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

The russian Federation 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 russian forces launched 9 air strikes and 19 missile strikes, 13 of them from the S-300 air defense system against the peaceful cities of Slovyansk and Kramatorsk, and carried out 42 attacks from rocket salvo systems on the positions of our troops and the civilian infrastructure of populated areas. There are dead and injured civilians, high-rise and private residential buildings, as well as other civilian infrastructure, have been destroyed and damaged.


The probability of launching missile and air strikes on the entire territory of Ukraine remains high.
The enemy continues to focus its main efforts on conducting offensive actions in the Lyman, Bakhmut, Avdyivka and Maryinka directions. The fiercest battles continue for Bakhmut and Maryinka. During the past day, 56 enemy attacks were repelled.


On the Volyn, Polissya, Siversk, and Slobozhan directions, the operational situation has not changed significantly, and no signs of the formation of 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.

russian invaders continue to commit looting in the temporarily captured territory of Ukraine. In particular, in the Novokakhov district of the Kherson Oblast, cases of grease draining from electric transformers were noted, which, in turn, led to the blackout of individual streets of the district's settlements.


Over the past day, the Air Force of the Defense Forces has struck 5 areas of concentration of personnel and military equipment of the occupiers.


Units of missile forces and artillery hit 1 control point, 3 areas of concentration of enemy manpower, weapons and military equipment, as well as 1 enemy electronic warfare station.
