Additionally, some data on the map is generalised, as stated in the legend. It also does not include less significant weapons such as MLRS, short-range UAVs, and KAB glide-bombs (unless they hit major population centres).

Russian forces have recaptured the village of Oleksandro-Kalynove, Kostyantynivka direction, Donetsk Oblast.

Pre-war population: ~115
Total land area: ~0.42km²

In the Stepnohirsk Direction, Russian forces continued to make steady progress and have entered the town of Stepnohirsk.

After completing the capture of Kamyanske and making advances nearby, Russian forces continued to push north on a wide front, moving uphill to the tactical heights, and capturing numerous treeline positions. They then began storming the block of high-rise buildings in the south of the town and established a foothold in its southern end.

To the west, Russian forces continued to advance in the village of Plavni, and completed the capture of the settlement. They also expanded their zone of control along the adjacent highway.

+ ~9.56km² in favour of Russia.

In the Prosyana Direction, Russian forces continued to advance and have crossed the border into Zaporizhzhia Oblast.

Russian forces advanced in two areas. Most progress was made in the north, where they advanced on a wide front. The Russians continued to advance west of Zelene Pole and entered southern Temyrivka. The rest of the village fell quite quickly, with the Ukrainian withdrawing to the surrounding areas.

To the east, Russian forces made new progress down the treelines in the direction of Novoheorhiivka and Komyshuvakha, capturing positions in 6 different treelines.

In the south, Russian forces advanced from the village of Novodarivka, along the Zaporizhzhia-Donetsk Regional Border, and captured new positions in the low-lying ground.

+ ~13.38km² in favour of Russia.

Following the fall of Chasiv Yar, the remaining city administrative and military officials in Kramatorsk have begun to relocate to Dnipro. Evacuations of civilians is also being ramped up.

It's now clear why the Donetsk OVA Head announced the mandatory evacuation of families with children so suddenly last week - they knew Chasiv Yar was about to fall.

Russian forces have captured the village of Zatyshok, Pokrovsk direction, Donetsk Oblast.

Pre-war population: ~62.

I should've mentioned this earlier, but the chat connected to this channel will now have stricter moderation. Temporary mutes will be handed out to people using slurs, or insulting others excessively, and permanent mutes or occasionally bans will be given for more serious infractions such as posting uncensored gore, nudity, etc. Just use common sense and don't be a jerk, and you will be fine.

There will still be free-speech and people are welcome to voice their opinions whether you are Pro-Russian, Pro-Ukraine, Neutral, or anything else, but it must be done in a respectful manner. You are allowed to criticize admins, but within obvious limits.

When you have a channel with many conflicting perspectives, you need stricter moderation, or otherwise it falls apart. I aim for the chat to become more productive, but also not formal. Appeals will be in DMs.

Rules are now pinned in the chat. https://t.iss.one/AMK_Mapping_Chat/139040
