According to the president, "Ukraine is proving that it really knows how to return justice and guarantees exactly the kind of pressure that is needed - pressure on the aggressor."

18:35 Ukrainian OSINT project DeepState reports that the Russian army today advanced near Peschanoye, Stelmakhovka in the Kupyansk direction, Ivanovka in the Pokrovsk direction and Krasnogorovka in Kurakhovsky. According to analysts, the Russians are trying to cordon off part of the Defense Forces positions near Stelmakhovka and Peschanoye. North of the latter, the enemy will try to reach the heights to the north after encirclement, which will give them new opportunities for further advance on Kolesnikovka, DeepState notes.
17:18 In Volchansk, the Russian army, as part of preparations for conducting assault operations, carried out a regrouping of assault groups of the 153rd tank regiment, and is also conducting an internal rotation of personnel in units of the 138th separate motorized rifle brigade, the Kharkov group of troops reported.

The head of the Ministry of Defense of the Republic of Belarus Viktor Khrenin reported that Lukashenko gave instructions to strengthen the group of troops in the country in the Gomel and Mozyr tactical directions. In particular, according to him, special operations forces and missile troops, including Polonez rocket systems and Iskander complexes, were tasked with marching to "designated areas."
Lukashenko later said that he intended to personally deal with the "unsettled situation" on the border with Ukraine on the spot.

15:24 The Ukrainian Navy and the Main Intelligence Directorate have struck one of the gas rigs in the Black Sea seized by Russia.

09:23 The US Institute for the Study of War (ISW) believes that Russia does not want to redeploy troops to the Kursk region in order not to disrupt the offensive. According to analysts, to counter the offensive in the Kursk region, the Russian military command is relying on existing units deployed in the border area and on easily accessible forces in the rear, most of which are units staffed by conscripts and irregulars.
According to ISW, the Russian military command has transferred forces from unspecified operational reserves, additional units staffed by conscripts, special forces, special operations forces, additional Chechen special forces Akhmat, as well as the 1st Army Corps of the "DPR" and former Wagner Group servicemen to areas of the Kursk region.

06:26 If Russian troops advance at the same speed as in other directions, they will need a year to recapture the lost territories in the Kursk region, writes The Washington Post. The publication notes that the sudden breakthrough of the Ukrainian Armed Forces is the most serious challenge for Putin since the Wagner rebellion. Kiev's successes raise the morale of Ukrainian troops and civilians and at the same time hit the reputation of the Russian authorities and military hard.
According to the publication, the Ukrainian Armed Forces have already occupied more than 20 Russian border villages and at least one city in part, and are now advancing toward the Kursk Nuclear Power Plant. The article notes that Ukrainian brigades will have time to dig in at fortified positions, which could potentially give Kyiv a powerful trump card in the event of an upcoming ceasefire or peace talks.
01:51 A counter-terrorist operation regime has been introduced in the Bryansk, Kursk and Belgorod regions of the Russian Federation "in connection with the increase in the level of sabotage and terrorist threats from Ukraine," the National Anti-Terrorism Committee of the Russian Federation reported. In connection with the CTO regime, additional measures are being taken in the three regions "to ensure security, maintain law and order and strengthen the protection of facilities." The NAC added that Kiev has made "an unprecedented attempt to destabilize the situation" in a number of Russian regions.
