415 day of the russian large-scale invasion has begun.

The russian Federation continues waging a war of aggression. It continues to ignore International Humanitarian Law, strikes and fires not only at the positions of our troops, but also at the civilian infrastructure of populated areas.

Over the past day, the enemy carried out 19 airstrikes, launched 39 attacks from rocket salvo systems, and there are casualties among the civilian population.

The probability of launching missile and air strikes on the entire territory of Ukraine remains quite high.
The enemy does not give up his plans to occupy our territory, despite significant losses.

It continues to focus its main efforts on conducting offensive actions in the Lyman, Bakhmut, Avdyivka, and Maryinka areas. The fiercest battles continue for Bakhmut and Maryinka. During the past day, thanks to the coordinated actions of the units of the Armed Forces of Ukraine and the heroism of our soldiers, 49 enemy attacks were repelled.

On the Volyn, Polis, Siversk, and Slobozhan directions, the operational situation has not changed significantly, and no signs of the formation of enemy offensive groups have been detected. Some units of the territorial troops of the armed forces of the russian Federation continue to be on the territory of the Republic of Belarus.

The enemy’s military presence is maintained in the Kursk and Belgorod regions bordering Ukraine.

The russian Federation continues to impose so-called “passportization” on citizens of Ukraine. In some localities of the Kahovsky district of the Kherson Oblast, the russian occupiers force people to re-register vehicles according to russian regulations, for which the owners need to have russian passports.

Activities to speed up the issuance of russian passports in the temporarily occupied territories of the Donetsk region were especially intensified. It is known that the departments of the migration service of the russian Federation work without days off. Civil servants and servicemen of the First Army Corps have priority.

In the past day, the aviation of the Defense Forces made 3 strikes on the areas of concentration of personnel and military equipment of the occupiers.

Units of missile forces and artillery hit 3 control points, 3 areas of concentration of enemy manpower, weapons and military equipment, an ammunition depot, as well as a radar station and a radio electronic warfare station.
