RU POV: Russian and Ukrainian advances from Day 1371 to 1373 of the War - Suriyakmaps

Russian Forces Advance: 1.94 km²

Upper Right Advance = 0.56km2, Middle Right Advance = 0.66km2, Left Bottom Advance = 0.27km2, Right Bottom Advance = 0.45km2

Starting off on the northern front, in Vovchansk, Russian forces continue to make progress in clearing the town, capturing a few more streets on the southeastern side. This puts them in control of about 80% of the settlement, although the last parts will be more tedious to capture due to being relatively spread out.

To the southwest, we now have an answer to the question from a week ago regarding which village Russia would attack next on this front, with the answer being both Lyman and Vilcha. Over the past week Russian assault groups have entered both settlements, where clashes are now occurring.

Russian Forces Advance: 6.74 km²

Upper Right Advance = 1.74km2, Bottom Advance = 5.00km2

Down to the northern side of the Chasiv Yar front, on the northeast side, Russia continues to activate previously inactive areas, making a smaller advance next to the village of Zaliznyanske.

To the southwest, over the past week Russian forces assaulted and captured the small village of Maiske as well as the adjacent trenches. This small village has little value, but it does open the way for a push further north to attack Markove.

Russian Forces Advance: 0.22 km²

Advance = 0.22km2

Over on the Kostyantynivka front, Russian assault groups pushed north from Yablunivka and captured a trench network south of the highway into the city.

Russian Forces Advance: 5.79 km²

Advance = 5.79km2

Northeast of Pokrovsk, Russia has once again gained ground around Sofiivka capturing several fields and treelines as they close in on the settlement.

Russian Forces Advance: 1.03 km²

Middle Right Advance = 0.37km2, Bottom Advance = 0.66km2

Moving onto Myrnohrad, Russian forces continue to slowly squeeze Ukrainian troops in the city, capturing several streets to the north and the last of the houses in the southern suburbs. This puts a little less than 50% of Myrnohrad under Russian control and they are heavily bombarding the remaining area.

Russian Forces Advance: 43.90 km²

Top Advance = 7.28km2, Upper Middle Advance = 3.34km2, Middle Advance = 31.80km2, Bottom Advance = 1.48km2

Heading to the Hulyaipole front, starting on the north side, Russian assault groups pushed back into Danylivka and recaptured the village along with the surrounding fields. They will likely move onto Ostapivske (slightly west of this advance) next as they try align the front along the Haichur River.

To the south, Russian forces have continued to make quick progress in clearing the area east of the Haichur River, capturing a large area of fields and treelines stretching all the way from Nove Zaporizhzhya down to Zelene, as well as entering the first houses of the village of Dobropillya (dot next to i). As I’ve mentioned a few times before, Ukraine is in full retreat across this front and is pulling back behind the Haichur River to their fortification line or to Hulyaipole, both of which have reportedly been reinforced.

Russian Forces Advance: 1.81 km²

Advance = 1.81km2

Following on from picture 1, Russian troops pushed further into Lyman, capturing the northern street and some of the adjacent forest area.

Ukrainian Forces Advance: 0.99 km²

Advance = 0.99km2

Onto the Kupyansk front, during the month of counterattacks Ukraine has been launching they have slowly been able to push through the forested areas next to Kindrashivka, entering the village on the southern side. Their goal will be the same as their previous attempts to take the settlement; pushing up the east side to encircle the Russian garrison.

Russian Forces Advance: 5.16 km²

Top Left Advance = 1.01km2, Upper Left Advance = 2.84km2, Far Left Advance = 0.22km2, Left Advance = 1.09km2

Following on from picture 4, on the north side, Russian assault groups captured a few more fields outside Sofiivka and have begun to push into the settlement.

Southwest, with Shakhove under their control Russian troops are now working on expanding the buffer around the town, recapturing some of the fields and treelines to the west.

Moving west, Russian troops from Nykanorivka have been pushing out of the village to try secure the surrounding area once again, capturing some of the treelines to the north and attacking west towards Dorozhnje.

Russian Forces Advance: 1.72 km²

Upper Left Advance = 0.97km2, Upper Right Advance = 0.25km2, Left Advance = 0.50km2

Following on from picture 5, Russia once again made a small advance in northern Myrnohrad, with no other notable changes to the situation in the city.

To the west, Russian assault groups have started to push out of Pokrovsk and enter the town of Hryshyne, where they are meeting strong resistance from the Ukrainian units in the settlement. This area is extremely messy as Ukraine is still launching attack after attack to try push back into Pokrovsk whilst at the same time Russia is attacking their positions in Hryshyne.

Going southwest, after another week of clashes Russian assault groups reportedly captured the coking coal mine north of Udachne. They will need to secure a buffer around it to prevent Ukrainian counterattacks, but if successful the deadlock in this area should be broken and they will be able to push north towards the E50 highway and the town of Serhiivka.

Ukrainian Forces Advance: 4.03 km²

Advance = 4.03km2

Over on the Novopavlivka front, Ukraine launched a second attempt to recapture the Ivanivka, using assault groups and a couple of vehicles to push into the western houses.

Russian Forces Advance: 4.95 km²

Advance = 4.95km2

Context

Heading to the Pokrovske front, after their capture of Tykhe late last week the Russian assault groups that took the village have moved west, taking over a large farm and the treelines up to the Vovcha River. This puts them right outside the village of Kolomiitsi, but it is hard to tell if they will be able to cross the river and assault the settlement.

Russian Forces Advance: 8.32 km²

Advance = 8.32km2

Context

Back to the Hulyaipole front, Russian assault groups reportedly entered the town from the east, taking over the outer houses as they work their way further in. There is some contention about whether it’s just a few DRGs in Hulyaipole or proper assault groups, but at the very least Russian shelling has intensified (video 1, video 2) as the battle begins.

Russian Forces Advance: 8.82 km²

Very Top Left Advance = 1.98km2, Top Left Advance = 2.43km2, Bottom Advance = 4.41km2

Swinging over to the Siversk front, with Zvanivka under their control Russian troops have moved north to capture the fields between it and Siversk, as well as crossing the Bakhmutovka River and beginning to attack Sviato-Pokrovske. If Russia can capture that village and the adjacent hills Ukraine will be unable to supply Siversk by land and the garrison will be trapped.

To the northwest, on the Lyman front, Russian troops further consolidated their positions in the forest near the town, taking over some fortifications along the road. This puts them in a good spot to assault Dibrova (top left blue dot), after which Ozerne (dot above @) be cut off.

Russian Forces Advance: 0.90 km²

Advance = 0.90km2

Following on from picture 2, Russian assault groups advanced further in Vasyukivka, taking over most of the village. They are clearing the last houses now, so it’s capture will be confirmed in a day or two unless Ukraine counterattacks. It seems this area was poorly defended and Ukraine did not expect the Russians to reactivate this part of the front.

Russian Forces Advance: 16.62 km²

Top Right Advance = 0.73km2, Upper Left Advance = 3.02km2, Bottom Left Advance = 12.87km2

Following on from picture 12, on the northeast side, Russian troops made a minor advance in the forest near Velykomykhailivka, as clashes continue.

To the southwest, after fending off some Ukrainian counterattacks towards Vidradne, Russian forces pushed out of the village and captured the treelines to the south. As mentioned before, they will want to push west and southwest to attack Andriivka and Ostapivske.

To the south, Russia captured more of the remaining fields east of the Haichur River and slightly expanded their control of the village of Dobropillya.
