Quote from General Staff: "Enemy personnel are demoralised, the promised ‘huge’ payments for participation in hostilities are not made under various pretexts by the command of the Russian occupation forces. The occupiers continue to suffer significant losses in battles with the Defence Forces of Ukraine.

On the Donetsk front, the Russian forces’ main efforts are focused on maintaining the occupied borders and regrouping troops.

The Russian army has not taken active action on the Kramatorsk front. They carried out shelling in the areas of the settlements of Maiaky, Pyskunivka and Siversk. In order to identify the positions of Ukrainian troops and adjust the fire, they conducted aerial reconnaissance, using the Orlan-10 UAV.

On the Lysychansk front, the Russian troops fired on the areas of the settlements of Vovchoiarivka, Loskutivka, Bila Hora, Verkhnokamʼianka, Verkhnokamʼianske, Vyimka and Zolotarivka.

On the Bakhmut front, Russian forces’ mortar and artillery shelling was recorded near the settlements of Kostiantynivka, Pokrovske, Mykolaivka, Vershyna, Berestove, Zaitseve, Klynove, Niu-York, Volodymyrivka and Ivano-Darivka.

Ukrainian troops successfully repulsed all offensive and assault actions of the Russian occupying forces on the areas of the settlements of Pokrovske, Niu-York and Marinka. The occupiers withdrew."

Details: In order to bind Ukrainian troops, the Russian troops carried out demonstrative actions in the area of the settlement of Vershyna. Near Pavlivka, the Russians carried out airstrikes from Ka-52 and Mi-24 helicopters.

After the withdrawal of Ukrainian units, the occupiers consolidated their positions in the districts of Sievierodonetsk, Syrotyne, Voronove and Borivske. 

On the Sloviansk front, the Ukrainian defenders stopped the Russian assault in the area of Mazanivka and the offensive near Bohorodychne. After suffering losses, the occupying forces retreated.

On the Slobozhanshchyna front, the Russians forces replenish the losses of their units and import ammunition.

On the Kharkiv front, Russian troops fired on the positions of Ukrainian troops and damaged elements of civilian infrastructure.

In the Pivdennyi Buh, Volyn, Polissia and Siversk areas there are no significant changes compared to the situation as of 24 June.

On the Mykolaiv front, attacks on positions of Armed Forces of Ukraine from mortars, artillery systems and rocket artillery proceeded.

In the Chernihiv Oblast, the Russians fired on the positions of the Armed Forces in the Khrinivka and Yanzhulivka districts from the territory of the Russian Federation. The occupiers continue to strengthen defence fortifications in border areas.
