In the area of responsibility of the Pivnich (North) Operational Strategic Group on the Volyn and Polissia fronts, the operational situation remains unchanged.

On the Novopavlivka front, Ukrainian troops continued to hold back the Russians near Krasnohorivka, Heorhiivka, Novomykhailivka and west of Pobieda (Donetsk Oblast), where the Russians tried to break through Ukraine's defences 29 times. Moreover, Ukrainian defenders repelled four Russian attacks south of Vuhledar, Staromaiorske and Urozhaine (Donetsk Oblast). On the Orikhiv front, Ukraine's Defence Forces repelled eight Russian attacks near Malynivka and Robotyne (Zaporizhzhia Oblast).

In the area of responsibility of the Odesa Operational Strategic Group on the Kherson front, Ukraine's Defence Forces are continuing to hold their positions and repel the assaults of the Russian forces. Despite significant losses, the Russians are continuing to try to drive Ukrainian units out of their positions.  For example, the Russians made one unsuccessful attempt to storm Ukrainian positions on the left (east) bank of the Dnipro over the past day.  

Meanwhile, Ukrainian defenders continue to inflict losses in military personnel and equipment on the Russian occupying forces and exhaust them along the entire frontline.
