My daily update, probably shorter than usual as I've been busy today. I do all of the research myself, I might get things wrong, I try to correct mistakes as quickly as I can. If I see something, I take notes. Just trying to do my best here. #urkdailyupdate
The Kharkiv area: There is heavy ongoing fighting around Ternova (1). Other than this, everything else is more or less status quo.
The Izyum and Lyman area:
Russia tried to attack towards Virnopillya (2) and Bohorodychne (3) but were repelled in both cases.
In the past I mistakenly marked Pasika (4) as under Russian control. Apparently those sources were bad and it had been in Ukrainian control. Either way, Russia captured it today.
Russia is pushing Ukraine back towards Svyatohirsk (5,6,7). Ukraine also completely Shchurove (8), Brusivka (10). This means Svyatohirsk and (maybe) Ozerne are the only positions Ukraine controls on the eastern bank of Siverskyi Donets River.
Russia has been attacking towards Raihorodok (9) for several days now, without success.
The Sievierodonetsk area: In Sievierodonetsk, the primary fighting appears to be taking part on two main roads (11). The battle there is intense and consists of large amounts of artillery and brutal street to street fighting.
Reports from troops on the ground hint towards extremely high Russian casualties, but you can take that with a grain of salt.

Russia threw a lot of artillery and Su-25s to assist their assault of Ustynivka (12) but Ukraine still controls the town.
There is heavy fighting going on in Zolote (13), supported by enormous artillery barrages and attack helicopters. Russia is making progress, but Ukraine is holding on. Russia claims to control Komyshuvakha (14), but in reality they control about 50% of the town.
In Donetsk, Russia is firing artillery and mortars up and down the front line. Tonight Donetsk city, which is firmly under Russian occupation at the moment, was hit by artillery. Some suggest Russia fired into their own city. We'll need more information.
In Kherson, the Ukrainian counter offense is still going on, but the fog of war is great enough that I have no particular updates.

My daily update! #ukrdailyupdate

Starting in the Kharkiv area: Russia reportedly started a counter offensive today in Turove (1), Tsupivka (2), Ternova (3), Rubizhne (4), and in the direction of Staryi Saltiv (5). There is ongoing heavy combat in Ternova. Image
In the Izyum area: Russia attacked towards Virnopillya (6), Dovhenke (7), and Bohorodychne (8). They have been attacking these three settlements on an almost daily basis going back a week or longer. Image
They have been fighting near Dovhenke since around April 22nd or so and they have managed to lose ground while suffering extremely heavy losses.

Russia is trying to push south through the forest north of Svyatohirsk (9) but they are suffering very high casualties.

My daily update! Unless I missed something, today was a rather slow news day. #ukrdailyupdate

First, the Kharkiv area: Ukrainian forces are applying pressure to the Russians to push them towards the border, but the combat is relatively low intensity.
There has been news for weeks that attack helicopters have been regularly harassing Ukrainian forces in this area, and frankly all over the front lines everywhere, and today Russia sent attack helicopters to attack Slatyne and Dementiivka (1).
Ukraine is pushing north towards Lyptsi, and there is ongoing combat around Slobozhanske (2). There are ongoing battles for Ternova (3) and Rubizhne (4).

My almost daily update. #ukrdailyupdate.

The Kharkiv area: There has been ongoing fighting between Borschova and Lyptsi with the front line moving north and south between the two as the days come and go. As of now, the front line is somewhere around Slobazhanske (1).
A bit to the east, Ukraine pushed up and captured the town of Vesele (2). A few days ago I noted that Ukraine detected electronic warfare systems deployed in or around this town, so perhaps that was motivation to attack. Maybe they wanted to put pressure to the east of Lyptsi.
There is ongoing fighting in Ternova (3). I am not sure who controls what part of the town, but the main idea to remember is that Ukraine has built defenses south of the town and Russia has built defenses north of the town, and all of the things between are of lesser importance.

HIMARS fire a rocket that is GPS guided and has a range of about 80km. It explodes to release 404 baseball sized tungsten projectiles that each have the capability to penetrate 120mm of armor. I’m not 100% on blast radius, but I believe it is 50m or so.
These rockets will destroy tanks, apcs, ifvs, artillery, trucks, infantry. Pretty much everything the blast radius will be annihilated. Each HIMARS can shoot 6 of these rockets in a matter of seconds. A battery can shoot 48. It takes moments to reload, I believe under 2 minutes.
Imagine the damage this can deal. A battery can more or less annihilate entire BTGs in a single volley, reload, and destroy another in the course of a few minutes.

My daily update. #ukrdailyupdate. I do all of the research myself, if I see something I mark it down. Just trying to do my best to follow the war and report what I see. I usually start with Kharkiv, but today not much happened there so I will just post an image.
Izyum: I saw reports that Ukraine have control over all or most of the town of Dovhenke (1), and I have updated the map. There are also reports that Ukrainian fighter bombers attacked and destroyed Russian forces in the Dovhenke area, although I'm not sure of the location.
Russia tried to attack towards Bohorodychne supported by artillery and mortar fire, but were repelled (2). I have updated the Ukrainian line to be further north west as a result.

Mriya Aid is a canadian charity that provides nonlethal aid to Ukraine, including medical supplies, drones, and body armor. It delivers supplies directly to the front lines using connections with the Ukrainian government and military that were developed during Operation Unifier.
Operation Unifier was the Canadian response to the Ukrainian call for help in 2014 and consisted of the Canadian armed forces sending nearly a billion dollars in aid to Ukraine and helping, along with other NATO allies, to train the Ukrainian military. canada.ca/en/department-…
Every single penny you donate to Mriya Aid goes towards helping Ukraine. There is no overhead. The website is donated for free, the warehouse is donated, etc. Every penny you donate goes to buy nonlethal aid and send it where it is needed.
