In the Pokrovs'ke direction, over the past 5 days, Ukrainian forces have been carrying out clearing operations against lightly-manned Russian positions, as well as some larger counterattacks. Contrary to what I reported earlier, no large-scale counteroffensive is underway.
In the northeast, after accumulating significant amounts of infantry in the village of Orestopil, Ukrainian forces began pushing south down numerous treelines and gulleys, clearing out poorly-consolidated Russian positions all the way to Oleksiivka and Sosnivka. They were then able to enter Sosnivka and establish full control over the village and some surrounding positions. Other assault groups attempted to penetrate further south, but reached the more dug-in Russian positions north of Berezove and were unable to make any further progress.
To the west, Ukrainian forces advanced south from their bridgehead over the Vovcha River in the area of Tykhe, towards the village of Oleksiivka, and were able to capture the village of Vovche as well as 3 parallel treelines and a forested gulley to the west. They also attempted to attack Russian positions in the direction of Novooleksandrivka, but without any confirmed success.
To the southwest, Ukrainian forces completed their clearing operations in the southeastern part of Ternuvate, and brought in significant reinforcements to the area which were then used to cross the Haichur River and attack Russian positions in Nove Zaporizhzhya and Dobropillya. Some vehicles managed to reach Dobropillya, but it is unclear if they were able to gain a foothold. Attacks were also carried out further east in the direction of Zlahoda, while the Russians resumed their attacks on Ukrainian positions in northern Nove Zaporizhzhya.
Additionally, the Ukrainians completed their clearing operations in the village of Prydorozhnje, and captured positions in the railway windbreaks to the east. Mechanised attacks were also carried out from Vozdvyzhivka in the direction of Pryluky. Some soldiers managed to dismount at the northern outskirts of Pryluky, however it is unclear if they went on to seize a foothold in the village.
+ ~44.23 km² in favour of Ukraine.
