The occupiers continue to suffer significant losses in battles with the Defence Forces of Ukraine.
On the Donetsk front, the Russian forces’ main efforts are focused on maintaining the occupied borders and regrouping troops.
The Russian army has not taken active action on the Kramatorsk front. They carried out shelling in the areas of the settlements of Maiaky, Pyskunivka and Siversk. In order to identify the positions of Ukrainian troops and adjust the fire, they conducted aerial reconnaissance, using the Orlan-10 UAV.

Ukrainian troops successfully repulsed all offensive and assault actions of the Russian occupying forces on the areas of the settlements of Pokrovske, Niu-York and Marinka. The occupiers withdrew."
Details: In order to bind Ukrainian troops, the Russian troops carried out demonstrative actions in the area of the settlement of Vershyna. Near Pavlivka, the Russians carried out airstrikes from Ka-52 and Mi-24 helicopters.
After the withdrawal of Ukrainian units, the occupiers consolidated their positions in the districts of Sievierodonetsk, Syrotyne, Voronove and Borivske.
On the Sloviansk front, the Ukrainian defenders stopped the Russian assault in the area of Mazanivka and the offensive near Bohorodychne. After suffering losses, the occupying forces retreated.
