Russian Forces Advance: 1.50 km²

Advance = 1.50km2

Following the capture of Klishchiivka yesterday, Ukrainian forces were forced to pull back from their positions south of the village, allowing Russia to capture Andriivka. To temper the claims of great success by Russian forces here: Andriivka had not been controlled by either side for months, with Russia holding positions along the railway line to the east, and Ukraine unable to take control due to a lack of cover in the village. With Ukraine withdrawing, capturing Andriivka was a simple matter of walking in and taking up positions in the ruins.
Russian Forces Advance: 0.14 km²

Advance = 0.14km2

Clashes continue in and around Chasiv Yar, with Russian forces taking control over more of the microdistrict and northern forest area. Russia is also trying to push towards the canal in the north at Kalinina, however the outcome of these battles is currently unclear. Ukraine still maintains some presence in the microdistrict, but is slowly being forced out.
Russian Forces Advance: 0.25 km²

Advance = 0.25km2

Russian forces managed to capture the remaining buildings on the western edge of Krasnogorivka. Clashes still continue in the centre of the town, but never side has come out on top yet.
Russian Forces Advance: 4.65 km²

Left Advance = 1.70km2, Right Advance = 2.95km2

Russia had some success in advances in the Siversk front, taking over some positions south of Ivan-Darivka and to the east of Rozdolivka. The push north is likely being done to cut off Spirne (blue rightmost dot) from supplies, whilst the advance west is being conducted in order capture the trenches that sit on the hills northeast of Rozdolivka (main defensive position in this area).
Russian Forces Advance: 0.99 km²

Left Advance = 0.46km2, Right Advance = 0.53km20.99

Following a Russian motorised assault that can be seen here, Russian forces were able to take control of more of Staromaiorske, currently occupying about 40% of the town. Further west, Russia was able to take over more of the fields, with their troops beginning to encroach of Ukrainian supply lines to the town.
Russian Forces Advance: 0.71 km²

Top Advance = 0.15km2, Bottom Advance = 0.56km2

Russian forces had some success in their recent assault into Paraskoviivka, taking over the centre of the village. Ukrainian forces are still present on the western edge of Paraskoviivka, but will likely not be able to hold their positions long if assaults continue.

Further south, Russia take another section of the fields, getting closer to the Ukrainian supply route of the O0532 road.
Ukrainian Forces Advance: 0.65 km²

Advance = 0.65km2

Recent geolocated footage has shown Ukraine is still present in northern Vovchansk, despite claims of full Russian control and by Ukraine of them pulling their forces out. Russian forces are currently trying to capture this area and push Ukraine back across the river, however it is unclear how many Ukrainian soldiers still occupy that area of the town. This is a correction more than an advance.
Ukrainian Forces Advance: 0.16 km²

Advance = 0.16km2

Ukrainian forces made another small advance north of Bilohorivka, capturing some of their previous positions. Fighting continues in the ruins of the town itself, but has been relatively minor here to the north.
Russian Forces Advance: 1.35 km²

Advance = 1.35km2

Russian forces made another small advance north of Verbove, taking over more fields. Progress continues to be slow, but Russia is getting closer to fully recapturing the salient, almost certainly by the end of this year.
Russian Forces Advance: 0.59 km²

Advance = 0.59km2

Russian forces captured the remainder of Umanske, following Ukrainian withdrawal from this area. Russia will likely expand its control of the surrounding fields in the coming days, however will be limited in how far it can go due to the small streams and reservoir to the west and north.
