With offensive and assault actions, the Russian occupiers unsuccessfully tried to break through the defense of our units and advance in the direction of the settlements of Spirne, Ivano-Daryivka, Vyimka, Yakovlivka, Kodema, Vershyna and Zaitseve. They suffered losses and left chaotically. Fighting continues in some areas.

The enemy is trying to restore the combat capability of the units that suffered losses during the hostilities in the indicated direction.
Two sea-based cruise missile carriers are ready for use in the waters of the Black and Azov Seas.
Losses of Russian occupation forces in manpower are increasing. In this regard, the command of the invaders is expanding the practice of postponing the terms of rotations of advanced units for an indefinite period without supplementing them with personnel. All this significantly affects the moral and psychological state of Russian servicemen and so-called volunteers and worsens their motivation to participate in hostilities.
We believe in the Armed Forces! Together we will win! Glory to Ukraine!
