In the Khotin direction, Russian forces continue to advance and have made additional progress on the tactical heights.
In the east, Russian forces resumed their assault operations east of Oleksiivka, advancing down two treelines along the tactical heights, strengthening their western flank against the stronger Ukrainian defences near Varachyne. Ukrainian forces are trying to counterattack, and have also attempted to enter Oleksiivka, but so far have achieved no successes.
In the west, Russian forces continued to slowly advance around Andriivka. As a part of their intensified assault operations, they were able to approach the village from the northwest, capturing the rest of the gulley east of Kindrativka. Other forces then secured the northern outskirts of Andriivka and entered the northern houses of the village but were unable to consolidate and quickly withdrew due to Ukrainian drone and artillery strikes. Ukrainian forces also carried out additional unsuccessful counterattacks in Andriivka. Meanwhile, Russian artillery fire has intensified on both frontline and rear positions, significantly complicating Ukrainian logistics and their efforts at counterattacking.
+ ~3.85 km² in favour of Russia.

In the Bilyi Kolodyaz direction, Russian forces continued their assault operations and have made additional progress over the last week.
In the southwest, Russian forces continued pushing south through Lyman and reached the southern outskirts of the village. Other forces captured its eastern street, therefore completing the capture of the village. They also made additional progress in the forest to the west and captured new positions in the treelines to the east.
To the east, Russian forces continued to push through Vilcha, amid very heavy fighting. They were able to consolidate in the northeastern part of the town following earlier attacks and began a southward push through its eastern streets. As a result, they were able to outflank the town centre, allowing for the stronger Ukrainian positions there to be captured from three directions. From there, the Russians continued pushing towards the southern outskirts, capturing additional positions in the southern and eastern streets. Additionally, Russian forces advanced to the northeast of Vilcha, improving their positions along the highway to Vovchansk and capturing new positions in two different treelines east of the railway line.
In the northeast, following earlier attacks, Russian forces managed to cross a tributary of the Vovcha River from the southeastern edge of Vovchansk and entered the neighbouring village of Vovchanski-Khutory. They consolidated in the western houses in the area of Mryu Street and are now engaged in fierce battles for the western approaches to the industrial zone.
+ ~8.03 km² in favour of Russia.

In the Kupyansk direction, both Russian and Ukrainian forces continue to advance on different sides of the Oskil River, making important progress in various areas.
In the east, Russian forces consolidated in the northwestern-most houses of Petropavlivka following the Ukrainian withdrawal from the Synkivka area. From there, they began pushing southeast along the southern bank of the Hnylytsya River, capturing additional positions in the forests and reaching the northern outskirts of Kucherivka. Other forces captured the fish farm to the west, securing most of the remaining positions in the forests outside Kupyansk.
In the southwest, Ukrainian forces continued advancing in southwestern Kupyansk. They consolidated in additional positions in the low-rise residential area southeast of the Yuvileynyi high-rise micro-district. They also captured the rest of the houses north of Yuvileynyi. Additionally, the Ukrainians began a new push north up the western bank of the Oskil River, reaching the central market from the south.
To the north, Ukrainian forces entered the territory of the City Central Hospital, capturing part of it along with the adjacent residential streets. Fierce fighting is ongoing for the main hospital building and the surrounding areas. They also managed to capture the Russian strongpoint at the bread factory and the substation in northwestern Kupyansk, as well as additional residential areas to the southeast. Additionally, the Ukrainians began advancing south down the eastern bank of the Oskil River in northern Kupyansk, capturing new positions in the low-rise residential streets there, while other assault groups pushed further south through the city centre in the direction of School No. 4.
Further north, Ukrainian forces managed to clear Russian positions in most of the forests southeast and northeast of Radkivka, including the pipeline exit point that the Russians previously used to infiltrate the city and bring in supplies. They also advanced west from Kindrashivka, recapturing positions in the treelines and forested areas there.
+ ~6.26 km² in favour of Russia.
+ ~3.01 km² in favour of Ukraine.

In the Hulyaipole direction, Russian forces continued their assault operations and are advancing at an accelerated pace.
In the south, Russian forces have been carrying out a series of assault operations over the past week aimed at eliminating the Ukrainian salient south of Hulyaipole. They were able to advance north from the area of Dorozhnyanka, capturing positions in 7 different treelines on the tactical heights that have held for more than 3.5 years.
To the north, Russian forces continued advancing in eastern Hulyaipole and captured the local university and additional positions in the low-rise residential streets. They also improved their positions to the southeast, capturing additional treeline positions. From there, the Russians broke through Ukrainian positions in the southernmost part of the city, capturing an agricultural complex and nearby streets, and reaching Hoholya Street, where they established control over multiple low-rise residential blocks.
To the northwest, following earlier infiltrations, Russian soldiers managed to consolidate their bridgehead over the Haichur River on Travnya Street in northwestern Hulyaipole. They also captured additional positions in the treelines and orchards to the north, reaching the southern outskirts of Varvarivka.
+ ~15.35 km² in favour of Russia.

Google search trends for Kupyansk, Hulyaipole, and Myrnohrad over the last 90 days. This speaks numbers... Edit: apparently I misclicked and didn’t select Myrnohrad as a search term, which skewed the results.
The fact that no one cares about the hundreds of Ukrainian soldiers abandoned by the Ukrainian command in Myrnohrad is just depressing, and goes to show how effective Ukraine's information effort has been.

The next large-scale, combined Russian missile and drone attack will probably take place tomorrow morning, between 00:00 and 08:00 Kyiv time. It won't be anything special - just another normal-sized attack involving strategic bombers, ballistic missiles…
There will be no missile attack tonight as satellite imagery reveals that the 3 Tu-160s did not in fact redeploy to Belaya Airbase and instead carried out a training mission.
Preparations are ongoing, but are almost complete. There will likely be something in the next couple of days.

A large Russian Telegram Channel with over 25,000 subscribers called "ZAPAD Military Group | News" appears to be paraphrasing my posts on the situation in Kupyansk, and lying about their connections.
This channel claims to be in contact with many soldiers currently fighting in the Zapad Group of the Russian Army and even says that they communicate with family members of soldiers.
One of their recent posts - published just four hours after my own Kupyansk map update - contains large parts of my text paraphrased to make it look like their own, with key terms such as "strongpoint" and "substation" left in, making the copying very obvious. I have highlighted these instances it in the attached image if you wish to take a closer look.
Additionally, if you look closer at their channel, their maps are just edited versions of @Suriyak_maps' maps, with large grey zones present.
You would think that an account so connected with an army group who posts updates so often would have their own information, and wouldn't regurgitate information posted by a pro-Ukrainian account like me?
It's likely that this account is a fraud, so if you are looking for updates on this direction, please don't treat it as reliable, and especially don't treat it as a "Russian source". It's possible that it is ran by Ukrainians, or at the very least Russians who want some views and exposure on Telegram.
