According to the latest report from the Russian Defense Ministry, units from the North, South, Center, East, and Dnepr groups of forces have actively engaged Ukrainian military brigades in the Kharkiv region, Donetsk People's Republic (DPR), and Zaporizhia region. Notably, the North group reported the destruction of enemy formations in Malye Prokhody, Liptsy, and Volchansk, leading to the loss of up to 145 Ukrainian servicemen and critical military assets, including armored vehicles and artillery.
