The troops of the Russian Federation were beaten by the air force near Rubizhne. The Armed Forces repulsed the assault in the direction of Kozachia Lopan — Sosnivka.

• In the Bakhmut direction, Russia is trying to take full control of the Bakhmut — Lysychansk route. Russian troops shelled Spirne, Vyimka and Vesele with artillery. In the Myronivka — Luhansk and Holmivsk — Novoluhansk directions, the Armed Forces of Ukraine stopped the offensive of the Russian troops and forced the occupiers to withdraw.
