Micekiltä pitkästä aikaa rintamakatsausta, tällä kertaa Avdiivkan hyökkäyksestä. Arturin arvailun mukaan ryssien Avdiivkan hyökkäyksen kärki on syöty vaikka puskut jatkuu, kuvamateriaalin pohjalta päälle pataljoonan verran menny kalustoo. Pohtii myös että ryssien tavote oli puskee uket pois Vodianen ja Opytnen alueelta, mutta henk koht oon sitä mieltä että tuollasta massaa ei laiteta peliin pelkästään parin kyläpahasen suojaamiseks, vaan tarkotus oli saartaa Avdiivka puskemalla etelästä Lastochkyneen ja Orlivkaan ja pohjosesta Berdychiin ja Semenivkaan.
"Avdiivka - yesterday one of the largest Russian attacks in this region of the front in many months took place here. At least 2 battalion battle groups (+2 to support) took part in offensive operations, with strong support from artillery, aviation and reconnaissance units. The local Russian offensive ended with the capture of several areas in the gray zone and very high losses in equipment and people. Taking into account the flow of film and photo materials, perhaps up to 50% of Russian vehicles were destroyed or seriously damaged. In fact, there are at least 15-18 tanks and 25-30 other armored vehicles that have been destroyed or damaged. This is de facto the equivalent of one battalion battle group. The Russian attack was unsuccessful and did not lead to a real threat to the defense of Avdiivka. It was rather an attempt to push Ukrainian troops away from the villages of Wodiane and Opytne, where the Ukrainians had recently achieved some successes. The Russians did not take any valuable Ukrainian positions yesterday or today. The Russian offensive itself has lost much of its energy in this region this evening. If the Russians wanted to gain the initiative here, they failed."
