The Russian Federation continues to violate the laws and customs of war, so the probability of missile and air strikes remains high across Ukraine.
Despite heavy casualties and significant losses of equipment, the Russian Federation doesn’t give up its aggressive plans towards Ukraine. It focuses main efforts on offensive actions on Lyman, Bakhmut, Avdiivka and Marinka directions – more than 20x Russian attacks were repelled during the day.
