Today, the enemy is attacking near the settlements of New York, Nelipivka, Toretsk and Zalizne. Our defenders are giving a worthy rebuff to the enemy, 13 combats have already been completed, the battle continues. The aggressor’s aviation struck the settlement of Druzhba with unguided air missiles, and eleven anti-aircraft missiles struck Toretsk and Nelipivka,
If we consider the battle for the Donetsk region as a whole, the capture of Pokrovsk and the advance toward it is one of the key points in this battle,
The trends of the past few weeks suggest quite clearly that the Russian army will likely come very close to Myrnohrad and probably to Pokrovsk as well,
We must remember that in the past, each captured city was perceived as playing a ‘key role.’ However, we see that after the withdrawal from Avdiivka, for example, the front did not collapse,
While it is more than likely that [the Russian army] will come close to Pokrovsk, the fact that they will take control and capture the city isn’t at all certain, especially if the Ukrainians take appropriate measures,
In the Kursk region, the tense situation continues along the entire front line. The enemy attacks with columns of armoured vehicles in various areas, coming under fire from armoured vehicles of the Russian Armed Forces and aviation,
Reconnaissance and search operations continue to identify and destroy enemy sabotage groups in clumps of forest that were trying to penetrate deep into Russian territory,
As a result of intense action by units of the ‘Centre Grouping’ of troops, a large grouping of enemy troops was crushed and one of the largest settlements in the Toretsk agglomeration and the strategically important logistics hub of Novgorodskoye ... was liberated,
When our cities are within range of virtually any enemy weapon, the decision to evacuate is necessary and inevitable,
Russian milbloggers reported that Russian forces are advancing toward Komyshivka and Ptychne (southeast of Pokrovsk and just southeast of the Novozhelanne-Komyshivka area) and that Ukrainian forces are withdrawing from these settlements to avoid tactical encirclement,
The Ukrainian defence forces are holding back the Russian offensive and have repelled 24 attacks, with 5 engagements still ongoing. The enemy losses on this front are being confirmed. The enemy also launched three airstrikes with rockets on Oleksandropil,
Seven combat engagements are over and two more are ongoing,
Three more combat engagements are currently underway,
