Furthermore, the 'Sur' (South) military group reportedly advanced into enemy defenses, liberating the settlements of Malinivka and Piskunivka in the Donetsk People's Republic. The 'Vostok' (East) military group captured the settlements of Novoskelevae, Pisantsi, and Bogodarivka in the Dnipropetrovsk region, and Novoselikva, Rivne, Lesnoe, and Kopani in the Zaporizhzhia region. The settlement of Oleksandrivka in the Dnipropetrovsk region was also "liberated" in the last day, the ministry added.

The Russian military command also explained that Russian units continued to eliminate the last remaining Ukrainian military groups in the cities of Konstantinovka and Lyman. Sappers have already begun demining operations in Lyman. The capture of these two strategic cities could allow Russian forces to flank Sloviansk and Kramatorsk, which are considered the main Ukrainian strongholds in the Donetsk region, annexed by Russia in 2022 and partially occupied.
