Russian forces have made incremental advances across the front line in Ukraine, particularly in the Kursk region. The Institute for the Study of War reported that Russian troops have gained ground southeast of Korenevo and near the village of Darina. In the Luhansk region, fighting continues along the Kupiansk-Svatove-Kreminna line, with minor Russian advances reported near Dvorichna. The ISW noted that Moscow's forces have captured several locations, including Beretsky and Rozodolne. Ukrainian soldiers have expressed concerns about personnel shortages, which may hinder their defense efforts. Reports indicate that Russia's recent advances are among the largest seen this year, raising alarms about the situation on the ground.
