Frontline situation

The operational situation remains largely unchanged in the Volyn and Polissia directions.

In the Avdiivka direction, the enemy does not cease attempts to encircle Avdiivka. They employ aviation support for their forces. Our soldiers steadfastly hold the defense and inflict significant losses on the enemy.
