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

In the Kupyansk direction, Russian forces continued to advance and have made significant progress in the direction of Pishchane.

Following a series of Ukrainian counterattacks, Russian forces cleared the houses in western Stepova Novosilka which Ukraine had previously infiltrated, and pushed back down to railway line to the strongpoints in the area of the road bridge. These fortifications were subsequently captured, forcing a Ukrainian withdrawal further west, and a Russian advance further down the windbreaks on either side of the railway tracks. These positions are all on the tactical heights.

Additional pushes were made to the northwest, with Russian forces attacking down the treelines along the tactical heights, where they captured further positions north of the highway to Kupyansk in the treelines and forest plantations there.

+ ~10.80km² in favour of Russia.

In the Borova direction, Ukrainian forces counterattacked and regained some positions in Luhansk Oblast.

Ukrainian forces advanced from the southern forest west of Hrekivka, and cleared the adjacent treelines. They then moved south down the perpendicular treelines on the tactical heights, pushing along the western bank of the tributary of the Zherebets River, and pressuring the rear of the Russian garrison in Hrekivka.

+ ~0.99km² in favour of Ukraine.

In the Lyman direction, Russian forces continued to make incremental progress east of the Nitrius River, and have re-established a bridgehead on its western bank.

Russian forces advanced in three areas. In the northwest, they cleared the pocket east of the Nitrius River, and advanced back over one of the dams, establishing a foothold on the western bank in previously lost positions in southwestern Karpivka.

To the southeast, Russian forces continued to expand their zone of control west of Zelena Dolnya, and captured new positions on two opposite tactical heights, and in the forest plantations lining the gulley. They were also able to establish a foothold in the next set of forest plantations, northeast of Shandryholove.

In the east, Russian forces resumed their assault operations after being pushed out of Kolodyazi, and re-entered the village, capturing most of the industrial zone and part of the residential area in the centre of the settlement.

+ ~7.31km² in favour of Russia.

On the northeastern flank of Pokrovsk, Russian forces have achieved another localised breakthrough and have cut the railway line from Dobropillya.

Russian continued to push from the Fedorivka-Boikivka area and captured numerous positions in the forests and treelines on the tactical heights to the west. They advanced into and quickly captured Zatyshok, before immediately pushing southwest to Sukhetske which was also captured. Other positions in the surrounding areas were seized, and a general push to the railway line was made, resulting in a ~2.7km long section of it and the trench lines running parallel to it coming under Russian control.

Russian DRGs then began moving into northern Rodynske, carrying out operations in both the dachas and the northern residential areas. As a result northern Rodynske is currently in the grey zone. Additionally, by exploiting a gap in the trench lines, Russian forces began advancing towards the train station, although it's unclear if they achieved any success.

To the north, the Russian were able to complete the capture of Nykanorivka by pushing outwards from their foothold in the southern houses, and from the newly captured positions in the forests to the east. They then went on to establish control over the forests west and north of the village, and began attacking the freight train station at Dorozhnje. DRGs have already begun infiltrating the city of Bilytske from the east

Additionally, Russian forces cleared the rest of the salient west of Razine, recapturing the treeline positions there, and entered the eastern part of Chervonyi Lyman.

+ ~26.40km² in favour of Russia.

Russian forces have broken through to the northeastern outskirts of Siversk again, and captured an important trench strongpoint.

They have had more success so far than any of their previous failed attempts at entering the city, and the fighting has significantly intensified. It's possible that an attempt to capture Siversk is underway.

1 Russian Tu-22M3 strategic bomber is airborne from Shaykovka Airbase in Kaluga Oblast, flying to the launch lines in the Black Sea. It is currently over Rostov Oblast.

Correction: Its flying over southern Crimea, heading for the launch lines southwest of Sevastopol.
