Russian FABs are beginning to hit Rozlyv, west of Kurakhove, in preparation for ground assaults on the village.
Roslyv lies just south of the main highway leading into Kurakhove, and its fall would lead to severe logistical problems for the Ukrainian garrison in the city.

Recent reports from reliable sources suggest that Russian forces have likely marginally advanced in the Lyman direction.
Following the capture of Novosadove, Russian infantry continued their offensive operations to the north of Terny, reaching the northern outskirts of the village. Under the cover of FABs, Russian forces then likely advanced into the first few houses of the village, establishing positions there.
+ ~0.57km² in favour of Russia

A lot of people are mad at this. Reading through other Pro-Ukrainian channels, people are calling the economist a Russian asset. Well that's funny, because I'm sure back in 2022 they would be saying the exact opposite during Ukraine's successful counteroffensives when the Economist was reporting on those. The information echochamber is real.

A bunch of the Ukrainian place names in the Pokrovsk salient have changed on google maps, and I don't really know why.
Examples include:
Zhelanne Persha -> Bazhane Persha
Pervomaiske -> Avdiivske
Zhelanne -> Blahodatne
Sieverne -> Pivnichne
Among others.
Should I update my monthly counts of settlements that have changed hands to include these names, or keep them as the old names?

Violent battles have been taking place in the Al-Nours camp, in the Palestinian city of Tulkarm on the West Bank for the past 8 hours. Multiple people were killed in Israeli drone strikes and shelling, including who was reportedly an Al-Qassam brigades commander. Multiple explosive devices have been detonated against Israeli bulldozers and other military vehicles. Israeli military bulldozers are destroying streets, while snipers were deployed to besiege the Al-Nours camp. An infantry force entered the camp and was met with fierce resistance from the Tulkarm battalion. Fighting is ongoing, and I will update you all when more news surfaces.

As of today, any remaining Ukrainian troops still in Kurakhivka are now in an operational encirclement.
Over the past 24 hours, most of the remaining Ukrainians were able to escape through the Central Ore Processing Plant, likely just hours before Russia captured it and severed the last section of land connecting Kurakhivka to the rest of the Ukrainian controlled territory.
This was likely the commanders' decision, rather than the Ukrainian command deciding to withdraw. If this is true, a lot of AFU troops were saved in doing so, but it is still early days, so we may see reports of POWs being captured in the near future.

This is my prediction for the South Donetsk front over the next 2-3 months. I believe we will see an Avdiivka-like situation, where two pincers bypass Kurakhove from the flanks, forcing a Ukrainian withdrawal.
This map shows what I think the situation will be once Kurakhove is entirely in a grey zone. Keep in mind, the 2-3 month prediction assumes that other directions are not prioritised over this one.
I will come back to this map at the beginning of 2025 to see how it compares to the situation then.

Geolocated footage indicates that Russian forces have advanced and captured one of the two last parts of Makiivka which was still under Ukrainian control.
They were able to advance up three parallel treelines from south to north, approaching a small gulley. Additionally, a small forest was occupied, forcing a Ukrainian withdrawal from this section of the eastern bank of the Zherebets river, leading to the capture of the northernmost houses of Makiivka.
It is possible that Ukraine withdrew from the last section of their bridgehead too, however this remains unconfirmed.
+ ~4.29km² in favour of Russia.
