Details: On the Siverskyi front, the aggressor is trying to strengthen counter-intelligence activities in the border areas of the Kursk region.
Mortars have been fired at areas around the settlements of Vovkivka, Volfyne and Pokrovka in the Sumy region.
On the Kharkiv front, the occupiers are focusing their main efforts on preventing the advance of Ukrainian troops.
Once again, Ukrainian soldiers have repelled an enemy assault around Dementiivka.
The aggressor is currently restocking supplies and trying to replenish the units that have suffered losses of personnel and military equipment.
The Russian occupiers have fired at the districts of Kharkiv and the region. A pair of Ka-52 helicopters were attacked near Verkhnii Saltiv and Petrivka.
On the Sloviansk front, the aggressor is causing fire damage from tubed artillery and MLRs fired at settlements. A Russian airstrike has been carried out near Mazanivka.
Ukrainian defenders have successfully repelled the aggressor’s assaults in the area around Ivanivka and Dolyna, and have driven the invaders back.
On the Kramatorsk front, the aggressor has fired artillery and mortars at local settlements. Air strikes were recorded near Spirny.
On the Bakhmut front, the occupiers fired from tubed and rocket artillery. An airstrike was carried out near Vershyn.
All attempts at an assault by Russian troops in the area around Vesela Dolyna, Yakovlivka and Vershyn were repelled by Ukrainian soldiers with well-aimed fire. The invaders, suffering losses, withdrew.
Reconnaissance in force by the occupiers has also failed in the Pokrovsky area.
On the Avdiivka, Kurakhove, Novopavlivka and Zaporizhzhia fronts, the enemy has continued firing from tubed and rocket artillery along the confrontation line, although with less intensity.
The Russians have also carried out airstrikes near Avdiivka, Kurakhove, Novopavlivka and Zaporizhzhia. The invaders have conducted aerial reconnaissance with UAVs near Novoprokopivka and Mala Tokmachka.
On the Pivdennyi Buh front, the aggressor's troops fired from tanks, and tubed and rocket artillery. They also conducted aerial reconnaissance with UAVs.
In the waters of the Black and Azov seas, the aggressor is holding 4 carriers of high-precision weapons in readiness to launch missile strikes on objects on the territory of Ukraine.
The General Staff notes that in some places, Russians losses are exceeding the recruitment figures – this is affecting general morale and their psychological state and the invaders are refusing to continue participating in the fighting against Ukraine.
Consequently, it is coming to the point that the Russian command is using physical violence against subordinates.
