"The battles for Avdiivka continue unabated. Russia keeps throwing infantry and armor into the battles almost without a pause."
Hello Team!
- Ukrainian Commander-in-Chief Zaluzhny said in an interview with The Economist that the war is moving to a new stage of "positional war of static and grueling fighting", possibly signalling an end to the current Ukrainian counteroffensive phase
📍 FRONT-LINE UPDATE -🗺️ MAP LEGEND
Kupyansk
- Syriac maps shows some Russian gains north of Sinkivka but no confirmation yet
- Fighting remains intense near Sinkivka, Liman Pershi, Yahidna and Ivanivka but no territorial changes
- Ukrainian 14th Brigade stopped a Russian armoured column near Pershe Travneve, destroying 1 tank and 2 BMPs, damaging 3 tanks and 4 BMPs
Bakhmut
- No confirmed or claimed changes from either side, situation relatively static
Avdiivka
- Geolocated footage shows Russian advances southwest of Krasnohorivka
- Russian bloggers claim advances near the coke plant north of Avdiivka but one criticized "victorious reports" as premature
- Ukraine has reportedly advanced 2km down the Kostyantynivka-Donetsk highway (H20) in a counterattack on the Russian flank from the north
- This threatens Russian supply lines to Krasnohorivka and could force them to divert forces to guard the rear, weakening their offensive on Avdiivka
- A "very nice move by the Ukrainians to further increase pressure and go deep into the Russian lines"
Southern Front
- Situation largely quiet in Vuhledar, Velyka Novosilka and Robotyne areas with no confirmed changes
Kherson

- Up to 30 guided glide bombs per day striking the limited settlements in this area, causing severe damage over time
Strikes

- 2 Russian bases/HQs reportedly struck by Storm Shadow cruise missiles south of Strelkovo in Kherson oblast
