Ukrainian Forces Advance: 0.70 km²

Advance = 0.70km2

Following on from their river crossing last week, Ukrainian forces have captured the majority of the eastern suburbs of Vovchansk. Russian forces in this are were forced to pull back, facing an attack from 3 sides, and at risk of being encircled. Both sides are still fighting in the centre of the town, with neither coming out on top.
Russian Forces Advance: 3.21 km²

Top Advance = 2.63km2, Bottom Advance = 0.58km2

Continuing their unexpected advance around Toretsk, Russian forces have captured the fields and canal area north of the pumping station, as well as entering the first streets of Pivnichne. Ukrainian forces are still skirmishing with the Russian assault groups, however, at this stage, they do not have a clear defence strategy like in other urban areas such as Chasiv Yar. Russian forces will almost certainly take the remaining fields on the eastern side of the canal, and continue their attacks into Pivnichne. The Russian grouping here is not large enough to take the entire Toretsk area, however they can capture a decent portion of it.
Russian Forces Advance: 0.67 km²

Advance = 0.67km2

Russian forces captured more of the railway area west of Ocheretyne, as part of their assault towards the Vovcha river (next to Prohres and Vovche).
Russian Forces Advance: 0.29 km²

Advance = 0.29km2

Russian forces captured another trenchline northeast of Kupyansk, in an opportunistic attack. The fields directly east and west of this push will likely fall to Russia over the next few days, as Ukrainian forces pull back to defensive positions along the stream (covered up by the watermark).
Russian Forces Advance: 2.82 km²

Advance = 2.82km2

Russian forces captured more of the fields and treelines along the Zherebets river, and entered the outskirts of Stelmakhivka, as part of the slow push towards the Oskil river. Ukraine may be forced to give up the remaining territory they hold on the east side of the Zherebets river, as Russian forces are also currently pushing south from Berestove (red dot above p in), threatening to cut them off from behind.
Russian Forces Advance: 2.10 km²

Advance = 2.10km2

As I predicted in my last post, with Russian having footholds in both the east and west of Rozdolivka, Ukraine was unable to hold the town, and today it has been confirmed that Russian forces have captured the majority of it. From here, Russian forces will likely clear the remaining northern street, before continuing their advance north towards Pereizne.
