According to her, the Armed Forces of Ukraine repel dozens of enemy attacks in a day, while in the Donetsk direction there is a mutual movement of both sides. If the occupiers move forward, the Ukrainian defenders react and take back control.

She clarified that the main task now is to prepare for the liberation of our territories and to consolidate in the liberated territories.

09:24 The Turkish Ministry of Defense reported that it had informed Shoigu about the Ukrainian position on the grain deal, and stated that there were no concerns about the security of the corridor.
09:22 The American Institute for the Study of War (ISW) notes that effective Ukrainian guerrilla attacks are forcing the Russian leadership to divert resources from operations at the front to ensure the security of rear areas. In addition, the partisans impair Russia's ability to defend itself against constant Ukrainian counter-offensives, not to mention its own offensives. The Kremlin still cannot effectively resist the Ukrainian organized partisan movement and is unlikely to be able to do so, analysts say. One reason is the lack of human resources.
ISW also reports that the situation in Donbas is escalating, and the Russian occupation forces are carrying out offensive operations with a vengeance. Russian troops are trying to capture not only Bakhmut, but also Avdeevka, Pavlovka, Novomikhailovka and Ugledar.
09:14 Yermak said that Ukraine had found a recipe for Russian attacks by Iranian drones: "Russia relied on the suddenness of the use and the high cost of destroying these" tins "by air defense means for us. But recipes were found very quickly, the main ingredient of which is small arms. Now we are actively engaged in a dialogue on the supply of modern air defense systems, we are working on this every day.We will get them because someone is hoping to bring missiles from Iran to continue the terror of our country.In military chess, we must be one step ahead.The desire of the enemy to get Iranian missiles confirms the work of the sanctions."
09:09 The Kiev city military administration reported that six enemy kamikaze drones were destroyed tonight on the outskirts of the capital.
09:02 In the Donetsk region over the past day, as a result of Russian shelling, four civilians were killed - two in Torsk, one each in Bakhmut and Wells. In addition, in Rubtsy, law enforcement officers found the bodies of five more civilians who died during the occupation. Ten more people were injured yesterday, Pavel Kirilenko, head of the OVA, said.
08:56 Pentagon spokesman John Kirby called Iran an accomplice in the war against Ukraine on the side of the Russian Federation: "At its core, this is the regime in Tehran, which openly and willingly makes itself an accomplice in the murder of innocent Ukrainian people on Ukrainian soil."
08:51 Washington allocated 47.6 million dollars for the training of Ukrainian sappers. According to the State Department, the funds will be transferred to Tetra Tech, which will train and equip people who work with explosives. This tranche is part of the $91.5 million previously announced demining assistance.

08:28 Yermak called for restrictions on the Russian gold mining and manufacturing industry, as well as various brokerage companies, intermediaries and resellers of gold. In particular, it is necessary to introduce serious export controls on the supply of equipment to Russia, which is necessary for the extraction and production of gold; sanctions are also needed against manufacturers of such equipment that have not yet left the Russian market. It is important to impose sanctions on the export of Russian gold from jurisdictions such as Singapore - this is a hub for gold, but so far Singapore has not sanctioned the Russian Federation too actively, the head of the OP notes.
08:23 Hourly shutdown schedules apply today in the Central and Northern regions, Ukrenergo reported. In particular, the restriction of power supply is introduced for consumers in Kyiv, Kyiv, Chernihiv, Cherkasy and Zhytomyr regions, as well as Sumy, Kharkov and Poltava regions.
