The Russian Federation is still concentrating its efforts on retaining the invaded regions of Ukraine, making an effort to completely occupy the Donetsk oblast, and interfering with the Ukrainian Forces’ defence activities in some places.
Russia is breaking the rules of international humanitarian law, as well as the laws and practices of war, by conducting illegal aerial reconnaissance, attacking civilian infrastructure, and seeking to regain lost positions in particular ways.
The possibility of Russian airstrikes and missile attacks on the entire area of Ukraine still exists. As a result, the Russian army launched two missiles, made four air attacks, and fired more than seven anti-aircraft missile shellings today. In the vicinity of the Bilenke hamlet in the Odesa oblast, Russian soldiers also employed strike unmanned aerial vehicles.
The Russian attacks damaged twelve Ukrainian villages. Zaporizhzhia, Marhanets, Musiyivka, Nikopol, Potemkine, Osokorivka, Mykolaiv, and Ochakiv in particular.

- Zelene Pole, Novosilka, Uspenivka, Novopil, Olhivske, Huliaypole, Zaliznychne, Chervone, Huliaypilske and Novoandriyivka in Zaporizhia region;

In the parts of Ukraine that are now occupied and temporarily occupied, so-called “referendums” are still being held by Russia.
Russian army is stepping up its countersabotage and screening efforts. The personal cell phones of locals are carefully examined for signs of collaboration with the Ukrainian defense forces.
Soldiers from Ukraine withstood Russian attacks throughout the day in the communities of Spirne, Soledar, Pidhorodne, Bakhmut, Maiorsk, Kamyanka, Pobieda, and Pavlivka.
About twenty attacks were conducted by the Ukrainian Defense Forces’ aviation. It was established that five anti-aircraft missile system sites, thirteen Russian military equipment and manpower concentration points, and the location of armored vehicles had all been struck. Defining Russian losses is being done.
