Over the past 24 hours, the front line situation remains tense, with Ukrainian defenders repelling multiple attacks by Russian forces
During this period, over 168 combat engagements took place, and the fierce battle for every patch of Ukrainian land continues. The Pokrovsk direction is particularly intense, where the enemy pressed forward relentlessly in 64 attempts to break through our defenses. This marks one of the most active periods for Russian operations on this section of the front. No less tense is the situation in the Kurshchyna region, where the enemy launched 23 assault attempts, striving to seize strategic positions. This information comes from the daily reports of the General Staff of the Armed Forces of Ukraine, which provides updates on the dynamics of hostilities and the state of the front. Ukrainian military officials note that the opponent actively leverages their advantage in manpower, trying to break through Ukrainian defenses. Nevertheless, Ukrainian troops stand firm, reducing enemy casualties and demonstrating high resilience. These days at the front reaffirm that Ukraine does not surrender and continues fighting for its independence and territorial integrity. The most intense fighting was observed in the Kharkiv direction, where the enemy carried out at least six attacks in the areas of Vovchansk, Krasne Pervoye, and Malaya Shapkivka. Ukrainian defenders successfully countered and halted the enemy’s advances in time. On the Kupiansk front, Ukrainian forces repelled three attacks, targeting strategic locations such as Nova Kruhlyakivka, Petropavlivka, and Zakhryzove. No less fierce were clashes in the Lyman direction, where the enemy attempted 20 times to penetrate defenses near the settlements of Nadiya, Nove, Ridkodub, Kolodjazhi, Yampolivka, Mirne, and near Novyi Mir. However, Ukrainian defenders held their ground and prevented the enemy from advancing further. On the Sievierodonetsk line, our forces twice repelled enemy attempts to break through at the area of Verkhnyokamyanske, considering the enemy’s offensive actions. Meanwhile, on the Kramatorsk front, 16 combat engagements were recorded near key points — Chasiv Yar, Andriivka, Kurdiumivka, as well as in the areas of Maiske, Stupochki, and Bile Hory. Ukrainian troops demonstrated their mastery by repelling Russian assault attempts here as well. In the Toretsk direction, fighting took place near Ozaryanivka, Dachne, Diliiivka, Shcherbyneve, and Toretsk city, where the enemy launched nine attacks. Ukrainian defenders again managed to stop the advancing occupiers, preventing them from gaining footholds in strategic positions. Particularly intense was the fighting in the Pokrovsk direction, where Ukrainian forces repelled 64 enemy assault attempts near several settlements — Yelyzavetivka, Lysivka, Kotline, Udaне, Novoserhiivka, Kotlyarivka, Stara Mykolaivka, Nova Poltavka, Troitske, Novooleksandrivka, Novopavlivka, Bohdanivka, Andriivka, Bagatyra, Nadiiivka, as well as in the directions of Oleksiivka, Pokrovsk, and Malynivka. All this indicates an increase in Russian assault operations, but Ukrainian soldiers skillfully defend these attacks, preventing the enemy from capturing Ukrainian territory. On the Novopavlivka front, the enemy conducted 13 attacks near Kostyantynivka, Pryvilne, Vile Pali, and in the direction of Odryadnoe. The enemy attempted to break through the defenses, but Ukrainian forces successfully repelled these attempts. In the Orehiv direction, Russian troops made one unsuccessful assault near Lobkovo, and on the Dnipro side, one failed attempt to break through forward was recorded. In total, no combat encounters have been recorded on the Huliaipole front, and on the Volyn and Polissya directions, there are no signs of large-scale enemy offensive groups forming. This suggests that Ukrainian forces are effectively holding back the enemy’s advances and maintaining defenses across all critically important sectors of the front. Importantly, Ukrainian defenders continue to inflict losses on occupying forces, both in personnel and equipment. They actively disrupt enemy logistics chains and undermine their offensive potential behind the lines, demonstrating high combat discipline and bravery. Over the past day, the enemy launched seven airstrikes, fired 13 cruise missile attacks, and carried out 302 shelling incidents, nine of which involved multiple launch rocket systems. Overall, despite all difficulties, Ukrainian soldiers remain on the front lines, maintaining defense and preventing Russia from achieving any significant victories. Their courage, stability, and resolve are crucial factors in this ongoing struggle for the country's freedom and independence.
