Occupiers' attempts
As Kovalov noted, the occupiers' attempts at offensive actions in the areas of Maryinka, Staromykhailivka in the Donetsk region, and Verbove in the Zaporizhzhia region were unsuccessful.
"The enemy has suffered significant losses in personnel, weapons, and equipment. They are moving units and troops and actively using reserves," the spokesperson said.
The Ukrainian Armed Forces are also continuing to restrain the advance of Russian forces on the Lyman and Bakhmut fronts. Invaders attempted to storm near the settlements of Novoehorivka and Bilohorivka in the Luhansk region, as well as in the areas of Klishchiivka and Kurdiumivka in the Donetsk region.
Heavy fighting is ongoing in these directions. There have been 40 clashes in the past day.
