Oleksandr Shtupun, spokesman of the General Staff of the Armed Forces of Ukraine Glory to Ukraine! The two hundred and eighth day of the heroic resistance of the Ukrainian nation to the large-scale Russian invasion has begun. The enemy continues to focus its efforts on attempts to fully occupy the Donetsk region, organize defense and hold the captured territories, as well as disrupt the active actions of the Defense Forces in certain areas. He fires at the positions of our troops along the contact line, carries out measures to regroup his units in separate directions, introduces reserves and does not stop conducting aerial reconnaissance.
The enemy continues to shell the houses of civilians and civilian infrastructure objects, violating the norms of International Humanitarian Law, the laws and customs of war. Over the past day, the enemy launched 3 missile and 22 air strikes, carried out more than 90 attacks from rocket salvo systems on objects on the territory of Ukraine. Since the beginning of this day, the enemy has carried out three more missile strikes. The infrastructure of more than 30 settlements was damaged. These are, in particular, Mykolaiv, Zaporizhzhia, Soledar, Biloghirya, Novopil, Pershotravneve, Temyrivka, Sukhy Stavok, Myrolyubivka, Petrivka, Berezneguvate, Bilogorivka, Spirne, Krasnohorivka, Stepove and Olgivske.
There remains the threat of air and missile strikes throughout the territory of Ukraine. The situation in the Volyn and Poliske directions has not changed significantly. In other directions, the enemy fired from tanks, mortars and artillery, namely: in the Slobozhansk direction – in the areas of the settlements of Hoptivka, Guryiv Kozachok, Kamianka and Kupyansk; in the Kramatorsk direction – Sviatohirsk, Raihorodok, Serebryanka and Bilogorivka; in the Bakhmut direction – Siversk, Rozdolivka, Soledar, Bakhmutske, Bakhmut, Vesela Dolyna, New York, Yuryivka, Rozivka and Zaitseve;
in the Avdiiv region – Avdiivka, Opytne, Karlivka, Kostyantynivka, Maryinka and Pervomaiske; on the Novopavlovsk and Zaporizhzhia directions – Vugledar, Velyka Novosilka, Mali Shcherbaki, Myrne, Vilne Pole and Vremivka. In the South Buzka direction, the enemy was shelling along the entire contact line. More than 18 settlements were affected by fire. Among them are Bila Krynytsia, Myrolyubivka, Visokopillya and Andriivka.
In connection with the significant shortage of both human and material resources, the Russian occupiers continue to resort to non-standard ways of replenishing them. For example, 400 people serving time for criminal offenses were sent from the Russian city of Tambov to strengthen units fighting in Ukraine. In the Krasnodar region, public organizations of “Afghan soldiers” received the task of collecting money from the local population for the purchase of warm clothes for the regional volunteer battalion. Over the past day, units of the Defense Forces have repelled enemy attacks in the areas of Mykolaivka Druga, Vesela Dolyna and Bakhmut settlements.
During the day, the aviation of the Defense Forces carried out 21 strikes – it was confirmed that 16 areas of concentration of enemy manpower and strongholds and 5 positions of anti-aircraft missile systems were hit. Over the past day, missile forces and artillery have fired at more than 14 enemy targets. In particular, for 6 control points, 3 support points and areas of concentration of personnel and military equipment. Objects of air defense, electronic warfare and 3 ammunition warehouses fell into the affected area. The total losses of the enemy are being clarified. We believe in the Armed Forces! Together we will win! Glory to Ukraine!
