The Russian forces are attempting to push through the Ukrainian defenses in the Kreminna direction and actively employing armored vehicles and infantry in the Svatove direction.
The fiercest fighting is now ongoing around the city of Kreminna in Luhansk region as the Russians attempt to secure the right flank of their Bakhmut sector.
Russian occupation forces’ command, under the intense pressure of the Ukrainian Army, withdrew from Kreminna to Rubizhne, 15 kilometers south of the front line.
