Russian forces have largely completed their withdrawal from the salient stretching from Andriivka to Yehorivka in the Pokrovs'ke direction, which was initiated some time around February 12 due to the risk of encirclement from the localised Ukrainian counteroffensive.

As such, Ukrainian forces were able to recapture Andriivka, Ostapivske, and Nechaivka, have likely cleared Danylivka (still requires further confirmation), and are now fighting for Yehorivka.

This action by the Russians was pre-planned, and has been expected to take place for some time. These were some of the last remaining lightly-manned areas of the Pokrovs'ke direction, meaning that from now on, practically all Ukrainian attacks will take place in much more fortified and consolidated areas, which is already resulting in a sharp increase in Ukrainian casualties.

Additionally, once this withdrawal is fully completed, the line of contact will be significantly shortened, simplifying Russia's defensive operation as well as future stabilising counterattacks.

Yesterday evening, 2 Russian Iskander-M ballistic missiles launched from near Yeysk, Krasnodar Krai, impacted an unknown target near the village of Olefirivka, Dnipropetrovsk Oblast.

In recent weeks, Russia has intensified their bombing of the village of Kolodyazne in the northeastern-most part of Kharkiv Oblast, possibly in preparation for renewed attacks in this direction.

After their initial successful cross-border incursions from May and July 2025 , Russian forces struggled to build on their success beyond the villages of Dvorichanske and Odradne, becoming bogged down in the fields between these villages and Kolodyazne as winter set in.

Kolodyazne serves as a crucial defensive node for Ukrainian forces defending the northeastern corner of Kharkiv Oblast, as it sits along the Verkhnya Dvurichkova River. The fall of Kolodyazne would open the way for Russian forces to begin operating more freely, allowing for them to intensify the pressure north and northwest of Kupyansk - which would likely be in coordination with additional attacks in the area of Bilyi Kolodyaz and Velykyi Burluk.

Recently, Ukraine has deployed elements of the 159th Mechanised Brigade from from Vovchanski-Khutoryi area to Kolodyazne, likely to take part in efforts to repel a second Russian operation aimed at reaching and entrenching along the eastern bank of the Verkhnya Dvurichkova River.

Kharkiv City is under attack from Russian Tornado-S rockets.

At least 5 rockets launched from Belgorod Oblast have impacted the city - 3 in the Osnovianskyi District and 2 in the Kholodnohirskyi District. The targets are currently unknown.
