The official operational information by the General Staff of the Armed Forces of Ukraine for the 187th day of the Russia-Ukraine War (29.08.2022).

The directions in Volyn, Polissya, and Siversky in Ukraine have not seen any significant changes. On the last day, the Russian army shelled regions around the communities of Bilopillia, Hay, Katerynivka, Myropillia, and Vodolaga in the Sumy oblast with barrel artillery. Russia was using unmanned aerial vehicles to conduct illegal aerial surveillance in Ukraine.

Russian invaders used tanks, combat vehicles, and rocket artillery to shell areas close to Peremoha, Svitlychne, Husarivka, Borshchova, Zalyman, Slatyne, Nove, Ivanivka, Ruska Lozova, and Sosnivka in the Kharkiv direction and made the air attack near Nove.

Russian tank, barrel artillery, and MLRS firing were observed in the vicinity of Ukrainian urban areas of Kurulka, Brazhkivka, Bohorodychne, Krasnopillia, and Adamivka in the Sloviansk direction. Unmanned aerial vehicles for illegal reconnaissance in this part of Ukrainian territory were used by the Russian Federation. In the vicinity of the settlement of Dolyna, it attempted to conduct a futile reconnaissance by fighting, incurred casualties and retreated. Russian soldiers attempted unsuccessful attacks near Bohorodychne to strengthen their tactical position.

Russian shelling from existing artillery systems was heard at Hryhorivka, Siversk, and Ivano-Daryivka in the Kramatorsk direction, Ukraine. The region around Hryhorivka was also attacked by Russian occupants using aircraft.

Russian troops bombarded the military and civilian infrastructure in Ukraine close to Bakhmut, Shumy, Yakovlivka, Zaitseve, and Kodema while moving in the direction of Bakhmut. In Yakovlivka and Kodema, Russian airstrikes were conducted. Russia provides ongoing illegal aerial surveillance using drones in the designated area.

The regions of Avdiyivka, Vodyane, Vesele, Maryinka, Oleksandropil and Tonenke were impacted by the Russian fire, while Russia’s efforts to conduct offensive operations close to Kodema and Zaitsevo were thwarted by Ukrainian forces. Russian troops engaged in offensive combat in the Pervomaiske region in an effort to strengthen their tactical position but failed.

Russian tanks, barrel artillery, and MLRS pounded Ukrainian soldiers’ positions in the vicinity of Pavlivka, Volodymyrivka, Konstyantynivka, and Novoukrainka in the direction of Novopavlivka. The Russian army attacked the Volodymyrivka region with planes.

The Russian occupying forces shelled the area in the Zaporizhzhia region near the communities of Dorozhnianka, Shevchenko, Poltavka, Bilohirya, and Novopil using barrel, rocket, and tank artillery. In the vicinity of Novopole and Novosilka, airstrikes were conducted by Russia.

Russian invaders are concentrating their efforts to halt Ukrainian forces’ progress in the direction of South Buh. They take steps to make up for losses.

The infrastructure in the Ukrainian towns of Oleksandrivka, Prybuzke, Novohryhorivka, Pervomaiske, Kvitneve, Kobzartsi, Yakovlivka, Potemkine, Trudolyubivka, Dobryanka, Tavriyske, Shevchenkove, Lyubomyrivka, and Bereznehuvate was shelled by the Russian Federation from available artillery systems and tanks. To execute the strikes, it employed aircraft close to Novohryhorivka and Andriyivka. The Russian occupants were using their UAVs for illegal reconnaissance.

The Russian Federation’s naval group in the Black and Azov Seas on the Ukrainian territory concentrates its primary efforts on performing illigal reconnaissance and obstructing civilian transport in the Black Sea’s northwest.

Ukrainian defenders are firmly on the defence and prepared for any adjustments to the operating environment. Weapons storage facilities and other Russian command locations are still being destroyed.
