Occupation forces are preparing to resume the offensive in the Slovyansk direction. During the day, russian enemy carried out artillery shelling in the areas of the settlements of Velyka Komyshuvakha and Dovhenke in the Kharkiv region.

The Command of the Occupying Troops of the russian federation continues to carry out covert mobilization measures in order to replace servicemen who have suffered casualties outside the territory of Ukraine. Work is underway to attract to the ranks of the armed forces of the aggressor's troops persons who are on temporarily occupied by russian occupiers territories of Ukraine. To strengthen the groups, russian enemy forms reserves from the 36th Combined Arms Army of the Eastern Military District and actively uses military transport aircraft to transfer manpower and logistics to the areas bordering Ukraine.

At the same time, russian occupation authorities are working on the so-called "nationalization" of telecommunications companies.

We believe in the Armed Forces of Ukraine! Together to victory!

Glory to Ukraine!
