The RF army is advancing in two directions on the eastern front.


The operational-strategic grouping of troops 'Khortytsia' reported active enemy actions in the Lyman and Kupiansk directions.
The Russian occupiers continue to advance on both sides of the Oskil River. In the Lyman direction, they are conducting offensive actions, while in the Kupiansk direction, they are trying to redeploy their forces. This was reported by the spokesman of the OSUV 'Khortytsia', Viktor Trehubov.
The Russians are attempting to establish a crossing over the Oskil River to supply their troops. They have already redeployed a certain number of forces, but supplying them is difficult. Therefore, they are now actively constructing a stable crossing to avoid reliance on boats.
The spokesman also noted that the enemy does not have many maneuvering places to achieve their main goal - reaching the borders of the Donetsk region. They have several directions that are important for controlling the area. They must attack Pokrovsk, which is a key point for controlling the Donetsk region. They also need to capture Toretsk and reach the Kramatorsk-Sloviansk agglomeration. Kostiantynivka is also important for achieving their plans.
