Details: Measures to regroup the troops of the Russian Federation continue. The Russian Federation has not abandoned the aim to establish full control over the territory of the Donetsk and Luhansk regions.

They are trying to improve the position of units in the Tavriia and Pivdennyi Buh operational districts (the south part of Ukraine).

In the western military district of Russia, in order to recruit personnel for units that have suffered losses on the territory of Ukraine, covert mobilisation measures are being carried out. Additionally, the command of the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation is trying to replenish personnel losses by involving representatives of military schools.

Quote: "The Chita Suvorov Military School of the Ministry of Internal Affairs of Russia conducted a written survey among teaching staff and asked whether they are ready to take part in a ‘special operation’ outside Russia."

Even more importantly: In the Siverskyi direction (the north of Ukraine), Russian armed forces continue to move out military equipment from the territory of Belarus by rail and military transport aircraft.

Simultaneously, the movement of certain units of the Armed Forces of the Republic of Belarus in the direction of the state border of Ukraine was revealed. It is possible that this is a rotation of units performed to strengthen the protection of the state border of Belarus. 

The particular area of the Kharkiv region in the Slobozhanskyi direction continues to be blocked. In the settlements of Velykyi Burluk, Prykolotne and Fedorivka, Russian occupiers are searching for pro-Ukrainian residents to illegally detain them.

In the city of Izium, Russian occupiers are fabricating evidence on the alleged crimes of the Armed Forces of Ukraine. They are shelling the settlement and creating a kind of "documentation".

Russian occupying forces continue to attack Mariupol in the Donetsk direction, with the support of aircraft and artillery. 

Local residents are being detained in the city of Berdiansk, in the temporarily occupied territory of the Zaporizhzhia region. 

Medical staff at local health facilities in Tokmak are being forced to sign so-called "contracts" with the Russian Ministry of Health.
