3. Mariupol. The ring around the city is gradually shrinking. The city itself is physically completely blocked. The Nazis are blocking the exit of the population from the city. The deputy commander of Azov reports that the situation is critical and Mariupol is the last obstacle to the creation of a land bridge to the Crimea. He asks for the deblockade of the city.
4. Nikolaev. Fight for the city. Fighting south of the city. An incomprehensible situation with the Kulbakino airfield: it was first stated that the RF Armed Forces had taken it, and then the Armed Forces of Ukraine were able to recapture it. From the places they write that it was generally empty. The flagship of the Ukrainian Navy "Hetman Sahaydachny" was flooded by the team on the first day of the operation.
5. Energodar and ZNPP. Control is finally established. Fighting continues at Vasilievka. The Pologi are occupied, which opens up the possibility of a strike on Gulyaipole.
6. Raisins. Serious fights. The troops are approaching Slavyansk and the Izyum-Slavyansk highway. Krasny Liman and Yampol are not far away.
7. Severodonetsk. Fighting near the city, the city itself has not yet entered. The prospects for the formation of the Severodonetsk pocket are growing. Most of the territory of the LPR has already been liberated. It remains to weld in the boiler the last large grouping of the Armed Forces of Ukraine in the LPR.

9. Volnovakha. The cleanup, according to Pushilin, will take several days. The enemy suffered heavy losses in men and equipment in the Volnovakha area.
10. Transnistria. The Armed Forces of Ukraine blew up a bridge on the border with the republic in order to impede the hypothetical participation of a group of Russian troops in the PMR in the operation to liberate Odessa.

Putin again confirmed today that the operation will continue until the Russian Federation achieves all its goals. There will be no concessions.
