Situation on the Omelnyk & Pokrovs'ke directions, Zaporizhzhia/Dnipropetrovsk Oblasts:
Over the last three weeks, both Russian and Ukrainian forces have continued high-intensity assault operations, each making significant progress in different parts of this sector.
In the southwest, Russian forces established control over the town of Zaliznychne after threatening to outflank it from the west, and cleared the nearby village of Staroukrainka. From here, they began a general push westwards under heavy artillery and MLRS cover, infiltrating the village of Hirke and advancing even further west to the fields north of Huliaipilske. Other assault groups made marginal advances in two areas along the highway northeast of Huliaipilske.
To the north, Russian forces achieved a localised breakthrough, capturing the main part of Verkhnya Tersa after weeks of fighting, and breaking through west to the fields, reaching the eastern outskirts of Kopani and Dolynka, which they are now storming under heavy artillery/MLRS and KAB glide-bomb cover. From there, some assault groups began infiltrating north to the fields east of Rivne, partially isolating a series of Ukrainian strongpoints situated north of Verkhnya Tersa.
At the same time, Russian forces initiated a large-scale assault operation further north, capturing the village of Tsvitkove and a series of fortifications in and around the railway line that runs along the tactical heights. Other assault groups then began intensifying their infiltrations into Vozdyvzhivka, with some soldiers reaching the gulley west of the town.
To the northeast, Ukrainian forces cleared out earlier Russian infiltrations into the treelines west of Radisne, and recaptured the fields east of Kosivtseve. They have since deployed drone operators to these new areas to further tighten fire control over Russian logistics to Hulyaipole.
To the east, after Russian forces withdrew from Zlahoda due to the risk of encirclement, the Ukrainians advanced further south and captured the main part of Rybne. Other assault groups cleared a large portion of the tactical heights to the west of the Yanchur River, allowing them to penetrate south into Solodke and the surrounding fields, which Russia is now heavily bombing with KABs. Russian forces have mostly withdrawn back to Uspenivka to prevent being cut off, but are still fighting for some positions west of Pryvilne.
Further east, Ukrainian forces once again cleared the eastern part of Vyshneve from earlier Russian infiltrations and are now engaged in fighting for the Verbove area, which remains in the grey-zone due to repeated Russian infiltrations. These infiltrations are being supported by a recent small Russian advance in the forest plantations northwest of Novohryhorivka.
Further east, Russian forces counterattacked, clearing the fields south and southwest of Novomykolaivka from earlier Ukrainian infiltrations, before recapturing the rest of the village and treelines to the north. From here, they are attempting to advance into Kalynivske, northwest to Verbove, and north into the Berezove-Stepove area, outflanking Ukrainian positions in Kalynivske from both sides. Meanwhile, Ukrainian assault groups were able to clear the rest of Ternove, recapture treeline positions south of the village, and enter the villages of Novoheorhiivka and Zaporizke.

Situation on the Pokrovs'ke & Komar directions, Donetsk/Dnipropetrovsk Oblast:
Over the last three weeks, Ukrainian forces continued their counterattacks, clearing large parts of the grey-zone and breaking through into the Russian tactical rear.
In the southwest, Ukrainian forces recaptured the villages of Vorone and Sichneve, along with the surrounding treelines, and are now pushing south/southeast towards Komyshuvakha and Maliivka. Other forces cleared the village of Oleksandrohrad, re-establishing control over the eastern bank of the Vovcha River, before recapturing the village of Voskresenka. The fall of Voskresenka allowed Ukrainian assault groups to push south to the fields east of Maliivka, where heavy fighting is now underway, with Russia dropping large numbers of KAB glide-bombs on advancing Ukrainian soldiers.
To the northeast, Ukrainian forces advanced southeast from Piddubne and established control over the village of Myrne. Other assault groups subsequently cleared the large expanse of fields between Piddubne and Oleksandrohrad, and began advancing towards Fedorivka from the northwest. Additionally, Ukrainian forces recaptured the forests east of Piddubne, which they are using as a springboard for crossing the Mokri Yaly River via the highway bridge and advancing to Perebudova from the north. This is being conducted simultaneously with limited crossings of the river from Myrne into the western streets of Komar.
Further northeast, the Ukrainians cleared the village of Tolstoi and the Hrushivske forest, before crossing the Mokri Yaly River and capturing the village of Zirka. From here, they were able to clear the western bank of the Mokri Yaly River, allowing larger-scale assault operations to begin in Yalta and Zaporizhzhya, east of the river. As a result of this recent fighting, Ukrainian forces were able to capture Yalta and enter Zaporizhzhya from the west, while clearing the fields east of Zirka.
In the north, Ukrainian forces recaptured the fortified Filiya Forest (which contained the last uncleared section of the New Donbas defensive line breached by Russia), and improved their positions in the forests northwest of Filiya. Other assault groups cleared the southern streets of Novopavlivka from earlier limited Russian infiltrations, and recaptured a large portion of the treelines southeast of the town, which they are now using to advance south down the highway towards Dachne.

Situation on the Pokrovs'ke & Komar directions, Donetsk/Dnipropetrovsk Oblast: Over the last three weeks, Ukrainian forces continued their counterattacks, clearing large parts of the grey-zone and breaking through into the Russian tactical rear. In the southwestโฆ
The Second battle for Komar has begun:
As a part of their ongoing coordinated series of counterattacks, Ukrainian forces have managed to re-enter the town of Komar, which was captured by Russia over a year ago in mid-June 2025.
Ukrainian forces are actively accumulating in two main areas: the village of Myrne and the forests east of Piddubne.
From the forests east of Piddubne, small groups of Ukrainian soldiers are crossing the highway bridge over the Mokri Yaly River, and pushing south towards the village of Peredubova (which is physically connected to Komar) and the forests northeast of the town. Russian KAB glide-bombs are actively striking these forests.
From the Myrne area, Ukrainian forces are crossing through the grey-zone in the fields west of the river, with some crossing it and managing to enter the western streets of Komar. Russia is yet to initiate a large-scale KAB bombing campaign on either Myrne or Piddubne.
These attacks are being carried out under heavy artillery and MLRS cover. The Ukrainain Air Force is also actively striking Russian positions in Komar with glide-bombs, while FPV drones are striking anything that moves.
The situation here for Russia is critical, and if they dont re-establish a coherent defence along the eastern bank of the river north of Komar, they could risk losing control over the entire town. This would be a massive setback for their forces attempting to establish control over the Donetsk-Dnipropetrovsk regional border, and secure the right flank to neighbouring units who will try to reach Pokrovs'ke.

Situation on the Dobropillya direction, Donetsk Oblast:
Over the last three weeks, the situation has sharply deteriorated for Ukraine, as Russia makes a series of tactical breakthroughs into one of the strongest parts of the frontline.
In the southwest, Russian forces continued clearing the salient west of Hryshyne, advancing further west north of the highway. Other assault groups advanced south of Myrne, entrenching in the forested gulleys, and infiltrating further west along the southern bank of the Hryshnka River.
To the northeast, the Russians improved their positions north and northeast of Vasylivka, continued fighting for Myrne, and captured a large number of treeline positions southwest of Shevchenko. Some infiltrators have managed to reach the southern approaches to Novohryshyne and Matyasheve.
To the east, Russian forces captured the former Zaporizhka Mine west of Rodynske and captured a large number of treelines to the northwest. This has allowed them to capture the main part of Shevchenko and begin infiltrating north towards Vodyanske.
These attacks are being carried out in coordination with a large-scale operation from the east, which has resulted in Russia breaking through Ukraine's main defences east of Svitle, and gaining a foothold in the northeastern part of the town. Heavy fighting is now underway for Svitle and neighbouring Vodyanske, where the grey-zone has been significantly expanded. Additionally, some Russian soldiers are infiltrating north into the villages of Chernihivka and further west from there into Krasnopodillya.
To the northeast, Russian forces cleared the fields east, northeast, and southeast of Bilytske, before entering and capturing the majority of the city. From there, they are attempting to capture the Bilytska Mine and support operations in Chernihivka from the east. Fighting continues with some partially-isolated Ukrainian formations in the southwestern part of Bilytske.
To the north, the Russians captured the main Ukrainian strongpoint in the railway line south of Novyi Donbas after weeks of fighting, and pushed further. They then captured Novyi Donbas itself and began infiltrating west to the eastern outskirts of Dobropillya. Heavy fighting is also underway for the Hannivka area after Russian forces captured the dachas on the eastern outskirts of the village. Other Russian assault groups are attempting to push north to capture the tactical heights south of Stepy.
To the east, Russian forces recaptured the dachas northeast of Nove Shakhove and advanced north up the forested gulley, while other forces attempt to capture Vilne and the positions east of the village. Additionally, heavy fighting is ongoing for the large forest north of Shakhove and the nearby clay quarries.

The Ukrainian assault groups should be in Dobropillya and Kramatorsk/Slovyansk, not Dnipropetrovsk Oblast or the Komar direction.
What's unfolding in these directions could quickly become a complete and utter disaster for Ukraine if there is no response soon.

Situation on the Druzhkivka direction, Donetsk Oblast:
Over the last few weeks, Russian forces have significantly intensified their assault operations southwest of Druzhkivka, capturing seven different villages.
In the west, Russian forces captured the tactical heights north of Toretske after months of fighting. This, combined with the clearance of the remaining northern part of the village, allowed Russia to break through Ukrainian defences on the heights to the north and capture large swaths of the forested gullies south of Hruzka River.
To the east, Russian forces cleared the villages of Novopavlivka and Pavlivka, which were previously in the grey-zone, and used them to advance further north up the eastern bank of the Kazenyi Torets River. They were able to village hop, capturing Pryyut, Torske, and then Toretske, before infiltrating east into the villages of Petrivka and Raiske. Additionally, some assault groups crossed the Kazenyi Torets River and captured Krasnyi Kut.
To the southeast, Ukrainian forces counterattacked, recapturing a number of treeline positions in the direction of the Poltavka River. Some small assault groups infiltrated further southwest through the treelines towards the reservoirs and nearby forested areas.

The situation for Ukraine in northeastern Kharkiv Oblast is reaching a critical point...
Russian forces have continued their new cross-border offensive operations, which seem to be aimed at encircling a large Ukrainian grouping in the northeastern corner of Kharkiv Oblast.
As a result of recent advances, they captured the villages of Artilne, Ustynivka, Ivashchyne, Anyshchyne, Shevyakivka, Zybyne, Karaichne, Vilcha, Lyman, and Volokhivka, and are now engaged in fighting for Volokhivske, Zakharivka, Ivanivka, Vasylivka, Vodyane, Vilkhuvatka, Dovzhanka, and Kupyne. Forward assault groups from the two pincers are currently just 8 km from cutting off the large Ukrainian salient.
However, the main target of this offensive may be the town of Prykolotne, which hosts the main highway intersection, and is responsible for most logistics in this sector. It's fall would make defending the Bilya Kolodyaz direction much more difficult.
Currently, a large grey-zone remains in many areas, and there is still an opportunity for Ukraine to stabilise the situation. But, if nothing is done soon, they may be forced to withdraw from this large salient to avoid being encircled.
Over a year ago, I outlined this area as having potential for unusually large Russian advances. And it appears we may be seeing this materialise now.

When overlaying this on a topographic map, we can see that Prykolotne is situated on one of the highest points of the tactical heights, overlooking the surrounding low-lying ground near the international border.
Not only is it a crucial logistical hub, but it also serves as key tactical highpoint. Although, if Ukraine withdraws from the areas north of it before the town falls, its worth as a logistical point will be significant diminished until Russia can capture it and transform it into their own logistical hub.

Russia's Druzhkivka offensive has begun, and we are entering a new phase of the battle for Donbas.
Like how the Kostyantynivka offensive began before Russia fully capturing Chasiv Yar, the Druzhkivka offensive has begun before Russia fully capturing Kostyantynivka.
At the same time, Ukraine has found itself in a dangerous situation in Dobropillya, as Russia makes a series of tactical breakthroughs. An advance up both banks of the Kazenyi Torets River (towards Druzhkivka on one side and Bilozerke on the other) appears to be the plan for now.
Ukraine probably could have reduced Russia's advances by a lot in these areas if they weren't so focused on advancing in the south. I understand there is a tactical importance for preventing an encirclement of Orikhiv, but these counterattacks should have stopped in April when the threat to Ternuvate and Pokrovs'ke was largely eliminated.
Now that Stepnohirsk and Prymorske have mostly come under Ukrainian control, the only area where I think it is worth counterattacking is north of Lyman, to prevent the city from being cut off from the northwest. Because, as long as Ukraine holds onto Lyman, Russia wont be able to storm Slovyansk, which in turn affects their ability to enter Kramatorsk.
