The one hundred ninety-fourth (194) day of the heroic resistance of the Ukrainian people to a Russian military invasion continues.
The enemy continues to focus its efforts on establishing full control over the territory of the Donetsk region, maintaining the temporarily captured districts of the Kherson region, part of the Kharkiv region, Zaporizhzhia region, and Mykolaiv region.
There is still a threat of massive air and missile strikes on military and civilian infrastructure throughout Ukraine.
In the waters of the Black Sea, the carriers of the enemy's Kalibr sea-based cruise missiles are still in readiness for use.
During the current day, the enemy carried out more than 40 attacks from MLRS and more than 25 airstrikes aimed at hitting military and civilian objects on the territory of Ukraine.
The enemy carried out airstrikes on the Zalyman areas of the Kharkiv region; Dmytrivka, Bogorodichne, Zaytseve, Kodema, Soledar, Yakovlivka, Krasnohorivka of the Donetsk region and Dorozhnyanka of the Zaporizhzhia region.
The situation in the Volyn and Poliske directions has not changed significantly.
In the Siverskyi direction, border areas of settlements of Chernihiv and Sumy region were shelled.
In other directions, the enemy, using available means of fire damage, continued shelling military and civilian infrastructure, namely:

- According to available information, the command of the military units of the 1st army corps of the russian occupying forces is taking measures to forcibly transfer the personnel of conscript service to a contract, which makes it impossible for them to be released from military service within three years. In addition, one-time payments for signing such contracts do not apply to this category, which significantly reduces the morale and psychological state of personnel.
The enemy continues to commit illegal actions in the Kherson region. Thus, the Russian occupiers turned off the Kakhovskaya HPP, which caused the blackout of part of the Kherson and Zaporizhzhia regions.
The defense forces continue to conduct a defensive operation, maintain the defined boundaries and prevent the invaders from advancing deep into the territory of Ukraine.
Our defenders successfully repelled enemy offensive attempts in the areas of the settlements of Bilohorivka, Hryhorivka, Pokrovske, Bakhmutske, Lozove, Spartak, Soledar, Zaitseve and Semihirya, and in the Kramatorsk direction they had tactical success and knocked the enemy out of the positions he had previously occupied.
The Air Force Group of the Armed Forces of Ukraine repels enemy missile and air strikes, and effectively covers critical objects on the territory of Ukraine.
During the current day, in order to support the actions of the lsnd groups, the aviation of the Defense Forces carried out more than 15 strikes aimed at destroying the manpower, combat and special equipment, as well as other military objects of the enemy.
Missile troops and artillery of the Defense Forces continue fire support for the actions of land groups of troops.
According to updated data, enemy losses have been confirmed. As a result of a successful fire attack in the area of ​​the Kupyansk settlement of the Kharkiv region, the occupiers lost more than 100 servicemen killed and wounded; two combat vehicles were destroyed. In the city of Kherson, more than 30 servicemen and 3 enemy tanks were hit; and an anti-aircraft missile complex and six enemy trucks were destroyed in the area of ​​the Antonovsky bridge and crossing.
The successful actions of the Defense Forces led to the disabling of crossings in the Kherson area and once again nullified the aggressor's attempts to resume the transfer of troops across the Dniepr River.
We believe in the Armed Forces of Ukraine!
Glory to Ukraine!
