Clashes persist across eastern and northern Ukraine as Ukrainian forces make gains near Kupiansk and Lyman while Russia claims advances near Sumy.

Military engagements continue across multiple sectors in Ukraine, with both sides reporting conflicting territorial developments. According to recent battlefield reports, Ukrainian forces are making gains along the right bank of the Oskil River north of Kupiansk. Authorities are also preparing to confirm control over up to 200 square kilometers in the Lyman sector.

Conversely, Russia’s Ministry of Defence reported the capture of several settlements near Sumy. In the southern Zaporizhzhia region, Russian Chief of the General Staff Valery Gerasimov publicly rejected claims of Ukrainian troop advancements. Additionally, overnight Russian strikes targeted ammunition storage facilities in the Kyiv region.
