Ships of the Black Sea Fleet of the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation continue to avoid operations in the Sea of Azov. The enemy is relocating the remaining Black Sea Fleet assets within occupied Crimea due to the threat of UAV strikes by Ukrainian Defense Forces. Alternative Russian naval bases, such as those in Sochi or Tuapse, Krasnodar Krai, do not have the same level of protection as the naval base in Novorossiysk. The Black Sea Fleet attempts to use the port of Ochamchira in Abkhazia, Georgia.
155 Chinese citizens have been identified as participating in combat operations against Ukraine on the side of the Russian Federation. Chinese citizens serve in the 70th and 71st Motorized Rifle Regiments of the 42nd Motorized Rifle Division of the 58th Army, and the 255th Motorized Rifle Regiment of the 20th Motorized Rifle Division of the 8th Army.

Possible operation situation developments:
The plan for the enemy's spring-summer offensive campaign in the Southwestern Theater of Operations may be as follows: a simultaneous breakthrough towards Kostyantynivka and Druzhkivka from the south and southeast (from the direction of Toretsk and Vozdvyzhenka), as well as from the northeast (from the direction of Chasiv Yar), followed by an advance towards Kramatorsk from the south while simultaneously advancing towards Slovyansk with the forces of the 20th and 25th Combined Arms Armies of the "Zapad (West)" Operational Grouping through Lyman.
In Sumy Oblast, key enemy objectives that could provide stability to a buffer zone may include the heights between Yunakivka and Khrapivshchyna, the wooded area to the northeast of Sumy from Radkivka to Mohrytsya, and the Psel River. Based on this, the enemy’s operational tasks in this direction may include taking control of the area of Bilovody – Loknia – Yunakivka – Yablunivka, seizing at least the eastern part of the wooded area west of Mohrytsya, and reaching the line of Velyka Rybytsya – Myropillya along the Psel River. The enemy may also attempt to break through from the border toward Vorozhba and Bilopillya and cut off the operational lateral route between Sumy and Novhorod-Siverskyi. The implementation of such a plan would require the enemy command to covertly deploy a strike force in the area of Tiotkino.
The command of the enemy’s “Zapad (West)” Operational Grouping has redeployed no fewer than two battalions of the 27th Separate Motorized Rifle Brigade of the 1st Tank Army from the south to the area of Lyman Pershyi and will seek to take advantage of a series of its tactical successes on the Kupyansk and Lyman directions. A regrouping of elements of the 2nd Motorized Rifle Division and the 4th Tank Division of the 1st Tank Army to the operational zone of the 20th Army on the Lyman direction has been carried out. These forces and assets are likely to appear soon on both enemy bridgeheads. The commitment to battle near Dvorichna of two to three battalions of the 27th Separate Motorized Rifle Brigade, two battalions each of the 1st Motorized Rifle Regiment of the 2nd Motorized Rifle Division and the 423rd Motorized Rifle Regiment of the 4th Tank Division — in the direction of Katerynivka and Nove, in the area of the bridgehead on the Chornyi Zherebets River — should be expected. The manning levels and combat capabilities of the aforementioned battalions will be somewhat reduced.
Possible enemy courses of action on the Lyman direction may also include attempts to use the expansion of the bridgehead on the western bank of the Zherebets River near Ivanivka for the further capture of Lyman. The enemy may try to advance toward Karlivka from Nove and toward Drobysheve from Kolodyazi, attempting to reach and secure the Karlivka – Shandryholove – Drobysheve line while simultaneously intensifying the offensive near Torske and advancing on Lyman from the east.
Ukrainian Defense Forces may launch an offensive in the direction of Lyman Pershyi – Horobivka – Tavilzhanka, which, if successful, will lead to either the enemy's rapid retreat from the Dvorichna bridgehead or its encirclement there. Such a development would result in the loss of combat capability of the entire enemy's 6th Combined Arms Army.
The operational plan of the 8th Combined Arms Army on the Kostyantynivka direction is to envelop the tactical group of the "Khortytsia" OSG, which is defending south of Kostyantynivka between Oleksandropil and Tarasivka from the flanks. The enemy aims to encircle and destroy this group or, if unable to do so, force it to withdraw from the area south of Kostyantynivka in a northwestern direction under the threat of encirclement. The ultimate goal of these actions is a two-pronged breakthrough from the southwest and southeast toward the area of Stepanivka – Berestok – Pleshchiivka – Yablunivka, followed by a simultaneous assault on Kostyantynivka from this area and from the direction of Chasiv Yar. After the reaching the Poltavka–Pleshchiivka line, the enemy’s 3rd Combined Arms Army, reinforced by an airborne forces group, will attempt a rapid breakthrough from the bridgehead on the Siverskyi Donets–Donbas canal in the Chasiv Yar area, advancing from the northeast toward Kostyantynivka.
On the Zaporizhzhia direction, in the near future, the command of the enemy’s 58th Army may expand the section of its offensive actions along the front, counting on the reinforcement by elements of the 42nd Motorized Rifle Division returning from the Kursk group of forces.
