As a result of the successful actions of the units of the Defense Forces, the enemy daily suffers significant losses of personnel and military equipment, which significantly affects the psychological state of the occupiers. The servicemen of the units of the enemy's tactical unit operating in the Kherson region understand the futility of the offensive, so they complain that there are only two ways for them to return home: either through injury or death.
Units of the Defense Forces repelled the attacks of the occupiers, causing them losses, in the areas of the settlements of Vesela Dolyna, Bakhmut, Zayitseve, Avdiivka and Novomykhailivka.
