The 415th day of the Russia-Ukraine War: official operational information by the General Staff of the Armed Forces of Ukraine on 14.04.2023.
The Russian Federation continues to ignore International Humanitarian Law, strikes and fires not only at the positions of Ukrainian troops but also at the civilian infrastructure of populated areas.
During the day, Russian troops launched 6x air strikes and 19x missile strikes, 13x of them – from the S-300 air defense system on the peaceful cities of Sloviansk and Kramatorsk. In addition, Russian troops launched about 20x rounds from MLRS.
The probability of launching missile and air strikes on the entire territory of Ukraine remains high, because the Russian army continues to use terror tactics against the civilian population.
The Russian army does not give up his plans to occupy Ukrainian territory, despite significant losses. The Russian army continues to focus its main efforts on conducting offensive actions on the Lyman, Bakhmut, Avdiivka, and Marinka directions. The fiercest battles continue for Bakhmut and Marinka. About 40x Russian attacks were repelled during the day.
