| #13 According to Russian military correspondent Aleksandr Sladkov: Yes, Kleshcheevka is ours. Wrong, judging by the data of my additional sources. I admit. One less source that I seriously trusted. Well, to hell with him, with this source. The information is still my responsibility. As soon as I get a chance, I'll go myself and see how things are going. |

| #7 About one month into the counteroffensive Ukraine has made some solid advances, but, hasn't really breached the first Russian defense perimeter. If and when they do we'll see what Ukraine can do with the new equipment they have. |

| #6 Russians put items similar to explosive charges on two of six ZNPP units Operational information says that unknown devices similar to explosive charges have been placed on the outer roof of the third and fourth power units (AFAIK, generator buildings) of the ZNPP today. According to the military, their detonation should not damage the power units, but it may create an image of a shelling by Ukrainian forces. Russian media and Telegram channels report such actions of their military, too. |

| #5 ISW: Spokesperson Valery Shershen stated that Ukrainian forces advanced up to two kilometers in the western Donetsk-Zaporizhia Oblast border area, and a Russian milblogger claimed that Ukrainian forces reached Pryyutne, 15 kilometers southwest of Velyka Novosilka. Also one or two days ago, fighting was reported in the northern part of Robotyne town. |
