Ukrainian forces have made notable gains in the northern Sumy region, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky said, citing heavy Russian losses in Donetsk and Kharkiv. Progress was also reported near Kupiansk in northeast Kharkiv, while Ukrainian troops continue resisting around Dobropillia-Pokrovsk in Donetsk, Reuters reported.

Russia claimed advances near Pokrovsk, and in Kherson, shelling and drone attacks killed two civilians. The conflict remains intense and fluid across multiple frontlines.
