In the Yunakivka and Khotin directions, Russian forces have made significant progress over the past week, capturing four more villages and entering a fifth.
In the west, Russian forces advanced from their newly established positions in the village of Kostyantynivka and captured the forest plantations and treeline on the northern approaches to the village of Kindrativka. They then pushed into Kindrativka itself, establishing full control over it. As a result of these advances, to the northwest, positions were taken up on the international border northeast of Novokostiantynivka.
To the east, Russian forces advanced over the international border to the northern bank of the large reservoir, taking up positions in the forest plantations there. Separate assault detachments then advanced east from Kindrativka, bypassing the reservoir and capturing positions on the southern bank and in the nearby treeline. Once this "bridgehead" was secured, Russian forces pushed south along the treelines to the village of Andriivka, entering and seizing full control over it.
Further east, Russian forces pushed south on a wide front from the border to Vodolahy, capturing numerous new positions in treelines and forest plantations, before entering and capturing the villages of Oleksiivka and Novomykolaivka.
In the Yunakivka direction. Russian forces continued to advance along the tactical heights northwest of Yunakivka, capturing new treeline positions and approaching the village of Yablunivka. Additionally, they were able to enter Yunakivka from the north, capturing the northern houses.
+ ~67.90km² in favour of Russia.

In the Lyman direction, Russian forces made significant progress, achieving a localised breakthrough in the direction of the Oskil River.
Russian forces advanced west from their positions on the tactical heights, moving downhill through the forest plantations, capturing new positions there. They also advanced west from the western part of Ridkodub, reaching the Nitrius River. From there they entered the village of Karpivka, taking up positions in the houses and agricultural buildings.
Russian forces were then able to cross the dam over the Nitrius River, establishing a foothold on the western bank of the river in the northern part of Karpivka and in the forest plantations to the northeast.
Meanwhile in Ridkodub, Russian forces advanced from the northeastern street of the village, capturing the agricultural buildings, before moving on to the northwestern houses, completing the capture of the settlement.
+ 13.30km² in favour of Russia.

In the Lyman direction, Ukrainian forces counterattacked again, recapturing the fish farm on the northern outskirts of the village of Torske.
After Russian forces recaptured the fish farm, Ukrainian forces crossed the dam over the Zherebets River, storming and seizing the complex. The defence of it was likely complicated by a lack of Russian reinforcements being brought in.
Ukrainian forces also re-established themselves in the forest plantations to the south and possibly the northern houses of Torske.
+ ~1.05km² in favour of Ukraine.

In the Kramatorsk direction, Russian forces advanced on a wide front towards the Siversky Donets canal, capturing various new positions.
Russian forces advanced in two areas. In the south they pushed west from the forest west of Hryhorivka, capturing the next forest over and reaching the approaches to the canal. They also made marginal progress in the nearby groves.
To the northeast, Russian forces advanced north of Hryhorivka, capturing forested areas in the low-lying ground before seizing the two parallel treelines on the tactical heights. They also advanced to the large forest in the low-lying ground to the north, seizing the trenches within it, and approaching the canal from a new direction.

In the Kostyantynivka direction, Russian forces continued their assault operations in the vicinity of the city of Chasiv Yar, and captured new positions.
Russian forces advanced in two areas. In the north they pushed west from their positions in the main chalk quarry, reaching and capturing the dugouts and trenches at the western quarry. They also captured nearby forest to the east and the treeline to the south.
In the south, Russian forces continued to grind down Ukrainian defences. As a result of a continuous campaign against Ukrainian UAV launch points and mortar positions, they were able to break through important positions south of Chasiv Yar. They recaptured previously lost trenches next to the road from the mine, as well as in the adjacent forested areas. They also recaptured the areas east of the southern pond.
+ ~1.95km² in favour of Russia.
