📍 FRONT-LINE UPDATE -🗺️ MAP LEGEND
Northeast Sector: Kupiansk to Svatove to Kreminna
- Both Russian and Ukrainian forces claim the other side is attempting to improve their tactical positions near Lyman Pershyi. Geolocated footage suggests Russian forces have advanced west of the Balka Zalizniachna.
- Russian forces conducted unsuccessful ground attacks northwest and west of Kreminna, Torske, Terny, and Nevske.
Bakhmut
- The situation in Bakhmut remains difficult for Ukrainian forces, with Russian troops constricting them from the north, south, and east. The highway near Khromove is under threat, which could severely impact Ukrainian supply lines.
- Kenneth Gregg, a Swedish soldier operating in Ukraine, claims that new Russian reinforcements have given them new offensive momentum in Bakhmut. Ukrainian forces have abandoned the railway station and retreated a few blocks to the west.
- Russian forces have made minor advances in the city, but the Ukrainians continue to hold their positions fiercely. Jonathan argues that if the Ukrainians are still defending Bakhmut, they must believe it is the correct decision based on their calculations and available information.
Avdiivka
- Russian forces attempted to rotate their troops on the southeastern edge of Pervomaiske but were caught by Ukrainian soldiers from the 59th Motorized Brigade. In the last two weeks, Ukrainian forces have taken several hundred prisoners of war in the area.
- The ISW reports that geolocated footage indicates Russian forces likely made marginal gains in Marinka.
Zaporizhzhia and Kherson Regions
- Ukrainian forces reportedly captured an unspecified section of the contested front line in Zaporizhzhia Oblast, but there is no visual confirmation.
- Russian sources claim that Ukrainian forces have established a foothold on the east bank of the Dnipro River near the Antonivsky Bridge in the Kherson region. They suggest that Ukrainian troops may be preparing for a serious landing to create one or multiple bridgeheads, potentially to divert Russian attention and set conditions for a future counter-offensive.
