Russian Forces Advance: 5.50 km²

Top Advance = 2.39km2, Other advance = 3.11km2 (white area from yesterday's update).

Following on from yesterday, clashes continue north of Ocheretyne. Russia has continued its breakout, and has taken over more of Arkhanhelske (about 65% of the village now). Ukrainian forces are still trying to hold the trenches west of the village, but will likely fall back over the river to avoid encirclement in the coming days (pic below).

As mentioned yesterday, Russian forces were still clearing the central trench area, which got confirmed as cleared right about the same time I made the post. Suriyak did not include it in their update today, but I have included the area change as I did not include it in the advances yesterday.

From here, Russia will continue to press its advantage and advance north to the village of Kalynove, as well as push northwest to attack Noovoleksandrivka.

Russian Forces Advance: 1.93 km²

Advance = 1.93km2

As mentioned previously, due to the lack of forces in this area, Russia has been able to make small opportunistic advances into Urozhaine. Russia will continue to slowly push north and recapture the town it lost in the counteroffensive in 2023. A large advance/offensive towards Velyka Novosilka is not expected, as this area has not been a priority for either side for some time, although it cannot be completely ruled out for the future.
