Oleksandr Shtupun, spokesman of the General Staff of the Armed Forces of Ukraine Glory to Ukraine! The two hundred and twenty-second day of the heroic resistance of the Ukrainian nation to the large-scale Russian invasion continues.
The enemy is trying to hold the temporarily captured territories, concentrates its efforts on attempts to disrupt the active actions of the Defense Forces in certain areas. The enemy is shelling the positions of our troops along the contact line, conducting aerial reconnaissance. Attacks civilian infrastructure and civilian homes, violating international humanitarian law, laws and customs of war. There remains the threat of air and missile strikes on the entire territory of Ukraine.
Over the course of a day, the occupiers launched 2 rocket and 7 air strikes, carried out more than 35 shellings from rocket-propelled grenades. More than 20 settlements were affected by enemy strikes. Among them are Dnipro, Zaporizhzhia, Bakhmut, Spirne, Maryinka, Soledar, Belogorivka, Blagodativka and Zaliznychne. The situation in the Volyn and Poliske directions has not changed significantly. In other directions, the enemy fired from tanks and artillery systems of various types:
in the Seversky direction – in the area of the settlement of Velika Pisarivka, Sumy region; in the Kramatorsk direction – in the areas of Bilogorivka, Druzhelyubivka, Dvorichna, Rozdolivka and Yampil settlements; in the Bakhmut direction – in the areas of Soledar, Bakhmutske, Bakhmut, Mayorsk and Vesele settlements; in the Avdiiv direction – Pervomaiske, Avdiivka, Krasnohorivka, Maryinka and Vodyane.
Areas of more than 30 settlements along the contact line were shelled by tanks, mortars, and barrel artillery in the Novopavlovsk and Zaporizhzhya directions. In particular, Vugledar, Mykilske, Vremivka, Gulyaipole, Gulyaipilske and Zaliznychne. In the South Buz direction, more than 25 settlements along the contact line were shelled.
According to the updated information, the fire damage of the enemy in the previous days has been confirmed. Thus, up to 20 units of military equipment were destroyed, and up to 8 enemy combat helicopters were seriously damaged in the Kyrylivka settlement of Donetsk region.
According to the available information, the Russian military-political leadership, in order to gain time for the preparation and conduct of combat coordination of the mobilized personnel, made an interesting decision. Losses of units that are directly on the line of contact are replenished at the expense of representatives of the so-called “force structures” operating in the temporarily occupied territory of the Donetsk region. Provision of the administrative and police regime in the temporarily occupied territory will rely on units of the Federal Security Service of the Russian Federation.
Over the past day, units of the Defense Forces of Ukraine repelled enemy attacks in the areas of Mayorsk, New York, Zaytseve, Nevelske and Pobyeda settlements. Aviation of the Defense Forces made 19 strikes. The defeat of two strongholds, fourteen places of concentration of weapons and military equipment, as well as three anti-aircraft missile systems of the enemy was confirmed. In addition, our air defense units shot down a Ka-52 helicopter and a Su-25 attack aircraft of the enemy.
During the day, the missile forces and artillery hit four control points, seventeen areas of concentration of manpower, weapons and military equipment, two warehouses with ammunition and material and technical means, two air defense facilities, as well as ten other important enemy facilities. We believe in the Armed Forces! Together we will win! Glory to Ukraine!
