Top Advance = 0.15km2, Bottom Advance = 2.47km2

The situation for the first Ukrainian defence line has become critical. Not only has Russia crossed the river to the south of Semenivka, but now it has also managed to cross in the north in Berdychi, occupying the houses. This will allow Russia to assault Ukrainian positions in Semenivka from both the south and the north. Ukraine managed to retain control of the fields next to the river north of Berdychi (blue outline), however this does not stop Russia's advances in the other areas. Russia has also advanced right up to the defence line (the river) in the fields near Tonenke as well, which will enable them to attempt breaching the line in this area too.
Russian Forces Advance: 0.12 km²

Advance = 0.12km2

If you look at the top advance of picture 1, there is a large 'grey zone' area north of Semenivka, which was not there yesterday. This grey zone has appeared as a Ukrainian source posted a video of claimed MLRS shelling of Russia forces, which was geolocated to 1km West of where Russian forces are confirmed to be (picture below). Whether this is evidence of a much further Russian advance than expected, or was Ukrainian sources claiming Russian strikes as their own is yet to be determined, hence the grey zone.

There is not much to say about Bilohorivka. Neither Russia nor Ukraine has many forces in this area, and protracted fighting has been going on here for over a year at this point. Russian advances have been sparse and opportunistic, as Ukraine has occupied very strong positions in the ruins of the town and the surrounding hills.
