-- In the Zaporozhye direction, the Russian army advanced west of Verbovoy, and also returned most of the abandoned positions east of Novoprokopovka. Our progress is largely due to the fact that Ukrainian reserves left Zaporozhye for other directions

-- In the Donetsk direction, despite the use of TOS, aviation and artillery, the enemy stubbornly holds Novomikhailovka, regardless of the losses among personnel.

-- In the Avdievka direction, the Russian army continues to advance east of Avdievka in the area of treatment facilities and at the coke plant. Our artillerymen are sending a large number of rounds at the Ukrainian positions at the enterprise. Also the night before, Russian intelligence officers destroyed a special group of NATO mercenaries near Avdievka.

-- In the Artemovsk direction, good news came from the Bogdanovka area. Here our guys occupied several positions of the Ukrainian Armed Forces on the western outskirts of the village.
