The threat of air strikes and missile attacks on critical infrastructure facilities remains throughout Ukraine.

On the Volyn, Polissia, Sivershchyna and Slobozhanshchyna fronts, the situation remains without significant changes; there have been no signs of offensive units being formed. The occupiers are planning to open a field hospital on the territory of Belarus.
