5/ Donetsk Oblast OD. The 🇷🇺 has not made any meaningful progress against the 🇺🇦 defensive line along the T0513 Highway from Siversk to Bakhmut. Russian forces have had their greatest success in the Bakhmut & Avdiivka areas and are likely to be the focus for the 🇷🇺

8/ Zaporizhzhia OD. The most intense action remains artillery duels between 🇺🇦 & 🇷🇺 batteries all along the forward line of troops. The VKS has increased its air & missile strikes of ZSU defensive positions, especially south of Zaporizhzhia in the Vasylivka-Orikhiv area.
