The day before, a video appeared on the network where Prigozhin personally recruits prisoners in one of the colonies.

08:46 In Krivoy Rog, the consequences of a Russian missile attack on the dam of the Karachunovsky reservoir were eliminated all night. According to the head of the Dnepropetrovsk OVA, Valentin Reznichenko, the Russians launched strikes with Kinzhal and Iskander missiles. Due to the attack, the water level in different parts of the Ingulets River rose from one to almost two meters. As of this morning, it has been reduced by 13 cm and continues to fall.

Alexander Vilkul, head of the CAA of Krivoy Rog, added that a large list of events was carried out at night, "starting from two dam explosions in the Chernogorka region to increase throughput, and ending with large engineering work." Because of the missile attack, 112 private houses and farmsteads were flooded. People were evacuated, including from Gdantsevka and Motronovka. According to Vilkul, another place where a cruise missile hit was found, causing damage to the water supply. About 5,000 people were left without water in the Sofiyiv community.

02:19 Zelensky, in an evening video message, said that during the Ukrainian counter-offensive in the Kharkiv region, only in the first day of active operations, the Armed Forces of Ukraine moved forward by 19 km. In five days of fighting, 110 km were covered, in total almost 400 settlements were de-occupied, 150 thousand Ukrainians were liberated.

The President emphasized that for more than five months that the Russian army was in the Kharkiv region, the occupiers did not even try to do something for the people: “They only destroyed, only took away, only took them out. The invaders left schools turned into dumps, and churches - broken, literally turned into toilets ... What the world saw in Bucha, what we saw in the de-occupied territory of Chernihiv and Sumy regions, what we see now with you in the Kharkiv region - this is evidence of genocide against Ukrainians. Proof that Russia cannot bring anything other than genocide."

01:46 Zelensky, in an evening video message in Russian, addressed the Russians: "History is written by people, non-humans - never. Events show that the only way out for Russian soldiers is to surrender to Ukrainian forces. Only this guarantees them the preservation of life and attitude in accordance with all conventions.Today's missile attacks, Russian missiles on Krivoy Rog, on the dam of the Karachunovsky reservoir, on objects that have no military value at all, in fact on hundreds of thousands of ordinary civilians - this is another reason why Russia will lose. this war, but history itself."

00:13 The head of the VA of Krivoy Rog, Alexander Vilkul, said that the Russians fired eight cruise missiles "on a very large hydraulic structure" in Krivoy Rog. “An attempt is to simply wash away part of our city with water. We control the situation, the accident is being eliminated, all services are involved, everything is in place. But the water level in the Ingulets River has risen,” Vilkul wrote.

In order to "move away from unnecessary risks," he asked residents of a number of streets in the Ingulets and Central City districts to be evacuated. Municipal buses will be served, people will be taken to schools and kindergartens, where they can stay while the accident is being eliminated.
