Mariupol is even closer to falling, the defence is about to collapse so it might be a matter of days now. Russian VDV managed to cross the Ipin and establish a foothold on the other side, this will be useful to them for further operations towards Kiev. Some more territory was taken in the Donbas but that is usual, however the Ukrainians are now starting to send troops from the Donbas to Kiev and other fronts, they probably realise that their forces in the Donbas might be cut off soon. The Ukrainians announced counter attacks in numerous locations, they did not achieve anything.

The Russians reorganised forces, they are also moving forces in from other areas and even from Georgia. The Ukrainians are continuing to raise forces and receive NATO arms, it's pretty certain that they outnumber the Russians, they probably did before as the Russians had 190,000 troops in the area and the Ukrainians had 150,000-170,000 professional troops but they also have reserves and 900,000 paramilitaries, plus whatever has been called up since the war began. However, the while the Ukrainians are receiving hand held equipment from NATO they are not receiving any armour, APCs or IFVs so far, so while the masses of Ukrainians will be able to fight defensively in urban areas quite well they are going to lack the ability to go on the offensive effectively(unless they want to accept huge losses).
