Although Vladimir Putin’s forces took control of two more villages, their advance near Avdiivka was halted for now, Ukrainian military spokesperson Dmytro Lykhoviy said. In Moscow, the Russian defence ministry said that its forces had “as a result of coordinated action continued to occupy more advantageous positions” near Avdiivka but did not refer to any offensive near Novomykhailivka. According to the US-based think tank The Institute for the Study of War monitoring the offensive, “Russian milbloggers claimed that Ukrainian forces only maintain positions in western Novomykhailivka and that fighting continues in the area”.
