Russian troops, according to international experts, have achieved little success on the outskirts of Severodonetsk, but stalled in other areas of attack. Also, the occupiers managed to advance somewhat in Metelkino.

Attempts are also continuing to block Ukrainian communications on the Bakhmut-Lysichansk highway, ground and artillery strikes are being carried out on the highway, the report says.
Analysts note that the Russian military is likely to face mounting losses of personnel and equipment, making it more difficult to try to resume offensive operations at other critical points as the low-key fighting for Severodonetsk continues.
Russian troops are also trying to push the Armed Forces of Ukraine from the border with Russia north of Kharkov, but they have not been able to achieve any significant success, which makes their position vulnerable to a Ukrainian counteroffensive.
