The two-hundred-forty-fourth (244) day of the heroic resistance of the Ukrainian people to a Russian military large-scale invasion continues.
The enemy is trying to keep the temporarily captured territories and concentrates efforts on restraining the actions of the Defense Forces in certain areas. At the same time, he does not stop trying to conduct offensive actions in the Bakhmut and Avdiivka areas.
The enemy is shelling the positions of our troops along the contact line, carrying out fortification equipment in the area in certain directions, and conducting aerial reconnaissance. Violating the norms of International Humanitarian Law, the laws and customs of war, it continues to strike critical infrastructure and the homes of the civilian population.

The situation in the Volyn and Polissya directions has not changed significantly. The Republic of Belarus continues to support the armed aggression of the Russian federation against Ukraine. The threat of missile strikes and attack UAVs on Ukrainian territory remains.

More than 30 settlements were affected by fire in the Southern Buh direction. The Russian occupiers continue to mine areas along the coastline of the Dniepr River. They are trying to restore the affected pontoon-bridge crossings. To conduct aerial reconnaissance, the enemy made up to 55 sorties of UAVs of various types.
The Russian occupying forces continued forced mobilization measures to replenish current losses. In the temporarily occupied settlement of Khrustalnyi, Luhansk region, "mobile groups" detain and transport all men to the military commissariat. According to available information, another batch of prisoners came from Russia to Stanytsia Luhanska to replenish units of private military campaigns. The local so-called "law enforcement officers" are forbidden to intervene in case of violations by the arriving mercenaries.
To replenish the losses in the Zaporizhzhya region, another batch of Russian servicemen has arrived in settlement of Vovkivka, who are chaotically moving through the streets, looking for food and an opportunity to wash among the local population.
According to the updated information, the consequences of the enemy's fire damage have been confirmed. As a result of point strikes by the artillery of the Defense Forces, up to 30 occupants were eliminated in settlement of Kayiry, Kherson region, and more than a hundred enemy servicemen remained under the rubble. In the village of Hornostaivka, after the detonation of the ammunition warehouse, the movement of a large number of ambulances was observed. Losses are carefully hidden by the enemy.
