I haven't talked about Chasiv Yar in a while, so here is the information that I have gathered regarding the situation in the city.
In the city centre, forward movement has largely halted, with both sides engaging in mutual artillery shelling and FPV drone strikes. Russian forces are targeting the Ukrainian positions in the 4-story buildings in the city centre with artillery, however the continued presence of the Ukrainian soldiers there suggests that Ukraine has relatively stable logistics running into the city centre, either from the south or the west. Due to this, I have added a larger grey zone to the northwestern end of the city centre, and the roads that lead out of it. This also confirms that the massive Russian mechanised assault earlier this week was a complete failure.
Ukrainian forces were seen repelling a Russian infantry assault in the northwestern part of the city centre, suggesting a marginal Russian advance to Pryvokzalna street.
Meanwhile, Russian forces have slowly ground through Ukrainian positions in the northwestern streets and are nearly at the northwestern edge of the city. Russia previously had full control over this district, but due to a series of Ukrainian counterattacks, they lost control over a decent chunk of it. From a tactical perspective, Ukraine's counterattacks have been very successful in northwestern Chasiv Yar, not because of the land taken, but because of the losses Russia has taken in trying to recapture it. Usually, Russian forces are able to recapture lost areas quite quickly, but here it seems to be different.
Overall, while other Ukrainian defensive operations have been notoriously poor, the defence of Chasiv Yar has been excellent, making it a city that Russia has been trying to capture for nearly a year - longer than the battle of Bakhmut.

Russian forces have entered Gogolevka, Kursk Oblast. Only two villages remain under full Ukrainian control in Kursk Oblast now: Oleshnya and Gornal.
Gogolevka and Guevo are contested.

For the past few days, Russian forces have been trying to advance near Nadiya, Luhansk Oblast. At least three assaults with armoured vehicles have been repelled so far, with Ukrainian drone operators playing a crucial role in holding the line.
It appears that Russia may be trying to level out the Stepne - Serhiivka line, in order to recapture the village of Kopanki (which was recaptured by Ukraine towards the end of last year), and take the remaining positions on the tactical heights from Kopanki to the border between Kharkiv and Donetsk Oblasts.

Russian forces continued their offensive in the Sumy direction and are working to recapture the last parts of Kursk Oblast still under Ukrainian control.
Russian forces advanced from positions in the western part of Rubanshchina and entered the neighbouring village of Gogolevka, taking up positions in the northeastern houses. They also captured a couple of houses in the north of the village.
Fighting is now ongoing for the centre of Gogolevka, with the main Ukrainian formations holding out in the southwestern houses.
+ ~0.92km² in favour of Russia.

Significantly intensified Russian airstrikes, FAB glide-bomb strikes, artillery shelling and MLRS attacks were reported on Pokrovsk and the surrounding areas today.
Explosions were heard almost continuously from Dobropillya (further north of Pokrovsk) from the intense attacks.

The Sudanese Armed Forces just made a breakthrough in central Khartoum, near the Presidential Palace. Reports are foggy right now, so I'll make a map update when more information is released.

Correction of the frontline in the Lyman direction in favour of Russia:
A couple of weeks ago, Russian forces advanced and captured the rest of the village of Novolyubivka.
They advanced from their positions in the southern houses of the settlement, and moved north, capturing the rest of the houses. They also advanced through the forest plantations on the tactical heights west of the village and captured positions in the forest plantations to the north. Additionally, one of the forests west of Novolyubivka is now in the grey-zone.
+ ~4.00km² in favour of Russia.
