Syrskiy reported on the situation at the front

The situation remains most difficult in Donetsk region. The enemy continues to actively storm the Pokrovske direction and attempts to advance with sabotage groups.

'I would particularly like to highlight the battles on the Pokrovske direction by our soldiers of the Special Operations Forces and the 59th Assault Brigade of the Unmanned Systems. The Novopavlivka direction: the fighters of the 5th Assault Brigade and the 225th Separate Assault Regiment — thank you! Every Russian attempt to break through must receive an appropriate fire response from the Ukrainian forces. In particular, we are destroying Russian sabotage groups that are trying to advance and enter Ukrainian cities and villages.'

In other areas of the front, as the president noted, Ukrainian defenders continue to resist the occupiers.

'The situation in the border areas of Sumy and Kharkiv regions remains complex. The Russian army continues to torment our people in Kherson and Mykolaiv regions, attacking civilians with various types of drones. We will respond significantly. Thank you to everyone who ensures the necessary combat results for Ukraine!'
