Kursk Area

Russians advanced from Sverdlikovo to Lebedevka, entering the latter village’s western outskirts.

In the north, they retook at least the larger part of village Pogrebki, and likely entered Orlovka and Mar’evka.

In the southeast, Russians counterattacked west of Ulanok, retaking Fanaseevka and entering Cherkasskaya Konopelka.

No major changes were noted in the area.

 

Kharkiv Area

Fighting in the area continued without major territorial changes.

 

Svatove-Starobilsk Area and Donbas Area – North

In the north, Russians took village Topoli on the western bank of the Oskil River.

Intense fighting continued at a number of other sections of the frontline.

 

Donbas Area – Northeast

Russians took village Bilohorivka or most of it.

 

Toretsk-Kostyantynivka Area

Ukrainians counterattacked in Toretsk, retaking some of the northern and central parts of the city.

They also counterattacked southwest of Toretsk, pushing Russians out of villages Shcherbynivka and Leonidivka.

Some of the fighting and territorial changes in Toretsk and the area near the city remained covered by the fog of war and appeared rather fluid during the period covered in the present brief.

 

Donbas Area – Southeast and South

Heavy fighting continued in Pishchane. A little to the west, Ukrainians retook Kotlyne in a counterattack.

Russians advanced westward towards Kotlyarivka in the space between villages Nadiivka and Preobrazhenka, while also pushing westward south of Preobrazhenka.

Heavy fighting continued in Kostyantynopil and nearby west of Andriivka.

In the south, Russians completed the capture of Novoocheretuvate, and advanced from there entering Skudne. A little to the north, they also likely entered Dniproenerhiya.

Northwest of Velyka Novosilka, Russians took Burlatske, entered Pryvilne, and likely completed the capture of Novosilka.
