In the Volyn direction, the enemy did not carry out offensive actions. The military leadership of the Republic of Belarus implements measures to strengthen the protection of the border with Ukraine. There is a probability of direct involvement of the armed forces of the Republic of Belarus in combat actions against Ukraine on the side of Russia.

In the Volnovakha direction, the enemy is trying to advance towards Krasnaya Polyana. An attempt was made to advance in the direction of Olginka.
According to available data, the occupant units that carried out an offensive in the Donetsk operational area met strong resistance from the Armed Forces of Ukraine and lost their offensive capabilities.
