Situation on Luhansk front: Positional battles took place south-west of Novovodyane, where the Russian Army was able to extend the buffer zone around the village. No major offensive operations are expected on this axis for the time being.
Situation north of Bakhmut: The Russian army took full control of the Popivske forest and began shelling the defences of the rest of the Popivske area. Following the resumption of the offensive, new Russian reinforcements are arriving in the area to launch an attack on the town of Chasiv Yar and reach the canal. To do so, the Russian troops will have to take control of the Ukrainian army's defensive belt built on the high ground overlooking the town of Ivanivske. Once the heights are taken, the Russian forces will resume their attacks from the town of Bakhmut and from the Popivske area, forcing the Ukrainian troops to abandon the town, leaving the way open to the canal and unblocking the situation in Klishchiivka.
Situation on Seversk front: After the capture of Zakhidna filtration plant Russian Army took control over the hills northwest of it. This area has changed hands during 2023, so it would not be surprising if the Ukrainian Army managed to reclaim it. As mentioned above, the Russians would end the Battle of Bilohorivka with the capture of the southern hill, which would force the Ukrainian troops to retreat.
Situation south of Bakhmut: During the last days Russian Army made small advances around the lakes southeast of Klishchiivka in order to take the railway section from there until Andriivka, under the control of Ukrainian Army or gray area.
Situation northwest of Doentsk: Russian Army continue advancing along Pershotravneva street in Pervomaiske. There is no truth about Russians reaching Shkilna and Lenina streets. However, Ukrainian Army is retreating to these aforementioned areas due to the Russian advance.
Situation southwest of Donetsk: During the last hours Russian Army advanced from south and northeast of Novomykhailivka taking control over the cemetery again. In addition, Russian troops made new advances west of Solodke towards the road T-05-24.
