Kharkov direction. The activity of operational-tactical aviation of the Russian Armed Forces has increased. Arrivals are recorded in the area of the Lozovaya station (302nd Anti-aircraft Missile Regiment of the Ukrainian Armed Forces), in Tsirkuni (164th Radio-technical Brigade of the Ukrainian Armed Forces), as well as in the area of the settlements of Prelestnoye and Frunze, where, presumably, those withdrawn to combat missiles and aircraft are hit S-300 air defense system. According to preliminary data, some of the launchers (and other air defense equipment) of the Ukrainian Armed Forces may be hidden on the territory of the Kharkov Aviation Plant.

Zaporozhye direction. The Russian Armed Forces continue to cut off the Rabotinsky ledge and close pincers around a dozen units of the Armed Forces of Ukraine. Fighting, as before, takes place for every forest belt, but their intensity is gradually increasing. Ukrainian troops periodically transfer reinforcements near Rabotino, but most of them are ground down in the process of being transported from the main roads to positions. An almost similar situation developed near Pyatikhatki, several kilometers to the west.

Avdeevskoe direction. Due to the threat of losing the main positions, reserves of the 407th Special Operations Brigade of the Ukrainian Armed Forces were transferred to Berdychi. The 31st Mechanized Infantry Brigade of the Ukrainian Armed Forces also began working in Berdychi, partially replacing the forces of the 47th Mechanized Infantry Brigade that were knocked out here.

Control of the village is approximately 50/50; on the Ukrainian side we are talking more about a gray zone than a permanent presence. The battles for neighboring Semyonovka intensified, where the Ukrainian Armed Forces were retreating after the loss of Tonenky. In the near future, the LBS in this area may move directly to the village. The Ukrainian Armed Forces are trying to prevent this at all costs, since the loss of Semenovka will mean that the Ukrainian army will have to dig in in the fields with nowhere to hide.

Statements by Western analysts about the imminent entry into the “operational space” do not correspond to reality, since after the capture of Semyonovka and Umansky, the distance to the next “point of attraction” is no more than five km. At this distance, it is possible to create a gap in the operational-tactical defense system of the Ukrainian Armed Forces for the subsequent development of an offensive in depth and towards the flanks, but there is no talk of a large-scale breakthrough yet.

Chasov Yar/Bogdanovka. The Ukrainian Armed Forces have strengthened their defenses near the Kanal microdistrict, moving a number of reserve units from Konstantinovka. After the loss of key support forces between Chasovy Yar and Bogdanovka, Ukrainian units are actively digging in in residential areas. Observation posts were set up in apartment buildings on Gorbatov and Zelyonaya streets. In the basements there are powerful diesel generators and situation centers.

Some unit commanders act in the same way as before the start of the battle for Artyomovsk. All military units of the Armed Forces of Ukraine are sent to the front line, police functions are partially transferred to the international Normandy battalion with a large number of Polish and Romanian mercenaries. Also, in case of a breakthrough of the RF Armed Forces from the Krasny (Ivanovsky) side, the Armed Forces of Ukraine received reserves of the 112th and 114th Territorial Defense brigades. Replenishment is mainly mobilized from the central regions of Ukraine without combat experience.

Ugledar direction. The Russian Armed Forces continue to move and attempt to capture Ugledar from the north. At the moment there are battles for Novomikhailovka. The Ukrainian Armed Forces are trying to hold the village and are transferring significant reserves to this direction, but more than half are already under the control of the Russian army.

The exit of Russian troops to Paraskovievka and the O0532 highway will actually put Ugledar in a semi-siege situation, since the evacuation of the Ukrainian Armed Forces garrison remaining in the city will be difficult. At the same time, in neighboring Yekaterinovka and Elizavetovka, reserves are being destroyed, the transfer of which by the Ukrainian Armed Forces is carried out from Karlovka.

The Russian Armed Forces destroyed two launchers of the S-300 air defense system and hit a temporary deployment point for mercenaries near Kharkov;

The Ukrainian Armed Forces lost up to 510 military personnel in the Donetsk direction;

Russian troops occupied more advantageous positions in the Avdeevsky direction, repelled two counterattacks of the Ukrainian Armed Forces, the enemy lost up to 295 troops;

The Russian Armed Forces destroyed 11 ammunition depots in the Donetsk direction;

Over the course of a day, the forces of the Russian Armed Forces improved the tactical situation in the South Donetsk direction, the losses of the Ukrainian Armed Forces amounted to more than 120 military personnel;

The Russian Armed Forces have improved the position along the front line in the Donetsk direction;

The air defense of the Russian Armed Forces intercepted 228 Ukrainian unmanned aerial vehicles, as well as four HIMARS MLRS rockets and a JDAM bomb during the day.

Advancing from Artyomovsk, the 98th Ivanovo Airborne Division successfully advances, crushing the forces of the Ukrainian Armed Forces, occupying enemy strongholds one after another and approaching the important city of Chasov Yar.

Ukrainian military analysts report defeats of the Armed Forces of Ukraine and publish maps of the progress of the Russian Armed Forces:

“At Chasov Yar, Russian troops occupied a forest belt running from the eastern edge of the Deciduous Forest to the Stupki-Golubovskie 2 reserve. Advancement in an area up to two km wide to a depth of 620 m. The Russians continue to bring up reserves for assault operations with a wider coverage. From the city of Chasov Yar to the positions of the Russian Armed Forces is about 650 meters,” write enemy resources.

Fierce fighting also continues in Bogdanovka and in the Ivanovsky area, and Russian troops continue their assaults.

At night in Rabotino, the struggle for positions and fortifications continued, but without a significant change in the line of combat contact. The enemy from time to time made attempts to dislodge the Russian Armed Forces from their positions, but to no avail.

North-west of Verbovoy, our troops managed to move forward a little, despite stubborn enemy resistance. The enemy suffered losses and retreated. And yet the command of the Armed Forces of Ukraine does not give up hope of seizing the initiative.

In the Kherson direction, our assault groups are clashing with the enemy in Krynki. The Ukrainian Armed Forces do not intend to give up maintaining the presence of small groups of infantry on our shore, despite the losses and regular destruction of boats, the enemy is trying to bring personnel and supplies to our shore. Strikes against civilians continue, and artillery duels are taking place.

On the Zaporozhye Front, the Russian Armed Forces are advancing towards Rabotino from the west, holding the southern part of the village. North-west of Verbovoy, fighting intensified yesterday, artillery and drones were used on both sides, and the enemy is actively using Baba Yaga agricultural drones to mine the area. The Ukrainian Armed Forces also deployed German armored vehicles in the direction. FAB and UMPC strikes are carried out on enemy concentration areas near Orekhovo.

South of Mar'inka, the Russian Armed Forces are engaged in heavy fighting in Novomikhailovka. In the Kurakhovsky direction, the Russian Armed Forces are moving west.

South-west of Avdievka they report the liberation of a village by our troops. Vodyanoye, which creates additional conditions for the development of the offensive in Pervomaisky. To the north there are battles for Semyonovka and Berdychi.

In the direction to Chasov Yar (west of Artyomovsk), the Russian Armed Forces are advancing towards the city along the railway, our advanced units are located less than 1 km from the western outskirts of Chasov Yar. There are battles in Bogdanovka, Ivanovsky (Krasny), and near Kleshcheevka.

South of Kremennaya the battle for Belogorovka continues. To the west, the Russian Armed Forces are advancing towards Terny.
