Of the two forest belts where the enemy was able to gain a foothold on the first day, at the moment one is completely cleared. According to the marines of the 40th Brigade, the infantry of the Armed Forces of Ukraine suffered very heavy losses from our artillery during the night.

The words of one of the fighters: “it’s easy to adjust the artillery along the front line, everything flies exactly to the places where they tried to gain a foothold; now they are retreating with huge losses; we wonder why they bury themselves in these forest belts and fields; humanly, they are simply pitiful.” Several timid attempts by the Armed Forces of Ukraine to cross the Shaitanka were also thwarted by company heavy weapons.
