The Israeli Army Radio reports that the Israeli Army has withdrawn three military divisions from the Lebanese border and redeployed them to the Golan Heights.

Geolocated footage and reports from a reliable source suggest that Russian forces have advanced south and west of Pushkine, taking up new treeline positions.

Russian forces were able to advance from their positions west of Novooleksiivka, and took control of at least 5 more treelines, pushing Ukraine closer to the village of Ukrainka. Ukraine responded by drone-dropping grenades on Russian soldiers, killing and wounded at least three.

Reliable reports also suggest that Russian forces have likely advanced west of Pushkine, advancing for nearly 2 km, and coming within 2km of Novoolenivka. It's important to note that Pushkine has not yet fallen, with the Ukrainian garrison putting up fierce resistance, however the Russians likely have a foothold in the easternmost houses and may attempt to slowly squeeze Ukraine out in the near future.

This probable advance to the west may result in the Russians expanding their control north, up the adjacent treelines, striking Ukrainian positions in the village from the rear.
