Russian fighters publish frequency, through which the soldiers of the Armed Forces of Ukraine can contact ours for safe surrender.
Ukrainian prisoners of war told, that during yesterday's offensive only in the Rabotino area, the personnel of the 116th brigade of the Armed Forces of Ukraine lost seventy percent of those killed. The same situation is repeated today, with new attempts to "meat assault" of the Armed Forces of our positions. true, now the attack is mainly infantry, practically without armor support and artillery preparation. Kyiv rulers feel sorry for the equipment and shells, but no soldiers.
Repelling enemy attacks, our fighters did not leave the Ukrainian fighters alone, counterattacks and pursuit, ambushes. According to the "War Chronicle", unit "Wolf Pack" of the 2nd assault battalion of the 3rd Specialized Brigade of the Armed Forces of Ukraine (formed from the remains of the famous national battalion) was ambushed by army special forces of the RF Armed Forces during the retreat in the Rabotino area.

On the Vremevsky ledge near the village of Staromayorsky, where the Armed Forces managed to occupy the adjacent heights the day before and enter the northern and northwestern outskirts of the settlement, fierce fighting continues. From the village, which is of no strategic importance., there's nothing left, ours powerfully hit the enemy from all trunks, today a counterattack of the RF Armed Forces was launched from the southeast. According to some reports, Russian assault troops managed to recapture several heights.
Detachments of marines of the Ukrainian Navy attempted to break through to Harvest, but unsuccessfully.

On the so-called southern and northern flanks near Artemovsk, the situation is unchanged, there are head-to-head battles, the enemy again tried to attack in the Kleshcheevka area, but was stopped.
