Kharkiv
The AFU repulsed 4 attacks north of Kharkiv. This is unusual, this might be a reaction to the AFU offensive south of the city.
Locations: Udy, Kostyantynivka, Prudyanka and Rus'ki Tyshky
Balakliya - Kup'yans'k
Added Chkalovs'ke to liberated based on photo.
The AFU has reached Kup'yans'k, confirmed by photo. Reports state the AFU are trying to enter the city.
Kup'yans'k will most likely be where the RuAF try to halt the AFU offensive.
Fires are visible in the area north of Shevchenkove, this might indicate additional advance by the AFU to the north.
There are also fires directly east of Balakliya, I think it's possible the AFU are advancing south in this area.
GSUA reported RuAF are trying to evacuate wounded to Borodoyars'ke which would indicate there are still Russians in or close to Balakliya. I believe they are very close to being enriched.
There are rumors about AFU reaching multiple locations along the right bank of Oskil river, Sen'kove is one of them. I have seen no evidence of this, I will consider this a rumor at this point.
Izium, Bakhmut, Donetsk
The AFU repulsed attacks in the following areas:
Virnopillya, Zaitseve, Mykolaivka Druha, Kam'yanka, Avdiivka, Pobjeda
Kherson
The AFU repulsed an attack in Bezimenne.
Blahodativka liberated based on video.
There was some mentions I could not make sense of.
The AFU repulsed an attack in Ploske.
There was an air strike on Yuryvka.
There are rumors about fighting in the circled areas and around Lyman. I think it's possible since we have confirmed AFU presence in the area.
I believe this is the preparation of a bridge head for another offensive.
I saw a rumor about the Russians evacuating Izium. I now see claims the AFU are entering Izium. These are unconfirmed rumors, and a bit strange. GSUA reported RuAF attacking south of Izium today, that does not sound like their HQ is getting attacked.
Keep in mind, there is probably a lot of PSYOPS going on right now. It's not impossible some rumors of AFU advances are spread on purpose to make Russians give up or flee.
Changed Shevchenkove to liberated based on deepstates photo evidence. t.me/DeepStateUA/14…
Borivs'ke changed to liberated based on geolocation.
So if the RU army is is retreating to have artillery cover from the other side of the river, they face two problems.
First of all, they get squeezer in between the AFU and a river. That cant be good.
Secondly, the AFU has longer range artillery, so they might not need to worry that much about counter battery artillery since they can just stay out of range and still have complete fire control over the Russians.
I geolocated the location of the BTRs in this video to Kup'yans'k. I believe that part of the video is a few days old, the convoy seems to come from the bridge, and it has been blown up now.

Proof with very high quality drawing skills:
These locations could possibly be interesting too.
I'm changing the west side of Kup'yans'k to liberated based on geolocation. The rumors says RU evacuated the city, unsure if this includes the parts of the city east of the Oskil river.
