The Russian troops are trying to continue offensive operations in the Eastern Operational Zone in order to establish full control over the territory of Donetsk and Luhansk oblasts, reported from the General Staff of the Armed Forces of Ukraine.
"The Russians continue to launch missile and bomb strikes on military and civilian infrastructure throughout Ukraine. In the Volyn and Polissya directions, the enemy did not take active action. The threat of rocket-bomb strikes by Russian aircraft on objects on the territory of Ukraine with the use of the territory, airfield network, and airspace of the Republic of Belarus remains.
"In the Slobozhansky direction, the Russian enemy regroups and replenishes its reserves. The partial blockade of Kharkiv and the shelling of the city continue.
"In the Izyum direction, the enemy attempted an offensive in the direction of Sulyhivka, Dibrivne. The enemy is trying to conduct air reconnaissance of the offensive with the use of unmanned aerial vehicles "Orlan-10".
"In the Donetsk and Tavriya directions, the Russians continue to shell the front lines of our troops and search for weak points in the defense along the entire line of contact. Fighting continues in the areas of Kreminna, Torske, and Zelena Dolyna. The Russian enemy regroups in order to further attack in the direction of the village of Lyman.
"After attempts by the Russian occupiers to storm Rubizhne and Severodonetsk, about 130 wounded enemy soldiers were taken to the local hospital in Novoaydar. The exact number is currently being clarified. In the Donetsk direction, the Russians carried out assaults in the area of the Marinka settlement.
"The Russian enemy's main efforts are focused on capturing the city of Mariupol, continuing the assault in the area of the Azovstal plant. They are fighting in the settlements of Velyka Novosilka, Rivnopil, and Storozheve and continue to provide logistical support to troops.
"Due to heavy losses, the Russian occupiers withdrew the battalion tactical group of the 237th Tank Regiment of the 3rd Motorized Rifle Division of the 20th Guards Combined Arms Army of the Western Military District from Kharkiv Oblast to the Permanent Deployment Point (Soloty, Belgorod Oblast) to restore combat capability.
"Ten attacks by the Russian occupiers were repulsed in the Donetsk and Luhansk oblasts over the past 24 hours, twelve tanks were destroyed, twenty-eight armored and two units of armored vehicles, and one artillery system were destroyed. The Air Force of the Armed Forces of Ukraine has hit nine air targets in the previous day: one plane, one helicopter, six UAVs of various types, and a cruise missile," the General Staff said on Facebook.
