Russian forces have intensified their activity on the Huliaypole direction, attempting to use Huliaypole as a staging ground for further advances toward Orikhiv. According to Serhiy Bratchuk, spokesperson for the Ukrainian Volunteer Army 'South', Russian troops are trying to bypass Orikhiv from the west, south, and southeast with the aim of cutting off Ukrainian logistics and hindering the city's defense.

Ukrainian defense forces are reportedly holding back the offensive, targeting enemy logistics and destroying small groups of Russian infantry attempting to infiltrate the area near Mala Tokmachka.
