NEW DRONE THREATS (HIGH PRIORITY, CONFIRMED, UKRAINIAN SOURCE):
Повітряні Сили ЗС України / Air Force of the Armed Forces of Ukraine (19:45 UTC): Reports drone threats in ODESSA and MYKOLAIV OBLASTS from the Black Sea.
Повітряні Сили ЗС України / Air Force of the Armed Forces of Ukraine (19:46 UTC): Reports enemy tactical aviation activity in the SOUTH-EASTERN DIRECTION, with a threat of air-launched weapons use in FRONT-LINE REGIONS.
Повітряні Сили ЗС України / Air Force of the Armed Forces of Ukraine (19:48): Reports that guided aerial bombs have been used on Zaporizhzhia Oblast.
Nikolaevskiy Vanyok (19:46 UTC): Reports two drones from the Black Sea, heading towards KOBLEVO, five drones near POLTAVA, one drone near MYRHORD, and five drones near KONOTOP.
Повітряні Сили ЗС України / Air Force of the Armed Forces of Ukraine (20:10 UTC): Reports drones on the border of KHARKIV and DONETSK OBLASTS (heading west/southwest), southeast of POLTAVA OBLAST (heading southwest), east of SUMY OBLAST (heading west), and east of CHERNIHIV OBLAST (heading southwest).
Assessment: This indicates a MAJOR, MULTI-DIRECTIONAL DRONE ATTACK is UNDERWAY. The THREAT FROM THE BLACK SEA is NEW and SIGNIFICANT, potentially targeting ODESSA and MYKOLAIV OBLASTS. The ACTIVITY IN POLTAVA, KHARKIV, DONETSK, SUMY, AND CHERNIHIV OBLASTS is CONSISTENT with PREVIOUS REPORTS, but the SCALE appears to be INCREASING. The REPORTED USE OF GUIDED AERIAL BOMBS further ESCALATES THE THREAT.
SYRSKYI ON KURSK/SUMY SITUATION (HIGH PRIORITY, REPORTED, MULTIPLE SOURCES):
* **Assessment:** This *CONFIRMS* the *UKRAINIAN ACKNOWLEDGEMENT* of the *SERIOUS SITUATION* in the *KURSK/SUMY REGION*. *SYRSKYI'S STATEMENT* about *MANEUVERING TO MORE ADVANTAGEOUS POSITIONS* is *CONSISTENT* with *REPORTS OF UKRAINIAN WITHDRAWALS*. The *CLAIM* of *HOLDING THE DEFENSE* is *CONTRADICTED* by *REPORTS* of *CONTINUED RUSSIAN ADVANCES*. The *REMOVAL OF GENERAL KRASILNIKOV* suggests *ACCOUNTABILITY* for the *DETERIORATING SITUATION*.
RUSSIAN CLAIMS OF UKRAINIAN WITHDRAWALS (HIGH PRIORITY, REPORTED, RUSSIAN SOURCES):
Colonelcassad (19:42 UTC): Claims UKRAINIAN FORCES are REGROUPING to MORE ADVANTAGEOUS POSITIONS, but states that NO COMPLETE WITHDRAWAL is PLANNED.
Старше Эдды (19:56): Claims that Ukrainian soldiers are "conducting maneuvers," including many of the soldiers near Sudzha.
Два майора (20:03): Claims that only four settlements near Sudzha remain under Ukrainian control: Goncharovka, Rubanshchina, Gogolevka, and Oleshnya. Claims all other Ukrainian units have withdrawn beyond the Russian border. UPDATED to include Guevo and Gornal.
Assessment: These reports REINFORCE PREVIOUS CLAIMS of UKRAINIAN WITHDRAWALS, but with CONFLICTING DETAILS. The CLAIM of NO COMPLETE WITHDRAWAL is CONTRADICTED by the REPORT of ONLY FOUR SETTLEMENTS REMAINING UNDER UKRAINIAN CONTROL. URGENT VERIFICATION NEEDED.
REPORTED RUSSIAN AIR DEFENSE ACTIVITY (LOW PRIORITY, REPORTED, RUSSIAN SOURCES):
REPORTED UKRAINIAN LOSSES NEAR SUDZHA (PROPAGANDA, RUSSIAN SOURCE):
Colonelcassad (19:44 UTC): Showed a video of bodies, claiming to be Ukrainian drone operators near Sudzha.
НгП раZVедка (20:08 UTC): Reports that Ukrainian drone operators "committed mass suicide."
Assessment: This is likely RUSSIAN PROPAGANDA. The CLAIM of "mass suicide" is HIGHLY UNLIKELY and is INTENDED TO DEMORALIZE UKRAINIAN FORCES. REQUIRES CAREFUL ANALYSIS.
