RU POV: Russian and Ukrainian advances from Day 1392 to 1395 of the War - Suriyakmaps

Russian Forces Advance: 0.23 km²

Advance = 0.23km2

Opening with the Oskil River front, Russian forces have continued to leap frog along a line of trench networks northeast of Novoplatonivka, now occupying the one next to the main road that runs parallel to the river. Whilst Suriyak has indicated that the road is cut, Ukraine still has supply to that small pocket as it all runs through the paths in the forest to the west. Still, the situation is definitely tense as the pocket could be cut off if Russia are able to bring more troops in and move into said forest.

Russian Forces Advance: 1.42 km²

Advance = 1.42km2

Onto the Dobropillya front, as part of their counterattacks around the former salient, Russian troops recaptured the clay quarry near Nove Shakhove. Their pushes here are sporadic and infantry based, but they are gradually recapturing the territory they lost in October and early November.

Ukrainian Forces Advance: 1.23 km²

Advance = 1.23km2

Down to the Pokrovsk front, north of the city, Ukraine counterattacked and managed to recapture one of the livestock farms along the road east of Hryshyne. Myrnohrad is still thoroughly encircled, but Ukraine is still trying to work their way back towards the city. Counterattacks towards Pokrovsk are also ongoing, but the DRGs and individual vehicles sent in by Ukraine haven’t been able to make any progress so far.

Over in Myrnohrad, Russia continues to squeeze the last remnants of the encirclement, beginning to assault the central district of the city.

Russian Forces Advance: 6.96 km²

Upper Middle Advance = 0.05km2, Middle Advance = 0.84km2, Bottom Advance = 6.07km2

Moving to the Hulyaipole front, within the town, Russia captured more of the southern streets, as heavy clashes continue in the centre of the settlement. There has been an enormous amount of footage released of the fighting due to all the drone and supporting units present, some of which I’ll link (video 1, video 2, video 3, video 4, video 5, video 6, video 7).

Given Ukraine has lost control over most of southern Hulyaipole, to the south a few Russian groups have become active near Dorozhnyanka, moving out into the treelines and fields that Ukraine is no longer able to contest. This is the first time this particular stretch of front has moved in over 2 years.

Russian Forces Advance: 4.49 km²

Top Right Advance = 2.48km2. Middle Right Advance = 1.66km2, Lower Right Advance = 0.35km2

Swinging up to the northern front, Russian forces have expanded the buffer around Vovchansk, moving south into the treelines next to the town.

To the south, the assault on Vilcha is ongoing, with Russian forces managed to capture the remainder of houses on the southeast side. Only the southwestern quarter of the village remains under Ukrainian control, where fighting is ongoing.

Ukrainian Forces Advance: 0.73 km²

Middle Left Advance = 0.63km2, Lower Left Advance = 0.10km2

Over in Kupyansk, Ukraine’s counterattacks continue, with their forces capturing more of the houses in the central and southwestern streets. Russia is continuing to pull its forces back towards the very centre of the town, where they are evacuating them in small groups to the eastern side of Kupyansk.

Russian Forces Advance: 3.37 km²

Top Left Advance = 0.66km2, Upper Left Advance = 0.44km2, Upper Middle Advance = 0.95km2, Middle Advance = 1.32km2

Down to the Lyman front, the Russian assault on Ozerne is ongoing, with their forces managing to take the westernmost houses and the remainder of the north side. Whilst not easy to see here, the lakes in and around Ozerne are complicating the movement of both Russian and Ukrainian forces, limiting supply and rotation routes.

To the southeast, there was also a minor Russian advance in the hills north of Sviato-Pokrovske, with Russia taking over a couple of treelines.

Russian Forces Advance: 9.06 km²

Top Right Advance = 4.94km2, Upper Right Advance = 4.12km2

Heading to the southern side of the Siversk front, due to the Russian capture of Pazeno and Vasyukivka the other week, Russian troops have been able to capture some of the surrounding area, taking over the hills and fortifications north of Fedorivka (above the p), as well as the treekubes between Pazeno and Vasyukivka (above the a).

Russian Forces Advance: 0.75 km²

Upper Right Advance = 0.37km2, Middle Right Advance = 0.38km2

Following on from picture 3, Russian assault groups were confirmed to have captured more of Myrnohrad and its surrounds, taking over the last streets of Svitle (above the k) and some of the houses on the northwest side of the city, as well as more of central Myrnohrad.

Russian Forces Advance: 1.27 km²

Advance = 1.27km2

Over on the Novopavlivka front, whilst Ukraine has continued to counterattack the Russian supply routes into the town over the past 2 weeks, Russia also launched a counterattack of its own, capturing some of the trenches in the forest next to Filiya. Whilst Suriyak shows a decent chunk of Novopavlivka as being under Russian control, there are likely few troops left here as getting reinforcements or supplies is incredibly difficult due to the loss of the neighbouring treelines.

Russian Forces Advance: 0.53 km²

Advance = 0.53km2

Moving to the Pokrovske front, Russia has maintained their attempts to build a bridgehead on the west side of the Haichur River, managing to bring more infantry squads across who have captured the locality of Pishchane (really just a couple of farms) and are also trying to clear the nearby villages of Harasymivka and Zarichne.

Russian Forces Advance: 2.13 km²

Advance = 2.13km2

Out on the Zaporizhia front, over the past 2 weeks Russia has sent a small number of assault groups northeast of Stepnohirsk. These troops have cleared and captured a number of trenches that are part of the Ukrainian defence line in the area and also managed to reach the outskirts of Lukyanivske. As we saw on the Hulyaipole front over the past few months, Ukraine’s defence line is working against it here, as the Russians are now using the trenches as cover to advance along it and reach Ukrainian positions.

Russian Forces Advance: 0.61 km²

Advance = 0.61km2

Following on from picture 9, northwest of Pokrovsk Russia has continued their assault attempts in Hryshyne, managing to push slightly further into the town. Any advance here is extremely difficult due to the sheer number of Ukrainian units deployed in this area.

To the southeast, the organised defence of Myrnohrad has ceased, with the last remnants of the garrison now isolated in basements spread out across the remaining buildings. Russia is moving into this area, but clearly does not look to be in a rush as they gradually clear each building one by one, or level them with FABs/Artillery/MLRS if they spot Ukrainian troops concentrations. Noting this, we should see Myrnohrad completely under Russian control by the end of the year.

Russian Forces Advance: 7.72 km²

Top Left Advance = 6.12km2, Lower Left Advance = 1.60km2

Back to the Hulyaipole front, Russia has expanded its bridgehead next to Dobropillya, capturing more of the fortifications and treelines around the Haichur River. As mentioned in an earlier comment, Russia needs to push north to capture Kosivtseve and Ternuvate to solidify their control of this area, as currently their troops are just positions in some trenches and treelines with awkward supply routes over the river.

Ukrainian Forces Advance: 0.33 km²

Middle Left Advance = 0.17km2, Lower Left Advance = 0.16km2

Following on from picture 6, after Russian troops withdrew from the northern side of Western Kupyansk Ukrainian forces moved in, capturing the stadium two of the schools and some highrises. As it stands Ukraine will likely recapture western Kupyansk by the end of the year, with Russia focusing on pulling its forces out across the river and making Ukrainian progress as costly as possible (video 1, video 2, video 3, video 4, video 5, video 6, video 7, video 8, video 9, video 10, video 11).

Context

Russian Forces Advance: 1.07 km²

Advance = 1.07km2

Following on from picture 2, after a few weeks of positional battles Russian forces managed to capture the remainder of Sofiivka, confirming full control over the village. Due to the intense bombardment over many months the settlement is in ruins, so Russia will have to cross the Kazenyi Torets River to assault neighbouring Toretske before they can secure the area.

Ukrainian Forces Advance: 1.16 km²

Advance = 1.16km2

West of Pokrovsk, over the past two weeks Ukraine launched a series of counterattacks around the coking coal mine, managing to push back into the northern buildings of the complex.

To the southwest, Russia has been probing and launching smaller raids in Novopidhorodne, turning more of the village into greyzone as they haven’t stayed to consolidate in any of the areas they moved into.
