Quote: "The Russians continue to attack the liberated settlements, turning them to ashes. Yes, yesterday they opened fire on Stelmakhivka on the Kupiansk front, Hrekivka, Nadiia, Bilohorivka and Novoiehorivka on the Lyman front."

Details: According to Haidai, on the Bakhmut front, the Russian forces inflicted fire from tanks and artillery along the entire line of contact.

Aircraft from the Ukrainian defence forces carried out 24 strikes during the previous day. It was confirmed that 16 areas of concentration of weapons and military equipment, a strong point, as well as 8 positions of the invaders' anti-aircraft missile systems were hit. In addition, air defence units shot down 5 cruise missiles and a Su-25 aircraft.

Soldiers from Ukraine’s Rocket Forces and Artillery hit 4 control points, 5 areas of concentration of manpower, weapons and military equipment, 2 air defence facilities and 1 artillery, 2 ammunition storage points, an electronic warfare station, as well as other military targets of the Russian army.

Quote: "There is also information that in the Russian Federation, there are significant problems with payments to military personnel who take part in hostilities on the territory of Ukraine, and families of the dead cannot receive the promised compensation.

The replenishment of the Wagner private military company (PMC) is not so high-quality. What was once a military elite is no longer so elite, with more than half consisting of convicts."
