Frontline situation
The Ukrainian Armed Forces have reached the trenches to the west of Verbove village in the Zaporizhzhia region, and it is likely that they made a breakthrough with armored vehicles along the Robotyne-Verbove line.
Pavlo Kovalchuk, a spokesperson for the General Staff, reported that the Ukrainian military successfully repelled a Russian attack in the Rivnopole area of the Donetsk region. The occupiers did not advance in the Kupiansk-Lyman direction.
