Quote from Haidai: "The Ukrainian Defence Forces are inflicting losses on the enemy on all fronts where active combat operations are taking place. Meanwhile, Western-supplied artillery helps to keep the Russians beyond the frontlines on their toes.

In the recent weeks, we have struck several ammunition depots and concentrations of the invading troops in Luhansk Oblast alone. There have also been a lot of successful strikes [on the Russian forces - ed.] in Donetsk Oblast, which prevents the enemy from launching more concerted attacks. Moreover, every night instead of sleeping they are waiting to be attacked.

For example, yesterday the premises where the Russian military were stationed were destroyed  in Kadiivka [formerly Stakhanov – ed.]. Losses [among the Russian forces - ed.] are being confirmed.

Near Lysychansk, our gunners covered with fire those Russian invaders who had just arrived for their tour of duty. A Sakhalin-based OMON detachment, which arrived in Ukraine to take part in the war on the orders of the Kremlin, was struck. At least 12 enemy special forces personnel were destroyed. Many Russians were also injured."

Details: Despite the successes of the Ukrainian Armed Forces, Russian occupying forces continue to deploy assault and army aircraft and to use rockets and artillery to terrorise the local civilian population.

In particular, the Russians carried out four missile strikes and one airstrike on 23 July.

Russian forces have also ramped up their operations in the area around Verkhnokamianske, but the Armed Forces of Ukraine forced the Russians to retreat with losses.

In other towns and villages, the Russians conducted non-targeted, but extensive artillery and mortar attacks.
