Situation on Hlukhiv front: During the last six days, Russian army continued to expand the buffer zone along the border and captured the “Bachivsk” international border crossing.
Situation on Sumy front: During the month of March, Russian Army carried out intense artillery bombardment south of Oleksiivka, destroying Ukrainian defenses in Mala Korchakivka and preventing Ukrainian Army from replenishing its capabilities to launch local counterattacks. This has allowed Russian forces to occupy the destroyed settlement of Mala Korchakivka in recent days and shift the combat zone to neighboring Korchakivka.
In addition, Russian troops also advanced this month north of Krasnopillia Raion, expanding the buffer zone around the border by capturing the forested area of Oleksandriya. This has allowed the Russians to launch infiltration operations into the locality of Myropillya.
Situation north of Kharkov: During the last five days, Russian army has managed to reach Verkhnya Pysarivka after capturing the training centre of the Ukrainian National Guard Academy and shifting the fighting towards the village and the campsite. In addition, Russian troops continued to advance south-west of Vilcha, capturing further wooded areas.
Furthermore, Russian forces carried out a new cross-border advance south of Krasnoe, managing to infiltrate the wooded area adjacent to the localities of Bochkove and Okhrimivka.
Situation on Vilkhuvatska & Dvorichanska fronts: After seven weeks of positional fighting, Russian army managed to fully secure the border locality of Chuhunivka. Further north, the Russians also secured the locality of Shevyakivka after three weeks of fighting. Meanwhile, Russian operations further south resumed in the second half of March, with Russian forces advancing east of Odradne and south-west of Dvorichanske, from where they have begun to close in on Kolodiazne.
Situation on Kupiansk front: Russians are not giving up west of Kupiansk.
The fighting has shifted once again from Michurina Street to the high-rise buildings on Prospekt Konstytutsii street. This, coupled with the attacks in recent days against isolated Russian troops on Sadova Street, suggests that there may still be Russian troops hiding in the basements within the so-called ‘death zone’, where a form of Rattenkrieg is taking place.
Meanwhile, west of the Oskil River, Russian army has continued to make significant advances in recent days, establishing a foothold west of Stepova Novoselivka (where positional battles had been ongoing since January) and driving Ukrainian army off the road between Svatove and Kupiansk following the recent capture of Pishchane. Furthermore, Russian infiltration groups continue to drive the Ukrainians out of the trenches north of Kivsharivka, a locality that remains largely under Ukrainian control despite reports from the Russian Ministry of Defence.
Situation on Siversk front: Over the past five days, Russian army has taken full control of the localities of Riznykivka and Kalenyky. Meanwhile, over the past two weeks, Ukrainian army has managed to recapture a large part of Ozerne, from where it is now easier to supply the troops entrenched south of Yampil. Furthermore, Russian forces continue to infiltrate the wooded area west of Dibrova, which remains a grey zone as far as the outskirts of Staryi Karavan.
Situation on Soledar front: During the last ten days, Russian army has succeeded in closing the salient to the south-west of Bondarne-Khromivka and has continued to drive Ukrainian army out of the trenches to the north-west and north of Holubivka. Meanwhile, Ukrainian forces continue to infiltrate Minkivka with the aim of recapturing the locality.
Situation on Chasov Yar, Ilyinovskaya & Konstantinovskaya fronts: During the last five days, Russian army has continued to make infiltrations into the ruins of the Krasny Oktyabr Plant and the former Ukrtsink plant, as well as the Zinkovy district inside the city of Kostiantynivka. Meanwhile, in the city of Chasov Yar, Ukrainian army has made further infiltrations into the Levanevskoho district and the Shevchenka district, which is now largely a grey zone following recent Russian counter-attacks.
Situation on Shakhovskoy, Dobropolskaya & Pokrovsk fronts: During the last three weeks, Russian army has managed to advance west of the railway line towards Bilytske, from where Russian forces continue to infiltrate the locality. Furthermore, during the last five days Russian troops are continuing to consolidate their positions to the north and north-east of Hryshyne.
Situation on Pokrovskaya, Velikomikhailovskaya & Novomykolaivka fronts: During the last week Russian army repelled Ukrainian incursions in Novoivanivka, Novohryhorivka and Novomykolaivka, recapturing a significant number of positions. This enabled Russian forces to drive Ukrainian army out of Zlahoda and advance to the outskirts of Pryvillya. Positions south of Ternove were also recaptured.
