RU POV: Russian and Ukrainian advances from Day 1501 to 1507 of the War - Suriyakmaps

Russian Forces Advance: 6.80 km²

Advance = 6.80km2

Beginning today’s post we are on the Sumy front, where over the past days Russia has captured more treelines and fields south of Varachyne, before moving into the forest area north of Nova Sich. Like with their advance into Mala Korchakivka last week, they are trying to reach the belt of settlements that runs along the Oleshnya River and take control of them for possible operations into the large forest near Sumy city.

Russian Forces Advance: 2.28 km²

Advance = 2.28km2

On the eastern part of the Sumy border area, Russian soldiers crossed the border in yet another spot, this time west of Popovka capturing the village of Myropilske. If the former sounds familiar its because this was the village Ukraine tried and failed to capture in their Belgorod border incursion during early 2025 after the collapse of the Kursk front.

Now Russia has been building their presence on the other side of the border and their foothold continues to grow, with other reports suggesting they have advanced north and south of what is pictured here as well.

Ukrainian Forces Advance: 11.37 km²

Advance = 11.36km2

Over on the Kharkiv border area, Ukraine launched several attacks over the past couple of weeks, managing to recapture some treelines and small forest areas north of Ambarne, before reaching the outskirts of Milove. This does improve their positions in Ambarne but Russia has not shown an interest in attacking it yet (have been near it for months), meaning Ukraine might be trying to reestablish the border line in this region.

Russian Forces Advance: 26.08 km²

Advance = 26.08km2

Heading to the Kupyansk front, over the past week Russia has continued working on the fields east of Kivsharivka, forcing Ukraine out of the thinner treelines and trench networks in the area. I don’t entirely agree with Suriyak marking this area as Russian controlled, as they have not consolidated in a large portion of it (should be greyzone), but it is true that remaining Ukrainian troops had to abandon the area.

This ramps up the pressure on the towns along the Oskil River, with increasing numbers of Russian DRGs managing to infiltrate into KupyanskVuzlovyi and Kindrashivka. If they can straighten out the frontline here and consolidate in the fortifications Russia will be able to begin the assault of Novoosynove, Hlushkivka and/or Kivsharivka.

Russian Forces Advance: 2.75 km²

Advance = 2.75km2

Down to the Lyman front, Russia and Ukraine continue to clash over positions outside of the town, with Russia trying to capture some of the trenches along the eastern road, whilst Ukraine moved back into the dachas a little to the south.

Russian Forces Advance: 6.00 km²

Middle Left Advance = 2.90km2, Lower Left Advance = 0.68km2, Bottom Advance = 2.42km2

Moving to the Siversk front, over the past week Russia made another couple of smaller advances around Kryva Luka, Kalenyky and Nykyforivka, with other DRG groups moving further forwards as they have done before.

Simultaneously, to the north Ukraine has push Russia out of their foothold in Ozerne, whilst clashes are ongoing in Yampil as Russia tries to drive out the Ukrainian DRGs that infiltrated the previous week.

Russian Forces Advance: 3.08 km²

Upper Right Advance = 0.45km2, Bottom Advance = 2.63km2

Onto the Kostyantynivka front, on the east side Russia recaptured some positions along the H-32 road (again), whilst to the southwest their assault groups are trying to push further into Illinivka.

Russian Forces Advance: 2.19 km²

Advance = 2.16km2

Over on the Dobropillya front, Russian troops managed to recapture the quarry and dachas northeast of Nove Shakhove. There has been a lot of back and forth in this area so it wouldn’t surprise me if this section changes hands a few more times in the next month or two.

No Advance

On the Pokrovsk front, north of the city Russia continues to send DRGs out into the fields in their attempts to establish positions near Shevchenko. At the same time Ukraine has been counterattacking back into northern Hryshyne (under the k) for yet another week.

Ukrainian Forces Advance: 2.32 km²

Advance = 2.32km2

Down to the Novopavlivka front, after another month of positional fighting Ukraine has managed to recapture the centre of the town, now attempting to consolidate and push the Russians out of the outer streets.

Context

Russian Forces Advance: 3.71 km²

Top Right Advance = 2.64km2, Upper Right Advance = 1.05km2

Moving to the Pokrovske front, on the east side Russian assault groups managed to counterattack and drive out the Ukrainian assault forces in Ternove and Berezove before they could consolidate, recapturing both villages.

No Advance

Heading to the Hulyaipole front, across the entire area Russia has ramped up its DRG operations, sending many small groups out into the fields in their attempts to destabilise the Ukrainian defences. There is also an enormous amount of pressure being exerted on Verkhnya Tersa (east of Kopani) and Vozdvyzhivka (northeast of Rivne), as they are under heavy daily bombardment as Russia prepares to assault the key localities.

Ukrainian Forces Advance: 12.35 km²

Advance = 12.33km2

Out on the Zaporizhia front, Ukraine managed to recapture the greyzone in and between the villages of Zapasne, Novoboikivske and Novoyakovlivka after over a month of positional fighting. Clashes are ongoing over Pavlivka to the south of these, whilst Russia also tries to improve their control of the fields near the road to Mali Shcherbaky.
