In the Kostyantynivka direction, Russian forces continued to advance in the area of Ivanopillya, and have entered the village at a new point.

After securing most of the southern part of the village, as well as the positions to the east, Russian forces managed advance up the highway to the graveyard and consolidate in the treeline to the west. From there, they entered the northern part of Ivanopillya, where attempts are underway at entrenching in the street just west of the graveyard.

+ ~0.85 km² in favour of Russia.

In the Vovchansk direction, Russian forces continued to slowly advance in the area of Synelnykove, and have entered the main part of the village.

Following earlier failed attempts at capturing positions in the northern part of Synelnykove, Russian forces began attacks from the forests to the west, into the western street of the village. As a result, they were able to establish control over it, allowing for other assault groups to enter the settlement from the north, and capture the houses there too.

+ ~0.37 km² in favour of Russia.

Overnight, a combined Russian missile and drone attack was carried out on Sumy Oblast.

One Iskander-M ballistic missile launched from Kursk Oblast, along with 2-3 Geran-2 drones impacted a target near the village of Boromlya, Sumy Oblast.

Additionally, at least five Geran-2 drones attacked a target northeast of Sumy City, in the area of Khomyne [attached video].

Following the Russian KAB strikes on energy infrastructure west of Mykolaivka, Donetsk Oblast, at least three Russian Geran-2 drones attacked an unknown target in the city of Slovyansk.

Several Geran strikes were also once again recorded close to the frontline in Pokrovsk'e, Dnirpopetrovsk Oblast. A few drones also attacked the city of Pavlohrad.

Additionally, the Izmail port was struck by as many as a dozen drones, rather than all of them targeting the substation.

This is what happens when you lie to your audience for nearly four years straight, while believing the opposite of what you say behind closed doors.

Last night, Russia carried out a combined missile and drone attack on the city of Berestyn, Kharkiv Oblast.

At least five Geran-2 drones and four Iskander-M ballistic missiles attacked an unknown target within the city limits.

Over the last week, I've seeing a lot of Pro-Ukraine accounts beginning to doom about the war. People are highlighting the massive issues plaguing the Armed Forces of Ukraine, and the Russian superiority in all the different fields of war.

But I guarantee you, that at some point towards the end of 2025 and into 2026, Ukraine will carry out some sort of PR-related operation like Spiderweb or Kursk which will "win back" these supporters. And sure enough, they will follow like sheep and good lil' patriots, changing up the presumed narrative, and shifting the goal posts back, once again, to restoring the 2014, or even 1991 borders.

We saw a similar phenomenon last year. After Russia entered northern Kharkiv Oblast and attacked the cities of Vovchansk and Lyptsi, and Ukraine redeployed units away from the Donbas, Russia began rapidly advancing in the directions of Pokrovsk, Vuhledar, Ukrainsk, and Kurakhove. Pro-Ukrainians began sounding the alarms, with these rapid advances massively contrasting the prolonged and difficult battle for Avdiivka. Then, in early August, Ukraine launched their Kursk operation, and everything changed back.

It's just the ebb and flow of the uninformed parts of the information space. But slowly, the goal posts are shifting. It's not linear, but the goal posts are trending in favour of Russia, and away from the original goal which was set of restoring the 1991 borders. This will only accelerate, but of course with a delay to Russian progress as we have seen in the past.

I cannot believe this.

Ukraine's train stations get hit by 4 ballistic missiles and half a dozen Geran-2 drones, and only result in some rerouting and delays of up to 1 hour.

My train lines get COMPLETELY CANCELLED for the entire day for an average of 4 days per week due to "track repairs". You're repairing tracks four times per week??? How is that even possible?

Update on Russian preparations for the next large-scale, combined missile attack on Ukraine:

Yesterday, 1 Tu-160 strategic bombers redeployed from Ukrainka Airbase, Amur Oblast, to Engels-2 Airbase, Saratov Oblast. It is unlikely to be equipped with Kh-101 cruise missiles, as another Tu-160 redeployed from Engels-2 Airbase to Ukrainka Airbase, suggesting a rotation was carried out for training purposes, as this bomber has been stationed at Engels-2 for a long time and was only ever used for training.

2 Tu-95MS and 1 Tu-160 landed at Engels-2 Airbase just now after redeploying from Ukrainka airbase and will also be equipped with Kh-101 missiles. The 2 Tu-95MS will likely make a flight to Olenya Airbase, Murmansk Oblast, in the next 36 hours.

Another IL-76MD cargo plane, along with an An-26 cargo plane landed at Rostov Airbase. The cargo consists of additional Iskander-M ballistic missiles, which will be delivered to OTRK installations near Taganrog, Rostov Oblast.

Remember, 2 Iskanders were launched from Taganrog last night at a target in Berestyn, Kharkiv Oblast. It's also possible (but unlikely in my opinion) that a portion of these Iskanders from Rostov Airbase are being delivered to OTRK installations at Millerovo Airbase, Rostov Oblast.

New deliveries of at least 150 Geran-2 drones have been made to the launch sites at Millerovo Airbase, Rostov Oblast, and Navlya Test Site, Bryansk Oblast, via rail. Accumulation of drones at launch points surrounding Ukraine that have been allocated for this upcoming attack will be over 400 now.

One "Buyan-M" Corvette was equipped with up to 8 Kalibr cruise missiles at Novorossiysk Naval Base, Krasnodar Krai. No other Kalibr carriers are known to be equipped with missiles, so if the upcoming attack occurs in the next two days, it's unlikely that Kalibrs will be used

One MiG-31K fighter carried out rare, long-range training from Savasleika Airbase, Nizhny Novgorod Oblast. An IL-76M tanker from Diaghilev Airbase, Ryazan Oblast, took part in refueling the aircraft.

Currently, there are 8 MiG-31Ks stationed at Savasleika Airbase. Their equipment status is unknown, but likely only a portion are equipped with Kinzhal missiles. The 2 MiG-31Ks at Akhtubinsk Airbase, Astrakhan Oblast, are not equipped with missiles.

Right now, there are 3 Tu-95MS at Olenya Airbase, 3 Tu-95MS at Engels-2 Airbase, and 5 Tu-160s at Engels-2 Airbase. Currently confirmed to be equipped / are being equipped with missiles are: 6 Tu-95MS and 3 Tu-160s.

The next large-scale missile attack is unlikely to take place tonight, but there is an increased threat for Wednesday night / Thursday morning, and the three nights after that.
