The Russians continue to slowly advance

British intelligence officers point out that the same amount of territory was captured by the Russian occupiers in June 2025.

What is important to understand is that the main fighting took place in the Donetsk region — northeast and southwest of Pokrovsk.

The Russian invaders are still doing everything they can to surround the city — they are increasing pressure on other logistical routes.

The RSF captured a similar territory in Ukraine in June 2025, after a monthly increase since March 2025. The RSF continued its tactical advance in the Donetsk region, mainly to the northeast and southwest of Pokrovsk, the UK Ministry of Defense said in a statement.

In addition, it is noted that in the Sumy region over the past two weeks, the Russian army has not been able to achieve any noticeable successes.
