In the Sloviansk sector, six attempts by Russian forces to advance in the areas of Zakytne and Platonivka were also thwarted. Russian troops have increased pressure towards Lyptsi and Nykyforivka, attempting to infiltrate small infantry groups through tree lines. However, these attempts are being met with effective fire, demonstrating the proficiency of Ukrainian forces in maintaining their defensive positions.
