“Egorov and his unit carried out a mission aimed at liberating a key settlement from Ukrainian militants. During ongoing clashes, Private Egorov personally evacuated six Russian soldiers under heavy enemy fire and delivered first aid on the move.” (According to the defense ministry report, via TASS.)
The Russian defense ministry added that Egorov then resumed his duties, continuing the mission and, in particular, disabling a firing point in Ukraine with a grenade launcher. (As reported by the Russian Ministry of Defense and cited by TASS.)
Earlier, President Vladimir Putin, during a Security Council meeting, stated that Ukrainian forces had attempted a large-scale assault, with more than 2,500 personnel, 35 tanks, and almost 40 armored vehicles, but that offensive did not succeed anywhere. (Bridge quotation from a presidential briefing reported by the state-backed press.)
In a separate report, three Ukrainian servicemen swam the Dnieper River and surrendered to Russian forces. (Noted in coverage accompanying the official statements.)
