The Armed Forces of Ukraine continue to advance successfully in Kurshchyna – ISW maps.

Ukrainian forces have made tactical advances on the Ukrainian bulge in the Kursk region. The operation marked the initial stage of a coordinated Ukrainian offensive in the area. This indicates an activation of Ukrainian troops and a continuation of intensive offensive operations.

AFU Operation in Kurshchyna

On January 6, Ukrainian forces launched a tactical offensive in various directions in the Kursk region. In particular, they advanced into the settlements of Berdyne, Ruske Porichchia, and Novosotnytske. However, the Russian side claimed successes in repelling attacks, although these claims lack confirmation.

In general, the operation of the Armed Forces of Ukraine in the Kursk region marks the beginning of a broader Ukrainian offensive. Analysts cannot predict what the next steps will be within this operation and how it will unfold.

Luhansk Region

Russian forces have continued offensive actions in the Luhansk direction. In particular, they have advanced northwest of Kreminna and captured several settlements. Analysts cannot yet confirm all of the Russian side's claims regarding the successes of their army.

Donetsk Region

Russian forces continued offensive operations in Toretsk. They made advances in various directions in the city; however, some claims from Russian milbloggers lack visual confirmation. Ukrainian troops also attempted to advance in the Pokrovsk direction.

Thus, the conflict in eastern Ukraine continues, with an ambiguous situation and a lack of a clear forecast for future developments.
