First, the Avdiivka area. I changed the area between Novoselivka Druha and Krasnohorivka to a gray area (A). I am not sure if Russia ever really controlled that area.
Russians claim they are attacking Avdiivka from the direction of Spartak. They may be attacking Zenit. I am not sure. I have the arrow pointing at Avdiivka, but they may mean Zenit. (B)
Russians claim a Ukrainians pushed them back several hundred meters near Sjeverne. I cannot confirm this, but I marked a gray area (C).
Near Marinka, Russia has advanced toward Pobjeda (D).
The Russian area of control near Vuhledar is clarified. It looks kinda like a bird sitting on Mykilske (E).
Clarification of Russian control around Nevelske (F).
Russians advance and capture most if not all of the eastern side of the Bakhmut river (G). The area I marked with blue lines could still be contested. It may be captured by now, though.
This area north of Bakhmut, the Russians appear to be expanding their area of control, but I don't know the full extent so I just expanded the gray area.

I don't have much news for today, so this will be light.
There were a lot of shelling reports out of Sumy today. I do not believe any of these targets were shelled very heavily. Likely 2 or 3 shells in each location.
Russians continue their attacks around Kreminna without any success.
Russians are heavily shelling Kupyansk, Dvorichna, Petropavlivka, and the areas between them. They are looking for crossing points across the Oskil river north of Dvorichna, and we may see an attempt to cross the river in the future.
Russians have made several attempts to attack Novoselivske (1) and Stelmakhivka (2) without success.
Lately there have been rumors of Ukraine recapturing Hryanykivka. I asked for clarification of this position. First, the town is mostly a gray area. A no mans land. Russia never captured the town.
I've marked their area of control in the forests. Nobody is defending positions within the town, it is too dangerous.
In the Avdiivka area, Russia has progress near Sjeverne and Pervomaiske.
Russians cry of explosions in Donetsk, Makiivka, Khartsyzk, Debaltsevo, Ilovaisk, and Mariupol.
Donetsk and Makiivka are both basically in artillery range so not too interesting. Ilovaisk is a railway hub that Ukraine regularly shoots missiles into. Kartsyzk is town north of Ilovaisk. Debaltseve is like halfway between Horlivka and Alchevsk so easily HIMARS range.
Mariupol is the big questionmark here. Or exclamation point, depending how you look at it.
In the Kupyansk area there is ongoing fighting in the forests. Ukraine performed heavier than usual artillery strikes in this area. I don't know of any territorial changes.
The Kreminna and Siversk areas are more or less status quo. Fighting in the forests near Kreminna, fighting near Bilohorivka south of Kreminna, and minor fighting in all of the front line towns around Siversk. No changes.
