The Russian troops are back. The Ukrainian army again attacked with mechanized units. The Russian troops withdrew, and as soon as the units of the Armed Forces of Ukraine entered the settlements, they were fired upon again, and this was repeated several times. The losses of the Armed Forces of Ukraine are about 350 personnel and about 40 pieces of equipment.

19:25 While all attention is focused on the Zaporozhye sector of the front, it is also hot in other places:

- near Bakhmut, attacks on Kleshcheevka continue, they are trying to squeeze our special forces out of their positions;

- the equipment being transferred through Stary Saltov and Volchansk is in Kupyansk: most likely, we are waiting for the activation of the northern sector of the front;

- there is a movement of columns from the side of Nikolaev to the east - and there is a certain probability of activation of troops in the south after the partial destruction of the Kakhovskaya hydroelectric power station;

- Suspicious silence from Gorlovka to Donetsk - and this despite the transfer of significant enemy reserves.

Summing up: after pulling up the reserves, the enemy resumed attempts to eliminate the “Vremievsky ledge” with renewed vigor, while, without further advance to the south, long-term retention of these positions is unprofitable for the enemy, therefore, as in recent days, control over some settlements on the line of contact will pass from one side to the other more than once.

“We are holding brother, again they perlied all night like cockroaches, we beat them off, there is still a loss in technology for them and people.”

Along Lobkovy on the one hand and Neskuchny on the other side of the LBS in Zaporozhye - well, it was a great victory to enter the villages located in the lowlands surrounded by the heights we control. Reminiscent of the battles for Belogorovka or Grigorovka in the Seversky direction - whoever goes there will be destroyed from the air.

Also, enemy attacks in small groups were noted on the left flank at the Novodarovka-Rovnopol line. Judging by the almost synchronous attack on Urozhaynoye and from Bolshaya Novoselka, the Armed Forces of Ukraine are trying to penetrate the rear of the Russian group on the Vremievsky ledge.
