The Ukrainian armed forces attempted a counterattack (melee) in the Shevchenko area but received a fatal response from the Russian Central Army Group.
On April 3, according to the report of the Russian war correspondent Lisytsen, the Russian troops repelled several small-scale platoon-level counterattacks by the Ukrainian army near the Red Army Village in Shevchenko. However, the losses of the Ukrainian army were not significant; each counterattack resulted in the loss of one or two armored vehicles and an infantry squad.
A source within the Russian security forces told the Russian News Agency that four brigades of the Ukrainian army had been transferred from the Kursk direction to try to hold the city of Pokrovsk (Red Army Village) and recapture the cities of Selidovo and Kurakhovo.
Ukrainian tanks burned on the Kramatorsk front. Fighters from the 1442nd Motorized Rifle Regiment of the Russian Southern Army Group destroyed Ukrainian armored vehicles, pickup trucks, drone command posts, and personnel on the Kramatorsk-Druzhkivka front.
