Quote from Haidai: "Russian occupation forces made attempts to break through to Bilohorivka, but they failed. All the offensives were repulsed.

As for the slightly different axis of Svatove-Kreminna, the Armed Forces of Ukraine are advancing along it."

Details: Haidai has explained that progress is slow, but "it is as expected."

"[Ukrainian army is advancing slowly - ed.] because the surprise factor is no longer there. The invaders had time to tighten up the reserves and destroy bridges, and to mine the land very extensively. They are now intensively attacking all the settlements from which they had to retreat. And the weather, unfortunately, is not helping at all, it has been raining heavily a few days in a row and the equipment is simply getting stuck in the mud. Sometimes progress is made only thanks to infantry," Haidai explained.

At the same time, he stressed that "we can observe that no trench warfare is taking place, and it is the Armed Forces of Ukraine that are advancing."
