Details: The main efforts of the Russians’ air grouping are focused on supporting units in the eastern operational zone: on the Slobozhansky and Donetsk fronts and around the Azovstal plant.

Artillery is being used along almost the entire line of contact. There is still a high probability of missile strikes throughout Ukraine.

The enemy has not been active on the Volyn and Polissia fronts. There are no signs that offensive groups are being formed. Some units of the Belarusian Armed Forces are covering the border areas in the Brest and Gomel regions.

On the Siversk front, Russian forces continue intensive guarding of the border in the Bryansk and Kursk regions. The invader fired multiple rocket launchers at the border settlements of Velyka Pysarivka, Bilopillia, Krasnopillia and Yunakivka in the Sumy region.

Russian forces are expected to maintain their demonstrative actions along the state border to restrain the Ukrainian Armed Forces and prevent them from regrouping in other areas.

On the Slobozhansky front, the invaders are maintaining certain air defence forces in the Belgorod region in full readiness for deployment. They continue to focus their efforts on defending their lines to prevent the advance of our troops towards the state border. They are conducting aerial reconnaissance.

On the Izyum front, the invaders have been replenishing ammunition, fuel and equipment.

Russian forces are continuing preparations for an offensive on the Lyman and Sievierodonetsk fronts.

Fighting continues for the settlements of Voievodivka, Toshkivka and Nizhnie in the Sievierodonetsk district of the Luhansk Region, as well as for Kamianka in the Yasynuvata district of the Donetsk region.

In Mariupol, Russian artillery and air strikes continue to destroy the infrastructure of the Azovstal plant. Combat operations are ongoing.

The invaders did not conduct active combat operations on the South Bug front. They shelled our troops. They are preparing to resume an assault to improve their tactical position.

Russian naval groups continue to seal off areas of combat operations. They are conducting reconnaissance, launching missile attacks, supporting units in the Prymorsk area and blocking civilian shipping.

Fifteen attacks by Russian forces have successfully been countered in the Donetsk and Luhansk regions over the last 24 hours. One anti-aircraft missile system, nine tanks, three artillery systems, 25 pieces of armoured combat equipment, three pieces of special engineering equipment and three vehicles belonging to the invaders have been destroyed.
