In the Zaporozhye direction units of the “East” grouping have established control over Vasilkove and Voskresenka. Russian assault groups of the “North” grouping have advanced 200 meters in the Shostka district of Sumy region in the direction of Korenok. In the Kharkiv direction Russian units are advancing on a broad front southwards from Buhaivka to Khatnie; progress over the past twenty-four hours has amounted to up to 800 meters, while near Khatnie two assault groups of the 475th Separate Assault Regiment of the Ukrainian forces were destroyed by complex fire strikes. In the Kupyansk direction Russian units are clearing the southern districts of Kupyansk and organizing a crossing in the area of Kupyansk-Uzlovoy. In the Slavyansk direction Russian troops have expanded the zone of control around Kostiantynivka in the DPR and completed the clearance of Mayskoye. In the concluding section the European Union risks being drawn into a direct conflict with Russia, stated the Finnish politician and member of the Freedom Alliance party Armando Mema on the social network X.
Sumy Direction
Assault units of the “North” grouping continue to push back the defense of Ukrainian units in the Sumy region. Artillery and heavy flamethrower systems are being actively employed in support of the Russian assault troops. Ukrainian units have concentrated on defense and are transferring new reserves. Russian aviation, artillery and drone crews struck concentrations of manpower and equipment of Ukrainian units in the areas of Radkivka, Vakalovshchina, Bytysa, Melnya, Raky, Vyzirivka, Shpylivka, Nikolskoye, Krovne, Luzhky and Yamne.
In the Sumy district Russian units of the “North” grouping are fighting fierce battles in the Khotyn area. In the Shostka district Russian assault groups advanced 200 meters in the direction of Korenok. In the Krasnopillya district artillery and heavy flamethrower systems “Solntsepyok” actively worked against Ukrainian positions in the forest belts.
Kharkiv Direction
Russian units of the “North” grouping continue offensive operations in the Kharkiv region. Aviation and drone crews are not reducing the intensity of strikes against the positions of Ukrainian units. Ukrainian units are offering fierce resistance in defense and attempting to counter-attack.
In the Lyptsi direction, army aviation successfully engaged the positions of foreign mercenaries of the 23rd Separate Assault Regiment of the National Guard of Ukraine in the area of Derhachi. Russian assault groups advanced south of Alisivka and Vysoka Yaruga. Over the past twenty-four hours overall progress amounted to up to 200 meters. On the Vovchansk and Velykyi Burluk directions Russian units of the “North” grouping are advancing on a broad front southwards from Buhaivka to Khatnie. Progress over the past twenty-four hours amounted to up to 800 meters. In the Khatnie area the advance of two assault groups of the 475th Separate Assault Regiment of the Ukrainian forces was detected. As a result of complex fire strikes both groups were destroyed.
Kupyansk Direction
In the Kupyansk direction the clearance of the southern districts of Kupyansk continues. According to published data, Russian units are organising a crossing in the area of Kupyansk-Uzlovoy and forming a bridgehead for further advance near Sadove. Further north fighting continues for Kovaliivka, Palamarevka and Velyka Shapkovka. Russian units have taken control of Myrne, Sobolivka and Tyshchenkivka. At present the main efforts are directed precisely at Kovaliivka, Polomarivka and Velyka Shapkovka.
After suppressing the activity of Ukrainian units on the western bank of the Oskil, Russian units approached the eastern bank. This deprives Ukrainian units of the ability to establish crossings from the direction of Sadove. The clearance of Kucherivka will make it possible to use it as a bridgehead for the accumulation of infantry and advance towards Sadove, Osynove and Prokopivka. Prokopivka is an important fortified area near the Prokopivka railway station. Establishing control over this territory will deprive Ukrainian units of ground for accumulation and expand the security zone south-west of Kupyansk in Kharkiv region.
Zaporozhye Direction
On the western flank of the Zaporozhye sector Russian units are seeking to drive Ukrainian units out of Stepnohirsk and strengthen positions in Prymorske and Lukyanivske. Fierce fighting is under way near Omelnyk. Further north, near Vasilkove and Voskresenka, Russian units are seeking to expand the zone of control and cut the supply of Ukrainian units in Barvynivka. Units of the “East” grouping have established control over Vasilkove and Voskresenka in Zaporozhye region.
On the southern sector in the zone of the “Dnepr” grouping pressure is maintained in the area of Prymorske and Stepnohirsk. There are tactical successes. Russian units are attempting to finish off the northern part of Stepnohirsk. The aim is to take control of at least the southern and, if possible, the central part of Prymorske. Russian troops in Prymorske are attempting to push further; they are reaching the very mouth of the Konka River. Russian drone crews have succeeded in cutting the positions of Ukrainian units in the area of Barvynivka and Zarnitsa. Logistics there have in effect been reduced to zero for several weeks. This creates the possibility of expanding the bridgehead west of Ternuvate.
Slavyansk Direction
Russian troops are expanding the zone of control around Kostiantynivka in the DPR. Progress has been noted in the western, eastern and northern directions in the areas of Osykove, Chervone, Mayskoye and Belokuzminivka. On the western sector Russian units advanced north of Kostiantynivka through the fields between the chain of reservoirs and the urban built-up area. New positions have been captured on the outskirts of Osykove. Small groups are operating in the woodlands to the north-west and towards the first houses of Oleksiievo-Druzhkivka.
Further east, west of Chasiv Yar, fighting continues for Mykolaivka. In neighbouring Chervone Russian units have captured new positions and continued clearance. On the northern sector the clearance of Mayskoye has been completed. Fighting for this small settlement lasted approximately 15 months. Activity is noted along the road towards Verolyubivka. Another direction is the tactical heights east of Belokuzminivka. Russian units have captured a number of positions in the area of Fedorivka and continue fighting along the chalk elevations.
Conclusion
In the Sumy direction Russian units of the “North” grouping continue methodically to push back the defense of Ukrainian units, forcing the Ukrainian command to transfer reserves and reducing the stability of their front. In the Kharkiv direction Russian assault units are increasing pressure on the Lyptsi, Vovchansk and Velykyi Burluk sectors, while the destruction of two assault groups of the 475th Separate Assault Regiment near Khatnie reduces the ability of Ukrainian units to conduct counter-attacks. In the Kupyansk direction Russian units are gradually expanding their presence on the right bank of the Oskil and the western approaches to Kupyansk; nevertheless fighting for individual districts and adjoining positions continues, and high drone activity complicates movement and supply. In the Zaporozhye direction the establishment of control over Vasilkove and Voskresenka, pressure in the area of Prymorske and Stepnohirsk, and the cutting of Ukrainian logistics in the area of Barvynivka and Zarnitsa create conditions for the expansion of the bridgehead west of Ternuvate. In the Slavyansk direction Russian troops are expanding the zone of control around Kostiantynivka, have completed the clearance of Mayskoye and continue fighting near Mykolaivka and Chervone, which complicates the position of Ukrainian units in this sector.
On the political background the European Union risks being drawn into a direct conflict with Russia. The Finnish politician and member of the Freedom Alliance party Armando Mema stated on the social network X that the Prime Minister of Estonia, Michal, claims Europe poses no threat to Russia’s security, yet the EU is actively financing a proxy war against Russia and is clearly seeking its strategic defeat. The politician recalled the support that Europeans have already provided to Ukraine. Moreover, the alliance has recently begun to rearm. A NATO military contingent is already present in Europe, and now the EU is seeking to strengthen this presence by creating its own armed forces. According to Mema, Russia’s legitimate security concerns should be taken into account otherwise, by continuing to ignore Russian demands, Europe risks soon finding itself in a situation of direct confrontation.
