In the Hulyaipole direction, Russian forces continued to rapidly advance, making significant progress to the rear of Hulyaipole.
In the northwest, after capturing positions west and northwest of Rivnopillya, Russian forces advanced further through the lightly defended fields towards the western edge of the tactical heights. They were able to capture positions in numerous different treelines and entrenched northeast of a chain of reservoirs. Other forces infiltrated further west towards the village of Varvarivka, where a large grey-zone has formed.
To the southeast, Russian forces advanced beyond the gulley south of Yablukove and captured new positions in the treelines on the tactical heights. They also advanced from their already-established positions beyond the gulley towards the village of Zatyshshya, reaching and entering the village from the northeast. Other assault groups pushed to the south, bypassing Zatyshshya from the east, entrenching north of the Kalmychka Gulley, and beginning the envelopment of the villages of Vesele and Zelenyi Hai.
Additionally, Russian forces began advancing towards Vesele from the north, capturing additional positions along four parallel treelines. Ukrainian forces in turn withdrew from the northern part of the village in preparation for a full withdrawal to the west.
Further south, the Russians resumed their attacks towards Zelenyi Hai and Vesele from the east after previously being halted by Ukrainian fortifications and reinforcements. They reached the end of a series of treelines and captured the last stretch of a 6 km-long perpendicular treeline, consolidating just outside Zelenyi Hai. They also advanced to the next treeline over in the direction of Vysoke, reaching the eastern outskirts of the village.
+ ~25.78 km² in favour of Russia.

— 🇺🇸/🇻🇪 BREAKING: The U.S. will designate the alleged drug cartel headed by Nicholas Maduro as a Foreign Terrorist Organization (FTO) with Maduro being named as its leader
Aside from economic sanctions, an FTO designation allows the President to unilaterally order military interventions under the 2001 AUMF (Authorization for Use of Military Force) which has never been repealed by Congress.

In the Pokrovsk'e direction, Russian forces continued to advance south of the Vovcha River and have almost fully secured the section of its southern bank between Orestopil and Novoselivka.
After capturing the village of Orestopil, Russian forces continued to advance in the salient to the southeast. They crossed the Vorona River from Sosnivka and advanced northwest up the treelines towards the Vovcha River. Other assault groups continued advancing west along the southern bank of the Vovcha, and began attempts at entering the forest east of Velykomykhailivka.
Russian forces also crossed the Vorona River at a point further west, advancing down a treeline east of Orestopil and reaching the southern bank of the Vovcha directly south of Velykomykhailivka, therefore levelling the frontline between Orestopil and the positions west of Novoselivka.
+ ~5.34 km² in favour of Russia.

Update from the Pokrovsk direction:
Russian focus has shifted away from the last points in Pokrovsk still in the grey-zone to the surrounding areas, where they are attempting to eliminate the rest of the Myrnohrad pocket and make progress in other crucial sectors.
West of Pokrovsk, Russian forces continued to push north through the fields on the tactical heights, and have advanced up five parallel treelines, reaching their northern ends. Additionally, some soldiers are trying to infiltrate the small forest west of Hryshyne, however it's unlikely that they were able to consolidate there. The Ukrainian command has brought in new reinforcements to Hryshyne, where they are now probing Russian positions in the dachas on the southeastern outskirts of the village. This is significantly complicating further Russian progress in the area.
In northern Pokrovsk, Russian assault groups managed to consolidate in the agricultural complex north of the Hrishynka River, and in the first houses of the city's northernmost street and adjacent dachas. Small assault groups continue to operate in this area but are unable to bring it under full control due to the constant presence of Ukrainian soldiers, who have brought in significant reinforcements.
North of Pokrovsk, due to a lack of Ukrainian manpower here, Russian forces managed to consolidate in the first pig farm complex along the road towards Hryshyne as well as along the treeline running parallel with the road. They continue to operate in the area of the second pig farm, without consolidation yet.
In the southern part of the Myrnohrad pocket, Russian forces began advancing east from Novopavlivka to the nearby trench fortifications. Other forces broke through Ukrainian positions in southern Myrnohrad and advanced through the low-rise residential streets, reaching the southwestern outskirts of the city. This forced a Ukrainian withdrawal from the southern part of the pocket, allowing for the Russians to establish control over numerous trench fortifications and treelines, as well as two sets of railway windbreaks.
In the rest of Myrnohrad, Russian forces continue attempts at expanding their zone of control south of the high-rise buildings of the Zapadny District, pushing through the grey-zone in the low-rise residential areas. They are also trying to further expand their foothold in the southeastern part of the Zapadny District and are carrying out assault operations in the northeastern high-rise blocks of the city, in the direction of the local school and kindergarten.
In Rodynske, Russian forces regained the initiative in the city, re-establishing control over the eastern part of the city centre. Violent battles are now ongoing for the central-most block of Rodynske, where Ukrainian forces are attempting to counterattack from the area of the administrative building to the northwest. Additionally, other Russian assault groups managed to push the Ukrainians back from some of the three-story buildings on Chervonolymanska Street, and are attempting to push north to Myru Street, where Ukrainian soldiers are heavily entrenched.
+ ~16.99 km² in favour of Russia.

In the Dobropillya direction, Ukrainian forces continued to advance towards Shakhove from the north, approaching the Nove Shakhove - Shakhove road.
They advanced east along the forest plantations on either side of a gulley, reaching a dam next to a reservoir and the remaining Russian positions west of Shakhove. Other assault groups advanced southeast and south from the clay quarries, through the forests and down the Hruzke - Shakhove Road, recapturing positions there and reaching the northern approaches to Shakhove.
+ ~3.60 km² in favour of Ukraine.

In the Kostyantynivka direction, Russian forces continued to advance in the area of Ivanopillya, and have entered the village at a new point.
After securing most of the southern part of the village, as well as the positions to the east, Russian forces managed advance up the highway to the graveyard and consolidate in the treeline to the west. From there, they entered the northern part of Ivanopillya, where attempts are underway at entrenching in the street just west of the graveyard.
+ ~0.85 km² in favour of Russia.

In the Vovchansk direction, Russian forces continued to slowly advance in the area of Synelnykove, and have entered the main part of the village.
Following earlier failed attempts at capturing positions in the northern part of Synelnykove, Russian forces began attacks from the forests to the west, into the western street of the village. As a result, they were able to establish control over it, allowing for other assault groups to enter the settlement from the north, and capture the houses there too.
+ ~0.37 km² in favour of Russia.
