ISW analysts reported on the situation in the Kharkiv and Donetsk regions: maps of the occupiers' advance.


The occupiers continue rotation in the Kharkiv region and have advancement in the Donetsk region
The occupiers are conducting rotations in the Vovchansk area in the Kharkiv region and have advancements in the Donetsk region, reports "Hvylya", citing the Institute for the Study of War's analytics.
Since the beginning of the aggression, Russia continues to advance on different sections of the front, trying to break through the defense of the Ukrainian troops. Hostilities continue in the Hlyboke and Liptsi area in the Kharkiv region, as well as in the Vovchansk and Tykhe area. According to Russian propagandists, Ukrainian troops recently lost their positions in Vovchansk, but these changes on the front have not been confirmed.
In particular, in Vovchansk, Russian invaders are conducting evacuations and internal rotations at forward positions. In the north of the Kharkiv region, units of the Russian 83rd Airborne Brigade are operating.
Meanwhile, in Donbas, the enemy is showing activity, performing dozens of assault actions per day in an attempt to break through the defense of the AFU. The enemy attacks east of Siversk in the Verkhniokam'yanske area, southeast of Siversk in the Ivan-Darivka, Vyiimka, and Spirne areas, and south of Siversk in the Pereizne area.
Additionally, Russian troops continue offensive operations in the Chasiv Yar area, but no confirmed changes on the front line have been recorded. Also, the occupiers carried out offensive operations in the Novy and Zhovtnevyi microdistricts in the eastern part of Chasiv Yar, north of the city towards Hryhorivka, east in the Ivanivske area, and southeast of Chasiv Yar in the Klishchiivka and Andriivka areas.
It should be noted that Russia has launched more long-range drones into Ukraine than Ukraine itself.
