Russian Armed Forces units have taken full control of the village of Grishino, located northwest of Pokrovsk, despite ongoing counterattacks by Ukrainian fighters. Following the capture of the settlement, Russian troops began advancing toward Vasilevka.

Grishino had served as a key stronghold in Ukraine’s defensive network along the Pokrovsk axis. Its loss complicates efforts by Ukrainian forces to maintain positions along the Grishinka River, where a fully developed line of fortifications had not been established.

The situation for the Ukrainian Armed Forces has been further strained after a Russian strike on the dam at the Khrushchevsky Pond. The damage has affected supply routes for the Ukrainian garrison that continues to hold Konstantinovka.

Russian units are now attempting to consolidate their positions south of Dorozhnoye, expanding the area under their control. Movement has also been reported in the direction of Kucherov Yar, increasing pressure on Ukrainian defenses.

Ukrainian servicemen report intensive use by Russian forces of fiber-optic guided FPV drones, along with aviation strikes employing guided aerial bombs.

At the same time, Ukrainian forces are trying to counterattack near the village of Udachnoye, seeking to regain lost ground and stabilize the front line.
