According to the latest data from the Institute for the Study of War (ISW), Russian forces have intensified their offensive operations both in border areas of Russia and on Ukrainian territory. Advancement is taking place in multiple directions, including in the Kursk region and in the Donbas. However, confirmed changes on the front line remain minimal.
Situation in Kursk Region
Geolocation data indicates the advancement of Russian units to the west of the settlement of Mala Loknya, near Sudzha. This likely occurred as a result of a mechanized attack carried out by a unit of the Russian 155th Marine Infantry. However, ISW analysts have not identified visual confirmations of claims of capturing new positions, including Plekhovo, Lyubimivka, and Tolstoy Luh.
In addition, Russian sources report alleged Ukrainian troop concentration in this region. Despite these claims, there is no confirmed change in the front line.
