On the Kharkiv front, the Russians fired on the areas in and around 23 towns and villages using tank guns, as well as tube and rocket artillery; Russian aircraft conducted an airstrike near Prudianka.
The Russian forces used UAVs to conduct aerial reconnaissance near Petrivka, Fedorivka and Dementiivka and conducted electronic warfare operations in the areas around Ivanivka, Studenok, Vasylenkove and Hetmanivka.
On the Sloviansk front, the Russians shelled the areas in and around 20 towns and villages using artillery of various calibres.
The Russian occupying forces also shelled the areas around Zvanivka, Starodubivka, Spirne, Siversk, Verkhnokamianske, Pyskunivka and Hryhorivka on the Kramatorsk front.
Meanwhile, on the Bakhmut front, the Russian forces used tanks, as well as tube and rocket artillery, to fire on the areas in and around 15 towns and villages, including Bakhmut and Soledar.
Russian aircraft conducted airstrikes near Bakhmutske, Soledar, Berestove, Yakovlivka and Klynove.
The Russian forces conducted assault operations in the vicinity of Berestove and along the following axes: Volodymyrivka – Yakovlivka, Pokrovske – Bakhmut, Volodymyrivka – Soledar, Vidrodzhennia – Kodema, Vidrodzhennia – Zaitseve, Semyhiria – Kodema and Dolomitne – Semyhiria.
The General Staff reports that the Ukrainian Armed Forces have repelled each of these assaults, inflicted losses on Russian troops and forced them to retreat.
On the Avdiivka front, the Russian occupying forces deployed tanks and artillery to fire on the areas around Niu-York, Krasnohorivka, Avdiivka, Pisky, Netailove and Kamianka.
The Russians attempted to advance along the Novoselivka Druha – Krasnohorivka, Spartak – Avdiivka, Vasylivka – Krasnohorivka, Mineralne – Avdiivka, and Donetsk – Pisky axes, but were unsuccessful and have retreated.
Twenty-six towns and villages were shelled by Russian troops on the Novopavlivka and Zaporizhzhia fronts. In addition, Russian aircraft conducted airstrikes near Novosilka, Novopole and Poltavka.
The Ukrainian Armed Forces have thwarted the Russian forces’ attempts to advance on Marinka and Bilohirka.
On the Pivdennyi Buh front, the Russian occupying forces used tank guns and tube and rocket artillery to fire on 17 towns and villages, including the city of Mykolaiv.
The Russians conducted an airstrike near the Andriivka tract.
Russian assault groups were forced to retreat following an unsuccessful assault on Bilohirka.
Two Kalibr cruise missile carriers are on standby in the Black Sea.
The General Staff notes demoralisation among the Russian occupying forces caused by the powerful resistance put up by the Ukrainian people.
Moreover, it suggests that it has become increasingly difficult for the Russian command to replenish units that are suffering losses in the senseless war that it has unleashed.
At the same time, Russian propaganda continues to perpetuate claims of inexistent victories allegedly achieved by the Russian army and to cover up the war crimes committed by its soldiers and mercenaries fighting on the Russian side.
