Russian military units have re-entered the eastern parts of Chasov Yar from the east and northeast, as part of ongoing positional combat operations in the Artyomovsk direction. The Russian forces have managed to advance and are now threatening to surround Chasiv Yar, a key hillside town just outside of Bakhmut. Concurrently, Russian troops have begun encircling Ukrainian units in fields between Pervomaiske and Netailovke, with a high possibility that Ukrainian units have already left this artillery pocket. Meanwhile, a senior Ukrainian intelligence official has stated that Ukraine will eventually need to enter into negotiations with Russia to end the ongoing conflict, emphasizing that a military victory alone is unlikely to resolve the war.
