A reminder that these maps are confirming updates from yesterday (i.e. 12 to 24 hours delayed).

Russian Forces Advance: 3.70 km²

Advance = 3.70km2

As mentioned previously, following the capture of the town, Russian forces were likely to increase their control of the surrounding fields, which they have done so today. This advance was completely expected, as after losing control of Netailovo it became incredibly hard for Ukraine to contest this area due to the stream running from the reservoir making resupply difficult.
Russian Forces Advance: 1.75 km²

Top Advance = 0.58km2, Bottom Advance = 1.17km2

Following on from yesterday, Russian forces managed to advance closer to Sokil, now just a few hundred metres away from the outskirts, as well as increasing the buffer north of Umanske.
Russian Forces Advance: 0.10 km²

Advance = 0.10km2

Intense clashes continue in and around Chasiv Yar, with Russia capturing some trenches east of Kalinina (red dot). Whilst both sides continue to fight in the microdistrict, with neither having come out on top yet, Russia is looking to circumvent this area by advancing into Kalinina to cross the canal, similar to what it is trying in the south near Ivanivkse.
Russian Forces Advance: 0.34 km²

Advance = 0.34km2

Russian forces made a small gain along the Kupyansk front, capturing the remainder of the forest area here. Whilst Russia has been more active and making gains along this area of the front, the large scale successes claimed by Russian sources did not eventuate/have not proven to be true.
Ukrainian Forces Advance: 2.48 km²

Advance = 2.48km2

Following the arrival of many Ukrainian reinforcements, Ukrainian forces were able to push Russia back from Lyptsi, recapturing some of the fields. The Lyptsi front has mostly stabilised due to the sheer number of reinforcements Ukraine has deployed, however they now have to deal with the large scale bombing/shelling by Russian artillery and airforce, such as seen in this video.
Russian Forces Advance: 0.49 km²

Advance = 0.49km2

Russian forces continued their advance in Staromaiorske, capturing more of the western side of the town. To give a spoiler for tomorrow's update, recent footage (after this update was posted by Suriyak) has shown Russia now control the eastern half of the town as well.
