Situation on the frontlines
In the Kharkiv direction, the occupants continue to conduct assault operations. Ukrainian troops successfully repelled six enemy attacks, four are still ongoing.
In the Kupiansk sector, the Russians continue to put pressure on the defensive lines of the Ukrainian Armed Forces. They are unsuccessfully trying to improve their tactical position in the areas of Myasozharivka and Novoyehorivka. In total, they increased the number of assault operations in this area to 14. Half of them were successfully repelled by the Defense Forces, and seven are still ongoing.
In the Lyman direction, the enemy conducted five attacks over the last day, one of which is still ongoing.
In the Siversk direction, the occupants continue to attempt to storm the positions of Ukrainian defenders near Bilohorivka and Verkhnekamianske. The number of combat engagements has increased to nine since the beginning of the day. Four attacks were successfully repelled by our troops, five are still ongoing.
In the Kramatorsk direction, Russian troops continue to conduct assault operations near Klishchiivka, Novyi, Ivanivske and Andriivka. Since the beginning of the day, 11 combat engagements have already taken place here, one of which is still ongoing.
The Pokrovsk direction remains the hottest spot along the entire front line, the General Staff notes. The number of enemy attacks here has increased to 23 so far.
The occupants are trying to push through the Ukrainian defense with the support of attack aircraft. Ukrainian soldiers are holding their lines and inflicting significant losses on the enemy. The Ukrainian Armed Forces successfully destroyed a Su-25 in this area today.
The number of combat engagements in the Kurakhove direction increased to 14. Eight enemy attacks were repelled, four are still ongoing.
In the Orikhivsk direction, the enemy tried three times to conduct assault operations near Robotyne and Novoandriivka. They were unsuccessful.
In the Prydniprovskyi direction, on the bridgeheads on the left bank of the Dnipro, the occupiers increased the number of attacks to nine, but as before, all these attempts to push the Ukrainian Armed Forces units in the Krynky area were in vain.
The situation has not changed significantly in other areas, the General Staff added.
Earlier, the General Staff stated that the Armed Forces of Ukraine are keeping Russian troops under strict fire control and depleting their potential.
