- 90-Russian forces continued their efforts to advance the E40 highway to Slavyansk and southeast of Izyum.
- Occupation forces continued to fight in the northeastern settlements around Kharkiv.
- Russian forces continued to reinforce reserve positions in Zaporizhia and Kherson oblasts, taking defensive measures to strengthen the Russian presence in the Black Sea.
