War in #Ukraine continues with reported major #Russian losses in the #Avdiivka direction, as the occupiers' strategy of throwing waves of infantry and vehicles to the front yields no results.

Ukrainians made incremental advances in the directions of #Kermenchyk, #Pisky and #Opytne, in the #Donetsk oblast.

Overall, #Ukrainians keep their defensive position strong while conducting sustained targeting of Russian military bases, airfields and logistical hubs deep into occupied territory.
