Over the past 24 hours, Russian occupiers have advanced near the villages of Yampil in Lyman community and Novomarkove in Kostiantynivka community of Kramatorsk district of Donetsk region, as well as near the villages of Rivnopillia and Novo-Uspenivske in Huliai-Pole community of Polohivsky district of Zaporizhia region.
"The enemy has advanced near Yampil, Novo-Markove, Rivnopillia, and Novo-Uspenivske," the DeepState OSINT project reported on its Telegram channel on Monday.
However, there is no talk of specific settlements coming under enemy control.
Rivnopillia and Novo-Uspenivske are shown on DeepState maps as occupied by the enemy, Novomarkove is under the control of the Ukrainian Armed Forces, and Yampil is partially in the "gray zone" of undetermined control and partially under the control of the Ukrainian Armed Forces.
The enemy-controlled area in Huliai-Pole axis increased by 8.13 square kilometers over the past 24 hours, while the "gray zone" decreased by 8.94 square kilometers. In Kramatorsk direction, where Novo-Uspenivske is located, the occupied area increased by 1.62 square kilometers, while the "gray zone" decreased by 1.61 square kilometers. In Lyman axis, the occupied area increased by 2.41 square kilometers, while the "gray zone" decreased by 2.43 square kilometers.
There are no changes on other front lines.
Thus, according to DeepState maps, the enemy advanced in three directions over the past 24 hours, capturing 12.16 square kilometers of Ukrainian territory previously in the "gray zone," which, in turn, has decreased by 12.98 square kilometers.
As reported, the week before last, the occupiers increased their area of control by an average of 12.8 square kilometers per day, which was 43% more than the week before, while the "gray zone" increased by an average of 6.9 square kilometers per day.
