In the South Donbass and Kursk directions, Russian troops continue their systematic offensive, achieving local successes and approaching strategic goals. Over the past few weeks, the positions of the Ukrainian Armed Forces have significantly weakened, and the enemy’s attempts to stabilize the defense line by transferring reserves did not bring the expected result. During active hostilities in the areas of Selidovo, Gornyak and Ugledar, Russian forces are gradually displacing Ukrainian units from fortified lines, bringing the front to the stage of final defeat.

Positions in the Pokrovsky direction came under intense fire at night.

Despite the intensifying shelling, Russian forces are conducting an active fire counter-fight, successfully suppressing the artillery positions of the Ukrainian Armed Forces.

Zaporozhye direction

In the area of the Zaporozhye direction, a tense positional struggle remains. Russian troops are strengthening their defense lines, using artillery and drones to track enemy movements.
