Klishchiivka, Robotyne and Verbove: Russia is trying to regain lost positions at the front

The General Staff notes that the Ukrainian Defense Forces keep conducting defense in the east and south of Ukraine, offensive operations in the Melitopol direction and offensives in the Bakhmut direction, destroying the enemy, liberating the temporarily occupied territories step by step, and consolidating the achieved positions.

There were 44 combat clashes in the frontline over the last day.

In the area of responsibility of the North operational-strategic group, near the border with Belarus, the operational situation remains without significant changes.

In the northeastern border area, Russian forces maintain a military presence in the border areas, conduct active sabotage activities to prevent the deployment of Ukrainian troops to dangerous areas, and increase the density of minefields along the state border in the Belgorod region.

In the area of responsibility of the Khortytsia operational-strategic group in the Kupyansk and Lyman directions, the Russian troops did not conduct any offensive (assault) actions. In the Bakhmut direction, they unsuccessfully tried to regain the lost position near Klishchiivka, Luhansk region.

In the area of responsibility of the Tavria operational-strategic group in the Avdiivka, Marinka and Shakhtarsk directions, the Russian invaders carried out over 20 unsuccessful attacks in the areas of Tonenke, Marinka, Novomykhailivka and Staromayorske in the Donetsk region. They also tried to regain their lost position southwest of Avdiivka in Donetsk region to no avail.

In the Zaporizhzhia direction, the invaders tried to regain their lost ground in the areas of Robotyne and Verbove in the Zaporizhzhia region, but had no success.

The Ukrainian Defense Forces continue to conduct offensive operations in the Melitopol direction, offensive (assault) operations in the Bakhmut direction, inflict losses in manpower and equipment on the occupation forces, and exhaust the Russian enemy along the entire front line.

In the area of responsibility of the Odesa operational-strategic group in the Kherson direction, Ukrainian soldiers continue counter-battery combat, destroying supply depots and successfully striking at Russia's rear.
