The courageous resistance of the Ukrainian people to a Russian military invasion is still going strong on the 196th day.
Russia is still concentrating its efforts on taking complete control of the Donetsk oblast while holding onto the districts of Kherson that were conquered together with a part of Kharkiv, Zaporizhzhia, and Mykolayiv oblasts in Ukraine.
Russian drones continuously conduct illegal aerial surveillance and make improvements to the troop’s logistical support.

All standards of international humanitarian law continue to be broken by the Russian occupying forces.

There have been more instances of military equipment and weapons being left by Russians in Ukrainian school courtyards.
Russian troops are still losing soldiers. Just yesterday, the Russian invasion forces lost roughly 70 persons due to fire damage in the Kherson region, close to Hola Prystan; more than half of them were killed. 2 Russian self-propelled “Akatsiya” artillery systems were destroyed, 2 more were damaged, and the loss of manpower is being investigated close to the town of Tavriysk.
Additionally, it was discovered that one of Russia’s artillery divisions moving in the direction of Ukrainian Kherson had lost up to sixty pct. of its people and apparatus and was therefore deemed incapable of fighting. Russian forces are deficient in ammunition and gasoline as a result of logistical issues.

Ukrainian land grouping’s missile soldiers and artillery are still engaged in counterbattery action, disruption of Russia’s command structure and logistical support, and fire damage to its combatants and equipment.
