Russian forces made minor gains in the eastern part of Severodonetsk, but Ukrainian forces continues to launch localized counterattacks in Severodonetsk and its outskirts. Russian forces did not attempt to launch assaults on Avdiivka. Russian forces failed to regain lost positions in northeastern Kherson Oblast and continued to defend previously occupied positions. Russian forces also reportedly lacked effective communication with command centers and relied on messengers due to the shortage of encrypted phones. Ukraine is not directly involved in those discussions, despite the US commitment to "nothing about Ukraine without Ukraine."
