[Korrespondent] 22.43 Since the beginning of the day, 124 combat clashes have occurred on the front. More than half of the Russian attacks are in two directions. This was reported by the General Staff of the Armed Forces of Ukraine in an operational summary as of 22:00 on Wednesday, April 23.
20.33 Denmark has agreed on about 317 million Danish kroner (about $48 million) for the transfer of artillery ammunition to Ukraine via Estonia. This was reported by the Danish Ministry of Defense.
20.03 The General Staff confirmed the destruction of a plant producing attack UAVs on the territory of the Russian Federation, at a distance of more than 1000 km from the state border of Ukraine. This is stated in a statement by the General Staff.
20:00 Statements by Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky that Ukraine does not recognize the occupation of Crimea "harm peace talks with Russia," US leader Donald Trump said.
"Nobody is asking Zelensky to recognize Crimea as Russian territory, but if he wants Crimea, why didn't they fight for it 11 years ago when it was handed over to Russia without a shot being fired? There were also large Russian submarine bases in the area for many years before the 'handover to Obama.' He has nothing to brag about," the US leader wrote.
Trump said the situation for Ukraine is now difficult: "You can have peace or fight for three more years before you lose the whole country."
18.50 The Russian invading army has made a significant advance southwest of Toretsk in the Donetsk region. This was reported by the DeepState project. After many attempts, the enemy has found a weak spot in the defense of the Ukrainian Armed Forces, and Toretsk's logistics may be at risk, analysts believe.
18.36 Ukrainian drones are becoming more resistant to the Russian army's electronic warfare. This was stated by the Commander-in-Chief of the Armed Forces of Ukraine, Oleksandr Syrsky.
"We continue to strengthen the technological component of the Armed Forces of Ukraine. Our drones are becoming more resistant to enemy electronic warfare, and are capable of seeing the enemy both day and night - both in the open field and in various shelters," the commander-in-chief noted.
18.08 Negotiations between representatives of Ukraine, Great Britain, Germany and France have ended in London. They discussed steps to achieve a fair and sustainable peace in our country, the President's Office reported . American representatives were not present at the negotiations. But the participants in the meeting "stressed their commitment to the peace efforts of US President Donald Trump."
17.53 As a result of Russian drone shelling in the Nikopol district, a woman and her two daughters, a one-year-old and a three-year-old, were injured. This was reported on April 23 by the head of the Dnipropetrovsk regional military administration, Serhiy Lysak.
17.40 China continues to call Ukraine's accusations of aiding Russia "baseless." This was stated at a briefing by Chinese Foreign Ministry spokesman Guo Jiakun, responding to the summons of his ambassador to the Ukrainian Foreign Ministry.
17.27 Mercenaries from at least 48 countries are taking part in the war against Ukraine on the side of Russia. Russian media have identified 1,500 of them. This is reported by Important Stories. It is noted that although Russian dictator Vladimir Putin claims that Russia does not need foreign mercenaries, more than 1,500 foreigners could have been recruited into the army through a Moscow recruitment point from April 2023 to May 2024 alone.
17.10 Russian troops launched a missile attack on the territory of the Korovin community in the Sumy region. There are no preliminary casualties. As a result of the enemy attack, civilian infrastructure facilities were damaged. The consequences of the missile attack are being clarified.
17:00 Since the beginning of the day, 83 combat clashes have occurred on the front. More than half of the Russian attacks are in two directions, the General Staff of the Armed Forces of Ukraine reported in an operational summary as of 16:00.
16.30 Russia should expand the capacity of its military-industrial complex (MIC) to prepare for future military conflicts. This statement was made by the head of the Russian regime Vladimir Putin, the Kremlin press service reported .
16.25 Since the beginning of the day, the enemy has already managed to use artillery and drones against Kherson. As a result of the latest shelling, four people were injured.
So, at about 13:30, the Russians fired artillery at Kherson.
The shelling left a 78-year-old woman with a blast injury and a chest wound.
While at around 2:00 p.m., a 67-year-old man and a 32-year-old woman were injured by the blast as a result of explosives being dropped from a drone.
Subsequently, Russian troops again attacked the city with artillery, as a result of which the 39-year-old man received an explosive injury, wounding his shoulder and leg.
16.24 In Marganets, the number of victims due to the Russian drone attack on a bus with workers of the enterprise has increased to 49 people. This was reported by the head of the Dnipropetrovsk OVA Sergey Lisak.
15.32 The European Union's position on supporting Ukraine's territorial integrity and sovereignty remains unchanged: Crimea is Ukraine. This was stated by European Commission spokesman Guillaume Mercier at a briefing in Brussels.
15.20 A man who was seriously injured during Russia's massive drone attack on April 22 has died in a hospital in Kharkov.
"Unfortunately, a man who was seriously wounded during yesterday's shelling of Kharkov has died in the hospital. Doctors have been fighting for his life since yesterday. Condolences to his family and friends," said OVA chief Oleg Sinegubov.
15:09 In the Toretsk direction, fighters of the 49th separate assault battalion of the Carpathian Sich captured a foreign mercenary who fought on the side of the Russian army.
"Fighters of the 49th separate assault battalion Carpathian Sich captured an exotic occupier - an African mercenary who came to fight for the Russian Federation. Foreigners from all over the world are climbing into Ukraine for rubles," the defenders noted in the message.

"FABs, Aleksandrova and Khortytskaya streets. Two people were injured. One of them is in extremely serious condition," he wrote on Telegram.
12.56 Ukraine is currently heroically defending itself and has military and financial assistance from its allies, so there is no reason for it to capitulate. The stake in the war is for Ukraine to determine for itself what compromises it can agree to. This was stated by Polish Foreign Minister Radoslaw Sikorski during his speech on Wednesday, April 23, in the Polish Sejm on the tasks of the foreign policy of the Republic of Poland for 2025.
12:55 The Ministry of Defense of Ukraine has codified and approved for use the General Chereshnya unmanned FPV aircraft complex.
The complex's copters are based on frames of different sizes. These aircraft have powerful electric motors. Depending on the frame size, drones can carry an explosive charge designed to destroy enemy armored vehicles, cars, and dugouts.
The General Cherry complex can be deployed and prepared for operation in a matter of minutes. This is very important for ensuring the safety of the crew.
11:32 Russians, taking advantage of the ceasefire, have transferred equipment and manpower from Crimea to the Zaporizhia region. Assault actions by Russian troops are expected to intensify along the entire front line in the South. This was reported by the spokesman for the Defense Forces of the South, Vladislav Voloshin, Ukrinform reports.

It is noted that after remote recruitment, the suspect prepared coordinates for Russian missile and drone attacks on the region.

9.26 US Secretary of State Marco Rubio will not take part in talks in London aimed at finding ways to end Russia's war against Ukraine, as "Kiev has made it clear it will reject a key point in the Trump administration's proposal to end the three-year conflict," US television channel CNN reported, citing informed sources.
9.23 On the front of the past day, 144 combat clashes between the Ukrainian Defense Forces and the Russian invaders were recorded. Aviation, missile troops and artillery of the Defense Forces hit 19 areas of concentration of personnel, weapons and military equipment, four artillery weapons, an air defense system and a command post of the Russians.
