In the Richky direction, over the past few days Russian forces have resumed attempts at regaining full control over the Glushkovsky District of Kursk Oblast.

Russian forces began a series of attacks towards the heavily entrenched Ukrainian positions in and around the Novyi Put Tract. They attacked south down two parallel treelines, entering the tract from the northwest. Other forces improved their positions along the railway line and consolidated in the rest of a perpendicular treeline. Heavy fighting is ongoing, with Ukrainian forces using a significant number of drones to repel the attacks.

+ ~0.19 km² in favour of Russia.

In the Khotin and Yunakivka directions, Russian forces intensified their assault operations aimed at recapturing previously lost positions in Sumy Oblast.

In the west, Ukrainian forces once again attempted to infiltrate the western part of Oleksiivka via the agricultural buildings. Russian forces then launched a series of counterattacks and cleared these buildings, before beginning a push down the road to Andriivka. At the same time, Ukrainian forces continued attempts at entering and entrenching in the eastern part of Oleksiivka.

To the east, multiple Russian assault groups used an underground pipeline to attack Ukrainian positions to the rear of Varachyne. Ukrainian formations stationed in the area were aware of this pipe and immediately fired on Russian soldiers emerging from it. Nevertheless, the numbers of Russian soldiers who emerged were too high for the Ukrainians to contain, forcing them to withdraw from the area. The surviving Russian soldiers established control over some treeline positions, and Ukrainian drones are trying to pick them off. Two attempts at reconnecting with other forces to the northwest failed with casualties.

Meanwhile, due to the complicated situation for Ukraine and the disruption of their supply routes, Russia was able to enter the northern part of Varachyne relatively unopposed and consolidate in the houses there. Attempts are now underway to establish control over the rest of the village. Other forces advanced west of Varachyne, capturing new treeline positions on the tactical heights.

In the east, following earlier unsucessful attacks and consolidation attempts, Russian forces resumed assault operations in the village of Yunakivka and recaptured positions in the southern part of the village. They are now consolidating and attempting to accumulate additional infantry in order to establish control over the last parts of the village.

+ ~3.97 km² in favour of Russia.

In the Velykyi Burluk direction, Russian forces continued to advance towards the Verkhnya Dvurichkova River, capturing additional positions on the tactical heights.

In the southeast, after entering the large forest southeast of Dvorichanske, Russian forces were able to advance further north and establish full control over it, entrenching on the edge of the tactical heights. They then went on to capture further positions in the forested areas to the north, while other forces established control over the forests and treelines on the tactical heights to the east and northeast. Additionally, the Russians captured a small forest northeast of Dvorichanske, further approaching the village from this direction.

To the northwest, following earlier advances on the flanks, Russian forces improved their positions along a treeline west of Odradne, before securing the northern end of the adjacent gulley, largely levelling the frontline in this sector.

+ ~12.39 km² in favour of Russia.

In the Kupyansk direction, Russian forces continued to advance in Kupyansk, while Ukrainian forces are attempting to counterattack at several different points.

In the northeastern part of Kupyansk, after establishing a foothold in the first blocks of the city and accumulating additional infantry, Russian forces advanced further south towards the highway. They captured the rest of the high-rise buildings and a significant portion of the low-rise residential areas. They also entered the eastern industrial zone and captured the Kupyansk Railway Station.

In the southern part of Kupyansk, Russian forces continued widening their spearhead to Sadove. They pushed southwest from the Yuvileynyi high-rise micro-district and captured new parts of the southern low-rise residential area.

Meanwhile, Ukrainian forces began attempts at counterattacking in the eastern residential area and industrial zone, slowing the Russian advance towards the southeastern neighbourhoods. They are also attacking through the grey-zone towards the market and city centre. On the western side of the city, the Ukrainians are attempting to infiltrate the residential areas in the grey zone where Russia hasn't consolidated in yet, while other forces continued their attacks from Moskovka and the forests southwest of Radkivka. No Ukrainian advances have been confirmed yet.

+ ~5.04 km² in favour of Russia.

In the Borova direction, Russian forces continued to advance towards the village of Novoplatonivka, and have captured new positions on the tactical heights.

After capturing the treelines and forest plantations northwest of Borivska Andriivka, Russian forces advanced further down the tactical heights, capturing positions in two treelines to the west. Other forces advanced west down a third treeline, reaching a gulley.

+ ~1.82 km² in favour of Russia.

In the northwest, Russian forces continued their assault operations towards the village of Korovii Yar and have captured additional positions some forested areas. Attacks are now underway on the main Ukrainian strongpoints outside the settlement.

To the south, Ukrainian forces built on their progress east of Yarova and captured additional positions in the forests along the western bank of the Nitrius River. They were able to entrench in the forests just outside Novoselivka, and infiltrate into the southern part of the village, where a large grey-zone has formed. Russian forces are now trying to push the Ukrainians back out of the settlement.

To the east, Ukrainian forces reversed some Russian progress in and around the town of Drobysheve. They advanced north through poorly consolidated Russian positions in the forests east of the Nitrius River, reaching the main Russian positions south and southeast of the fish farm. Other forces recaptured positions in the northern part of the town, pushing the Russians back to the outermost streets.

Meanwhile, Russian forces continued their attempts at advancing from the agricultural complex on the northwestern outskirts of the town towards its centre. Other forces are attempting to infiltrate from the strongpoints in the Bogdasarov Forest to the eastern streets of Drobysheve, where a grey zone has formed.

Russian forces have refocused their efforts on the eastern part of Masliakivka, and the forests east of the Pivdennyi District.

To the east, Russian forces resumed their assault operations in Yampil. They pushed southwest from the northern and northeastern parts of the village, recapturing previously lost positions in the western, central, northern, and eastern streets. Ukrainian forces have since withdrawn from most of the village and are maintaining their main presence in the southernmost streets.

Further east, Russian forces infiltrated from the forest east on Yampil, across the wetlands to the forests further south, capturing positions there. Other forces advanced from the forests west of Dronivka, securing their presence in this new area.

Some assault groups were able to reach the fortifications right outside the city, where fighting is now ongoing. Additionally, Russian forces infiltrated to the northeastern part of the city, where they are now fighting for the trench strongpoints there.

In the south, Russian forces began advancing west of the railway line towards Zvanivka. They were able to capture new positions in 7 different treelines on the tactical heights.

⚡️🇸🇾🇺🇸 Talks to integrate Rojava’s civil and military institutions into the Syrian state are entering a decisive phase next week, an SDC representative told Rudaw.

Abdul Wahab Khalil said last week’s Washington meeting between interim President Ahmed al-Sharaa, President Trump, and Turkish FM Hakan Fidan created “positive” momentum, with large-scale SDF–Damascus talks expected soon.

Syrian FM Asaad al-Shaibani said Damascus has held five meetings with the SDF in 45 days, stressing that unification will proceed through dialogue, not haste. AANES is preparing to send a delegation to Damascus.
