Geolocated footage indicates that Russian forces advanced in the Andriivka direction and took up new positions in the village of Novojelyzavetivka.
After establishing a foothold on the village's eastern outskirts, Russian infantry went on to attack westwards, clearing Ukrainian positions in the houses as they went. They were able to take up new positions near the centre of the village.
Additionally, Russian forces were able to advance north of the village, taking control over one more treeline, although reliable reports suggest that the extent of this advance is to one treeline further west, allowing them to establish fire control over the central part of Novojelyzavetivka.
+ ~1.69kmΒ² in favour of Russia.

Geolocated footage indicates that Russian forces advanced in Kurakhove and completed the capture of the dachas in the western part of the city.
They were able to advance from the territory surrounding the sports field and captured the garage cooperative, likely using this to expand their zone of control to the rest of the dachas.
In the future, Russia will likely try to advance down the highway to the gas station.
+ ~0.45kmΒ² in favour of Russia.

Geolocated footage indicates that Russian forces advanced in the southern part of the Kurakhove salient and took up new treeline positions.
Russian troops advanced from the stronghold on the Kurakhove - Velyka Novosilka road, along one main treeline. They then likely branched off to the north, capturing three more treelines. The status of the treeline above these three is unknown, but in my opinion it is likely still under Ukrainian control for the time being.
Russia then mounted a mechanised assault, pushing west from these treelines towards the village of Yantarne. It is unclear if this assault was successful, but if it was succesful, then they likely captured the forests and the treelines outside Yantarne.
+ ~6.19kmΒ² in favour of Russia.

Recent reports by multiple reliable sources suggest that Russian forces likely captured the village of Pischane in the Pokrovsk direction.
If true, this was probably done with assault vectors from their foothold in the southern part of the village, and from the territory of the Pishchane mines, towards the tributary of the Solona river.
Due to the risk of being encircled against the river once the Russians reached the northernmost part of Pishchane, Ukrainian forces likely withdrew, putting up minimal resistance.

A recent map update by the Ukrainian source "Deepstate" suggests that Russian forces likely advanced on the eastern flank of Pokrovsk and took up new treeline positions.
If true, Russian infantry probably advanced from positions northwest Novooleksandrivka, up two treelines near the small stream, capturing a small, forested area and approaching the eastern outskirts of Vozdvyzhenka.
This has been a relatively quiet part of the front, with no confirmed advances since October.

Recent reports by multiple reliable sources suggest that Russian forces likely advanced in northwestern Chasiv Yar and established control over the Chasiv Yar railway station.
After likely taking a foothold in the eastern part of the northern districts of the city, Russian forces reportedly significantly expanded it, crossing the railway tracks while also coming within 650 metres of the northwestern outskirts of Chasiv Yar.

Geolocated footage indicates that Ukrainian forces have advanced east of Siversk, recapturing treeline positions.
This advance is likely nearly a month old, however, as the first reports of this came out a little while after Russia's failed consolidation attempts in the ruins of Verkhn'okam'yanske.
Either way, Ukrainian forces were able to capture one treeline, a grove, some forested areas and most of a second treeline.
+ ~3.97kmΒ² in favour of Ukraine.

Recent reports by multiple reliable sources suggests that Russian forces have likely advanced in the Lyman direction, taking up new positions in and around Terny.
Russian forces were reportedly able to attack from their positions in the agricultural buildings on Terny's eastern outskirts, taking up positions in the southeastern houses of the village. At the same time, Russian forces reportedly completed the capture of the large, forested area, which holds several Ukrainian trench systems.

A Russian milblogger released an update on western supplies to Ukraine:
The activity of Western countries in supplying Ukraine has increased in November and December as Ukraine prepares for a new military offensive.
In November alone, Western aircraft made more than 120 transport flights to the Rzeszow air base in Poland. In December, that number increased to 135 flights. The Rzeszow air base is a key logistics point used for sending aid to Ukraine.
These flights are mainly coming from the US and sometimes from Canada, however this is only a part of the deliveries. A significant part of the equipment and weapons are delivered by rail from European countries.
From the US, large-sized equipment is delivered with cargo ships, chartered for the needs of the US armed forces, which transports everything to the ports of Belgium, The Netherlands, or Greece, and from there, everything is transported by rail or in motor convoys.
This means that the scale of the reinforcements is enormous, indicating that Ukraine is not preparing for negotiations, but rather for war.
