I believe there is a artillery battle going on in the area between Izium and Balakliya. RU reports about UA establishing OPs around Zalyman. They also say UA is gathering bridging equipment. There have been a lot of fires in the area, and RU repair hub was shelled multiple times.
Full-scale invasion and national resilience, broadcasted live.

UA notes Russian movement toward Barvinkove, Komyshuvakha marked
UA reported today about RU moving units to the south of the SD river in preparation for a new attack in the direction of Barvinkove. I have marked Velyka Komyshuvakha as captured, but this is probably old news.

According to Ru sources, they have captured Shandryholove, and are advancing on Novoselivka. As usual, trusting RU telegram is like trusting a RU military unit with your vodka.

Russian attempts to cross the SD near Bilohorivka/Serebrianka (12 words max)
RU forces made at least 3 attempts to cross the SD river around Bilohorivka and Serebrianka. Around 18:00 Kyiv time yesterday, there were no pontoon bridges crossing the river according to Sentinel SAR images. There might still be RU units stranded on the south side of the SDRiv.

Russian forces advance on Severodonetsk, capture Yampil
RU forces are advancing on Severodonetsk from the north and east. Most of Rubizhne is probably under RU controll by now. I do believe the entire area between Rub and Siv plus east of them should be considered contested. Yampil has been completely captured by RU forces.

Russian forces attempt breakthrough north from Popasna, weak point
RU forces are trying to break north from Popasna, direction -> Komyshuvakha. This area seems to lack the old pre-arranged fortifications. This might be a weak point for UA. Ru forces claimed control over Nyzhnie a while back but I believe the area is still contested.

Ukraine forces may have breached Karlovsky reservoir dam to stop Russian advance
UA forces might have blown a damn to hinder RU advancement. I hear it might be the "Karlovsky reservoir". I'm unsure of this, I dont see the tactical advantage at this point. h/t @TheBarrenNorth https://
