Russia is trying to advance in the Izium area and establish complete control over the city of Mariupol. Also, occupiers try to improve the tactical position of the divisions in the Mykolayiv direction, the General Staff of the Armed Forces of Ukraine reported.

In the areas of Donetsk and Tavriya, the occupiers continue the shelling in different directions and attempt to storm Mariupol.

In the South Bug direction, the enemy once again unsuccessfully tried to establish control over Oleksandrivka. Russians suffered losses in equipment and personnel instead.
