Quote: Six combat clashes are underway on this front.  Russian forces continue to exert pressure on Ukrainian positions near Novooleksandrivka. In the afternoon, the Russians considerably increased the combat activity of their aircraft, launching five air raids on the settlements of Vovche, Oleksandropil, Vozdvyzhenka, Yevhenivka and Zhelanne.

At this point, the total number of confrontations along the front line had climbed to 87.

Details: On the Kharkiv front, the Russian forces made another effort to breach Ukrainian lines; a combat clash is still ongoing near the settlement of Hlyboke. On Tuesday, four attacks were repulsed in the areas of Vovchansk and Hlyboke.

The Russians attempted to assault the Ukrainian position on Kupiansk front eight times. Five of those attacks failed, while three more are still underway near the towns of Pishchane, Berestove and Synkivka. The situation is under control of Ukrainian forces. The Ukrainian army is vigorously fending off the enemy; as of today, 134 Russians have been wounded or killed in this area. Four artillery systems and four armoured vehicles were damaged. 

On the Vremivka front, Russian forces are not giving up on reducing Ukraine’s defence capability and terrorising the civilian population; on Tuesday, they launched four air strikes, targeting the vicinity of Staromaiorske, Kostiantynivka, Blahodatne and Urozhaine.

Since the start of the day, the Russians have been steadfastly attempting to oust Ukrainian units from their positions on the Orikhiv front. Six combat clashes were recorded so far. The occupiers faced stiff opposition at Mala Tokmachka, Shcherbaky, Novoprokopivka and Verbove.

In other parts, the situation has remained stable.
