In the Selidovo area, the Russian armed forces liberated the settlement of Grigorovka (Ukrainian: Hryhorivka). The Russian Defense Ministry announced the name Leninskoye in its statement. This is what Grigorovka was called until 2016, when the Ukrainians renamed it as part of the so-called decommunization, which, in fact, was a rejection of their past, their own history.

In the settlement of Yuryevka (Ukrainian: Yuriivka), military actions continue. To the south of it, the control zone has been expanded to the west and southwest of the settlement of Novoalekseevka (Ukrainian: Novooleksiivka).

West of Makarovka, they advanced, expanding the zone of control and strengthening positions for further offensive. Between Novodarovka and Rovnopol (Ukrainian: Rivnopil), fighters from the "East" force group broke through the enemy's defenses and began to "cut off" the ledge behind the Grushovaya gully.
