A Telegram post from Suspilne Donbas reported that the village of Ridkodub was almost completely destroyed. During the liberation of Ridkodub on the Lyman direction, Ukrainian forces captured two Russian soldiers, including a dark-skinned mercenary from Africa and a Russian serviceman from the Russian Far East.

The source stated that practically no buildings remain in Ridkodub, with only a few basements left. The post also mentioned that the fighters of the 'Pomsta' brigade drove Russians out of the village.
