Day 365 of the full-scale Russian invasion continues.

The Russian federation continues to focus its main efforts on offensive operations on Kupyansk, Lyman, Bakhmut, Avdiivka, and Shakhtarske axes. No changes in the structure and position of the enemy groups of troops were reported.

The adversary is actively conducting aerial reconnaissance to reveal the exact position of Ukrainian units and the spot for artillery fire. As a result, the enemy is losing equipment: Ukrainian Defence Forces destroyed Russian Merlin and Zala UAVs.

On February 23, Russian occupants launched nine missile attacks, one of which caused damage to the civilian administrative building in Dvorichna (Kharkiv region), and conducted 28 air strikes. Moreover, the invaders launched more than 40 MLRS attacks. As a result, civilian facilities in the towns of Beryslav, Zelenivka, and Bilozerka (Kherson region) were damaged.
