Russian forces have reportedly completed the capture of the southern part of Lysivka, southeast of Pokrovsk.

IDF Chief of Staff Herzi Halevi has announced he will resign from his post on March 6th, 2025 because of the security failure on October 7th 2023.

Israeli Merkava tanks have entered Jenin

Ukrainian forces are putting up fierce resistance near Andriivka, west of Kurakhove, but Russia is dismantling the Ukrainian buffer zone northeast of the settlement, which will pave the way for direct attacks into the village from the northeast.

Attacks from the east are difficult due to the presence of a large Ukrainian stronghold on the eastern approaches to Andriivka.

According to a Ukrainian source, Russian forces have begun assault operations through the fields in the direction of Serhiivka. If true, this is another maneuver to bypass Pokrovsk. They stated that FPV drones are flying into the area and that Russian forces are suffering heavy losses.

Consequences of the intensified Russian shelling of Pokrovsk city.

According to the Palestinian ministry of health, 9 people have been killed and over 100 wounded in the first two hours of the Israeli invasion of Jenin.

The Commanding Officer of the Israeli Southern Command, MG Yaron Finkelman has announced his resignation from the IDF.

"The Pentagon has fired and suspended everyone who was responsible for Ukraine and helping us. There is a complete reboot in the US Department of Defense, there will be a new format of relations with Ukraine, it is all a bit alarming,"

Geolocated footage indicates that Russian forces advanced in the westernmost part of the Kursk salient and captured most of the village of Nikolaevo-Darino.

They likely advanced from positions in the southern part of the village of Darino, down the road, clearing Ukrainian positions in the residential part of the settlement. A Russian flag was then raised over one of the southern houses.

It's possible (but unlikely) that Ukraine maintains a presence in the agricultural buildings on the eastern outskirts. A Russian source also reported that Russian forces advanced west of the village, taking up positions in the treelines, however this has not been confirmed. For now, I've placed this area including the agricultural buildings in the grey zone.

+ ~4.54km² in favour of Russia.

Recent reports from multiple reliable sources indicate that Russian forces from the 25th separate motorized rifle brigade advanced north of Kupyansk, capturing most, if not all of the village of Zapadne.

After capturing the forests to the east of Zapadne and consolidating their positions, Russian forces began launching assault operations over the road, infiltrating the village. They were able to quickly clear the eastern and central parts of the settlement and possibly the western part too.

There are differing reports coming from here. Some are saying that Russian forces completely captured it, while others are saying that clearing operations are still ongoing. Either way, if the village hasn't fallen yet, it is likely to in the coming hours.

+ ~1.15km² in favour of Russia.

Geolocated footage and reports from multiple reliable sources indicate that Russian forces advanced in the forests southeast of Chasiv Yar, capturing an important Ukrainian stronghold.

Russian forces advanced through the grey zone to the two Ukrainian strongholds in the middle of the forest. These two strongholds are the children's camp and an underground bunker. After sappers blew up Ukrainian positions, Russian forces went in and cleared the children's camp. They are now trying to capture the heavily fortified bunker.

+ ~ 0.75km² in favour of Russia.

Recent reports from multiple reliable sources indicate that Russian forces advanced on the eastern flank of Pokrovsk, near the village of Baranivka.

Russian forces advanced from positions in the low-lying ground southeast of Baranivka, and captured positions in a treeline on the local heights east of the village. This will make future assault operations much easier for Russia and could collapse the lines north to the village of Tarasivka in the near future.

+ ~2.48km² in favour of Russia.

A recent map update by the Ukrainian source "Deepstate" indicates that Russian forces marginally advanced in the Andriivka direction.

After establishing positions southwest of Novoandriivka, Russian forces built on their momentum and continued to slowly advance westwards, capturing a small treeline. They are continuing to bypass Novoandriivka, with their goal being to reach Sribne. As of now, they are an estimated 1.1km from the outskirts of the village.

+ ~0.08km² in favour of Russia.

Recent reports from multiple reliable sources indicate that Russian forces advanced in the Andriivka direction, taking up new treeline positions.

After establishing footholds on two treelines west of Petropavlivka, Russian forces began assault operations south, down them. This shows that they were able to resupply the relatively isolated treeline in the west, which could suggest a lack of Ukrainian drone activity here.

Russian forces advanced south down both treelines, taking up new positions and approaching the Ukrainian positions in the forests northeast of Andriivka. Once these forests fall, the Ukrainian buffer zone northeast of Andriivka would have effectively fallen apart, and direct assault operations on the village will likely begin.

+ ~2.06km² in favour of Russia.

A recent map update by the Ukrainian source "Deepstate" indicates that Russian forces advanced in Velyka Novosilka, taking up new positions in the eastern part of the town.

Russian forces advanced from positions in the treelines south of the Kashlahach river and entered the eastern residential area of Velyka Novosilka, capturing the fire station and reaching the school and stadium.

Additionally, in the northeast, Russian forces advanced from their positions in the vocational school and captured most of the built-up area on the northeastern bank of the Kashlahach river.

There are some reports of Ukrainian forces attempting to break out of the town by going through Russian positions in Vremivka, although this is unconfirmed at the moment.

+ ~2.58km² in favour of Russia.

Overnight, 3 Russian Tu-95MS aircraft flew from Olenya air base in Murmansk Oblast to Engels-2 air base in Saratov Oblast to be equipped with Kh-101 cruise missiles. They will fly back to Olenya air base in the next 12-24 hours.

An evacuation helicopter carrying injured Israeli soldiers from the Jenin operation just landed at Beilinson Hospital in Tel Aviv.

Pokrovsk and Kostyantynivka are currently under heavy fire. Strong explosions have been heard in Pokrovsk since last night, while explosions are also being reported in Kostyantyniva.

Ukraine has reportedly redeployed units from the Hulyaipole direction to the areas of Uspenivka and Udachne in western Donetsk Oblast. Yet another example of gaps being plugged.

However, Deepstate did claim that Ukrainian forces successfully counterattacked in Udachne and Shevchenko, although this is unconfirmed right now.
