 The summary of the 142nd day of Russian invasion to Ukraine, as of 22:00 – 15th July 2022 (Kyiv time).

Day summary:

Donetsk Front is slowly heating up as Russian troops tried to advance in the area of Vuhledar and near Avdiivka. Intense fighting is reported from the Siverskyi Donetsk front, but Russians are unable to advance and also maintain the newly gained positions.

Ukrainian forces successfully reversed Russian gains near Spirne and repelled numerous attacks in the area.

Kharkiv Front

includes the area of Kharkiv and Chuhuiv

 Kharkiv & Chuhuiv direction

• There was no change on Kharkiv front.

Bakhmut Front

includes the vicinity of Bakhmut

• Russian forces attacked Kodema and Vershyna, but without success and retreated. The defense of Vershyna and Kodema is crucial for Ukrainians. If both settlements fall, Ukrainian forces stationed in the vicinity of Vuhlehirks powerplant will be encircled.

Slovyansk Front

includes the vicinity of Slovyansk and Kramatorsk

Slovyansk direction

• Ukrainian forces repelled an attack towards Kurulka from the north. The Russian recon element that was present in the vicinity of Kurulka seems to either withdrew or was defeated.
• Russian troops attempted to gain full control over Bohorodychne. Ukrainian forces, stationed on the high ground nearby, repelled the attack and the settlement remains contested.
• Ukrainian defenders repulsed Russian attack on Nahirne and the nearby Bilohorivka.
• The enemy did not have enough manpower to maintain control over Spirne after the attack towards Ivano-Darivka. Ukrainian forces recaptured the western part of the settlement and repelled a subsequent attack.

Note: Upon further investigation and reports by Ukrainian General Staff, it seems likely that Russian forces has advanced towards Kurulka through the forest area between Dibrovne and Mazanivka, not through the fields near Dibrovne.
