Oleksandr Shtupun, spokesman of the General Staff of the Armed Forces of Ukraine Glory to Ukraine! Two hundred and twenty-seven days of 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 counteroffensive actions of the Defense Forces in certain directions, at the same time, periodically conducts offensive actions in the Bakhmut and Avdiiv directions. The enemy fires at the positions of our troops along the contact line, carries out engineering equipment of defensive lines and positions in certain directions, and conducts aerial reconnaissance by UAVs.
The Russian occupiers, in violation of international humanitarian law, laws and customs of war, continue to strike critical infrastructure and civilian housing. There is a threat of the enemy launching air and missile strikes on the entire territory of Ukraine.

The situation in the Volyn and Poliske directions has not changed significantly. In the Republic of Belarus, military inspections have been extended until October 15. Also, once again, the closure of the airspace in the southern regions of this country was continued.
