After a relatively "slow" patch in terms of Russian advances, Russian forces have begun making quicker progress in the Pokrovsk direction and in the direction of the border with Dnipropetrovsk Oblast.

Recent reports from multiple reliable sources indicate that Russian forces advanced in and around Velyka Novosilka.
Three main advances were made. In the east, the Russians were able to enter Velyka Novosilka from the northeast, attacking from multiple directions and dislodging the Ukrainians from their positions in the industrial zone. They also advanced and captured part of the eastern residential areas.
Further west, following the capture of Vremivka, Russian forces advanced across the Mokri Yaly river and established a bridgehead in the town centre and nearby houses.
West of Velyka Novosilka, Russia levelled out the front line, capturing some forested areas and two treelines.
+ ~4.65km² in favour of Russia.

A recent map update by the Ukrainian source "Deepstate" indicates that Russian forces advanced in the salient southwest of Kurakhove.
Russian forces were able to expand their bridgehead on the northern bank of the Sukhi Yaly river and linked up with the groupings near Yantarne.
Russian forces advanced north from their positions in the forest plantations on the northern bank of the Sukhi Yaly river, capturing part of three treelines, where they are trying to push Ukrainian forces off the local heights and down into the gulley to the north. They also managed to expand their zone of control to the west, capturing more forest plantations.
Meanwhile west of Yantarne, Russian forces slightly expanded their zone of control on the northern bank of the river, capturing a small forest, therefore linking up with the bridgehead.
Now that this has been achieved, Ukraine's southern flank in this salient which was previously protected by the Sukhi Yaly river, is now significantly weakened, with a solid Russian presence north of the river which they will undoubtably expand in the near future.
+ ~2.66km² in favour of Russia.
