In the Lyman direction, Russian forces continued their offensive towards the city and have made progress in four different areas.

In the southeast, under heavy artillery and FPV drone cover, Russian forces continued to advance west through the forested gulley and have captured new trenches. They also established control over new positions in the forests to the north and are approaching the rear of the main Ukrainian strongpoint in the agricultural complex. Ukrainian forces are counterattacking in the forested gulley, slowing down the Russian advance. The Ukrainians are also continuing their attempts at recapturing the agricultural complex within the village limits of Zarichne, but have so far been unsuccessful.

Further north, Russian forces continued their assault operations south of Kolodyazi, and have completed the capture of two parallel treelines. From there, they entered the adjacent gulley, and secured positions in the forest plantations, further isolating the Ukrainian pocket in and around the village of Myrne. Additionally, the Russians were able to clear the trench strongpoint at the intersection of two treelines, which Ukrainian forces infiltrated earlier.

To the west, Russian forces advanced down two treelines towards the road northeast of Stavky. Additional forces have also managed to complete the capture of the Ukrainian strongpoints in the forested gulley northeast of Drobysheve, while other assault groups cleared the two treelines on the tactical heights to the northwest. From there, the Russians pushed southwest down a treeline and a nearby gulley and established control over positions on the Drobysheve - Zarichne Road.

Explosions were just heard in the area of Boryspil, Kyiv Oblast, after 2 Russian Geran-3 jet drones attacked the region.

In the Borova direction, Russian forces resumed their assault operations along the eastern bank of the Oskil river, and have made progress in the village of Zahryzove.

Russian forces advanced south from their positions in the northernmost part of Zahryzove, crossing a tributary of the Oskil River, and establishing control over new positions towards the centre of the village. They then went on to push further south through the residential areas, capturing the centre of the village, and reaching the southern streets, where fighting is now ongoing.

Other forces advanced south from the forests southwest of Kruhlyakivka, crossing over the railway bridge, and establishing control over the forests to the south in the area of the railway tracks. These attacks largely aligned the front with the assault groups in central Zahryzove, although consolidation is ongoing.

+ ~3.29 km² in favour of Russia.

In the Kupyansk direction, Russian forces resumed their assault operations northwest of Stepova Novosilka, and have captured new trench positions.

Following the capture of a substantial amount of ground west and northwest of Stepova Novosilka last month, Russian forces have now begun attacking towards the southeastern edge of Petropavlivka. They advanced west from their newly established positions in the treelines, capturing a forested area. From there they entered the treeline to the west, securing trench positions.

To the south, the Russians advanced from the treeline positions just north of the highway, and established control over a new trench line, thereby securing the southern flank of the captured positions to the north.

+ ~0.98 km² in favour of Russia.

In the Khotin direction, both Russian and Ukrainian forces are carrying out assault operations, with Russian forces making progress towards the village of Varachyne.

Once the situation in and around Novomykolaivka had stabilised, Russian forces began launching a series of counterattacks. They were able to advance southwest down a treeline along the tactical heights, resecuring the road into Oleksiivka, allowing for limited ground supply into the village to return for the Russian garrison stuck there.

Russian forces were also able to consolidate in the southeastern houses of Novomykolaivka, and began advancing along the tactical heights towards Varachyne from the northwest. They entered the treelines on its northwestern approaches, which were used to infiltrate the village, which is now in the grey zone. The Russians were also able to capture the treelines northeast of Varachyne.

Meanwhile, Ukrainian forces continued their assault operations towards Oleksiivka, and have managed to consolidate in the agricultural buildings on its western outskirts. Attempts are now underway to enter the residential part of the village from the west. These attacks are being carried out under heavy FPV drone and artillery cover, which is resulting in heavy casualties for the Russian garrison in Oleksiivka, but due to the road being open for limited ground movement again, rotations can now be carried out to some extent. Ukrainian casualties in these attacks are also high, as the vast majority of them are being repelled.

+ ~7.91 km² in favour of Russia.
+ ~0.16 km² in favour of Ukraine.

New rule for the Channel's group chat: All fascists will be perm muted, no exceptions. Fascism is not welcome here, unlike many other chats.

If you don't like that, you're the problem.

It's genuinely scary how quickly so many ordinary people have been radicalised by egotistical idiots like Nick Fuentes, and sigma edits on Tik Tok, and how normalised its become in online spaces.

I'm generally very acceptive of almost all political opinions, but some things need to have strong measures put against.

Reports suggest that a Ukrainian Patriot missile was fired at the Russian Su-34 that bombed Kharkiv City.

The missile was launched towards the jet's path in Voroenzh Oblast, but it managed to dodge it, flying supersonic speeds over the northern outskirts of Voronezh City. This resulted in a sonic boom being heard from across the city.

Russian aviation continues to heavily strike the eastern suburbs of Kostyantynivka in preparation for Russian assault units to enter the city.
