In the Velykyi Burluk direction, Russian forces made new progress and captured the last remaining Ukrainian positions on the western bank of the Oskil River north of the city of Kupyansk.

Russian forces advanced west from their positions in the forests of the Dvorichansky National Park, entering and capturing the village of Krasne Pershe. They then continued to push south along the ridgeline, seizing further positions in the forests.

At the same time, forces from the south advanced northeast up the ridgeline, capturing new positions in the treelines and forest plantations, before linking up with the forces from the north and establishing full control over the western bank of the Oskil River.

+ ~14.70km² in favour of Russia.

In the Kupyansk direction, both Russian and Ukrainian forces have advanced, capturing various new positions on both banks of the Oskil River.

In the north, Russian forces began expanding their buffer zone around the town of Dvorichna, which they use as a staging ground and forward deployment point for assault operations. They advanced north, west and southwest of the town, capturing the forest east of the village of Dovhenke, while making further progress in the larger forests directly west of Dvorichna.

South of the Nyzhnya Dvorichna River, Russian forces advanced to the forest plantations, seizing positions there and in the adjacent forests in the low-lying ground.

To the south, Russian forces re-established control over the rest of the village of Zapadane, which was previously in the grey zone due to a series of Ukrainian infiltration attempts. They also entered the small forest west of the village. Meanwhile to the north, Ukrainian forces counterattacked, entering and establishing control over part of the forest north of Zapadne.

In the south, closer to the city of Kupyansk, Russian forces continued assault operations in the village of Kindrashivka, capturing the southwestern streets and pressuring the remaining Ukrainian positions in the southeastern part.

East of the Oskil River, Russian forces resumed assault operations towards Kupyansk from the north after a series of failed attacks in late 2024, followed by successful Ukrainian counterattacks. They were able to make new progress in the Limansky forest, seizing new positions southwest of the village of Synkivka. Meanwhile, the grey zone expanded in Synkivka, as the level of damage makes it difficult to hold a permanent presence. Currently only the 2 northernmost streets are under Russian control.

+ ~12.39km² in favour of Russia.
+ ~1.84km² in favour of Ukraine.

Reminds me of those spoiled rich kids in American movies when they don't get exactly what they want and when they want it.

Russian forces advanced west from their treeline positions west of the village of Ivanivka, entering and capturing Stepova Novosilka.

Stepova Novosilka will forever be known as the Bilohorivka of Kharkiv Oblast. I think the Russians have claimed to have captured it like 5 times now?
