In the Velykyi Burluk direction, Russian forces continued their assault operations and are making incremental progress in two main areas.
In the northeast, Russian forces advanced south from the village of Dvorichanske to the nearby forest plantations, establishing control over them after heavy fighting, further shrinking the Ukrainian salient. Ukrainian forces are responding by heavily striking Russian temporary deployment points in Dvorichanske. The Russians also resumed attacks from the east, securing two forest plantations northwest of Kamyanka and pressuring the eastern part of the Ukrainian salient.
In the southwest, Russian forces have been carrying out assault operations towards Putnykove for the last few weeks. So far, despite the length of the battles, they have not achieved significant success, only securing a section of the highway and adjacent treeline positions. Additionally, more recently, attacks were carried out in the direction of the Dovhenke tract. As a result, they were able to capture two treelines and reach the eastern edge of the forested areas there.
+ ~3.03 km² in favour of Russia.

In the Kupyansk direction, over the last week Ukrainian forces continued to advance and have cleared additional parts of western Kupyansk.
In the north, following the withdrawal of most Russian soldiers from northwestern Kupyansk, Ukrainian forces managed to cut off the salient by advancing south through the city centre, linking up with other assault groups who captured the City Central Hospital. From there, they managed to clear large parts of this newly formed pocket, including the rest of the enterprises in the northwest, as well as most of the rest of the low-rise residential streets. The "Comb" stronghold in the high-rise blocks remains in the grey-zone.
In the south, Ukrainian forces began advancing southeast from the area of the grain elevators, reaching the police station. They then infiltrated east to the administrative building, effectively cutting off Russian formations in the area of the central market from the rest of the operationally encircled units. The Ukrainians also captured the furniture factory and School no. 1 to the west, while other forces began a series of assaults in the low-rise residential areas which effectively cut off Russian formations in the southwestern part of the city too.
+ ~1.13 km² in favour of Ukraine.

In the Hulyaipole direction, Russian forces continued to advance in and around Hulyaipole, while Ukrainian forces began a series of counterattacks.
In the south, Ukrainian forces began their withdrawal from the fortifications south of Hulyaipole due to the threat of encirclement. Russian forces followed, occupying some positions in the treelines which had held since 2022. They also advanced from southern Hulyaipole to the highway, capturing additional positions there.
To the northwest, Russian forces advanced further west and entered the southwestern part of Hulyaipole, capturing positions along several different streets and the agricultural buildings. They are now attempting to push north to bypass the main Ukrainian stronghold in the high-rise district from the west; however, the Ukrainians have begun counterattacking, slowing the Russian progress. They also managed to capture the local high-school and are now fighting for the southern part of the apartment buildings.
Additionally, the Russians advanced north past the cemetery and entrenched along Chubarya Street. Other forces expanded their bridgehead over the Haichur River and captured a number of enterprises and houses. As a result, the remaining Ukrainian soldiers in eastern Hulyaipole have been operationally encircled.
In the north, Ukrainian forces brought in reinforcements to their shrinking bridgehead north of the Haichur River and began carrying out counterattacks. They were able to make some progress along Dachna and Hirska Streets, however they were unable to dislodge the Russians from the agricultural complex who have now resumed their assault operations in an attempt to eliminate the bridgehead once and for all.

Russian forces have launched a new incursion across the international border into Sumy Oblast, quickly capturing the villages of Hrabovske and Vysoke. Attacks are now underway, with the Russians attempting to penetrate deeper into the region. As usual with…
Regarding the situation in the Krasnopillya direction, Sumy Oblast:
In the early morning hours of December 20, Russian assault groups from the 34th Guards Motor Rifle Brigade crossed the international border and entered Vysoke, quickly capturing the village with minimal resistance. The Ukrainian 119th Territorial Defense Brigade withdrew to the large forests further west.
Shortly afterwards, Russian forces crossed the border at multiple points further south and entered the village of Hrabovske. Street fighting ensued; however, the Russians were able to bring in considerable amounts of infantry, forcing the Ukrainians to leave. 56 civilians resided there at the time, around 6 of which were evacuated by Ukrainian forces. The rest refused to leave. Russian soldiers evacuated the remaining 50 civilians, all of which are adults who signed waivers of evacuation, to Belgorod Oblast, while assault groups continued their attacks.
After occupying both Hrabovske and Vysoke, Russian forces secured the forests between them, which had a minimal Ukrainian presence due to their proximity to the border.
However, the main push was made further west from Hrabovske to the nearby village of Ryasne. Russian forces managed to penetrate west and capture parts of the forests there. Forward units have already entered the eastern part of Ryasne where fighting is now ongoing. 9 civilians have been evacuated by Ryasne by Ukrainian forces so far.
The Ukrainian defence here is held by a unit (119th brigade) which was recently pulled from the Serebryanskyi Forest in Luhansk Oblast to here, as this sector was a much quieter part of the frontline, meaning their combat capabilities are at least somewhat degraded. Currently, most defensive actions are being carried out by FPV drone operators, who are attempting to slow the Russian advance for the time being.
+ ~13.40 km² in favour of Russia.
