Following the Russian withdrawal from the northwestern bank of the Dnipro River in the southern Kherson region, the focus of fighting has shifted eastward, according to both Russian and Ukrainian sources.

Fighting is reportedly heaviest in the eastern Donetsk area, which together with Luhansk comprises the Russian-speaking Donbas region.
