Quote: "The situation at the frontline hasn’t changed significantly. With the help of tactical movements, the Ukrainian army is strengthening its defence in Luhansk Oblast. It is really the toughest place there now. The occupiers are pushing forward massively, both on the Donetsk and Kharkiv frontlines. 

Brutal and cynic artillery shelling by the Russians will do nothing for the occupiers, but the Russian army is deaf to any rationality: it only destroys and kills, thereby demonstrating to its command that it is apparently not standing still. 

In the south, we are defending our Mykolaiv Oblast and our Zaporizhzhia, and gradually retaking Kherson Oblast."
