Russian forces conducted 11 attacks near Makiivka, Nevske, and Serebriansky forest areas in the Lyman sector. One clash is still ongoing, with the rest repelled by Ukrainian forces.

Russian aggression caused ten confrontations in the Kramatorsk sector. Seven attacks near Chasiv Yar, New York, and in the Novomarkove direction were repelled. Three clashes continue.

Fighters from the 31st Separate Mechanized Brigade managed to break out from the Russian encirclement north of the village of Prohres in Donetsk Oblast on the night of July 25, captured on July 21. 

The brigade commander did not issue a retreat order, so the personnel independently fought their way out.

The military war may be swinging in our favor, but the information war continues.

Just as an army needs soldiers, so does a free society need its journalists to ensure that people have access to honest, trustworthy voices to understand the world around them.

For the past five years, The New Voice of Ukraine has been working tirelessly to push back against Russian narratives and defend democracy. But we cannot do it alone.
