Although Trump intends to fully support Ukraine in its fight against Russia, according to Ukrainian media RBC, hundreds of thousands of U.S. federal officials were forced to take vacations due to the "shutdown" or shutdown of the U.S. government, which led to the suspension of U.S. military aid to Ukraine. Because no officials handled the matter. The longer the U.S. government is "shut down", the longer the suspension of U.S. military aid to Ukraine may be. Several Ukrainian delegations originally scheduled to go to the United States for negotiations in the next few weeks are also reconsidering their visit plans due to the shutdown of the US government.

On the ground battlefield, in the direction of Red Army City, a fierce counterattack is underway, especially on the northern line. In the past 24 hours, the Ukrainian army has recaptured more than half of Novo Sakhovo, and at the same time dispatched a large number of armored vehicles, including the Bradley infantry fighting vehicles, to storm the Merza Railway Station. Despite the heavy losses, there is news that the Ukrainian army has retaken it, but there is also news that the Russian army still retains a position here. If the area is recaptured by the Ukrainian army, the Ukrainian army will have the opportunity to attack Boikovka again and try again to cut off the Russian troops on the northern line. At the same time, the Russian army stormed 4 kilometers north from Kucherovyar and advanced into the forest belt north of the village of Kolodz. The eastern suburbs of the village had been occupied by the Russian army. It seems that the Ukrainian army's counterattack on the middle of the northern line did not affect the Russian offensive operations in the northernmost region.

In the Liman direction, according to Ukraine observer Mashovets, the 20th and 25th Composite Armies of Russia's Western Army Group are fighting in that direction. They have assembled about 80,000 to 90,000 soldiers, 240 to 320 tanks, nearly 600 armored vehicles, 350 to 360 barrel guns and as many as 220 multiple rocket launcher systems. The size of this force is roughly the same as that of the Russian troops in the direction of Red Army City, but does not include the Russian troops in the direction of Dobropylia on the northern line of the Red Army. Among them, the Russian 20th Army, with the 3rd and 144th Mobil-Pedestrian Divisions as the main force, is fighting in the north of Liman with the support of the 2nd Mobil-Pedestrian Division of the 1st Tank Group Army; the 25th Army, with the 67th Mobil-Pedestrian Division, the 164th and 169th Mobil-Pedestrian Brigades, and the 11th Tank Brigade as the main force, is fighting in the southeast of Liman.

In addition to these main forces, they also have 3 to 4 additional "mobilization reserve regiments" and 4 to 5 "independent battalions". In addition, all the frontline units of these two armies formed "assault battalions", at least seven or eight in number, mostly composed of prisoners or deserters. In addition, the 10th and 16th Special Brigades affiliated to the Russian General Staff, as well as detachments of Rubicon's top drone force, are also fighting in the direction of Liman.

In addition to pressing Liman from the north, the 20th Army's goals also included breaking through the Nitrius River, reaching the West Bank, and advancing towards the Donets River to outflank Liman from the west. The 25th Army's goal was to advance not only towards Liman, but also towards Siversk. In addition, these two armies also have the same task, which is to nail the Ukrainian army in that direction to prevent the Ukrainian army headquarters from withdrawing troops from here and transferring them to other directions.

At present, the Russian army is carrying out these tasks on a departmental basis, and the 20th Army has broken through the Nitrian River from several places and is trying to combine these breakthroughs into one to form a larger bridgehead fortress to support its offensive on the Donetsk River.

In the nearby Westwick, according to Otas, the Russian army has invaded the city from the north, occupying the first residential districts along the Donetsk Street and Guerilla Street in the northernmost part of the city. From the map, the small community is half-separated from the main district of Westwick, with a street and two roads linked to the main district, which will be beneficial for the Russian to transform it into an offensive bridge head fortress, in order to consolidate the position, the Russian army has also digged defensive works in the outskirts of the city. In addition, the Russian army has also attacked the eastern suburbs of the city, and is competing for the last outskirts of the eastern suburbs, this defensive line is due to the battle fence and
