The moral and psychological condition of the occupiers remains low, there is a systematic use of alcohol and desertion. The personnel of the enemy's units complain about the ineffectiveness of their attacks on the position of the Defense Forces of Ukraine in the Huliaipole area.

We believe in the Armed Forces of Ukraine!
