Situation on the Slovyansk & Kramatorsk directions, Donetsk Oblast: Over the last two weeks, Ukrainian forces continued their counterattacks east of Slovyansk and Kramatorsk, making new progress in several different areas. In the north, Ukrainian forces cleared the fortifications and forests southwest of Kryva Luka from earlier Russian re-infiltrations and began infiltrating east towards the village of Kalenyky. Russian forces continued attempts at dislodging Ukrainian soldiers from their positions in the northern streets of Kryva Luka. To the south, the Ukrainians recaptured the village of Yurkivka and regained control over a series of treeline positions east of the Siverskyi Donets River. From there, small assault groups began infiltrations eastward into the villages of Lypivka, Dibrova, and Fedorivka Druha. Positional battles in Rai-Oleksandrivka continue, where neither side is able to gain the upper hand in the large grey-zone there. To the southwest, Ukrainian forces initiated a new series of counterattacks along the Siverskyi-Donets Canal, building on their previous successes near Yurkivka and Zapovide. They were able to recapture several strongpoints along the western bank of the canal, threatening to cut off Malynivka. Other assault groups began pushing north from their earlier spearhead into Minkivka, recapturing the village of Tykhonivka and the surrounding treelines. Clearing operations against the remaining Russian positions in Malynivka are underway, which would effectively eliminate the Russian bridgehead west of the Siverskyi-Donets Canal. + ~17.30 km² in favour of Ukraine.
