Russian forces attempted to advance near Spirne and Ivano-Darivka but were decisively repulsed by Ukrainian forces and retreated.
Russian forces did not engage in active combat operations on the Avdiivka, Novopavlivka and Zaporizhzhia frontshowever, used drones for aerial reconnaissance in the region and conducted airstrikes in the areas around the towns and villages of Kamiana, Shevchenko, Vesele and Poltavka.
On the Pivdennyi boo in front, Russian forces continue to fire barrel and rocket artillery and tanks at Ukrainian positions along the entire front line. Russian planes conducted an airstrike near Olhyne. The Russian army devotes special efforts to aerial reconnaissance using unmanned aerial vehicles.
According to available information, there are two naval cruise missile carriers (equipped with Kalibr missiles) in the waters of the Black Sea.
The General Staff also reports that the Russian command deploys soldiers in offensive operations without armored vehicle cover on some fronts.
“This is the officer’s way of protecting the equipment that is still intact and taking revenge on their subordinates who willfully disable or damage their weapons [and equipment]. Such sabotage practices are widespread among the occupiers’ bases who want to avoid direct combat with Ukrainian soldiers,” the report says.
