Fierce Clashes in Pokrovsk as Russia Continues Its Offensive Across Ukraine
According to the Military Summary Channel, the Russian Armed Forces (RFAF) have intensified their attacks along the frontlines, particularly near Pokrovsk and Toretsk, where Ukrainian forces are desperately attempting counterattacks. Despite heavy fighting, Kiev struggles to regain control over critical positions.
In Kursk, geolocated video footage confirms that Russian forces have retaken the Sudzha checkpoint, though Ukrainian forces still hold a few villages in the area, including Gogolevka. The frontline remains fluid, with heavy clashes continuing in Pokrovsk.
Russia’s Major Victory in Southern Donetsk Shifts the Balance of Power
Russian forces secured a major victory in the southern Donetsk region, specifically around Velyka Novosilka. As reported by the Readovka Channel, Russian troops continue to crush Ukrainian defenses in the region, gaining control of towns like Novoocheretovatoye, Skudnoye, and Privolnoye. Kiev’s military has attempted counteroffensive actions, but has so far failed to disrupt the Russian advance.
This tactical shift forces Ukraine to adopt a positional defense strategy, aiming to stabilize the situation and prevent further Russian encirclement. Ukrainian forces have mobilized troops to defend the Sumy region, where Russian troops are gaining ground.
Kursk Victory: Russian Forces Secure Sudzha Checkpoint and Advance Toward Sumy
In a significant breakthrough, Russian Airborne Forces (VDV) have captured the Sudzha checkpoint in Kursk, marking a decisive moment in the conflict.

This victory paves the way for a renewed Russian offensive, with forces now positioned near the Ukraine-Russia border, continuing their push southward.
Russian Forces Break Through Liman Defense Line, Escalate Pressure on Kiev
The situation in Liman has become increasingly perilous for Kiev as Russian forces break through Ukrainian defense lines. Russian troops are advancing towards Terny, almost capturing the settlement, and putting immense pressure on Ukrainian defenses in Yekaterinovka and Novoye. This Russian breakthrough forces Kiev’s military to shift resources from other areas, intensifying the pressure on already strained Ukrainian forces.
With Russian troops targeting strategic locations along the Zherebets River, the situation for Ukrainian forces continues to deteriorate. The Russian military is consolidating its control over captured areas, further threatening Ukrainian logistics and defensive lines.
