Russian Troops Advance Across Donetsk, Dnipropetrovsk, Sumy, Luhansk Regions

Russian forces have made advances in multiple regions of Ukraine, including populated areas near Ternovoye, Yanvarsky, Sosnovka, and Voronnoye in Dnipropetrovsk region, as well as Zvirove in Donetsk region, according to DeepState analysts. Despite claims by the Ukrainian General Staff denying occupation of some villages like Zaporizhzhya and Novogeorgievka, ongoing engagements and territorial changes have been reported. Additional Russian advances were noted in Yunakivka in Sumy Oblast, Serebrianske forestry in Luhansk Oblast, and near Sichneve in Dnipropetrovsk region, with at least 184 combat clashes recorded along the front. Ukrainian forces have reportedly pushed back Russian troops in some areas, including near Tovste in Donetsk Oblast, and have liberated Udachne, yet Russian-controlled territory has expanded by over 64 square kilometers recently. The situation remains fluid with Russian redeployment of elite units from Sumy and Kherson sectors to Donetsk for intensified operations. These developments underscore ongoing intense conflict dynamics in eastern and northeastern Ukraine.
