Comprehensive Battlefront Breakdown: A Strategic Look at Every Front

The past few days have seen significant activity across multiple frontlines, with mixed outcomes for both Russian and Ukrainian forces. In Kursk, Ukrainian forces counterattacked south of Kruglenkoe, regaining control of critical territory, while Russian reliance on North Korean troops has resulted in minimal gains and massive casualties. Stability prevails in this sector as the Russian offensive appears to falter.

In Liman, Russian forces renewed their push toward Terny to eliminate a Ukrainian bridgehead east of the Zherebets River. While minor Russian gains were reported, logistical constraints have limited their overall progress, allowing Ukrainian defenders to maintain a critical buffer protecting Liman.

The Chasiv Yar direction remains contested, with Ukrainian forces holding the Refractory Plant after expelling Russian airborne units. However, recent Russian advances in low-rise areas to the north suggest an intent to encircle Ukrainian positions, raising concerns of an intensified assault.

In Pokrovsk, Ukrainian forces successfully halted Russian advances from the south, establishing a strong defensive line. However, Russian efforts have shifted to the southwest, aiming to semi-encircle the city by cutting key supply routes. Despite high Russian numerical advantages, Ukrainian defenses continue to hold for now.

The situation is most critical in Velyka Novosilka, where Russian forces have cut two major supply routes, threatening to encircle the town. As the anchor of Ukraine’s southern defensive line, its loss would have severe strategic implications, potentially expanding the conflict into Dnipropetrovsk.
