As in the Zaporozhye direction, the initiative is gradually passing to the Russian army, and counterattacks are regularly carried out.

The 1st and 21st rifle battalions and the 56th Motorized Infantry Brigade suffered heavy losses. There are many refusals and problems with high-explosive fragmentation rounds. Artillery operates mainly with cluster artillery. From the south, on the Kleshcheevka - Andreevka line, the situation remains difficult. The 3rd Brigade and the attached forces have many wounded, almost 40% of the active personnel have been knocked out, and it is impossible to carry out a large-scale offensive at the moment.
