I also added the forest left of Izium to liberated, it's just a matter of the AFU making sure it's clear at this point. This was suggested by @emilkastehelmi and I agree.
According to Ukrainian general staff:
"The enemy continues to suffer losses. In the Kharkiv direction, enemy units from the 3rd Motorized Rifle Division of the 20th Combined Arms Army were left without means of support, and the personnel were in a panicked mood."
So far today I have changed 368 km2 to liberated, this is more than half of what RuAF managed to capture in 3 months.
And it's only 1 o'clock.
I did not count the Izium forest area.
According to pro russian map maker, RuAF have more or less evacuated the area north of Kharkiv city. Consider this unconfirmed.
GSUA reported an attack in the area of Sosnivka today.
Changing Velyki Prokhody to liberated.
Non geolocated video. but it's obvious the Russians are on the run.
It seems the RuAF defenses has completely collapsed and they are running for the border, it will take time for the AFU to catch up and advance in a safe manner. This is why I have lowered the requirement a bit for what I report.
I now consider Tokarivka liberated with surrounding settlements.
No AFU visible, but I'm sure the Russians are gone.
The size of the liberated area I've been able to confirm today amounts to 1509km2
This is colored in a darker blue.
GSUA reported 111 shelling locations todyay.
According to GSUA, the Russians attacked in two locations today, Velyki Prokhody and Sosnivka. Pretty strange considering the reports of them withdrawing, but it could also be reports lagging behind.
The usual crap along he Bakhmut - Donesk front. I'm not going to list them all as it's the same as usual.
Except for the attack around Ozeryanivka, I'm pretty sure i got the wrong one.
GSUA stated:
The liberation of settlements from the Russian invaders continues. In the Kherson region, the occupiers also withdrew from their positions in some settlements.
There were two strange things in Kherson.
Sofiivka was shelled (there is one other possible location, but I think its this one)
and Zori was shelled, which I cant find.
They decided to go and stand on this little piece of road right here.

There is some kind of local deal where Estonians are allowed to drive over that little stretch of Russian land if they don't stop. news.err.ee/1609827133/ppa…
Rough infil/exfil path of the UVU shooter, based on photos, videos and eye whitness reports. Green arrows are guestimated paths between sightings.
In the start of this video, the UVU shooter can be seen walking towards the campus, at the end he can be seen running away from it.

Ukrainian Drone hit the Deng Xiaoping Logistics Complex which is part of the Alabuga Special Economical Zone. The Alabuga SEZ is where they produce the Shahed drone.
The DXLC is a railway logistics center being built in partnership with China to support the fast growing Alabuga SEZ.
At the actual SEZ they are expanding at a rapid pace, they are building on site housing and/or office space for tens of thousands of employees. Their goal is likely to significantly scale up the production of drones.
The reason the confidence is low, is a lack of data. They simply dont have enough information to know yet. Desplite that, the US President proclaims complete destruction, an assesment likely based more on his whishes than any intelligence.
Furthermore, they are trying to supress any discussion about this and might actually prevent the DIA to do their job properly, they know a negative report will not be precieved well by the White House.
Hegseth also tells a story which does not align with reality. We have all seen the pictures. There isnt a mountain of rubble. Hegseth says he have seen it all, and i wonder if it was during his time as prison guard or if it was during his time as a instructor?
