The enemy did not conduct active operations in the Volyn, Polissya and Siversky sectors. The transfer of damaged equipment of the military units of the Nordic Military District by rail from the territory of the Republic of Belarus to the Russian Federation continues. The armed forces of the Russian Federation continue to use the airfields on the territory of the Republic of Belarus for the purpose of conducting air strikes on civilian infrastructure facilities on the territory of our state.
In the Slobozhansky sector, the enemy continues to partially blockade the city of Kharkiv. The occupants are attempting to carry out a military attack on units of our troops and critical infrastructure facilities. Enemy units attempted an offensive and storming operations west of the city of Izium. They were unsuccessful, suffering losses and forcibly retreated to the previously occupied positions.
On the Donetsk direction, near the city of Mar'yinka, the enemy sustained losses and retreated as a result of a counterattack by our forces. Units of the Defense Forces regained control of this population center.
Combat operations in the Oleksandrivka area continue in the Pivdenno-Buzsky sector, the enemy is unsuccessful. It tries to reach the administrative boundary line of the Kherson region and does not stop shelling settlements.
The enemy continues to incur significant losses of special forces. In order to solve the problem of staffing units with servicemen under contract, the command of the Russian Federation armed forces has decided on the possibility of signing short-term contracts for a period of three months and on simplifying the psychological and physical selection of future candidates. These measures did not have a positive effect. According to available information, since the beginning of the year only 130 servicemen were selected for service in 42 units of the pivdennoe military district on a contract basis. Twenty-two of them have already refused to participate in the so-called "special operation" on the territory of Ukraine.
The units taking an indirect part in the military aggression on the territory of Ukraine are in particular need of special staff.
According to available information, the 200th Independent Motorized Brigade of the 14th Army Corps of the Coastal Forces of the Ukrainian Black Sea Fleet has been killed in two battalion-strength tactical groups.
In addition, three companies of the 51st Parachute Regiment and one company of the 137th Parachute Regiment, part of the 106th Parachute Division, were also decimated on the territory of our state.
We believe in the Armed Forces of Ukraine! Together we will win! Glory to Ukraine!
