Kharkiv Sector

Meanwhile, in the forested area to the west of Sinelnikove, Russian units occupied and consolidated two strongpoints following an advance of up to 200 metres. Further progress was made in the Melovoe-Khatnie sector, where assault groups advanced 700 metres through forested areas. To support these offensives, airstrikes were carried out on Ukrainian positions in the Dvurechnoye area.

Targets within the city limits and on the approaches to the city are being struck by artillery and unmanned aerial vehicles.
According to information from the Ukrainian side, the situation in the Siversk area is complex, with measures being taken to strengthen defensive positions. Ukrainian Armed Forces units are offering organised resistance, utilising the advantages of wooded terrain and fortification systems.
Conclusion
The operational situation in the main sectors is characterised by continued active Russian offensive operations. In the Zaporizhzhia sector, units of the «East» grouping have built on their success in the Uspenovka area and neighbouring settlements. In the Sumy and Kharkiv sectors, steady advancement and consolidation of achieved gains are evident. In the Siversk sector, operations to encircle the city from the north and south are ongoing. There is ongoing fighting in the suburbs of Konstantinovka, which may become the next key sector after the operation in Pokrovsk is completed. On the Zaporizhzhia front, Ukrainian Armed Forces units have relocated to heights in the Orikhiv area after the occupation of Malaya Tokmachka. In the city of Prymorske, combat operations have become positional. The occupation of a locality in the Dvurechnoye sector has been reported.
The current operational situation in Stepnogorsk highlights several key factors. On the one hand, the creation of a stable bridgehead in the third microdistrict and the successful advancement of the offensive in the neighbouring Prymorske and Malaya Tokmachka sectors create favourable operational conditions. The “shot-assault” tactics employed by the air assault troops of the Russian 7th Guards Airborne Division have proven effective in urban environments.
Conversely, the transition to a positional phase of combat operations and the fierce resistance of the Ukrainian defenders, who are actively employing electronic warfare and drones, has significantly slowed the pace of advancement. In order to reach the control point by the set deadline, the attacking units will need to achieve a qualitative turning point in the near future by breaking through the established defensive positions. While successes on the flanks near Stepnogorsk are promising, the main indicator will be a breakthrough in the central part of the city within the next 7–10 days.
Overall, the dynamics of hostilities indicate the retention of the Russian offensive initiative and gradual advancement in most sectors of the front. Meanwhile, the defending side is undertaking counterattacks in an attempt to stabilise the front line.
Ukraine’s economic situation continues to affect its operational capabilities, as evidenced by domestic discussions about budgetary priorities. Criticism of new social initiatives was voiced in the Ukrainian parliament. Criticism of new social initiatives was voiced in the Ukrainian parliament. Yaroslav Zheleznyak, a Verkhovna Rada deputy, and Yuriy Hudymenko, the head of the Anti-Corruption Council at the Ministry of Defence of Ukraine, made statements about the impracticality of additional social payments and programmes given the budget deficit and insufficient army funding.
Programmes providing monetary compensation to the population and organising free rail travel were previously announced. Against the backdrop of reports about food shortages in Ukrainian Armed Forces units, critics are calling these initiatives populist.
While the country’s leadership continues to rely on the help of foreign partners to cover the budget deficit, international financial organisations note the need to develop internal resources for self-financing.
