Despite this, Ukrainian defenders repelled the assault. As a result of the battle, 26 Russian soldiers were killed, and more than ten others were seriously wounded.
The Defense Forces also destroyed more than 20 enemy motorcycles and up to 10 ATVs.
The brigade noted that the Russian side is not evacuating the wounded.

Since the start of the day, Russian troops have carried out 55 attacks on the positions of the Ukrainian Defense Forces. The most tense situation is observed in the Pokrovsk, Huliaipole, and Kostiantynivka sectors.
Finnish President Alexander Stubb suggested that hostilities in Ukraine could continue for at least another three to four months.
