[Korrespondent] 22:19 The head of the Kharkov OVA, commenting on Forbes information about the Russian offensive in the Kupyansk direction, recalled that the Russian army has been advancing there since February 2022: “And since the counter-offensive of the Ukrainian Armed Forces, the occupiers have not given up their intentions to reconquer these territories again, because for them it is logistically important direction... For more than six months, heavy fighting has been going on in all sectors of the front, the Russians are conducting high-intensity assault operations.

The armed forces are ready for any further scenarios, enemy actions and rapid response to intelligence results."

The Russian group is opposed by about ten Ukrainian brigades with a total number of 20 thousand military personnel. At the same time, the main problem is the shortage of ammunition among the Ukrainian Armed Forces, the publication notes.

12:57 Journalist Andrei Tsaplienko reports, citing his sources in Avdievka, that today the situation in the city has become critical. Russian attack aircraft, taking advantage of cloudy weather and the impossibility of high-quality aerial reconnaissance, entered the city from the northeast. They bypassed the Ukrainian battle formations and entrenched themselves in the buildings. “This means that they are hundreds of meters away from the main logistics artery of the Ukrainian defenders. But the situation is not hopeless yet, the military says... In fact, the fate of Avdiivka is being decided these days,” Tsaplienko said.

10:12 Belgium proposed a plan to the G7 to unblock Russian assets in favor of Ukraine, writes the Financial Times. In particular, the Belgian government has initiated the issuance of debt obligations that will raise funds for the reconstruction of Ukraine. Russian assets will be used to pay off the debt. The publication explains that Ukraine’s allies will demand that Russia repay the debt under the issued obligations, but if Moscow refuses, then the partners will attract frozen assets of the Russian Federation. This will help bypass some legal obstacles to the confiscation of Russian funds.
