📍 FRONT-LINE UPDATE -🗺️ MAP LEGEND

Northeast frontline (Kupyansk to Svatove to Kreminna)

  • Russian claims of advances near Sinkivka are not well evidenced
  • Heavy fighting continues around Novohryhorivka with Russians using convict recruits and private military companies
  • Russians aim to reach Borova on the Oskil river to create a buffer for Luhansk Oblast, but Jonathan believes this is too ambitious
  • Russians are deploying newly formed brigades/divisions to resume offensives, but this is unconfirmed

Bakhmut

  • Fighting continues north of Bakhmut near the M03/E40 highway and south between Klishchiivka and Kurdyumivka
  • Conflicting reports on whether Andriyivka and Kurdyumivka have been liberated by Ukraine. Latest unconfirmed claims suggest Andriyivka is under Ukrainian control and Russians have retreated from Klishchiivka.
  • Russian attacks around Bakhmut are likely aimed at distracting and breaking up Ukrainian forces rather than taking the city itself

Donetsk and Southern Donetsk frontline

  • Ukrainians have made gains around Opytne, pushing back a Russian salient
  • Avdiivka remains a site of intense attritional fighting
  • Russians appear to have made significant advances in Marinka over the last few days, likely forcing Ukrainians to retreat to the town center

Zaporizhzhia frontline (Robotyne)

Limited information on Ukrainian progress in Robotyne and Novopokrovka. The area features some of the heaviest fighting and defensive fortifications. Jonathan notes that even troops with low morale will still defend their positions fiercely in the heat of battle. A Russian source claims Russia is committing all available reserves to hold this part of the frontline.

Kherson frontline

  • Ukraine inflicting significant losses on Russian personnel and equipment through counter-battery fire
  • Russians forced to bring in reserves from Crimea due to insufficient troops to hold the frontline along the Dnipro river
  • Concerns that Ukrainians could conduct raids across dried parts of the riverbed using mobile off-road vehicles
  • Ongoing fighting reported on islands in the Dnipro river delta near Novovoznesenske and opposite Novokakhovka
