| [NYPost] … on Thursday [Ukraine] recaptured the village of Staromaiorske from Russian forces in the Donetsk region. "The 35th brigade and their territorial defense unit have fulfilled their task and liberated the village of Staromaiorske. Glory to Ukraine!" a soldier said in a video shared on social media by Zelensky. Members of a military brigade of military drones carry out their maneuvers and missions during a morning in the Kherson area, a few kilometers from the Russian front. Ukrainian forces claimed advances in the south and east, including near Bakhmut. Seizing the village could open the way for the Ukrainian forces to push southward toward the coast. Kyiv's troops were also advancing toward the city of Melitopol near the Sea of Azov in the Zaporizhizhia region, according to Maliar. The ISW had a report on this indicating that dozens of Ukrainian tanks and/or armored troop carriers participated in this operation. |

| #4 Video showed them using a BMP as a minefield detector and driving it (assumed unmanned) into an anti-tank ditch. Another popped up showing an MRAP that bypassed the dragon's teeth under artillery fire doing a little scouting. 10th Corps has also been confirmed as committed and it is the one that has all Western equipment and training. |
