The invaders also attempted to attack the Armed Forces of Ukraine units near the settlements of Zatyshok, Rusyn Yar, Poltavka, and Volodymyrivka. As a result, the enemy took control of Popiv Yar. The Ukrainian defenders, however, managed to take control of Hruzke and Vysoke in the Donetsk region.

As a result of the hostilities in the Siversky and Dobropillia directions of the front, Russian troops captured two settlements, but Ukrainian defenders were also able to achieve successful results and take control of some territories. The situation in eastern Ukraine remains tense, and fighting for the liberation of occupied territories continues.
