Ukrainian forces maintain defensive lines near Pokrovsk and Lyman while advancing near Kupiansk amid over 250 daily combat engagements across the eastern front line.

Ukrainian forces continue to face high operational intensity across eastern and northern sectors, with Ukraine's General Staff recording over 250 combat engagements within 24 hours.

Heavy ground combat remains focused around Pokrovsk, Lyman, and Kostiantynivka, where Ukrainian defenders repelled dozens of Russian assault attempts aimed at penetrating defensive lines. Meanwhile, near Kupiansk, Ukrainian infantry advanced along the right bank of the Oskil River following electronic warfare operations that successfully suppressed Russian drone capabilities.

Conflicting accounts persist regarding other front sectors. Russian defense authorities claimed to have captured several border settlements near Sumy, while Russian Chief of General Staff Valery Gerasimov explicitly denied reports of Ukrainian advances in the Zaporizhzhia region.
