2 HTS soldiers were reportedly killed in the attacks. Further forces have been deployed to eliminate the attackers.

Russian forces continue to strike Kostyantynivka daily with FABs, and - as my source from there previously informed me - Smerch MLRS.

This video shows the aftermath of a Russian FAB-250 Glide bomb strike on a reported Ukrainian troop deployment site.

Damn I just realised, we’re past 6k subscribers on here. 5,000 wasn’t that long ago, thank you all so much for the support, and welcome to all my new subscribers!

Hopefully we’ll reach 10k this year!

Some channels I’d like to thank for helping me get to where I am.

Sorry if I forgot anyone!

Zelensky will not be able to return to the Oval Office as long as he refuses to discuss the details of the peace agreement on Ukraine. -JD Vance

U.S. President Donald Trump has signed an executive order raising the various import tariffs on China to 20%.

In the western part of Kursk Oblast, Russian forces advanced, capturing new positions in the treelines.

This happened around 5 days ago, when a Russian armoured column moved west towards Loknya. While some of the vehicles were destroyed, it appears that infantry was able to dismount and take up positions in the treelines north and northwest of Lebedevka.

+ ~4.74km² in favour of Russia.

Russian forces crossed the international border, and captured the border crossing in Kharkiv Oblast, near the village of Nekhoteevka.

Russian infantry advanced from positions in Nekhoteevka, and entered the border post buildings which were in the grey zone and completely destroyed. Positions were taken up there, but it is unclear whether they will be able to hold them.

+ ~0.27km² in favour of Russia.

Russian forces recently advanced in the southern Ukrainian Oskil bridgehead, recapturing previously lost positions.

They advanced in three main areas. In the west, Russian forces moved down the forests on either side of the railway tracks, capturing positions towards the southern end of Zahryzove.

In the central part of this sector, they recaptured the southern part of Kruhlyakivka, and moved into the northern houses of Zahryzove and also captured positions in a nearby treeline, and in the east, Russian forces marginally advanced down a separate treeline.

+ ~4.66km² in favour of Russia.

In Toretsk, Russian forces counterattacked, and knocked Ukrainian forces out of their positions in the Toretsk central coal mines.

Russian forces moved west, clearing out the positions which Ukrainian forces had fortified inside the mines, pushing any remnants back out to their positions in the residential area to the west, however, it's possible that all of this residential area is in the grey zone now.

+ ~0.34km² in favour of Russia.

Ukrainian forces conducted a counterattack on the eastern flank of Pokrovsk, spearheading a new attack.

They advanced uphill, down a treeline, taking up positions there. They then reached a trench stronghold, which was subsequently cleared by infantry. Ukrainian forces are now nearly at the top of the tactical heights, however as Russian forces maintain their positions nearby, it will be very difficult for Ukraine to hold onto these positions for long.

+ ~0.57km² in favour of Ukraine

2 Russian Tu-95MS strategic bombers are redeploying from Olenya Air Base to Engels-2 Air Base to be equipped with Kh-101 cruise missiles.

Russian preparations for the next large-scale missile attack on Ukraine have begun.

I wish I was a little older and had the ability to visit Ukraine. I want to be able to go there, experience the cities, talk to the locals, learn more about the country, and most importantly, see what it is truly like for the average Ukrainian.

Sure, I have my contacts, which is great and more than most outside observers have, but it would be incredible to stay for a few days and get to know the place, truly feel what it is like, rather than seeing everything online, because there is a big difference between seeing things on video and actually being there to experience it.

Maybe I will visit what’s still considered Ukraine after the war - I think that would be one of my goals.

Praying for this war to end soon.

To elaborate further, considering I am so invested in this war and everything happening to do with it, I feel really inclined to visit Ukraine, almost as if it’s my duty due to how much I’ve covered it.

I truly think that visiting a place and physically talking to the people there is the best way to broaden your understand of said topic.

Who knows, maybe I should try doing it when I have some time off. I’ll keep it in mind for now.

Extensive Turkish airstrikes on Belave, Kurdish controlled northern Iraq.

Explosions in Pavlohrad, Dnipropetrovsk oblast. Iskander-M ballistic strike.

Disappeared. Either hit an open area (unlikely), or was a false identification.

Yemen's Houthis released footage showing them shooting down an American MQ-9 reaper drone, making it the 15th of its type to be destroyed over Yemen since October 7, and the first since Trump came into office.
