Russia has continued to diminish Ukrainian control within the Kursk region, crossing the Snagost’ River into Dar’ino and repelling last week’s Ukrainian attempt to hold the line at Novoivanovka. Additionally, Russian forces are clearing grey zones in the northwest.
Russia has secured control of the settlement of Plekhovo in the southeast of Ukraine’s incursion.
Russia has taken positions in the east of Kurakhove and likely now controls Dal’nje to its south. Further advances along the Sukhi Yaly River have resulted in the capture of Antonivka.
Forward Russian elements cut through the outskirts and entered the centre of the city of Kup’yans’k, which lies along both banks of the Oskil River.
After months of stalemate near the canal, Russian forces have been observed this week in the centre of Chasiv Yar, advancing 1.5 km deeper into the town than previously assessed.
Further south, Russian units have established new positions along the canal's edge.
South of Pokrovsk, Russian forces have continued their westward advance from Selydove and Hirnyk, capturing Novoselydivka and pushing into Sontsivka and Bretsky.
Following a period of relative stability southwest of Velyka Novosilka, Russian forces have resumed their offensive, approaching the first main line of Ukrainian fortifications in the area.
Additionally, Russia has secured the settlement of Vyshneve, located south of their previous gains at Pishchane.
As with all updates, an explorable summary is available on Soar a day early. soar.earth/maps/81584

While attention has been on the unexpected 🇺🇦 advances in Kursk, 🇷🇺 advances across the line have continued within 🇺🇦.
🇷🇺 advances along the rail line between Avdiivka and Pokrovsk have continued for another week.
🇷🇺 has also gained ground within, as well as south of, Kostyantynivka. Most of the highway to Vuhledar is now contested space.
🇷🇺 has advanced beyond, and therefore also captured, the settlement of Novoselivs’ke in Luhansk Oblast. Clashes for this settlement have been ongoing for over a year.
