The 270th day of the Russia-Ukraine War: official operational information by the General Staff of the Armed Forces of Ukraine on 20.11.2022.
During the current day, units of the Defence Forces of Ukraine repelled the attacks of Russian troops in the areas of the settlements of Bilohorivka in the Luhansk region and Spirne, Yakovlivka, Bakhmutske, Bakhmut, Opytne and Klishchiivka in the Donetsk oblast.
During the current day, Russian soldiers launched 2 rocket attacks on the civilian infrastructure of the city of Kupyansk and carried out about 10 MLRS attacks on the positions of Ukraine troops along the contact line.
In the Volyn, Polissya and Siverskyi directions, the situation remains without significant changes, no signs of the formation of offensive groups have been detected.
The Republic of Belarus continues to support the armed aggression of the Russian Federation against Ukraine, providing it with infrastructure, territory and airspace. Airplanes of the Air and Space Forces of the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation fly almost daily in the airspace of the Republic of Belarus. The MiG-31K aircraft, which takes off from the Machulyshchi airfield, is the carrier of hypersonic missiles “Kynzhal”, capable of hitting objects throughout the territory of Ukraine. It is because of this that we are forced to announce an air alert so often in all regions of Ukraine.
