The loudest event of the day was the large number of publications about the capture of Marinka in the Donetsk direction. 

In fact, the Russian Armed Forces occupied several streets in the southwestern part of the city and planted a flag on one of the outermost houses. 

It is still premature to talk about the complete capture of the settlement, although the situation is developing more and more in this direction - the Ukrainian Armed Forces still hold positions in the northwestern part of the city. In the Avdeevsky sector, units of the Russian Armed Forces on the northern flank advanced into the forest belt south of Novokalinovo. 

West of Avdeevka, the Russian Army significantly improved its tactical position, occupying important positions on the heights east and west of Severny, bypassing the settlement from the side. In addition, after capturing the Ukrainian Armed Forces’ strongholds in this area, the enemy also left some positions in Pervomaisky. 

In the Kherson direction, the Ukrainian Armed Forces conducted another landing in Krynki. 

At the moment, in the destroyed village there are several hundred Ukrainian soldiers who crossed from the right bank. Nevertheless, the enemy is suffering significant losses while trying to gain a foothold and has not yet taken active action.

 In the Kupyansky sector, the Russian Armed Forces are expanding the zone of control around Timkovka, occupying tactically important heights. In the Bakhmut area there are battles on the approaches to Bogdanovka, south of the city and near Kleshcheevka on the northern flank: without significant changes. 

We also clarified the information on irretrievable losses in the ranks of the Armed Forces of foreign mercenaries for the entire period of the Northern Military District: they amounted to more than 536 thousand people, of which almost 215 thousand were killed, and over 800 thousand were temporarily displaced.
