On the northwestern flank of Lyman and in the Borova direction, both Russian and Ukrainian forces have advanced, with Russian forces making new progress in several different areas.
In the north, the Russians began a new series of attacks aimed at fully securing the eastern bank of the Nitrius River. After withdrawing from the centre and part of eastern Ridkodub, they began attacking west again, capturing the eastern houses and the agricultural buildings, and reaching the centre of the village again. Russian soldiers have not secured the local school due to its proneness to Ukrainian glide-bomb strikes, leaving it in the grey zone. Additionally, they were able to recapture the northeastern part of Karpivka, as well as the surrounding positions in the forest plantations.
To the southwest, Russian forces continued their attacks through the Sviati Hory National Park. They advanced further south to the railway line, capturing two train stations and reaching the northwestern outskirts of Yarova. They also marginally advanced to the west towards Sosnove.
Meanwhile, Ukrainian forces consolidated in the southeastern part of Yarova and pushed the Russians out of the forests to the northeast. In turn, Russian forces have begun attacking towards northern Yarova from the forests southwest of Novoselivka.
To the east, after being pushed out for a short period of time, Russian forces re-secured a foothold in the northern part of Stavky and began attacks to the centre of the village. They were able to establish control over the local school and surrounding residential streets and are now pushing towards the southern outskirts.
+ ~9.12 km² in favour of Russia.
+ ~3.44 km² in favour of Ukraine.

⚡️🇬🇧🇸🇾Reuters: Britain has officially removed sanctions on Syrian President Ahmed al-Sharaa and Interior Minister Anas Khattab, following a parallel decision by the UN Security Council.
These sanctions were originally imposed in 2014, and included travel bans, asset freezes and arms embargoes linked to ties with al-Qaeda and ISIS. The UN cited a lack of current connections as a reason for lifting the measures.
The decision signals a broader shift in Western policy toward Syria, prioritising reconstruction, regional stability and reintegration of Damascus into international frameworks.

Update from the Pokrovsk direction:
While Myrnohrad is still yet to be physically cut off, movement in and out of the city is not currently happening due to Russian fire control and the activity of DRG units. Russian forces are making progress elsewhere, though.
The main news comes from northeastern Pokrovsk, where after some Ukrainian withdrawals took place, Russian forces were able to physically encircle some Ukrainian formations in the high-rise part of the Dinas District. They captured the small industrial zone on the edge of the city and secured the first street in the village of Rivne. Clearing operations continue in Dinas, with Russian forces capturing several more high-rise buildings.
In eastern Pokrovsk, the Russians captured the last residential areas there and advanced to the neighbouring warehouses and forested areas.
At the bottom of the Myrnohrad pocket, Russian forces finally established full control over Lysivka after around 13 months of battles for the village. They also captured new positions in the treelines and forests to the northwest and began pushing further east, bypassing Sukhyi Yar from the north. Fighting continues in the centre of Sukhyi Yar.
In northeastern Myrnohrad, Russian forces captured several more high-rise buildings and advanced further in the low-rise residential area. They are also attempting to reach the southwestern part of the high-rise district, bombing Ukrainian positions ahead of them with FAB glide-bombs.
In the Myrnohrad pocket bottleneck, Russian DRGs continue to operate in the grey zone. No consolidation has occurred here yet.
In Rodynske, extremely heavy fighting continues. Both sides are attempting to advance, with positions constantly changing hands. Massive amounts of fire power are being concentrated on this area as Ukraine tries to break through to the rear of the northern Russian pincer, while Russia tries to push the Ukrainians back out of Rodynske.
In northern Pokrovsk, Russian forces continue their clearing operations and are fighting for the remaining grey zone. Ukrainian assault groups are complicating their consolidation efforts and preventing them from securing the whole city.
In the Udachne area, the Russians recaptured positions along the road to the eastern part of the Pokrovsk Coal Mine.
