Russian propagandists acknowledge the failure of the offensive operation, noting the consistently high pace of Ukrainian operations in the area.

Currently, Russian forces continue their offensive operations along the Kupiansk-Svatove-Kremenna line, near Bakhmut, close to Avdiivka, west of Donetsk, in the border zone between Donetsk and Zaporizhzhia regions, and in the western part of Zaporizhzhia region.
