Locals in Ukrainsk report that Russian forces are storming the town, and that they can hear the sound of tanks and machine guns. This indicates that the Russians may have advanced further down the treelines southwest of Memryk.

Update from Selydove:

Multiple reliable sources reported that Russian forces have greatly expanded their foothold inside Selydove and have advanced towards the city centre.

Following the likely fall of the second Terykon, Russian forces gained full fire control and surveillance over eastern Selydove, apparently allowing for forward units to advance into the city and establish positions inside the eastern residential areas.

Some sources even reported that fighting is ongoing in the high-rise residential area in the city centre, while others report clahses in the city park and sports complex.

There are also reports that Russian forces are advancing through houses on the southern bank of the Solona river in the direction of the other high-rise residential block.

Everything is moving very fast here, and it looks like Selydove might be lost within a week at this rate.

The first reports are coming in that Russian forces have entered Ukrainsk.

Geolocated footage indicates that Russian forces made significant progress northeast of Hrodivka and reached the southern bank of the Kazenyi Torets river.

It is important to note that this advance is likely a few weeks old and probably occurred after the capture of Lozuvatske so I won't go into detail on it as I have made other posts on it before it was confirmed.

Either way, Russian forces were able to advance downhill from the dominant heights, capturing the villages of Tymofiivka, Lysychne and Svyrydonivka, however all of these settlements are only a cluster of houses. The important factor for the Russians in this advance is the fact that Ukrainian forces were pushed to the northern bank of the Kazenyi Torets river and now likely only maintain a small bridgehead near the Novotoretske Gulley.

There are also reports that Russian forces established their own bridgehead on the northern bank of the river and are attacking in the direction of Yelyzavetivka.

Geolocated footage shows that Russian forces have captured the northern residential areas of Novohrodivka and have therefore captured the entirety of the town. If the reports on when Novohrodivka first fell are correct, then the battles lasted just three days.

The footage shows a Russian flag being hung on the roof of the administrative building of the Novohrodivka no. 1 mine, however there is still no confirmation of Russian control over the adjacent Terykon (industrial waste heap).

The fall of Novohrodivka will allow for further advances up the intact windbreaks on either side of the railway tracks in the direction of Myrnohrad, possibly joining up with attack vectors from Mykolaivka.

It is also possible that Russian forces will assault in the direction of Sukyi Yar and Lysivka (to the northwest) in order to reach Pokrovsk, although they may wait for Myrnohrad to fall before launching direct assault operations on the city.

The maximum advance of Russian forces was 1.45km.

Regarding the situation in Karlivka:

Geolocated footage and reliable reports suggest that Russian forces captured the village of Karlivka in the Selydove direction.

Starting off with what is confirmed, Russian forces marginally advanced inside Karlivka, capturing the rest of the eastern Dachas and the medical centre. Soldiers raised their unit flag over the complex.

As for likely advances, Russian forces reportedly advanced from two directions in a pincer movement, one from the northwest exploiting the Ukrainian collapse on the western bank of the Vovcha river and the other from the already established positions near the Karlovs'ke reservoir. These advances likely joined up around the intersection of the Vovcha river and the Karlovs'ke reservoir, forcing a Ukrainian withdrawal south to the village of Halytsynivka.

Due to the cutting of the E50 highway in two places, the Ukrainian garrison inside the village was reportedly running low on ammunition and likely withdrew due to a combination of this and the fact that the Russians were about to cut the last remaining supply route into the village which runs through Halytsynivka.

Overall, the fall of Karlivka will likely allow for further advances south along the Vovcha river with the end goal probably being to force a Ukrainian withdrawal from the Nevelske-Krasnohorivka salient.

Reliable reports indicate that Russian forces continue to exploit the collapse of the Ukrainian defences near the Vovcha river and have likely advanced to positions along the northern bank of the river near the village of Halytsynivka.

Additionally, Russian forces likely advanced to positions just outside Ukrainsk, with assault operations reportedly already ongoing inside the northern part of the town, although it is unknown whether they gained a foothold or not yet.

As for the villages of Lisivka and Dolynivka, Russian forces reportedly entered the first houses of both of them and are currently clearing the Ukrainian positions there.

Purple = Likely Russian control
Yellow (drawn on) = claimed Russian advances

Initial reports suggest that Russian forces have advanced a further 2.5km along the railway line and are now within ~1.5km of Myrnohrad.

This would put any Ukrainian formations in the Novohrodivka mine (outlined in blue) at a risk of encirclement if they haven't been pushed out already.

Geolocated footage indicates that Russian forces advanced into Synkivka in the Kupyansk direction and captured most of the village.

A video surfaced yesterday showing a Russian soldier attaching the Russian flag to the school in the centre of Synkivka, showing that Ukrainian forces had been pushed from the majority of the village.

However, an hour later, reports from the ground came in stating that combing operations were still ongoing, and that Ukrainian forces were conducting a fighting withdrawal after Ukrainian troops simply left their positions in the main part of the village.

This advance opens up opportunities for future advances on Petropavlivka, which then leads to the key city of Kupyansk.
