A force Russia built up in Luhansk Oblast went on the offensive in the vicinity of the town of Kreminna, where Ukrainian forces had been advancing slowly until recently, with Luhansk Governor Serhiy Hayday reporting that Ukrainian troops were “on the defensive” in that area now.
Meanwhile, in Vuhledar, the Russians attacked with columns of armor. However,
the attack was repulsed with heavy losses of men and equipment, according both to Ukrainian sources and Russian military bloggers.
