On the approach to Slov'iansk, 🇷🇺 has continued the gradual advances of the past few weeks. They have now pushed beyond the northern edge of Nykyforivka.
Meanwhile, the 🇺🇦 attacks south of Pokrovske allowed their forces to push the area of 🇷🇺 control behind the settlement of Ternove.
West of Huliaipole, the 🇷🇺 forward operating area has been expanded partially beyond the western side of Zaliznychne.
🇷🇺 control was reduced back to the city of Huliapole on the northern side after 🇺🇦 units were spotted northeast of Zaliznychne.
Russian forces advancing west of Nevske and Terny have reached and taken Katerynivka as well as positions along the Ukrainian fortification line in the area.
In Zaporizhzhia, Russia has taken the settlement of Lobkove after the recent capture of Stepove and Mali Shcherbaky. A Ukrainian counterattack into Shcherbaky has prevented its capture so far.
Russia has taken positions along both sides of the Sumy / Kursk border, capturing the settlements of Veselivka and Basivka and reaching Loknia.
