Russian forces have largely completed their withdrawal from the salient stretching from Andriivka to Yehorivka in the Pokrovs'ke direction, which was initiated some time around February 12 due to the risk of encirclement from the localised Ukrainian counteroffensive.

As such, Ukrainian forces were able to recapture Andriivka, Ostapivske, and Nechaivka, have likely cleared Danylivka (still requires further confirmation), and are now fighting for Yehorivka.

This action by the Russians was pre-planned, and has been expected to take place for some time. These were some of the last remaining lightly-manned areas of the Pokrovs'ke direction, meaning that from now on, practically all Ukrainian attacks will take place in much more fortified and consolidated areas, which is already resulting in a sharp increase in Ukrainian casualties.

Additionally, once this withdrawal is fully completed, the line of contact will be significantly shortened, simplifying Russia's defensive operation as well as future stabilising counterattacks.

In the Rai-Oleksandrivka and Lyman directions, both Russian and Ukrainian forces have advanced.

In the southeast, Russian forces improved their positions in the forests and treelines overlooking Riznykivka, and entered the forested gulley to the northwest. They are now infiltrating further south down this gulley and the next gulley to the west. Meanwhile, Ukrainian assault groups are attacking Russian positions in the treelines southeast of Riznykivka.

To the northwest, the Russians captured the positions in the chalk hills which they previously entered, and began pushing southwest, clearing additional Ukrainian strongpoints, and entering the northeastern houses of Kryva Luka. On the otherhand, Ukrainian forces cleared out Russian infiltrators from the treelines southeast of Kryva Luka.

To the north, Russian forces captured some additional positions in the chalky hills, south of Zakitne, where Ukrainian forces are currently operationally encircled. They also completed the capture of Zakitne, driving the Ukrainians out of their last positions in the western part of the village. Additionally, the Russians entered the forests southeast of Ozerne and captured some positions there, while other forces cleared the remaining positions east of the village and continued attacking the last Ukrainian positions in the southern streets.

In the northwest, Russian forces continued pushing west from Dibrova, capturing new positions in the forests in two areas in the direction of Brusivka. They also broke through Ukrainian positions further north, capturing new parts of the forest in the direction of Staryi Karavan, with some soldiers coming within 600 metres of the village, where fighting is now underway.

+ ~6.85 km² in favour of Russia.
+ ~0.58 km² in favour of Ukraine.

In the Kostyantynivka direction, Russian forces continued their offensive operation and have made new progress south of Kostyanytnivka.

In the southwest, Russian forces improved their positions in the treelines west of the forested gulley leading to Illinivka, and continued infiltrating the eastern part of the village.

To the east, the Russians captured new treeline positions north of the highway and continued infiltrating the southwestern suburbs of Kostyantynivka via the industrial zone. Fighting is ongoing with small groups of infantry in the high-rise blocks of the Pivdenny, Nuloviy, Soniachnyi, and 2nd Districts, as well as the private sectors of the Berestoviy and Prohresyvnyi Districts, where both sides are currently attacking.

Further east, Russian forces captured the remaining positions south of the Klebina Gulley and began infiltrating the area of the landfill. They also resumed assault operations on the enterprises adjacent to the Kostyantynivka Railway Station.

In the northeast, Russian forces began infiltrating towards the village of Chervone from the south and the east, where large grey-zones have formed.

In the Dobropillya direction, both Russian and Ukrainian forces are attacking, with Russian forces making new progress in two different areas.

In the south, after extensive artillery and drone preparation, Russian forces stormed the final Ukrainian stronghold in Rodynske, and captured the last parts of the city centre and western streets, bringing the city under their full control, and therefore establishing full control over the Pokrovsk agglomeration.

To the north, after entering Sukhetske from the east, the Russians were able to establish full control over the village. Additionally, they are continuing their deep infiltrations to the former Vodyanskaya No. 2 Mine west of the highway, while Ukrainian forces are carrying out counterattacks aimed at eliminating these infiltrators and clearing the grey-zone. Ukrainian assault groups are also carrying out clearing operations in the area of the road west of Dorozhnje.

In the Pokrovs'ke direction, Ukrainian forces continued their counteroffensive, making some additional gains amid fierce Russian resistance.

After recapturing the village of Vidradne, Ukrainian forces continued advancing south towards the Yanchur River. They were able to capture a number of treeline positions west of the highway, as well as some trench fortifications south of Vidradne, and continued attacks on the village of Andriivka. They also improved their positions in the treelines southeast of the village.

Meanwhile, the Ukrainians continued attacking south of the tributary of the Yanchur River, but without any new confirmed successes. Fighting continues for the central parts of Vyshneve and Verbove, as well as in the treelines southwest of Verbove. Russian forces have significantly intensified their artillery, drone, and glide-bomb strikes on Ukrainian assault groups, resulting in a sharp rise in casualties, and are now fighting in a much more coordinated manner with a shortened line of contact and more manpower at their disposal.

In the Komyshuvakha direction, Ukrainian forces continued their counterattacks and have made new progress in three different areas.

In the west, Ukrainian forces continued pushing through Prymorske, crossing the Pererva Gulley and reaching more entrenched Russian positions in the centre of the village. They were able to establish control over the central part of Prymorske and began infiltrating Russian positions in the southern streets, where a layered zone has formed with both Russian and Ukrainian positions overlapping. Additionally, Ukrainian forces were able to capture the last parts of the Pererva Gulley and began pushing southeast down Hnidoho Road towards the intersection with the M-18 Highway.

To the east, the Ukrainians crossed the Pererva Gulley, and advanced down the M-18 Highway, where they captured some positions in the treelines just south of the gulley. From there, small groups are advancing southwest down the highway, with some soldiers managing to infiltrate behind Russian lines and entrench in a few houses in the central part of Plavni.

In the southeast, Ukrainian forces secured a number of treeline positions north of Stepnohirsk, as well as some of the northern streets of the town, paving the way for reinforcements to arrive. They also expanded the grey-zone in the northern part of the town, where both Russian and Ukrainian soldiers remain. Russian forces retain full control over the central block of high-rise buildings.

New sentinel satellite imagery reveals that most of the Iskander-M ballistic missiles aimed at Kirovohrad Oblast struck Kanatove Airbase, which is home to Ukrainian Su-24 and Su-27 aircraft.

Judging by the crater sizes, all of these were Iskander-Ms rather than S-400 ground-to-ground missiles. 11 impact craters are visible, and considering the fact that there are no known Patriot batteries operating in Kirovohrad Oblast, the other 4 missiles which were detected flying to the region probably impacted something else.

In the Omelnyk direction, Russian forces continued their assault operations and have made new progress in two different areas.

In the south, Russian forces continued advancing southwest of Hulyaipole and have reversed all Ukrainian progress in the fields there. They were able to resecure the treeline positions directly west of the highway and began advancing from the flanks from the north and south, capturing positions in numerous different treelines. They also pushed northwest again, back up the railway windbreaks, recapturing previously lost positions there, and are now attempting to attack from the fields to the east and establish themselves along the rest of the railway line.

To the northwest, Russian soldiers continued entering Zaliznychne from the northeast and southeast in small groups, and are engaged in fighting for the central and western parts of the town. Ukrainian forces are constantly counterattacking, slowing Russian progress and preventing them from consolidating. Additionally, Russian forces captured positions in the gulley east of Tsvitkove and have infiltrated the village, which now resides in the grey-zone.

The restrictions imposed on Ukrainian channels regarding sharing information on the Ukrainian counteroffensive operations is slowly being lifted, with more and more channels talking about successes.

These are the same channels which previously claimed there was no counteroffensive, and that most Russian maps were incorrect. Over the next few weeks, this will continue to be lifted further, and the situation will become clearer. The Ukrainian OPSEC operation which aimed to conceal the first stages of the counteroffensive appears to be largely over.

Meanwhile, Ukrainian advances have significantly slowed over the past 5 days, and casualties are beginning to mount, as Russia concentrates significant air and artillery fire in this direction. They are still advancing in multiple areas of the Pokrovs'ke and Hulyaipole directions, and will continue to advance for likely at least the next week.

Ukrainian forces are now pushing through areas with a much higher Russian troop presence, and once the Russian withdrawals from forward positions are complete, the line of contact will be significantly shortened and Russia will begin being able to contain the advance and push back in some tactically important areas.
