In the past 24 hours, the battlefield has witnessed significant activity as Ukrainian forces continue to repel the persistent advances of the Russian aggressors. Across various fronts, the intensity of combat remains high, with the enemy focusing their efforts primarily on the Kuraikhivskyi and Pokrovskyi directions.
Starting with the Kharkiv direction, the enemy launched a series of attacks aimed at breaking through the defensive lines. Four notable engagements were recorded here as Ukrainian forces effectively repelled attempts by the Russians near Vovchansk, Hatishche, Hlyboke, and Lyptsi. These repeated assaults indicate the enemy's determination to gain ground in this region, but Ukrainian troops have remained resolute, holding their positions firmly.
The situation was particularly heated on the Kupiansk direction, where 11 encounters were reported. Russian forces concentrated their efforts near Synkivka, Hlushkivka, Lozova, Petropavlivka, Novoosinove, and Stelmakhivka. Despite the intensity and frequency of these attacks, Ukrainian defense managed to thwart the enemy's advances, ensuring that these critical areas remained under Ukrainian control. By day's end, the enemy had attempted 17 assaults in this direction alone, highlighting their continued emphasis on this front. Although the situation remains tense, Ukrainian defenders have successfully repelled 14 of these incursions, with ongoing clashes indicating the evolving nature of the battle.
On the Lyman direction, the scale of conflict was even more pronounced. In the span of 24 hours, Ukrainian forces faced 24 enemy attacks. The Russians, seeking to capitalize on any potential weaknesses, targeted regions near Kopanky, Hrekivka, Tverdokhlibove, Makiivka, Nevske, Yampilivka, Torske, Serebrianka, and Bilohorivka. However, despite the sheer volume of their assaults, the resolve and strategic positioning of the Ukrainian troops have prevented any significant enemy breakthroughs. Five engagements in this sector are still ongoing, indicating that the enemy remains undeterred despite their setbacks.
The Siversk direction saw three main clashes as Russian invaders attempted to breach the lines near Verkhn’okam’yanske, Spirne, and Vyimka. Here, the Ukrainian defense has demonstrated remarkable resilience, successfully thwarting these assaults and maintaining control over these strategic areas.
Further south on the Kramatorsk direction, four battles took place in the areas around Chasiv Yar and Andriivka. Although the Russian forces are consistently probing this front, the Ukrainian defense has managed to halt their progress, inflicting losses and maintaining the integrity of their defensive lines.
A more intense focus was observed on the Toretsk direction, where enemy forces, bolstered by air support, launched six attacks near Dachne, Toretsk, and Nelipivka. Ukrainian defenders responded with determination, with ongoing combat in six different locations reflecting the fierce resistance being offered against the aggressor.

They aimed to push through Ukrainian defenses around settlements such as Zelene Pole, Vozdvizhenka, Novooleksandrivka, Myroliubivka, Novotroitske, Selidove, Mikhailivka, Novohrodivka, and Hrodivka. The Ukrainian forces displayed steadfast resistance, repelling these assaults and demonstrating their capacity to hold critical terrain against repeated enemy attempts.
Most notably, the Kuraikhivskyi direction witnessed the heaviest concentration of attacks. Ukrainian forces faced 43 enemy attempts to break through in the vicinity of areas including Ukrainsk, Zhelan'ne Pershe, Heorhiivka, Kostyantynivka, and Katerynivka. Despite the scale and intensity of these engagements, Ukrainian troops have successfully managed to maintain control, preventing any significant enemy advancements. The ongoing battle near Katerynivka serves as a testament to the ferocity of the conflict in this sector.
In addition to these ground engagements, the Vremivskyi direction experienced 10 attacks, with enemy forces striving to make gains near Katerynivka, Vuhledar, and Zolota Nyva. Ukrainian defenders, maintaining their resolve, managed to repel the majority of these assaults, with only one engagement near Vuhledar continuing at the time of reporting.
On the Prydniprovs’kyi direction, the enemy carried out five attempts to break through the Ukrainian defensive lines. Each of these was met with strong resistance, resulting in failures for the Russian forces. The inability of the enemy to secure victories in this region further underscores the effectiveness and preparedness of the Ukrainian defense.
The use of air and missile strikes by the enemy also marked the intensity of the day's conflicts. Ukrainian air forces and artillery targeted and struck eight concentrations of enemy personnel and equipment, disrupting their coordination and inflicting significant damage. This included targeting a command post, an S-300 radar, and two enemy air defense systems, demonstrating the continued strategic efforts to degrade the Russian military’s operational capabilities.
In summary, the past 24 hours have been marked by a series of intense and varied engagements across multiple fronts. The Ukrainian defense, despite the scale and persistence of the enemy's offensive operations, has shown remarkable resilience and effectiveness in repelling these attacks. The continued resistance in areas such as the Kuraikhivskyi, Pokrovskyi, and Lyman directions exemplifies the strategic determination and operational strength of Ukrainian forces in the face of ongoing aggression. The situation remains dynamic, but the resolve of Ukraine's defenders continues to hold strong.
In unity, victory will be ours. Slava Ukraini! ????
