RU POV: Russian and Ukrainian advances from Day 1350 to 1352 of the War - Suriyakmaps

Russian Forces Advance: 18.70 km²

Middle Left Advance = 6.05km2, Lower Middle Advance = 4.11km2, Bottom Advance = 8.54km2

Kicking off we begin in the Kharkiv border area, where Russian forces have continued to squeeze the small pocket that former around Dvorichanske. Northwest and southeast of the village the Russians managed to captured a number of fields, treelines and some smaller forested areas, getting close to completely cutting the settlement off. Most of the (relatively few) Ukrainian forces in this area seem to have withdrawn back towards Kolodyazne, as they are unable to deal with the Russian attacks from multiple sides. If Dvorichanske does still have a garrison they are in severe trouble as any further Russian push could cut them off, if they don’t simply assault the village first.

There was also some similar movements to the northwest, with other Russian groups heading towards the villages of Hryhorivka and Obukhivka.

Russian Forces Advance: 5.44 km²

Lower Middle Advance = 4.92km2, Bottom Advance = 0.52km2

Moving down to the Oskil River front, after Ukraine recaptured Borivska Andriivka last week in a counterattack the Russians quickly regrouped and launched a counterattack of their own, retaking several treelines, some trench networks and part of the small village. We will likely see a lot of back and forth over this area in the coming weeks as both sides try prevent the other from firmly establishing positions here.

Russian Forces Advance: 2.21 km²

Advance = 2.21km2

South of Kostyantynivka, the Russian assault on Ivanopillya is ongoing, with their infantry managing to slightly expand their small foothold in the eastern warehouses and capture a few more adjacent treelines.

Ukrainian Forces Advance: 14.56 km²

Advance = 14.56km2

Over on the Pokrovsk front, the Russian counterattack on the last remnants of the salient was short lived, with Ukraine launching new attacks and recapturing the lost positions around the quarries. If any Russian infantry remain in western Shakhove (doubtful), they are under threat of being attacked from behind and cut off.

Russian Forces Advance: 1.51 km²

Top Advance = 0.13km2, Upper Left Advance = 0.54km2, Upper Middle Advance = 0.84km2

Within Pokrovsk, Russia has made further progress towards completing their encirclement of Myrnohrad, capturing the northeastern houses and moving into Rivne (suburb, red dot above a), as well as other groups from Rodynske putting pressure on the roads north of the city and slightly expanding their control. Whilst not technically a full physical encirclement (still a 1.9km gap), it is essentially complete and there is almost no possible way out for the Ukrainian troops within the pocket.

To the west, Russia has also been bombarding Hryshyne heavily, as their troops captured the last houses of the Shcherbakova district in northwestern Pokrovsk. They have not yet made a move on the town but are certainly considering it or are at least trying to prevent any Ukrainian buildup in the area.

Russian Forces Advance: 3.60 km²

Advance = 3.60km2

Onto the Novopavlivka front, the small pocket that former north of Dachne has collapsed following Russian pressure from both the west and the east. Troops from Dachne have moved out and captured some of the nearby treelines, but the rest of the pocket is already being swept for any remaining Ukrainians.

Russian Forces Advance: 0.42 km²

Advance = 0.42km2

Swinging all the way back north to Vovchansk, over the past few days Russian assault groups cleared most of the southern industrial area of the town, establishing control over the last Ukrainian stronghold within the settlement. Whilst there are still some warehouses a little south of this and the streets to the east, it will be incredibly difficult for Ukraine to recover now so the town is all but lost to them.

This doesn’t mean Russia will quickly seize the remainder of Vovchansk however, as those eastern streets offer less cover and are more spread apart, so will take time to clear.

Russian Forces Advance: 1.10 km²

Advance = 1.10km2

Heading over to the Lyman front, we got our answer regarding where the Russian assault groups in the forest would head first, with their troops seen pushing south towards Yarova. Taking the settlement, which is pressed up against the Siverskyi Donets River, would split off the Lyman front from the Oskil River front and force all supplies to go over the river, but would also come with the risk of being attacked from both sides.

Ukrainian Forces Advance: 2.91 km²

Upper Upper Left Advance = 0.56km2. Lower Upper Left Advance = 0.45km2, Middle Left Advance = 1.90km2

Following on from picture 4, Ukraine once again pushed out east from Sofiivka and Shakhove, recapturing some treelines and fields next to the settlements.

Context

No advance

Following on from picture 5, Suriyak added chunks of greyzone to most of the remaining areas in Pokrovsk not under Russian control. Depending on which source you use there are either still some smaller pockets of Ukrainian soldiers in these areas (including one surrounded in the northeastern highrise district) or are empty after those soldiers fled/were cleared out. Regardless of which you believe, over 90% of Pokrovsk is under Russian control and those remaining areas are shrinking as we speak.

There are also heavy clashes continuing in Rodynske to the north, with no clear information of who is in control of what parts of the town (should be more greyzone).

Russian Forces Advance: 20.44 km²

Middle Right Advance = 5.24km2, Bottom Advance = 15.20km2

Following on from picture 6, the following day Russian forces were confirmed to have cleared the remainder of the small Dachne pocket (few treelines and fortifications so it was quick).

Northeast of this, other Russian groups pushed back over the Oblast border north of Horikhove and recaptured the fields and treelines lost to a small Ukrainian counterattack a few weeks back. At this point most Russian units here are focusing solely on Novopavlivka, with some assault groups already in the southern half of the town.

Ukrainian Forces Advance: 1.04 km²

Advance = 1.04km2

Over on the Sumy front, over the past week Ukraine quickly regrouped after their failed assault on Oleksiivka and are already sending infantry groups back into the village. This is yet another area on a relatively unimportant front with fewer troops where we see a lot of back and forth over the same settlement.

Russian Forces Advance: 0.57 km²

Middle Right Advance = 0.05km2, Lower Right Advance = 0.19km2, Bottom Advance = 0.33km2

Following on from picture 7, Russia made further advances within Vovchansk, moving south into the previously mentioned warehouses and also east towards the residential areas.

To the southwest, Suriyak has made a minor correction with Ukraine still in control of the trenches south of Synelnykove (were greyzone in earlier update). Fighting is ongoing over this area now.

Russian Forces Advance: 0.18 km²

Advance = 0.18km2

Back down to the Kostyantynivka front, Russia made a minor advance on the northern side of the Kleban-Byk Reservoir, starting to move into the forest that wraps around that side.

To the northeast, Russian DRGs continue to operate within Kostyantynivka and have evaded Ukrainian attempts to wipe them out. Assault groups have not yet entered the city, but the greyzone in the southeastern streets has slowly grown over time as the DRGs move deeper into Kostyantynivka.

Russian Forces Advance: 3.01 km²

Upper Right Advance = 0.75km2, Middle Right Advance = 0.62km2, Right Advance = 0.75km2, Far Left Advance = 0.89km2

Following on from picture 10, Russia secured more of the buildings in northeastern Pokrovsk and is now pushing into Rivne. Securing this suburb and then pushing north would allow Russia to complete the physical encirclement, but they may just choose to assault Myrnohrad from the west side instead.

To the east, Russian assault groups on the other side of Myrnohrad slightly expanded their foothold, trying to capture the apartments on the eastern edge of the city.

Out west, after they failed to consolidate positions in the coking coal mine a few weeks ago Russian assault groups have once again moved in, this time on the east side. The mine has been heavily damaged during the fighting so entering and securing any buildings here is difficult.

Russian Forces Advance: 2.55 km²

Bottom Left Advance = 0.69km2, Bottom Advance = 1.86km2

Moving onto the Hulyaipole front, after a few more days of fighting Russia cleared central Uspenivka, with Ukrainian troops fleeing into the fields west and abandoning the remaining houses. Russia is still working on clearing these last buildings but this will be completed soon as they are facing almost no resistance.

Northwest of this, other Russian assault groups have used the treelines along the gulley to move from Pryvilne and attack Solodke, where clashes have commenced.

Russian Forces Advance: 2.82 km²

Advance = 2.82km2

Finally heading out west to the Zaporizhia front, Russia has expanded its control of the dachas and southern streets in Prymorske, with DRGs pushing much further north through the town. The best way to describe the fighting here is ‘wack-a-mole’, with both sides’ drone teams trying to find and hit all the enemy infantry groups spread out throughout the area (video 1, video 2, video 3, whilst their own attempt to do the same.

For this reason I believe the greyzone should be much wider than shown here (so less RU territory in the south), as it is clear neither side a has control of most Prymorske bar the northern section (for Ukraine) and the southernmost streets (for Russia).
