Russian military forces have successfully repelled attacks from the Ukrainian Armed Forces on the Krasnolimansk direction, as reported by the Russian Ministry of Defense. The attacks, conducted by two assault groups from the Ukrainian 67th Mechanized Brigade and the 5th National Guard Brigade, targeted the areas of Chervona Dybrova and Belohorivka in the Luhansk People’s Republic.
