ISW: Ukraine advances in Russia’s Kursk Oblast, Russians gain ground near Kupiansk and Pokrovsk

Ukraine advances in Russia’s Kursk Oblast, while Russian forces gain ground near Kupiansk and Pokrovsk in eastern Ukraine, according to the Institute for the Study of War‘s (ISW) report from 23 September.

Russia continues advancing in eastern Ukraine’s Donetsk Oblast, leveraging its numerical superiority over Ukrainian troops and primarily relying on repeated frontal assaults.

In Kursk Oblast, Ukrainian forces have made advances in the Glushkovsky Raion, west of Ukraine’s salient. Geolocated footage from 23 September shows Ukrainian forces reaching the southern outskirts of Veseloye, southwest of Glushkovo. Russian sources claim Ukrainian attacks near Novy Put and Medvezhye, south of Glushkovo.

A Ukrainian airborne brigade reported breaking through another area along the Ukrainian-Russian border in Kursk Oblast, marking their second successful penetration. However, the exact location and timing of this breakthrough remain unverified.

In Kharkiv Oblast, Russian forces are reportedly switching to defensive operations north of Kharkiv City. Ukrainian Kharkiv Group of Forces Spokesperson Colonel Vitaliy Sarantsev stated that Russian forces are conducting defensive operations on the Hlyboke-Lyptsi line. This change in tactics may be a result of Ukraine’s incursion into Kursk Oblast, according to a Ukrainian drone battalion deputy commander.

The Russian military has intensified offensive operations near Vuhledar, attempting to reinforce local tactical successes. Russian sources claim advances northwest and west of Vodyane, and east of Vuhledar. Some Russian milbloggers report the seizure of the Pivdennodonbaska No. 3 mine west of Vodyane, which Ukrainian forces had used to protect Vuhledar’s northeastern flank.
