Ukrainian and Russian forces report active frontline shifts across multiple sectors

Heavy military operations persist across several eastern and southern sectors in Ukraine, with opposing forces reporting contrasting gains. North of Kupiansk, Ukrainian troops continue advancing along the right bank of the Oskil River. Ukrainian officials are also expected to formally confirm the liberation of roughly 200 square kilometers near Lyman.

Meanwhile, Russia's Ministry of Defence claimed its forces captured several settlements approaching Sumy and conducted targeted strikes on ammunition depots within the Kyiv region. On the southern Zaporizhzhia axis, Russian General Staff Chief Valery Gerasimov publicly refuted claims of Ukrainian operational progress, denying any territorial concessions. Both sides maintain conflicting accounts of ongoing frontline shifts.
