Sources on both sides now confirming Ukraine controls Kupiansk on the Eastern side of the Oskil river, with video evidence. Since the bridge was blown, now sure if Ukraine can move heavy equipment over, but this could be the first stepping stone towards the logistics hub of Svatove. There are unconfirmed reports that Ukraine has crossed in other portions as well.
Just a little south, Ukraine continues to advance on Lyman and Yampil, securing small towns just outside, but they haven't taken those cities yet. Just north Ukraine confirmed taking the towns of Studenok and Sosnove, which could give Ukraine the opportunity to put pressure on Lyman from the North West, but there is a small river/creek to cross.
I agree with Trumpcard, it does seem the Oskil offensive culminated earlier this week, but it is good to see Ukraine still with the initiative in most areas except the south. It's possible that once Urkaine secures passage across the Oskil, that they will build momentum again, but time will tell.
