The enemy is trying to hold the temporarily captured territories, is concentrating its efforts on attempts to disrupt the counteroffensive actions of the Armed Forces in separate directions, and at the same time is trying to conduct offensive actions in the Bakhmut and Avdiiv directions.

This was announced on Facebook by the General Staff of the Armed Forces of Ukraine on the morning of the 232nd day of the heroic resistance of Ukrainians to the Russian military invasion.

The enemy is shelling the positions of our troops along the contact line, carrying out engineering equipment of positions and defense lines in separate directions and conducting aerial reconnaissance.

Violating the norms of International Humanitarian Law, the laws and customs of war, it strikes critical infrastructure and the homes of the civilian population.

Over the past 24 hours, the occupiers have launched 3 rocket and 21 air strikes, and fired 104 rockets from multiple rocket launchers.

Objects and civilians in more than 40 settlements were hit by the enemy . The enemy attacked, in particular, the districts of Mykolaiv, Vinnytsia, Cherkassy, ​​Chernyakhov, Bilogorivka, Spirnyi, Pavlivka, Myrnyi and Davydovo Brod. For this, he used winged, aviation, anti-aircraft guided missiles and unmanned aerial vehicles of Iranian production.

In the Volyn and Poliske directions , the situation has not changed significantly.

The enemy fired in other directions:

in the Siverskyi direction - from mortars and barrel artillery, in the areas of Myropillya, Seredyna-Buda, Stukalyvka and Pavlivka settlements;

in the Slobozhansk direction - from artillery of various types, in the areas of Bugruvatka, Hryanikyvka, Dvorichna, Nova Vovcha, Strilecha, Udy, and Chervona Zorya settlements;

in the Kramatorsk direction - from tanks, mortars, barrel and rocket artillery, along the entire line of contact. In particular, in the vicinity of Bilogorivka, Zarychny, Novoehorivka, Serebryanka, Spirny, Terni, Torsky and Yampolivka;

in the Bakhmut direction - from tanks and artillery of various calibers, along the entire line of contact. In particular, in the areas of the settlements of Bakhmut, Bakhmutske, Zelenopilya, Soledar, Mayorsk, New York and Yakovlivka;

in the Avdiivka direction - from tanks, mortars, barrel and rocket artillery, in the Avdiivka, Krasnohorivka, Maryinka, Nevelsky and Pervomaisky areas.

Areas of more than 20 settlements along the contact line were damaged by fire in the South Buzka direction.


Over the past day, units of the Defense Forces repelled the attacks of the occupiers in the areas of the settlements of Bakhmutske, Ozaryanivka, Ivangrad, Bakhmut and Maryinka.

In some areas of hostilities, in particular in the Donetsk region , enemy units began to receive orders from the top management to temporarily stop offensive actions. The main reason is the extremely low morale and psychological condition of the recruits, numerous facts of desertion from among the mobilized and non-fulfilment of combat orders.

According to available information, in the area of ​​the city of Tokmak, Zaporizhia region, our units hit three S-300 anti-aircraft missile complexes of the enemy along with personnel. The injured occupiers were transported to a local hospital. In the Kherson region, as a result of point fire damage in the Tokarivka area, the losses of the enemy amounted to 150 people killed.

It is also known that the repair base of the occupiers in the area of ​​the settlement of Kalanchak accepts for repair up to thirty units of damaged armored vehicles that are suitable for repair every day.

Aviation of the Defense Forces carried out 32 strikes during the past 24 hours. More than 25 areas of concentration of weapons and military equipment, as well as seven anti-aircraft missile systems of the enemy, have been damaged. In addition, our air defense units shot down four enemy helicopters and 26 unmanned aerial vehicles.

Over the past day, missile forces and artillery hit 6 control points, seven areas of concentration of manpower, weapons and military equipment, and 4 ammunition depots. Enemy artillery positions, EW and other military targets also fell into the fire damage zone.

It will be recalled that Ukraine will receive from the Netherlands missiles for air defense and anti-missile systems in the amount of 15 million euros.
