Day 364 of the full-scale Russian invasion continues.

The Russian Federation continues its full-scale armed aggression against Ukraine. The invaders’ main efforts are focused on the offensive operations on Kupyansk, Lyman, Bakhmut, Avdiivka, and Shakhtarske axes. The number of enemy personnel is increasing.

On February 22, the adversary launched 9 missile strikes, 4 of them – on the city of Kharkiv, and 10 air strikes. The invaders launched more than 20 MLRS attacks. The threat of missile strikes across Ukraine remains high.

Volyn, Polissya, Siversk, and Slobozhansk axes: no significant changes. The adversary continues to maintain a military presence near the state border of Ukraine. However, no signs of the formation of enemy offensive groups were found.

The enemy fired mortars and artillery at the settlements of Mykhalchyna Sloboda (Chernihiv region), Korenok, Boyaro-Lezhachi, Ryzhivka, and Basivka (Sumy region), as well as vicinities of 15 settlements in Kharkiv region. Among them are Tymofiivka, Starytsya, Vovchansk, Budarky, Ambarne, and Bolohivka.

An enemy sabotage and reconnaissance group was detected in the vicinity of Bolohivka. The Ukrainian Defense Forces fired for effect, forcing the enemy to retreat to the territory of the Russian Federation.

The enemy conducted several unsuccessful offensives on Kup’yans’k and Lyman axes. The invaders also attempted to infiltrate a sabotage and reconnaissance group near Fyholivka. The enemy fired artillery at the vicinities of settlements of Kamyanka, Hryanikivka, Kotlyarivka, Berestove (Kharkiv region), Nevske, Kreminna, Kuzmyne, Dibrova, Bilohorivka (Luhansk region), Ivanivka, and Yampolivka (Donetsk region).

Bakhmut axis: the adversary continues to attack the positions of Ukrainian troops near the settlements of Orikhovo-Vasylivka, Dubovo-Vasylivka, Berkhivka, Yahidne, and Bakhmut. The enemy is active in aerial reconnaissance to spot artillery fire. Vicinities of 18 settlements were shelled.

Avdiivka and Shakhtarske axes: the occupants launched an unsuccessful offensive near Novobakhmutivka, Vodyane, Nevelske, Marinka, and Prechystivka. The enemy fired artillery at the vicinities of about 20 settlements. In particular, these are Novobakhmutivka, Avdiivka, Pervomaiske, Vodyane, Nevelske, Krasnohorivka, Marinka, Paraskoviivka, Novomykhailivka, Vuhledar, and Velyka Novosilka (Donetsk region).

Kherson axis: Russian occupation forces’ artillery fire hit the settlements of Kherson oblast located on the right bank of the Dnipro River. In particular, Novotyahynka, Antonivka, and Chornobaivka.

The Russian occupiers are using the local infrastructure in the temporarily occupied part of the Zaporizhzhia region for their own purposes, particularly for their own enrichment. For example, the invaders use one of the vehicle service stations in Tokmak to maintain their military equipment and disassemble cars stolen from the local residents for parts to be further sold.

On February 22, Ukrainian Air Force launched 10 air strikes on the concentrations of personnel and military equipment of the occupiers. In the meantime, missile and artillery units hit 2 concentrations of the adversary manpower.

Glory to Ukraine!
