Some stuff to note and make screenshots of.
The new thing is the opening of the Sumy front. While the Russians recaptured the occupied parts of Kursk oblast in April, they pushed into Sumy a bit. Since then they are grinding forward there, and in the past 7 days they did considerable advancements.
It looks something like pic #1. It seems the front moves each day.
Wyatt of DPA speculates that the frontline will stabilize somewhere along the forest, and the Russians will try to move around Sumy on the west.
This front >>/54194/ doesn't really moves for a while now.
There is a movement from Nevske towards Oskil, on the Lyman front. Russian were here already. They pushed the front to Nevske in 2024 autumn and December where it sit for a while. They captured Ivanivka on the other side of that lake of the Zherebets river on January 6, and the front sit again.
They started to push in March, considerable advancements happened on the 21st, and since then there are captures on most of the days.
Now they are approaching the Nitrius river with its lakes near Karpivka.
Seems might Zelena Dolyna will fall soon.
Matt of WillyOAM speculates they want to push towards the Oskil river, to create a trap on the eastern side of it. They don't have to capture the town of Oskil, just approach towards Lozove and Rubtsi, and from under 10km they could reasonably choke supply flowing in with drones. It will be a serious problem, more serious than that bulge at Kupiansk, for there is no bridge over that segment of the dammed up river.
