On Ukrainian soil, the Russian Federation continues to provide airstrikes and missile attacks on military and civilian targets.
The Republic of Belarus’s territory and airspace continue to pose a threat of air and missile strikes in the Volyn and Polissya directions in Ukraine.
The Russian army bombarded the areas of Tovstodubove, Vilne, and Shevchenko in the Sumy oblast in the Siversky direction to show their presence and impede the movements of the Ukrainian Defense Forces forces.
Russian occupiers attacked the villages of Kostiantynivka, Svitlichne, Kalynove, Dementiyivka, Borshcheva, Cherkaski Tyshky, Oleksandrivka, Shestakove, Verkhniy Saltiv, Bazaliyivka, Lebiazhe, and Pryshyb in the direction of Kharkiv using barrel and jet fire.
The Russian occupants made an attempt to attack Dementiyivka in Ukraine but were rebuffed and forced to flee.
With the help of MLRS and barrel artillery, the Russian Federation attempted to damage civil infrastructure in the vicinity of Nortsivka, Ridne, Dmytrivka, Mazanivka, Kurulka, Petrivske, and Cherkaske in the direction of Slovyansk in Ukraine. It made an aggressive effort in the direction of Brazhkivka, but failed, lost, and retreated.
Russian artillery fire struck the towns of Spirne, Siversk, and Tetianivka in the direction of Kramatorsk. The Russian army attacked close to Ivano-Daryivka using aircraft. The Russian occupants made an attack against Hryhorivka, but it was ineffective, so they withdrew.
Russian shelling was recorded in the vicinity of the Ukrainian Bakhmut, Soledar, Yakovlivka, and Kodema.
Russian soldiers attempted to use the fire of tanks, barrel and rocket artillery in the Avdiyivka direction to damage significant infrastructure facilities in Ukraine and cause losses to Ukrainian defence forces in the regions of Avdiyivka, New York (Donetsk region in Ukraine), Toretske, Krasnohorivka, and Novobakhmutivka. Russian invaders provided airstrikes near Mariyinka and Nevelske. They attempted to advance offensively in the direction of the towns of Nevelske and Oleksandropil, but failed and withdrew.
With the available means of fire damage, Russian invasion forces in the Novopavlivske direction began shelling the area around Pavlivka, Elizavetivka, Novomykhailivka, and Velyka Novosilka. They attacked the Volodymyrivka region using aircraft. When they failed in their offensive campaign toward Prechistivka and Pavlivka, they retreated.
The Russian army fired in the vicinity of Zaliznychne, Novoukrainske, Shevchenko, Preobrazhenka, Chervone, Yanvarske, Vremivka, Stepnohirsk, Novopil, and Novodanylivka in the direction of Zaporizhzhia. Ukrainian settlements in Olhivske, Novopil, Hulyaipilske, and Novodanylivka had parts of their territory struck by Russian airstrikes.
Russian invaders are still primarily concentrating their efforts in the area of South Buh on halting the advance of Ukrainian soldiers, using tanks, barrel artillery, and MLRS along the contact line. Russian airstrikes were conducted close to Velike Artakove, Pervomaiske, and Olhany.
There have been no notable changes in the Black and Azov Seas’ waters. In the western Black Sea, the Russian Federation’s naval force conducts reconnaissance and blocks commercial cargo.
It is reported that Russian occupying forces are losing more and more personnel. In this sense, the aggressors’ command is increasing the practice of delaying advanced unit rotations indefinitely.
