The Russian Ministry of Defense announced the evacuation of the first "Abrams" tank from the strategic city of Avdiivka in the Donetsk Republic, sending it to the trophy exhibition of the military operation in Moscow. Alexander Savchuk, head of the press center for the "Center" forces, stated: "Our fighters succeeded in evacuating the tank, and soon it will be available to the public at the trophy exhibition of the Russian military operation in Moscow."

The Associated Press reported that sources in the Pentagon indicated that Ukraine had withdrawn "M1A1 Abrams" tanks from combat to protect them from Russian drones. The New York Times also mentioned that Ukraine has lost at least five "Abrams" tanks in the past two months due to Russian attacks.
