Russian troops are currently holding the upper hand on the battlefield, advancing in Donetsk Oblast and chipping away at Ukrainian positions in Kursk Oblast.

Russian forces captured Kurakhove

Occupation forces continued pressure in the Kurakhove protrusion area and expanded their control zone around the village of Shevchenko.

The occupiers completed the formation of the southern flank beyond Dalnie settlement, creating a buffer zone for strikes on Kurakhove from the south.

The situation in the Kurakhove direction demands urgent decisions from the Headquarters of the Supreme Commander-in-Chief and the General Staff.

Ukrainian forces are holding the industrial zone on the outskirts of Kurakhove, the thermal power plant, and a narrow salient for logistics under relentless enemy fire.

The Ukrainian command is repeating the defense model of Soledar, Bakhmut, Avdiivka and Vuhledar in Kurakhove.
