The situation in the village of Chortkino near the Russia-Ukraine border remains tense. The Ukrainian army has launched attacks again in recent days, and the fighting mainly occurred between the purification facilities and Besarovka. Troops from the 24th Independent Assault Battalion ("Aidar" Battalion) of the Ukrainian army have repeatedly tried to infiltrate the western suburbs of Chortkino and establish a foothold there, but each time they were repelled by the Russian forces. In addition, the Russian forces attacked the "Aidar" Battalion's positions near Besarovka, causing the "Aidar" Battalion to lose an important stronghold. Another area of combat took place in the eastern part of Chortkino, where the Russian forces attacked the positions of the 1st Rifle Battalion of the 17th Independent Mechanized Brigade of the Ukrainian army in the Pavlovka area, destroying a Ukrainian electronic warfare base.
Although the Ukrainian army failed to gain anything, it still has a strong obsession with Chortkino and continues to reinforce troops there. Near Rizhivka, units of the newly formed 125th Independent Heavy Mechanized Brigade of the Ukrainian army appeared. It is speculated that the Ukrainian army may be preparing for a new large-scale offensive operation in the direction of Chortkino.
