Russian army command is only trying to show movement along the entire front — Malomuzh.

According to General Malomuzh, the Russian command is trying to demonstrate advancement along the entire front, capturing any geographically marked settlements. However, the situation on the actual fronts is not as reported by Russian commanders and brigade leaders. The enemy is trying to improve their position in the Kharkiv direction, especially near Vovchansk, but the Armed Forces of Ukraine are stabilizing the situation. Russians are also attempting to advance in the Kupiansk, Lyman, and Kramatorsk directions, but Ukrainian defenders are holding the line and inflicting significant losses on the enemy.

The most difficult situation has developed in the Pokrovsk direction, where the Russians are conducting complex attacks with aviation, KABs, and missile systems. However, Ukrainian troops are holding the city and the flanks, and there is no prospect of it being captured by the enemy. Fighting is also ongoing in Vuhledar, but the city remains under the control of Ukrainian forces. In Zaporizhzhia, the Russians are trying to push Ukrainian troops away from their logistics, but the main positions are being held. A significant alternative strategy for Ukraine is the operation in the Kursk region, and attacks on other sectors of Russia will be carried out later.
