Ukrainian forces advanced in the Pokrovsk direction, capturing the village of Pishchane.

They advanced from positions in the Pishchane industrial zone, panning out into the residential areas, clearing the Russian positions in the village. They also went on to capture the forest plantation west of the village, and are now reportedly attacking towards Vovkove.

This threatens the encirclement of the Russian formations in and around Zvirove and Leontovychi.

There was also a correction of the frontline in Kotlyne, with Ukrainian forces confirmed to be in control of the entirety of the southern street of the village. A Russian mechanised assault on that street from the south was also repelled.

+ ~0.85km² in favour of Ukraine.

In western Donetsk Oblast, Russian forces managed to achieve important gains in the village of Uspenivka, breaking through to the western outskirts of the settlement.

Russian forces captured all three of the Ukrainian defensive nodes protecting Uspenivka, using each of them as a staging ground for future advances. After the middle defensive node was captured, Russian forces advanced southwest into the central street, taking a foothold in the houses there. They then pushed south, along with the forces on the eastern street, capturing most of the southern end of the village.

Once this was achieved, Russian forces began attacking west, capturing the southwestern houses, therefore pushing the northwestern houses into the grey zone. As a result of these new gains, the fall of Uspenivka is now imminent.

I bet Kiev will fall before bilohorivka

So true lol

Russian forces advanced in western Donetsk Oblast, capturing most of the village of Zaporizhzhya.

They advanced from positions in the western houses of the village and captured the central part. Fighting is now ongoing for the western houses.

Ukrainian forces are putting up resistance but are slowly being pushed back towards the fields east of the village of Troitske.

+ ~0.1km² in favour of Russia.

Russian forces advanced in Andriivka, capturing most of the village.

Advances were made in two main directions. The main advance was in the north, where Russian forces advanced through the fortifications on the tactical heights, capturing the northernmost part of Andriivka.

In the west, Russian forces advanced further towards the western outskirts of the village, capturing more of the residential area there. Due to these advances, all of Andriivka is now either in the grey zone or under Russian control.

+ ~3.40km² in favour of Russia.

In the Komar direction, Russian forces advanced northwest of Velyka Novosilka, capturing new positions in the treelines there.

Russian forces advanced up one treeline, capturing it and a perpendicular one. They then moved onto the next treeline and a nearby forested area, capturing them both.

If the Russians can wrap around the bend of the Mokri Yaly River, future offensive operations over the river and towards the village of Burlatske and then the border with Dnipropetrovsk Oblast, will become significantly easier.

+ ~3.39km² in favour of Russia.

Correction of the frontline in favour of Ukraine:

In the Orikhiv direction, at some point, Ukrainian forces recaptured previously lost treeline positions northeast of the village of Kopani. These treelines likely have dense trench networks within them, making them easier to defend if you have the manpower.

+ ~1.29km² in favour of Ukraine.

Trump had a phone call with Putin and Zelensky. His call with Putin lasted nearly an hour and a half, while his call with Zelensky lasted nearly an hour.

The kremlin stated that Putin Invited Trump to visit Moscow.

In a statement, Zelensky expressed his gratefulness for Trump for his “interest in what we [Ukraine and the U.S.] can do together”.

The White House released a statement saying that the call with Zelensky was “very good”, and said that Zelensky was interested in peace “like Putin”.

Israeli forces are now simultaneously storming Balata refugee camp in Nablus, Al-Aroub camp in Hebron, Aida camp in Bethlehem, and Shuafat camp near East Jerusalem. Battles are taking place in Balata camp with Palestinian armed groups.

This is all while Israeli forces are continuing their storming Tamoun, Al-Fara’a camp, tulkarm city including Tulkarm camp and Nur shams Camp, as well as Jenin, also engaging in clashes with Palestinian armed groups.

In the western part of the Kursk salient, Russian forces continued their advance, capturing new positions in the village of Sverdlikovo.

They likely advanced from the north and south, capturing the houses in the central part of the settlement, and reaching the western bank of the Loknya River. Ukrainian forces still maintain a presence in the southern part of the village, however.

Once the entire western bank of the river is secured, assault operations to the rear will become easier, and the eastern part of the village will fall.

+ ~0.47km² in favour of Russia.

In western Luhansk Oblast, Russian forces made new advances, capturing the last part of Makiivka, and further expanded their bridgehead on the western bank of the Zherebets River.

Russian forces advanced from positions in the southern houses of the main part of Makiivka, capturing a forested area and two adjacent treelines. They then advanced south, capturing the small residential area in southern Makiivka, before branching off into the nearby forest, capturing that too.

+ ~3.26km² in favour of Russia.

Correction of the frontline in favour of Ukraine:

At some point, Ukrainian forces counterattacked north of Bakhmut, and crossed a tributary of the Vasyukivka River.

After capturing a few treelines which were previously in the grey zone, Ukrainian forces advanced over the tributary, taking up new positions in the forest plantations on the opposite bank, therefore establishing a small bridgehead.

+ ~1.19km² in favour of Ukraine.

Russian forces continued to advance in western Donetsk Oblast, and completed the capture of the village of Andriivka.

Following a collapse in Ukrainian resistance, Russian forces advanced from positions in the western part of the village, reaching the western outskirts. They also completed the capture of the houses in the north of the settlement on the tactical heights, securing another section of the fortified area.

This puts the village of Kostyantynopil at a risk of encirclement, along with the village of Ulaky which is even further east.

+ ~1.56km² in favour of Russia.

In the salient west of Kurakhove, Russian forces continued their advance downhill from the tactical heights, clearing a large area of Ukrainian treeline positions.

Russian forces, along with sappers, advanced west, capturing two treelines west of the Dachne Graveyard, before moving south along a perpendicular treeline to the rear of the Ukrainian positions to the east. This forced Ukrainian troops to withdraw from these positions, westwards, to safer positions east of the village of Zelenivka, allowing for Russian forces to advance west, capturing those positions.

This coincides with a Russian push north across the gulley to the west of this advance, and lines up with my previous belief that Ukrainian manpower levels was low in those treelines. The main defences of the salient appear to be about to fall, which could result in an attempted withdrawal through the bottleneck in Ulaky and Kostyantynopil.

+ ~5.02km² in favour of Russia.
