Russian forces advanced in Donetsk region near the village of Serednie in the Lyman community of Kramatorsk district north of Sviatohirsk, the village of Maiske in the Kostiantynivka community near Chasiv Yar, the settlement of Kotlyne in the Pokrovsk community west of the city, as well as near the village of Krasnohirsk in Zaporizhzhia region on the border with Dnipropetrovsk.
“The enemy advanced near Serednie, Maiske, Kotlyne, and Krasnohirsk,” the OSINT project DeepState reported on Telegram on Monday.
There is no mention of the Russian forces taking full control of any settlements.
On the project maps: Serednie is shown as previously occupied by the Russian troops, Maiske is under Ukrainian Armed Forces control, Krasnohirsk is in the “gray zone,” and Kotlyne is partially occupied and partially in the “gray zone.”
On the Novopavlivka front, where Krasnohirsk is located, the area under Russian control increased by 4.17 sq km over the past day, while the “gray zone” grew significantly—by 29.88 sq km.
On the Pokrovsk front, the Russia-controlled area increased by 4.54 sq km, while the “gray zone” decreased by 1.55 sq km. On the Chasiv Yar front, the area under Russian control grew by 4.1 sq km, and the “gray zone” decreased by 1.62 sq km. On the Lyman front, the occupation area increased by 6.09 sq km, and the “gray zone” grew by another 2.51 sq km.
Other sections of the front remained unchanged.
Thus, over the past day, the Russian forces expanded their control by 19 sq km, and the “gray zone” grew by 29.66 sq km, mainly due to changes on the Novopavlivka front.
Last week, the Russian forces increased the area under their control by an average of 12.8 sq km per day, 43% more than the previous week, while the “gray zone” grew by an average of 6.9 sq km daily.
