Commentary by Russian military journalist Boris Rozhin
[ColonelCassad] 1. During the day, the enemy made active attempts to conduct reconnaissance in force on a number of sectors of the Zaporozhye and South-Donetsk directions, using a large number of armored vehicles. The main attacks were carried out in the area of ​​Gulyaipol, the Vremievsky ledge, in the area of ​​​​Ugledar and in the area of ​​Avdievka.
2. Initially, the enemy managed to achieve small tactical successes in the area of ​​​​the Vremevsky ledge, including the occupation of two small villages on the border of the gray zone, but after suffering losses (more than 20 tanks and armored combat vehicles), the enemy was forced to withdraw, even despite the introduction of his reserves into battle. In most other sectors, the enemy had no success. The ratio of losses per day turned out to be strongly not in favor of the Armed Forces of Ukraine.
3. Nevertheless, there is a concentration and regrouping of enemy forces in order to continue the offensive activity of the Armed Forces of Ukraine in the area of ​​the Vremievsky ledge, Vogledar and Vodyany. Probably tomorrow will be attempt number two. It is possible that this activity is designed to distract our command from the Kamenskoye-Orekhov-Gulyaipole sector, where a blow could probably be struck in order to reach Tokmak and the subsequent movement to Melitopol, coupled with auxiliary landings across the Dnieper.
4. Under Artyomovsk as a whole, no changes. There is local enemy activity in the private sector to the southwest of the city, as well as to the northwest.
The RF Armed Forces cover the concentration of enemy forces in Slavyansk, Kramatorsk, Konstantinovka and Chasov Yar. Tomorrow the rotation of our grouping in Artemovsk will be completed.
5. In the Belgorod direction, the enemy today continued to actively shell the border areas, and also continued to attempt to break through the DRG into our territory. These actions are aimed primarily at solving information problems, as well as diverting attention from the main sectors of the front. Among the hopes of the enemy command is to provoke the RF Armed Forces to transfer additional forces here from the main directions. To do this, they try to inflate the panic as much as possible.
Nevertheless, the situation requires the command to take more decisive measures to transfer hostilities to the northern regions of the Kharkos and Sumy regions in order to make it difficult for the enemy to implement his tactics.
