According to the report, Ukrainian units continue to hold control over a substantial part of Huliaipole in the Zaporizhzhia region despite the difficult situation. The situation in Huliaipole is indeed difficult. They are actively conducting assault operations and trying to bring in consolidation groups," the military said. According to the Defence Forces, the enemy has a significant advantage in both manpower and weaponry. In an attempt to destroy Ukrainian positions and push defenders out of the settlement, Russian invaders are actively using kamikaze drones and artillery, striking with guided aerial bombs and unguided air rockets. Fierce street fighting is also ongoing.

The report stated that a considerable part of Huliaipole continues to be held by the Defence Forces of Ukraine. Their units remain in position, conduct defensive operations, carry out counterstrikes, and conduct search-and-strike actions to destroy enemy assault groups, inflicting tangible losses on the enemy. According to reports, in the last attack in Huliaipole, the Russian army has already lost more than 300 personnel, as well as 60 units of weapons and military equipment. The situation in the city is very difficult, but the enemy does not have full control over it.

Additionally, as for Stepnohirsk, defensive operations are ongoing there. Russian forces are attempting to infiltrate the settlement along the main road. Fierce fighting is also continuing in this locality. Part of Stepnohirsk remains under the control of Ukrainian defenders. Statements by Putin and reports by Gerasimov regarding Huliaipole and Stepnohirsk resemble the situation with Kupiansk, which they have captured several times already. The haste of such blitzkriegs is driven by the upcoming meeting of the presidents of Ukraine and the United States, which is expected to take place in the near future.
