On the Volyn and Polissia fronts, there is no significant change in the situation, and there are no signs of the formation of Russian offensive groups.
On the Sivershchyna front, the invaders fired multiple launch rocket systems at areas in and around the village of Kustyne, Sumy Oblast.
On the Slobozhanshchyna front, Russian forces continue to hold troops in the border areas of Russia’s Belgorod Oblast in order to conduct demonstration actions. Periodically, there are attacks on the positions of our troops as well as on settlements in Kharkiv Oblast near Ukraine’s border with Russia.
On the Kupiansk and Lyman fronts, the aggressor is on the defensive. It is carrying out attacks using tanks, mortars and barrel artillery, in particular in the areas of the settlements of Kyslivka, Krochmalne and Berestove in Kharkiv Oblast and in Makiivka and Bilohorivka in Luhansk Oblast.
On Novopavlivka and Zaporizhzhia fronts, Russian forces are on the defensive. Their artillery fire affected the areas of about 10 settlements.
