The Russian occupation army is conducting intense assaults on several frontlines. The number of enemy attacks and attempts to break through the defense of the Armed Forces of Ukraine can reach 59 times a day.

In the Kharkiv direction, the Russians conducted four unsuccessful offensive and assault operations near Vovchansk.
In the Kupiansk direction, the number of combat engagements reached 12 in a single day. Defense forces repelled attacks by the occupiers in the areas of Holubivka, Kolysnykivka, Lozova, Pishchane, Vyshneve, and Novoosynove.
In the Lyman direction, our forces halted 20 enemy attacks. The main efforts of the invaders were concentrated in the areas of Hrekivka, Novomykhailivka, Yampilivka, Novosadove, Terniv, Zarichne, and the Serebrianske forestry.
Additionally, the Defense Forces repelled one attack near Ivanodarivka in the Siverskyi direction.
In the Kramatorsk direction, the invaders attempted to advance twice near Stupochky, but Ukrainian soldiers stopped the enemy. The situation is currently under control.

One of the hottest areas is Pokrovsk, where Ukrainian defenders repelled 46 attacks. The Russians attempted to advance near the settlements of Mykhailivka, Vozdvyzhenka, Myroliubivka, Novotroitske, and Sukhyi Yar. The enemy concentrated its main efforts in the areas of Selidove and Promin, where there were 22 and 9 combat engagements, respectively.
The Defense Forces continue to hold the enemy back in the Kurakhiv direction. In the areas of the settlements of Hirnyk, Novodmytrivka, Kurakhivka, Kostiantynivka, Maksymilianivka, Antonivka, Kurakhove, and Vodiane, the occupiers attempted to breach Ukrainian defensive lines 59 times.

In the Prydniprovsk direction, our troops repelled attacks by Russian invaders six times.
At the same time, the Armed Forces of Ukraine continue operations in the Kursk direction, where the enemy carried out 41 airstrikes over the past day, using 72 guided aerial bombs.
We would like to remind you that recently the Commander-in-Chief of the Armed Forces of Ukraine Oleksandr Syrskyi visited Ukrainian soldiers in the Kursk and Sumy regions. According to him, despite the superiority of the Russians in terms of manpower and equipment, the soldiers of the Ukrainian Armed Forces will not allow the aggressor to achieve its goal.
We also wrote that Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy believes that Ukraine can hold its ground at the front and shift the war to Russia. This requires more Western weapons.
