3. Artemovsk.
Our troops advanced in Pokrovsky. The enemy has been pushed into the northern part of the village. The capture of Pokrovsky will mean that the Klinovoye-Pokrovskoye line has been broken and Artemovsk itself is already moving on, to which 2-3 kilometers are left. Fighting also continued at the Veselaia Dolina, as well as at the Uglegorsk TPP and Semigorye. The enemy from the Artemovsk region continues to shell the territory of the LPR, including the recently liberated Lisichansk agglomeration.

No significant changes. Fighting continued near Sidorovo, Dolina, Bogorodichny and in the forests to the north-west of the city. The objects of the Armed Forces of Ukraine in the Slavyansk-Kramatorsk agglomeration are subjected to daily missile strikes, which in the event of strikes against the dispositions of enemy units leads to large one-time losses in manpower. In the Izyum direction, there are also no changes so far. The enemy is trying to probe the defense of the RF Armed Forces in the Balakleya area.

9. Nikolaev.
The enemy tried to carry out an attack in the area of ​​Potemkino and Vysokopolye with the forces of two battalions, suffered heavy losses in killed and wounded and was forced to withdraw. Nevertheless, it is quite obvious that political circumstances will push the Armed Forces of Ukraine to be active in the Krivoy Rog and Nikopol directions, which we have been observing in recent weeks.
The Armed Forces of the Russian Federation stop this threat with regular strikes in the Krivoy Rog direction. Attacks on Nikolaev are also continuing, which inflict serious losses on the enemy and prevent serious activity from being launched in the direction of Kherson. It is also worth noting the creation in the Kherson region of the "Odessa brigade", which will be used to attack Nikolaev and Odessa.
10. Odessa.
In Istanbul, an agreement was reached on the export of Ukrainian grain. They will be exported through Turkey under the control of passing ships by Turkey, Russia and the UN.
