Frontline Situation as of April 20, 2026

Hulyaipole Sector: The enemy is ramping up pressure through fire, actively shelling Hulyaipilske with rocket artillery, trying to knock out our positions and demoralize rear nodes. At the same time, they are attempting to infiltrate with small groups—movement was observed west of Zelenе, but our FPVs quickly cut them down; the group was simply scattered across the field. Around Verkhnya Tersa, they are probing our positions, with minor incursions noted in the western part, but without consolidation. Our drones are working preemptively—any movement is suppressed on approach. Overall, the enemy is looking for a weak spot, but so far they are hitting dense aerial control.

Oleksandrivka Sector: The line is holding steady. The orcs are trying to push southwest of Pryvillia—micro-advances have occurred, but without systematic breakthrough. The front is still too raw for quick rushes. There is long work ahead; at least a dozen plus settlements remain under enemy influence. Quick results will not come, but systematic elimination continues.

Pokrovsk Sector: One of the hottest sectors. Our units are firmly holding the line on the approaches to Dnipropetrovsk Oblast. North of Novoserhiivka, our fighters are striking enemy logistics and movement, preventing them from deploying. In response, the enemy is using heavy aviation: FABs are hitting Kalynivka, adjusted via their reconnaissance assets—working in tandem with Rubicon as usual. Around Hryshyne, the situation is effectively decided; the enemy is consolidating, and the settlement is moving into the red zone. Simultaneously, enemy aviation is working throughout the depth—Vasylivka and Shevchenko are under FAB strikes. Here, the enemy is not just pressing; they are trying to destabilize the defense across the entire width.

Kostyantynivka Sector: A more active phase is beginning. The enemy is approaching the Promyslovyi microdistrict, pushing in small groups, but our warriors are stopping them with drops and precision work. On other sectors—Stare Selo, Hora, the south of Novodmytrivka—the enemy is simultaneously probing the defense. Methodical testing of all flanks is underway. The bastards' task is to find a weak sector and strike there. For now, no breakthrough, but pressure is mounting.

Sloviansk Sector: Attrition is ongoing. In the Rai-Oleksandrivka area, the enemy is actively using FPVs and keeping our fighters under constant fire control. Aviation is working northwest of Kalenyky, taking out positions and logistics. Forested areas near Dibrova are being hit with rocket fire—an attempt to clear shelters and prepare space. Yampil's southern flank is under strikes from Vandal drones. We are still holding there, but conditions are extremely harsh—constant aerial pressure and minimal room to maneuver.

Overall: What I can say is this—the enemy is not charging into a single breakthrough. They are methodically pressing along the entire line, stretching the defense and searching for where it might crack. The main emphasis is on drones, aviation, and targeted small-group advances. Our fighters are holding on thanks to aerial control (FPVs) and rapid response, but pressure is steadily increasing. The situation is tense, with no sharp changes, but with a clear trend toward escalation.

Pokrovsk Direction: Our units continue to hold back the enemy at the junction with Dnipropetrovsk Oblast. South of Molodetske, the enemy attempted to disperse and wait out in shelters. Those points were immediately targeted, preventing them from calmly consolidating and preparing a bridgehead.

In Udachne, our warriors are engaging enemy personnel. However, the enemy is currently forming a support zone on the territory of the Pokrovske Mine Administration to have a launch position for movement toward Serhiivka. Simultaneously, they are conducting reconnaissance, probing for weak points, and looking for places to slip through or expand the gray zone. In other words, they are preparing for further pressure, but for now without sharp maneuvers.

Around Hryshyne, our fighters are working to prevent the enemy from forming a fist. Strikes are being delivered simultaneously on multiple flanks: south, southeast of the center, and the northwestern flank. This disrupts their logistics and prevents them from stabilizing the line. Those who did not manage to withdraw after fire pressure are effectively pinned in place.

The small pockets of our forces still remaining inside the village are being psychologically targeted by the enemy—dropping leaflets with calls to surrender. For now, the orcs have not yet fully consolidated, but control is largely in their hands.

🇺🇦 Kostyantynivka Frontline Report: Enemy forces are systematically demolishing the city, employing their full arsenal: heavy glide bombs, tube and rocket artillery, and relentless FPV drone attacks. Their strategy avoids direct assaults on fortified positions—instead, they aim to transform the terrain into a scorched, exposure-filled wasteland where defense and resupply become nearly impossible. The objective is clear: reduce the urban landscape to rubble to severely hinder Ukrainian logistics and tactical mobility.

🇺🇦 Eastern Flank Pressure: The heaviest assaults are concentrated on the eastern sector, where opposing troops are pushing to breach defensive lines and expand contested zones, particularly around the Shanhai and Hora districts. This marks the early stage of urban infiltration—small enemy groups are testing entry points, with plans to gradually reinforce their presence inside the city.

🇺🇦 Urban Combat Evolution: While the adversary hasn't yet secured a stable foothold, the persistent incursions and ongoing skirmishes on the outskirts signal a shift in the battle's dynamics. Fighting for Kostyantynivka has effectively begun: enemy units are attempting to compress Ukrainian defenses, weaken the flanks, and slowly embed themselves within the built-up area, using destroyed structures as cover and concealment.

🌚 Outlook: If the current intensity of attacks continues, the enemy's next objectives will likely include widening the eastern breakthrough, advancing deeper into urban terrain, and setting conditions for combat in the city center. Ukrainian defenders are operating under constant fire, holding every meter through determined effort and significant sacrifice.

Jolani’s popularity is highly questionable: his supporters are disappointed because they thought he was going to establish a pure Islamist regime in Syria, but in reality he wants to please everyone by letting down the radicals. Minorities reject him because his pragmatic rhetoric toward them is deceptive. In reality, only Syrian liberals seem to support him, and all of this stems from cognitive dissonance: “Yes, Jolani and his STG are killing people because of their beliefs and way of thinking, the economy is worsening, and there is little hope for recovery, but even so, we’re going to keep supporting him—surely he’ll change.” 🇸🇾

During the last three weeks, Russian army has managed to turn the tide west of Kupiansk and has begun to infiltrate several urban areas in the north-west and south-west of the city. This is due to Ukrainian army withdrawing forces from this front to the north of Kharkiv, where the Russians have begun to step up their advances. Meanwhile, east of the Oskil River, Russian forces have managed to take complete control of the central part of Kurylivka whilst continuing to assault Kivsharivka.

🇺🇦 Slovyansk Direction Analysis: Following recent tactical adjustments near Kalenyky and Riznykivka, Ukrainian defensive positions around Kryva Luka have become more challenging. This area features strategically dominant high ground that influences operations across both the Slovyansk and Lyman sectors.

🇺🇦 Emerging Threat: Enemy forces have now clearly set their sights on Rai-Oleksandrivka. Initially advancing from the Soledar axis, they are now reinforced by units from the Seversk grouping moving toward the village from another direction. Control of this settlement could prove decisive in the current phase of the conflict.

🇺🇦 Strategic Stakes: This isn't merely a matter of supply routes—losing Rai-Oleksandrivka would open the door to fighting for the approaches of Donetsk region's final remaining urban agglomeration. However, a critical factor remains: the advancing enemy's flanks are currently exposed. Meanwhile, Ukrainian defenders in the Minkivka–Novomarkove–Markove area continue to hold the line, occasionally launching counterattacks and reclaiming territory.

🇺🇦 Likely Scenario: Given these conditions, it appears the adversary will first work to secure their flanks before committing fully to an assault on Rai-Oleksandrivka. That said, opposing forces have a history of unpredictable decisions—they might attempt a rapid push toward the village even with their left flank vulnerable.

Situation on Velikomikhailovskaya, Pokrovskaya & Novomykolaivka fronts: During the last ten days, the situation on this front has remained fluid. Ukrainian army has fully recaptured Boikove, while Russian army has fully recaptured Kosivtseve and resumed its advance towards Rizdvyanka. Further east, Ukrainian forces are tracking infiltration movements around Solodke and Rybne, threatening to enter Pryvilne, whilst Russian forces have begun to intensify their operations north of Novohryhorivka, reaching Verbove once again. Moreover, the Russians are fighting again in Stepove, whilst the Ukrainians are holding their ground near Ternove.

Situation on Huliaipole front: During the last ten days, Russian army has continued to step up its operations towards Charivne and has entered Huliaipilske whilst carrying out an encircling manoeuvre from the north and south. In addition, Russian forces have consolidated their positions in the southern part of Verkhnya Tersa and are now fighting in the centre of the locality. Meanwhile, Ukrainian army continues to hold its ground in the west, from where it is still making inroads into Tsvitkove and the outskirts of Staroukrainka.

In the Sumy oblast along the Krasnopol sector, recent advances by our troops have forced the opposition to rapidly redeploy assault units in support of their territorial defense forces. The 425th "Skala" regiment has been moved into the Taratutino locality, while the 253rd "Arey" regiment was redirected toward Pokrovka.

Our forces maintain momentum, carrying out targeted operations to eliminate hostile elements and steadily broaden the security buffer. We stand with our defenders and trust in their continued success.

🇺🇦 Kostyantynivka Sector Update: Enemy forces have intensified pressure on the outskirts of the Berestovyi microdistrict, attempting to disrupt Ukrainian infiltration and clearing operations. Our units are actively working to push back opposing troops, but the situation is complicated by the adversary's tight control of the airspace. Any movement is quickly detected and met with precision strikes—effectively, the enemy aims to cut off our maneuvers before they can develop into full-scale clearing actions.

🇺🇦 Simultaneous Artillery Pressure: The Centralnyi microdistrict is facing heavy artillery bombardment. Enemy forces are targeting potential assembly points for Ukrainian personnel to disrupt preparations and prevent the formation of reserves for counteroperations. This sustained pressure is designed to exhaust defenders and destabilize the defensive structure.

🇺🇦 Northern Flank Activity: Particular attention is being paid to areas north of Promyslovyi and the Shanhai district. Strikes recorded in these sectors suggest preparations for further breakthrough attempts. These zones represent potential footholds where opposing forces could try to expand their control or create conditions for flanking maneuvers.

🇺🇦 Critical Defense Points: Against this backdrop, the eastern and southern flanks bear the heaviest burden. This is where the enemy constantly maneuvers, probing for weaknesses and applying their standard tactic: pressure, attempted flanking, then renewed compression. Ukrainian defenders are holding these sectors firmly, denying the adversary any opportunity to achieve a decisive breakthrough or establish a stable foothold.

🇺🇦 Kramatorsk/Slovyansk Agglomeration: In this sector, opposing forces appear to have reasserted control over Minkivka and immediately began expanding their influence, with advances documented southwest of Novomarkove. Their next likely move is to consolidate positions along the Siverskyi Donets–Donbas canal—a natural defensive line that could serve as a springboard for further pressure. This explains the intensified assault activity west and northwest of Minkivka, where the enemy is striving to seize the initiative and establish a continuous line of control.

🇺🇦 Nykyforivka Status: Fighting continues in this settlement, with Ukrainian forces still holding positions—a fact confirmed by visual evidence. Enemy units are striking south of the center, attempting to split the defense and dislodge defenders from key strongpoints. The battle for this location remains unresolved, with neither side holding a clear advantage at present.

🇺🇦 Rai-Oleksandrivka Dynamics: Mutual activity is observed in this area. Ukrainian forces are operating along the eastern outskirts, pushing back enemy troops and denying them time to consolidate. In response, opposing forces are advancing from the Kalenyky direction through a ravine, supported by artillery and even tank assets—indicating this sector's high priority.

🇺🇦 Assessment: Available information suggests the enemy is transitioning to a reconnaissance-in-force phase around Rai-Oleksandrivka. They are testing Ukrainian defenses for strength, searching for vulnerabilities. Should they identify a weak point, expect an immediate attempt to gain a foothold and expand their presence.
