -🗺️ MAP LEGEND
Activity on Ukraine-Russia Border near Kharkiv
- The Freedom Russia Legion, a group of Russian volunteers fighting for Ukraine, crossed into Russia from Ukraine and are involved in heavy battles against the Russian army in the villages of Novaya Tavolzhanka and Shevkino in the Belgorod region.
- Geolocated footage shows a Kamaz truck with ammunition and a self-propelled mortar being destroyed by the group.
- The Russians also attempted to infiltrate Ukrainian lines near Zelensky, northeast of Kharkiv city.
Kupyansk-Svatove-Kreminna Front Line
- Russian troops made some territorial gains north of Bilohorivka but this has since been reversed by a Ukrainian counterattack.
- Fighting continues around Kupyansk, south of Masyutivka, towards Synkivka.
- The ISW reported 13 clashes in the Kupyansk-Kreminna directions, a slight uptick from the previous week but still a small amount of activity compared to earlier in the war.
Bakhmut
- Geolocated footage shows the irregular formation "First World Sabotage and Reconnaissance Brigade", previously active in the Avdiivka area, is now operating near Zaliznyanske, north of Bakhmut. This supports ISW's assessment that Russian forces are transferring irregular forces from Avdiivka to Bakhmut.
- Ukrainian artillery is targeting buildings where Russian soldiers are entrenched. Defmon says Ukrainian forces are now "shooting fish in the Bakhmut barrel" as the Russians are confined to the city.
- The southwestern outskirts of Bakhmut and entrance to the city reportedly remain under Ukrainian control according to the Deputy Defence Minister.
- A Russian milblogger claimed capturing Klishchiivka would set conditions to advance towards Kramatorsk, which Jonathan finds laughable given the many other towns and villages in between.
Avdiivka, Marinka and Vuhledar
- In Avdiivka, fierce fighting is taking place on both the northern and southern flanks. A Ukrainian Special Forces unit destroyed a Russian T-62 tank with an NLAW.
- In Marinka, positional fighting continues near Druzhby Avenue. Ukrainians attempt counterattacks which are countered by Russian artillery.
- From Novomykhailivka to Volodymyrivka near Vuhledar, Ukrainian counterattacks have pushed back the Russians. This is being done with existing reserves rather than newly trained soldiers and equipment, allowing offensive capability to remain intact.
Southern Ukraine
- Russian forces are replacing old and worn equipment, including tanks and air defenses, in southern Ukraine. Equipment is being moved from Mariupol to Manhush and Berdyansk out of fear of Ukrainian strikes.
- The Russian MoD claimed Russian forces destroyed the final Romanian-Ukrainian warship in Odesa port. Ukraine's Southern Operational Command reported Russian drone strikes caused a fire at port infrastructure but did not mention the warship. The claim is unconfirmed.

🤖❓ AI Debrief (post task) - anything the AI didn't understand
The location of Zelensky near Kharkiv where the Russians attempted to infiltrate Ukrainian lines is unclear.
It is uncertain whether the Ukrainian gains near Velyka Novosilka and Vuhledar occurred in the last 24 hours or over the past few days.
