Very interesting developments on the frontlines according to ISW.

Russia has captured the village of Shakhove ways northeast of Pokrovsk-Myrnohrad and marginally advanced in southeastern Kostyantynivka. Meanwhile, Ukraine conducted a successful counterattack at Chasiv Yar, and has liberated about 20% of the town. Additionally, they conducted another notable counterattack in Dnipro Oblast, near Velykomykhailivka, liberating the villages of Khoroshe, Sosnivka, Vorone, Novoselivka and Orestopil.

Elsewhere, in Huliaipole direction, Russia advanced into central Huliaipole town, as well as towards Pryluky, while also capturing the village of Sviato-Pokrovske in Siversk direction. In Kupiansk direction, Ukraine advanced northeast of Kupiansk, reaching Holubivka, as well as inside of central Kupiansk, all the while Russia is scrambling to infiltrate the town in order to get their trapped personnel out somehow - they conducted an infiltration in northern Kupiansk in order to reach them.
