Clashes persist on Ukrainian frontlines as Kyiv and Moscow report opposing gains
Fighting continues across Ukrainian frontlines, with Kyiv reporting gains near Kupiansk and Lyman, while Moscow claims progress around Sumy and denies losses in Zaporizhzhia.
Ukrainian forces are advancing north of Kupiansk along the right bank of the Oskil River, with reports indicating Kyiv may soon confirm regaining control over roughly 200 square kilometers near Lyman.
In contrast, Russia’s Ministry of Defence claimed its troops seized several settlements approaching Sumy and conducted strikes on ammunition depots located in the Kyiv region. Along the Zaporizhzhia frontline, Russian Chief of the General Staff Valery Gerasimov directly rejected reports of Ukrainian territorial progress, maintaining that Russian defensive lines remain firm.
The contrasting assessments underscore the fluid operational landscape across northern, eastern, and southern sectors of the conflict.
