Details: According to Ukrainian forces, a Russian troop operating in certain areas of Konotop and Okhtyrka lost up to 50% of its personnel. To continue to advance, they must regroup and replenish supplies.

In general, the moral and psychological state of the enemy remains extremely low and tends to deteriorate quickly. In some areas, Russian troops are throwing out their own documents and trying to return to Russia.

In the village of Myla in the Kyiv region, a unit of Kadyrov mercenaries is shelling civilians.

Quote: "The insidiousness of the occupiers is in the tactics of terror they use against civilians, in the shelling of humanitarian convoys organized by the Ukrainian authorities, in propaganda, and in their attempts to legalise their authority in some regions."

Russian forces plan to intensify airstrikes and increase missible and bomb shelling on the major cities of Ukraine and its industrial infrastructure. To fulfil this goal, military aircraft of the Central and Eastern Military Districts are being transferred to the territory of the Republic of Belarus."

Details: "The Defence Forces continue to conduct a defence operation within the Southern, Eastern and Northern Operational Zones, and the Joint Forces are operating in the eastern part of the Donetsk Operational District. The protection of important areas and routes continues, as does the defence of Kyiv.

In other territories close to the combat zone, a stabilisation operation is being carried out, and territorial defence tasks are being carried out– in particular along the state border of Ukraine.

The Air Force of the Armed Forces of Ukraine repels concentrated missile and air strikes and air attacks of the enemy, and performs air cover for important (critical) objects of Ukraine and groups of troops."
