The heroic resistance of the citizens of Ukraine against a Russian military invasion continues on the 144th day.

The Russian army is trying to hold onto the occupied lines in the Kharkiv direction. The areas around the settlements of Petrivka, Prudianka, Protopopivka, Ruski Tyshki, Chuhuiv, Mospanove, Udy, Vesele, and Pytomny were shelled by Russians.

Russian units used mortars, barrel, and jet artillery to attack the Sloviansk area of Dolyna, Ivanivka, Mazanivka, Kurulka, Kostiantynivka, Virnopillia, Husarivka and Dibrovne. They also attacked the Bohorodychne, Velyka Komyshuvakha and other areas. Russian soldiers are using radio-electronic warfare to disrupt the Ukrainian Defense Forces’ control system and prevent aerial reconnaissance. Ukrainian troops quickly stopped Russian attacks near Hryhorivka. With heavy losses, the occupiers withdrew.

The Russian army attacked Ukrainian troops from Bakhmut with mortars, barrels and rocket artillery. It targeted the areas near Berestove and Vesele and conducted air and missile strikes in the areas of Novoluhanske, Pokrovske and Kostiantynivka.

The enemy is trying to stop our troops’ logistical support by systematic shelling in the South Buh direction. In the area of settlements of Bila Krynytsia, Berezneguvate, Ternivka and Vesely Kut, the enemy is trying to disrupt the logistical support of our troops with systematic shelling.
