Further west still, Russian troops continue to encircle a pocket north of Velykyi Burluk. Despite the Ukrainian counterattack, Russians recaptured Vasilivka and entered Blahodatne, once again increasing pressure on the Ukrainian garrison in the area; this is occurring at the same time that both confirmed advances (the capture of the Chernyakiv and Loshakove farms) and unconfirmed advances (Mala Vovcha, Komisarove, Shyroke, and Bereznyky) by small numbers of Russian troops are being reported, suggesting that Ukrainian Army’s presence there has been significantly reduced.
