Unable to withstand the fire of our artillery, the strikes of missile forces and aviation, the Russian invaders left the Snake Island. However, the occupier continues efforts to seize the Donetsk and Luhansk regions, efforts to hold captured areas of the Kherson and Zaporizhzhia regions, and efforts to create conditions for an offensive in Kharkiv and Mykolaiv regions
