The situation at the front remains difficult due to constant enemy pressure along the entire front line.
The most active areas remain Sumy region, the area of Kupyansk, Lyman, Siversk, Kostiantynivka, which covers its entire agglomeration, especially Chasiv Yar, Toretsk and the area of Yablunivka village, which is the third way for the enemy to move towards the city. Also, Pokrovsk-Myrnohrad, Novopavlivka section.
In Sumy region, the situation has been stabilized, particularly on the left flank, but the Russians, having a fairly large number of resources in the region, continue to carry out active assault operations to advance or improve their tactical position. At the same time, having had no recent successes, the enemy began shelling Sumy with anti-aircraft gunships, artillery, and drones, destroying infrastructure and killing civilians.
In the Kharkiv region, the enemy is trying to expand the bridgehead on the right bank of the Oskil River, using a large number of infantry. Similarly, the Russians are trying to advance along the entire eastern section of the Kharkiv region, but are not having much success.
Recently, the Russians have focused a lot of attention on the city of Kostiantynivka, attracting additional resources to conduct assault operations and destroy the city. There are constant assaults in the direction of Kostyantynivka, and Russians are also dropping UAVs on the city and killing civilians with FPV drones.
The Pokrovsk area remains the most active, where the enemy has concentrated the largest number of forces and means. The enemy’s principal goal is to reach the administrative borders of Donetsk and Dnipro regions in order to capture the entirety of Donetsk region and use the entrance to Dnipro region as an opportunity to conduct media propaganda and destabilize the situation. At the same time, the Russians have reached a distance where they have started hunting for logistics in the depths of the territory in the area of Dobropillia, which makes the situation much more difficult. They are doing this with the help of CABs and fiber-optic drones.
There is activation in the south, in particular in Zaporizhzhia region along the Kamianske-Orikhiv stretch, where the enemy has concentrated a large number of infantry and is trying to use the numerical advantage to improve its tactical position.
In conclusion, we can say that the enemy is not going to stop, having a numerical advantage in infantry and means to shell the rear positions and hunt for logistics. One of the components of the ability to stop the enemy is the supply of the necessary amount of weapons, which we desperately need from our Western partners.
