Verbatim: "Ukrainian soldiers of the Joint Forces sent 40 Russian invaders to hell, destroyed 8 aggressor’s BMPs, 1 MT-LB (a Soviet multi-purpose fully amphibious auxiliary armoured tracked vehicle - ed.), an ‘Ural’ (general purpose off-road 6×6 vehicle - ed.), an SUV, and a large number of artillery systems (the number is being specified)."

Details: The aggressor made numerous attempts to break through our defences in most areas. The aggressor actively used artillery for this purpose.

However, all Russian attacks were repulsed, and our military responded effectively to artillery shelling. Those units that were shelling residential neighbourhoods of Ukrainian settlements got "special attention".

In addition,Ukrainian airborne assault units are holding the aggressor's troops from approaching the city near Severodonetsk.
