Donetsk direction: liberation of Nevel'skoye.

– Although the main attention is now focused on the fighting in the border area, the offensive of Russian troops in Donbass continues, including in the Donetsk direction.

– Yesterday evening footage emerged of the raising of the Russian flag by soldiers of the 110th Motorized Rifle Brigade on the western outskirts of Nevelskoye. Over the years of fighting it has been reduced to ruins, and numerous assaults have resulted in losses of personnel and equipment.

- Earlier, the Russian Ministry of Defense reported on the establishment of control over the long-suffering village, but the information was not confirmed. With the emergence of new objective evidence, we can say that the long-term battle for the settlement is over.

- At the same time, units of the Russian Armed Forces continue to advance in Krasnogorovka and have advanced on the outskirts, occupying houses on Engels and Sedov Streets. Most of the city has been liberated, but there is still fighting ahead for the Lenin Kolkhoz microdistrict.

– Also, Russian troops continue to attack in Maksimilyanovka from the side of the previously captured Georgievka, although no changes in the configuration of the LBS have been recorded there over the past few days.

Slobozhansky direction: PR sortie of the Ukrainian Armed Forces and the situation in Vovchansk.

– Against the backdrop of the Ukrainian offensive in the Kursk region, the situation in the Slobozhansky direction also remains tense. And if heavy positional battles continue in the area of Vovchansk, Staritsa and Glubokoe in the Khar'kov region, then in the Belgorod border area the enemy has decided to make a new media sortie.

– In the morning hours, the Ukrainian Armed Forces launched a series of strikes on the Graivoron urban district, including the village of Poroz, located 2.5 kilometers from the Russian-Ukrainian border. While the village was being bombarded with artillery, a group of the enemy advanced in its direction.

– In Poroz, Ukrainian saboteurs quickly recorded a video near the building of the local village club and hastily retreated, capturing two local residents. Later, these shots were posted by Ukrainian resources, and the village itself was closed for entry.

– According to some information, members of the Ukrainian Armed Forces conducted another PR raid a little further southeast, filming a similar video in the village of Mokraya Orlovka. However, the recording was never published: apparently, either the raid was not so successful, or the enemy decided to publish them later.

Meanwhile, in the north of the Khar'kov region, fierce fighting has continued for the fourth month in a row:

– The situation in the Glubokoe area remains quite tense: although the enemy has not carried out counterattacks for a long time, it is actively using drones to strike evacuation groups and supply lines of the Russian Armed Forces leading to the village.

- In the Staritsa area, the configuration of the front in the Kogutovo tract was once again clarified. Considering the constant artillery attack of Ukrainian positions in this area, it is obvious that units of the Russian Armed Forces have not occupied positions there since the offensive in the Khar'kov region.

– In Vovchansk itself, Russian troops have slightly improved their tactical situation. The enemy is using drones to strike positions in the buildings on Korolenko Street, where the Russian Armed Forces’ attack aircraft were able to advance a hundred meters. A similar situation is at the aggregate plant, where the Ukrainian Armed Forces are trying to destroy the surviving workshops using explosives delivered on tracked platforms.

– Also, a few days ago, statements appeared in the Russian media about the Russian Armed Forces’ control over Sotnitsky Kazachok and Lukashovka. However, both settlements have changed hands more than once – there is simply no place to take up defensive positions there, and during heavy artillery shelling, the forces holding them retreat.
