The military situation in Ukraine remains critical, with Russian forces making significant advances, particularly in the Donetsk region. Velyka Novosilka is under complete Russian control, and the situation in Pokrovsk and Toretsk is increasingly precarious, with Ukrainian defenses near collapse in Toretsk and Russian forces within 2 km of Myrnohrad.
In the Kramatorsk direction, Russian troops are pressing Ukrainian defenses south of Chasiv Yar. They have taken control of the "Kuznya" pond and advanced to the "Krinichki" tract, nearing the "Yugo-Vostochny" mine. Russian control over these mining territories will allow for visual observation of the southern part of Chasiv Yar and further advancement towards the "Yuzhny" microdistrict and the village of Stupochki.
Russian forces are improving their tactical position with an advance near Terniv in the Donetsk region.
The Ukrainian counteroffensive in the Kursk region has stalled, with reports of significant North Korean casualties. There are reports of Russian forces taking Ukrainian forces into an "operational cauldron" in Nova Kruhliakivka. Drone warfare continues to intensify, with widespread attacks across multiple regions and reports of intense drone activity. Ukrainian air defenses have been active, shooting down numerous drones.
Ukrainian forces are actively targeting Russian military assets and infrastructure, including oil refineries. The Ukrainian military is adapting its force structure, creating new units focused on drone warfare.
Reports of internal conflict within both Russian and Ukrainian forces, as well as corruption and forced mobilization, highlight the complex internal situation.
The US has lifted the 90-day freeze on most foreign aid, including military aid to Ukraine, but the White House press secretary has denied this, creating confusion. Finland and Great Britain are providing substantial military aid packages to Ukraine.
Geopolitical tensions remain high, with Russia accusing the US of discussing an assassination attempt on Putin and a Russian politician claiming Ukraine is a fictional state. The release of hostages in Gaza adds another layer to the complex international situation.
Ukrainian intelligence is actively seeking samples of Russian technology to develop countermeasures and new weapons. The SBU has neutralized a pro-Kremlin organization attempting to destabilize Ukraine from within.
