GSUA mentioned 106 shelling locations today.

Kharkiv
RuAF attacked in the direction of Kostyantynivka, it was repulsed by the AFU. Status of Udy is still a bit unclear since GSUA still reports shellings in the town.

I've seen reports on twitter about Kutuzivka being liberated, I did not have a clue it was captured. This is nothing that I have been able to confirm. Adding it to the map anyway, there has been talk about a RU offensive in the area.

Balakliya offensive
GSUA stated the AFU have advanced 50km in to previous occupied territory, this would put them about 13km from Kup'yans'k if they came from Balakliya.
RU channels are reporting the AFU are about 10km from Kup'yans'k .

I believe the actual line of progress is wider than on my map, but this is the confirmed advance by images, videos and official statements.

Rumors state the AFU are advancing to the south east from Kharkiv in this area too, and possibly a jump across the river south of Balakliya. These are unconfirmed rumors.

Izium
South of Izium, RuAF attacked in the direction of Dibrovne and Dovhen'ke, the AFU successfully defended their positions.

Siversk
Ozerne was liberated according to GSUA, so they probably read my report yesterday🤣
A RuAF attack was repulsed in the Hryhorivka area.

Bakhmut
RuAF attacked in the area of Soledar, Zaitseve, Mykolaivka Druha and Mayorsk. Without success.

Donetsk
RuAF attacked Kam'yanka, Pervomais'ke and Nevel's'ke. GSUA stated the attacks were unsuccessful.

Kherson
I'm seeing rumors about AFU breaking the defenses of 20th Guards Motor Rifle Division in the area of Ternovi Pody, Vitaliy Kim stated there are some good news in the south.

Things are almost progressing faster than I can make this post. I would like to state, I'm trying to post confirmed things and keep the rumor spreading to a minimum. But it's also impossible to completely leave out rumors.

I get PMs from time to time with links to information. A lot of them starts with "You have probably seen this".
I just want to say, 50% of the time I have not.

I would like to thank everyone helping me by sending me information.

I forgot this.
I consider Borshchivka, Yakovenkove, Verbivka, Volokhiv Yar and Ivanivka liberated based on photos and videso. Status of Balakliya is still a bit unclear even if there has been multiple videos/photos from there.

I'm not sure the AFU can take Kup'yans'k fast, but they might be able to encircle it. There are also talk about RU reserves being moved in to the area, and i think it's likely they will try to defend around Kup'yans'k.

I also think UA are expecting a reinforcement, and it will be very interesting to see how they handle it.

I saw some rumors about Ukrain in Chkalovs'ke yesterday. This post might support a NW->SE advance by the AFU.

This is another indicator of a NW->SW axis for the AFU offensive.
