The Russian Federation does not care about the problems of the local population in the occupied territories, it is capable of any crimes and large-scale destruction. Thus, after Russian terrorists blew up the dam of the Kakhovskaya HPP, the residents of the village of Kozachi Lageri, who found themselves in the flooding zone, did not wait for help from the so-called occupying authorities and tried to leave the partially flooded settlement on their own. However, the Russian servicemen, being intoxicated, blocked all possible ways of leaving the city and prohibited evacuation.

At the same time, in the city of Gola Prystan, the occupiers drive the owners of two-story buildings out of their apartments and settle in them themselves. The invaders set up firing positions on the roofs of these buildings.

During the day, the aviation of the defense forces made 15 strikes on personnel concentration areas and 2 strikes on the enemy's anti-aircraft missile systems. Our defenders destroyed 4 enemy reconnaissance UAVs.

During the day, units of missile troops and artillery struck 4 control points, 1 area of ​​concentration of manpower, weapons and military equipment, 3 ammunition depots, 2 anti-aircraft missile systems and 1 enemy radar station.

We will remind you that Germany handed over another package of military aid to Ukraine, which, among other things, included Bandvagn 206 all-terrain vehicles.
