Ukrainian forces advanced in Russia’s Kursk Oblast and near Kurakhove, while Russian troops pushed forward in Vovchansk, Lyman, and Pokrovsk, the Institute for the Study of War (ISW) reported on Feb. 14.

Analysts reviewing geolocation footage from February 13-14 report that Ukrainian forces have advanced in a forested area north of Kositsa, northeast of Sudzha in Russia’s Kursk Oblast, while Russian forces are pushing forward on the southern outskirts of Sverdlikovo, west of Sudzha.

Russian military units claim full control of Sverdlikovo, but the Institute for the Study of War (ISW) has not confirmed this.
