Donbas Area

Fierce fighting continued on the whole Donbas front as well as to the south of Izyum. Street battles went on in Rubizhne, Popasna and Mar’inka. Russians were not able to advance despite their attacks on many portions of the frontline.

Along with their ongoing attacks south of Izyum, Russians kept concentrating new forces in this area, in apparent preparation for their planned major attack. They were also gathering new forces on the southern flank of the Donbas front to the west of Volnovakha.
