The situation at the front remains difficult. The Russians, taking advantage of air superiority, missiles and artillery ammunition, are trying to reach the administrative border of the Donetsk region, said the Commander-in-Chief of the Armed Forces Oleksandr Syrskyi.

The occupiers conduct offensive actions around the clock, using assault groups with armored vehicles. In separate directions, they are trying to conduct assaults on foot, in waves, from a platoon to a company, sometimes a battalion.

"A particularly difficult situation has developed in the Bakhmutskyi direction in the areas east of Chasovoy Yar and Klishchiivka; in Avdiivskyi - in the Berdychiv, Orlivka, Vodyanyi, Pervomaiskyi districts; in Novopavlivskyi - in the Novomykhailivka district. The fiercest battles are still ongoing in the Pervomaiskyi and Vodyanyi districts, as well as east of Chasiv Yar, where the enemy is trying to break through the defense of our troops. Chasiv Yar remains under our control, all the enemy's attempts to break through to the settlement have failed," the commander said.

According to Syrskyi, the situation is also tense in the Lymanskyi, Orihivskyi and Khersonsky directions.

In the Lyman direction, the enemy is conducting local offensive actions in the areas of Bilogorivka and Vesely. On Orihivskyi - in the districts of Robotyne and Verbovoi, with the aim of restoring the lost position. On Khersonsky - trying to dislodge our troops from the bridgehead on the left bank of the Dnipro River in the Krynka area.

"But there is no success in these directions," said Syrskyi.
