The Armed Forces of Ukraine successfully repelled enemy offensives in the Bakhmut and Avdiiv directions

The enemy continues to focus its efforts on establishing full control over the territory of the Donetsk region , maintaining the captured districts of Kherson, parts of the Kharkiv, Zaporizhzhya and Mykolaiv regions, and, as well as creating favorable conditions for resuming the offensive, searches for weak points in our defense, tries to improve the tactical position on individual directions

This was announced on Facebook by the General Staff of the Armed Forces of Ukraine.

There is still a threat of massive air and missile strikes on military and critical infrastructure facilities throughout Ukraine. In the waters of the Black Sea, the carriers of the KRMB "Kalibr" are in readiness for the use of missile weapons.

Over the past 24 hours, the enemy has launched 25 missile strikes and more than 22 airstrikes against military and civilian objects on the territory of Ukraine. In particular, civil infrastructure was affected in the areas of Kharkiv, Dmytrivka, Kostyantynivka, Zelenopillia, Zaitseve, Kodema, Soledar, Mykolaiv, Voznesensk, Ochakiv, Sukhy Stavok and Bezimenne.

In the Volyn and Poliske directions , the situation remains without significant changes. The threat of missile and air strikes from the airspace and territory of the Republic of Belarus remains.

In other directions, the enemy fired at military and civilian infrastructure from tanks, combat vehicles, mortars, barrel and rocket artillery, namely:

in the Siversk direction , the enemy shelled the civilian and military infrastructure of more than 10 settlements. Gasychivka, Yanzhulivka, Mykolaivka, Mykhalchyna Sloboda of Chernihiv region and Novovasylivka, Nova Huta, Seredyna-Buda, Bachivsk, Yastrubyne and Smolyne of Sumy region were most affected by fire;

in the Kharkiv direction , the enemy inflicted damage in the areas of Dementiyivka, Nove, Odnorobivka, Borshchova, Sosnivka, Udy, Ruski Tyshki, Pytomnyk, Ruska Lozova, Slobozhanske, Momotove, Petrivka, Bayrak, Husarivka, Chepil, and Mospanov. The UAV was used to adjust the artillery fire;

in the Slavic direction , the settlements of Krasnopillya, Dibrivne, Virnopillya and Bogorodichne were shelled by the occupiers. The enemy launched an airstrike on the settlement of Dmytrivka;

in the Kramatorsk direction , the enemy launched shelling in the areas of Piskunivka, Donetsk, Kryva Luka, Siversk, and Spirny;

in the direction of Bakhmut, the enemy shelled the areas of the settlements of Bilogorivka, Vesele, Zaytseve, Kodema, Mayorsk, Bakhmutske, Soledar, Bakhmut and Mykolaivka. In addition, he launched an airstrike near Kostyantynivka, Zelenopillya, Zaytsevo, Kodema, and Soledar;

in the Avdiiv direction , the settlements of Krasnohorivka, Maryinka, Avdiivka and Vodyane were shelled by mortars and barrel artillery;
in the Novopavlivskyi direction , the enemy did not conduct active offensive operations, but at the same time shelled the areas of Novomykhailivka, Paraskoviivka, Kermenchyk and Vremivka settlements;

in the Zaporizhzhya direction, the enemy shelled the regions of Novopol and Novosilka;

in the South Buz region, the enemy is conducting defensive operations, shelling the areas of Myrne, Stepova Dolyna, Oleksandrivka, Tavriyske, Partyzanske, Olhyne, Kiselyvka, Kobzartsi, Bila Krynytsia, Andriivka, Novovoskresenske, Myronivka, Lyubimivka, Petrivka. The areas of Berezneguvaty, Bezymenny, Veliky Artakovo, Sukhoi Stavka, and Bila Krynytsia were hit by enemy airstrikes. To adjust the fire, the occupiers used unmanned aerial vehicles.

After intensive shelling by the Defense Forces of enemy concentration areas in the Kherson region , the Russian invaders imposed a ban on the movement of local residents. In particular, people are prohibited from crossing the Dnipro River both by bridges and by watercraft. In case of violation of the ban, the occupiers threaten to open fire on the damage.

Forced mobilization continues in the temporarily occupied territories of Ukraine. In Donetsk, the Russian invaders found a "new source" of replenishment of losses in manpower. So, recently, representatives of the Russian occupation army began to arrive at local hospitals in the city and forcefully "discharge" patients. Men of military age with various diseases or injuries, including those wounded during hostilities who are undergoing treatment, fall under such an extract.

Once again, servicemen of the 2nd Army Corps note the discrimination of their status in comparison with the Russian military. The personnel of the units of the said army corps do not receive certain declared allowances, unlike the Russian military in other military units. In addition, there is no quality medical care. All this significantly affects the deterioration of the moral and psychological state of the personnel.

The defense forces continue to conduct a defensive operation, maintain the defined boundaries and prevent the enemy from advancing on the territory of Ukraine.

Units of our troops successfully repelled the enemy's offensive in the areas of the settlements of Bakhmutske, Vesela Dolyna, Zaitseve, Kodema and Soledar in the Bakhmut direction , as well as in the areas of the settlements of Pervomaiske, Vodyane and Nevelske in the Avdiiv direction .

The Air Force Group of the Armed Forces of Ukraine continues to repulse missile and air strikes and air attacks of the enemy, effectively covering critical objects of Ukraine.

During the day, in order to support the actions of the ground groups, the aviation of the Defense Forces carried out more than 30 strikes aimed at hitting personnel, combat and special equipment, as well as military facilities.

Missile troops and artillery of ground troops continue to perform tasks of counter-battery combat, disruption of the control system, logistical support, destruction of air defense means, fire means and enemy manpower. Over the past 24 hours, missile strikes and fire damage have been carried out at control points of various levels, warehouses with strategic level ammunition, areas of concentration of military equipment and personnel, areas of concentration and firing positions of artillery units, as well as other important targets.

As a result of effective fire damage in areas where the enemy is concentrated near the settlements of Semenivka and Kupyansk of the Kharkiv region, the Russian occupiers suffered losses. One of the field warehouses with ammunition, enemy manpower, and military equipment was destroyed. Losses are being verified.

It will be recalled that the Russian occupiers settled in the premises of the school in the village of Orlyanske, Zaporizhzhia region , and are using local schoolchildren as "human shields".

Armed Forces are advancing in the west of Kherson Oblast and near Siverskyi Donets in Donetsk Oblast, ISW

The armed forces of Ukraine are advancing in several directions in the western part of the Kherson region and have secured the territory beyond the Siverskyi Donets river in the Donetsk region .

This was reported by the Institute for the Study of War (ISW).

"The Ukrainian counteroffensive is noticeably developing in the south and east," the report says.

Analysts at ISW suggested that the speed of the counter-offensive is likely to change dramatically on a day-to-day basis. Because the Armed Forces will try to deprive the Russian military of necessary supplies, undermine the command and control of the occupiers, and weaken the morale of the enemy.

"The Russians will counterattack from time to time and recapture some of the lost positions and will probably carry out fierce artillery and air attacks on the liberated settlements and the advancing Ukrainian troops," ISW experts predict.

However, Ukrainian forces have made significant progress in eliciting more realistic commentary from Russian bloggers, who until today have largely heeded the Kremlin's upbeat rhetoric.

We will remind you that the Armed Forces successfully repelled the enemy's offensive in the Bakhmut and Avdiiv areas . The enemy continues to focus its efforts on establishing full control over the territory of Donetsk region, maintaining the captured districts of Kherson region, parts of Kharkiv region, Zaporozhye region, and Mykolaiv region, as well as creating favorable conditions for resuming the offensive, searching for weak points in our defense, trying to improve the tactical position in certain directions.

Yesterday, the Russians killed three civilians of the Donetsk region .

Pavlo Kyrylenko , the head of the Donetsk OVA , reported this in Telegram.

It is noted that two residents of Donetsk region were killed in Kurakhovo and one in Soledar. Three more people were injured.

Currently, it is impossible to establish the exact number of victims in Mariupol and Volnovas.

We will remind you that the enemy continues to focus its efforts on establishing full control over the territory of Donetsk region, holding the captured districts of Kherson, parts of Kharkiv, Zaporizhzhya, and Mykolaiv regions, as well as creating favorable conditions for resuming the offensive, searching for weak points in our defense, trying to improve the tactical position on separate directions.
