Oleksandr Shtupun, spokesman of the General Staff of the Armed Forces of Ukraine Glory to Ukraine! The two hundred and twenty-fifth 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 efforts on attempts to disrupt the active actions of the Defense Forces in certain directions, does not stop conducting offensive actions in the Bakhmut and Avdiiv directions. The enemy is regrouping its units in separate directions.
The enemy fires at our positions along the contact line, carries out engineering defense equipment in separate directions and conducts aerial reconnaissance. Strikes civilian infrastructure and peaceful residential areas, violating international humanitarian law, laws and customs of war. There remains the threat of air and missile strikes on the entire territory of Ukraine. During this day, the occupiers launched 6 rocket and 7 air strikes, carried out more than 23 shellings from rocket-propelled grenades. Objects and civilian population of more than 25 settlements were damaged by enemy strikes. Among others, these are Zaporizhzhia, Shepetivka, Siversk, Bilogorivka, Olhivske and Hoptivka.
In the Volyn and Poliske directions, the situation remains without significant changes. The enemy fired in other directions: in the Seversky direction – from barrel artillery, in the areas of the settlements of Senkivka, Yasna Polyana and Bleshnya of the Chernihiv region and Seredyna Buda, Kiyanytsia and Fotovizh of the Sumy region; in the Slobozhansk direction – from tanks, mortars, barrel and rocket artillery, in the areas of the settlements of Uda, Strelcha, Neskuchne, Gatishche and Vilkhuvatka; in the Kramatorsk direction – from mortars, barrel and jet artillery, in the areas of the settlements of Spirne, Bilogorivka, Siversk and Verkhnokamianske;
in the Bakhmut direction – from artillery of various types, in the areas of Soledar, Bakhmut, Yakovlivka, Kurdyumivka, New York and Zaitseve settlements; in the Avdiivka direction – from tanks, mortars, barrel and jet artillery, in the areas of Avdiivka, Kamianka, Krasnohorivka, Pervomaiske, Paraskoviivka, Pisky and Novomykhailivka settlements; the enemy did not carry out offensive actions in the Novopavlivskyi and Zaporizhzhya directions. The infrastructure of more than twenty settlements was damaged by enemy shelling. In particular, Novoukrainka, Vremivka, Poltavka and Novopolya.
In the Southern Buz region, more than thirty settlements near the contact line were damaged by fire. Among them are Pravdyne, Myrne, Kiselyvka, Kobzartsi and Velike Artakove. Over the past day, units of the Defense Forces of Ukraine repelled enemy attacks in the areas of Soledar, Bakhmutske, Yakovlivka, Odradivka, Zaitseve, Bakhmut, Krasnohorivka, Pobyeda, Vodyane and Lyubomirivka settlements.
According to available information, the partial mobilization announced by the military-political leadership of the Russian Federation actually “absorbs” small settlements in remote regions of Russia. Conscription is carried out by the method of roundups, practically all male population of conscription age is forcibly taken to military commissariats. At the same time, in Moscow, the demobilization plan, which accounts for less than 0.2 percent of the population in districts, has not been fulfilled by half.
As before, the Russian invaders are using scorched earth tactics in Ukraine. Thus, during another chaotic retreat, the enemy blew up the dam, which caused the settlement of Raihorodok to flood. There is a mass destruction of archives and copies of documents, especially those containing the history of the occupation, in Kadiivka. In Svatovo, the main infrastructure facilities, buildings and territories have already been mined.
Aviation of the Defense Forces carried out 11 strikes during the day. The destruction of one stronghold, 5 areas of concentration of weapons and military equipment, as well as 5 anti-aircraft missile systems of the enemy was confirmed. In addition, our air defense units shot down 5 enemy UAVs, including two Shahed-136 and one Mohajer-6. Missile troops and artillery during the current day hit 19 areas of concentration of manpower, weapons and military equipment, 2 ammunition depots and 6 artillery means. We work for victory! We believe in the Armed Forces! Glory to Ukraine!
