📍 FRONT-LINE UPDATE -🗺️ MAP LEGEND
Northeast Front: Kupyansk to Svatove to Kreminna
- Both pro-Russian and pro-Ukrainian mappers agree the Ukrainians have pushed back west of Lyman Pershyi
- Russian claims of capturing Ukrainian strongholds near Vilshana and seizing initiative in the Kupyansk direction
- Mandatory evacuations announced for civilians in 53 settlements in the Kupyansk region due to intensified Russian shelling
- Geolocated footage indicates Russian forces advanced south of Kreminna
Bakhmut Area
- Russians made some small gains around Klishchiivka but were largely pushed back to the railway line
- Fighting continues in the northern suburbs of Bakhmut city
- Both sides have likely suffered significant losses of troops and equipment in the area over the past month
Avdiivka-Donetsk Line
Russian forces continued attacks but did not make any claimed or confirmed advances. Ukrainians made some limited ground attacks.

Southern Donetsk - Velyka Novosilka Area
- Ukrainians made advances in the Staromaiorske-Velyka Novosilka salient, attacking Urozhaine from multiple directions
- Footage shows Ukrainians in the centre of Urozhaine, close to the Mokri Yaly River
- Claims of a JDAM strike by Ukraine in Urozhaine, bringing guided munitions to bear
- Russians shelling Ukrainian soldiers in Urozhaine so still contesting the area
Zaporizhzhia - Robotyne Area
- Ukrainians finally making more significant gains around Robotyne, fighting now taking place in the town itself
- Ukrainians pushing Russians back through Robotyne according to pro-Ukrainian mapping
- If Robotyne falls it could cause some Russian defensive lines to collapse, but many more defensive lines remain between there and Tokmak
- Attacking towards Tokmak is very difficult due to layered Russian defences
Kherson
Not much new information. Claims of Ukrainians trying to encircle Kozachi Laheri and get a foothold by Hola Prystan but no confirmation. A lot of operational security around Ukrainian activities in this area.

Wrap Up
Another day of mixed results up and down the front line. Russians pressuring in some areas while losing ground in others. Debatable whether Russian attacks in the north are an effective distraction or poor use of limited troops. Ukraine likely has more reserves to draw upon without pulling from counter-offensive forces.
