The enemy continues to prepare for the start of an offensive on this sector of the front.

The organization of deliveries of fuels and lubricants and ammunition to the strongholds of the 65th Separate Mechanized Brigade and 117th Separate Mechanized Brigade is noted.

Also, in order to maintain the required level of combat readiness, a rotation of personnel was organized, the issuance of personal equipment and personal protective equipment for the skin and respiratory organs among the units of the 108th Brigade in the area of the settlement of Belogorye.

Also, training firing was carried out with the participation of units of the 2nd detachment of the Special Forces 71 Oebr.

Also, the readiness to perform tasks among the units of the 128th Brigade is being checked, the check is caused by the lack of tactical successes after repeated failed offensive operations in the area of the settlement of Pyatikhatki, and the forward positions of the 65th Brigade are also being inspected.

Also, in preparation for a large-scale offensive, the enemy is planning to deliver a series of strikes against the facilities of the RF Armed Forces in the Vasilyevsky and Berdyansk districts of the Zaporozhye region, using information from satellite intelligence of Western countries, as well as messages from the intelligence network on the ground.

In addition, the emergency services on the territory of the Zaporizhia region, temporarily controlled by the enemy, are put on high alert, service employees are given false information about the impending undermining of the ZNPP of the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation, thus, the command of the Armed Forces of Ukraine is trying to carry out covert preparations for a provocation in the ZNPP area, and minimizing damage to controlled territories.

The enemy command continues to prepare for offensive operations, without stopping attempts to break through the defenses of our troops in separate sectors.

In order to increase the offensive potential, the concentration of forces and means from the composition of 2 deb 68 obr was organized on the front line of the LBS, and the rotation of personnel of 3 deb 68 oeb was carried out.

Due to the incessant strikes of the RF Armed Forces on the enemy’s transport communications in this area, the latter had difficulties in organizing the supply of units, for example, the personnel of the 68th Brigade repeatedly reported a shortage of drinking water and food at the advanced strongholds.

Also, the command of the 31st Brigade was forced to withdraw personnel from a number of advanced positions, due to constant strikes by the RF Armed Forces, the officers of the brigade indicated in their reports that the personnel of individual units refused to participate in hostilities.

Fierce fighting continues southwest of Berkhovka and north, northwest and west of Kleshcheevka. The Ukrainian Armed Forces are attacking, trying to advance and improve their tactical position south of the 8th headquarters in the direction of Artemovsk.

The Ukrainians were conducting offensive operations in the northern part of the forest plantation near the Kleshcheevsky stronghold of the RF Armed Forces.

At the same time, “the Russian army advanced with battles, having improved its tactical positions along the Seversky Donets-Donbass canal north of the Maiorsk checkpoint in the Gorlovka direction,” enemy military analysts admit.

In the Soledarsky direction near Vasyukovka-Razdolovka-Sakko and Vanzetti, positional battles are going on, the Armed Forces of Ukraine have temporarily stopped sending infantry to the “meat assaults”.

However, recently the 117th and 118th Mechanized brigades of the 10th Army Corps of the Armed Forces of Ukraine were moved to the Kamensky sector, which were partially located in Stepnogorsk and Kamensky. And today a column of tanks and infantry fighting vehicles moved south from Stepnogorsk.

But it didn’t end there, the Ukrainian militants began to flee from a number of other positions, throwing weapons and ammunition, they rushed back in the direction of Orekhov, from where they have been advancing for a whole month.

On Kopany today they attacked with the support of armored vehicles near the infantry platoon of the Armed Forces of Ukraine. They were noticed in time and thrown back by mortars and ACS.

A similar situation has developed today in the Pyatikhatki area, where about 30-40 enemy infantry tried to literally run into the attack, but were also stopped by our fighters.

The units of the "Southern" group of forces successfully repelled the attack of enemy assault groups in the Lisichansk direction. Artillery strikes were carried out on accumulations of manpower and equipment in the areas of the settlements of Belogorovka and Vesele.

On the Zaporozhye Front, the infantry of the Armed Forces of Ukraine, supported by artillery, continues to conduct assault operations in the direction of the settlement. Rabotino.

Periodically, the enemy manages to break into our defensive formations, but as a result of counterattacks, he again rolls back to the original one. Two enemy DRGs in the area of the settlement were subjected to fire damage. Pyatikhatki. A blow was also dealt to enemy armored vehicles and a congestion of personnel in the area of the settlement. Stepovoye.

In the Vremevsky direction, the enemy concentrated his efforts on storming our positions in the settlement. Shelter. Attempts to roll over in the area of N. p.
