In the Kharkiv direction, northeastern Ukraine, russians focused on maintaining the occupied frontiers from Ukrainian counter-offensives. The occupiers carried out remote mining of the area in the probable areas where Ukrainian Defense Forces could act.

The occupiers were forced to defend in the south, too. Offensive actions of Ukrainian units made them suffer losses and take up defense on unfavorable borders near the village of Kostromka. Russians are trying to reclaim the lost positions by transferring reserves to the area.

In Donbas, eastern Ukraine, russian occupation forces continue the offensive. In the Donetsk direction, they actively use barrel and missile artillery, electronic warfare systems. Operational-tactical and army aviation have increased their activity, too.

Russians carried out assault operations with the support of artillery, in the area of Severodonetsk city. The fighting still continues. In the area of the settlement of Bobrove, russian units suffered losses and retreated to previously occupied positions.
