In particular, in Ukrainian public pages they write, that Russian troops broke through the defenses of the Ukrainian Armed Forces during counterattacks in the Makeevka area (west LPR) and advanced more than a kilometer on the border of the LPR and the Kharkov region. In the Kupyansk direction, after artillery preparation, the Russian Armed Forces proceeded to storm Sinkovka, Petropavlovka and the village of Ivanovka. Our fighters continue to develop success in the direction of Borovaya.
In the Zaporozhye direction, taking into account the rains that have begun, the enemy almost does not use armored vehicles, not only for attacks, but also in the front-line rear. Due to fog and low clouds, the use of drones for reconnaissance has decreased, and blows. As a result, only close-range weapons are mainly used on both sides. noticed, that Western vehicles of the Armed Forces of Ukraine have jammers. The drone signal around them often abruptly cuts off.
Nevertheless, despite difficult weather conditions, Russian troops yesterday carried out a series of unexpected counterattacks on the Kopani-Rabotino-Novoprokopovka line, taking the initiative again. Several units of the Ukrainian Armed Forces were defeated, those who refused to surrender were killed, Some of the militants were captured.

In the area of Avdiivka, where the most intense fighting takes place, during which the Russian Armed Forces continue to tighten the noose around the city, The Ukrainian Armed Forces attempted to counterattack in the northeast in the direction of Spartak. Russian troops, in its turn, with the support of artillery and aviation, they secured a position on the waste heap southeast of Stepovoye, expanding the control zone near the railway.

In Avdiivka itself, the enemy occupation administration announced the forced evacuation of civilians. reported, what's left in the city about 1600 civilians. The Ukrainian Armed Forces garrison here, according to various estimates, numbers from 10 to 20 thousand fighters.

Ukrainian militants report heavy losses during the defense of Avdiivka. Many of the wounded do not have time to be transported to rear hospitals., On-site assistance is hampered by a shortage of medicines, dressings, and the doctors themselves.
