🇷🇺🇺🇦 - Kurakhovo direction update:

Russian forces have begun clearing the Kurakhovo pocket, however reports of the pocket being completely cleared are false. A source from the Russian 68th Tank Brigade tells Rerum Novarum that they are still waiting along the outskirts of Dachnoe, as small Ukrainian pockets remain in the trenches and tree-lines west of the town.

Front-line sources, from Ukraine and Russia, state that the trapped Ukrainian personnel in the Kurakhovo pocket, west of Dachnoe, might be the infamous and very well experienced Ukrainian 79th Brigade 'Cyborgs'. This report remains unconfirmed at the moment.

Reports of Russian forces capturing the entirety of Ulakly are pure fiction. A source from the Russian 38th Brigade, the very unit that's fighting there, tells Rerum Novarum that they just managed to position themselves in the southern outskirts of the town.

Russian forces stormed Konstantinopol from the south early morning, creating a landing platform in the southeast of the town. Russian forces have also successfully crossed the Volcha river and are pressuring the Ukrainian force in the town from the north too.

In Andreevka, battles continue in the west of the town. 80% of the large town is under Russian control, but sources tell Rerum Novarum that advancing here has become difficult as Ukrainian forces have destroyed most infrastructure, including the houses. Russian units are instead focusing on the large trench network north of the town.

Early morning, Russian forces made a successful climb north, towards Ukraine's 1st line of Zaporizhian defenses. Reports of Russia capturing parts of this line are false.
