The units of the Armed Forces of Ukraine continue to move in the direction of Svatove and Kreminna. According to analysts, over the past day, Ukrainian forces have attacked the positions of the invaders 20-30 km from Svatove.

Probably, the Armed Forces of Ukraine also hold the defense in Terny and Yampolivka, 17 km from Kreminna. The invaders, in turn, are trying to hold the line along the Kreminna-Svatove highway. According to preliminary data, the Russians are strengthening their positions and digging trenches.

Donbas

In the Donetsk region, the most active fighting continues in the Bakhmut area. According to ISW, the Russians are being reinforced by "Wagnerites". The occupiers are attacking settlements near Bakhmut, and want to establish control over the intersection of the E40 and T1302 highways.

Ukrainian forces repelled Russian ground attacks west of Avdiivka in the Pershomaiske area, and also west of Donetsk in the Krasnohorivka area.

South

The units of the Armed Forces of Ukraine continue their attacks in the northwestern and western parts of the Kherson region. So far, the command of the Ukrainian army keeps informational silence about the gains in this direction. However, it is known that the defenders liberated 5 settlements: Novovasylivka, Novohryhor'ivka, Nova Kamenka, Trifonivka, and Krasne.

Probably, the Armed Forces of Ukraine continue to advance south of the border with the Dnipropetrovsk region.
