It has been the 213th day of Ukrainian people’s resistance to the russian military invasion.
Ukraine briefly
Here is operational information from the General Staff as of 6pm:
The enemy continues to concentrate its efforts on trying to fully occupy Donetsk Oblast, keep the occupied territories, and deter active operations of the Defense Forces in certain areas. The invaders fire at the positions of our troops near the contact line, conduct aerial reconnaissance and try to regain lost positions in certain areas.
The enemy continues to cynically strike at civilian infrastructure and population. There is a constant threat of launching air and missile strikes on the entire territory of Ukraine.
The occupiers launched 5 missile and 12 air strikes and carried out over nine rocket launches using multiple rocket launchers at military and civilian targets on the territory of our country, thus violating the norms of International Humanitarian Law and the laws and customs of warfare.
Over 20 settlements were affected by enemy fire damage, including Bakhmut, Kalynivka, Mali Shcherbaki, Mykolaiivka, Mykolaiv, Pivdenne, Sukhyi Stavok.
Towards Volyn and Polissia, the situation has not changed significantly.
In other directions, the enemy inflicted fire damage from tanks, mortars and barreled artillery, namely:
towards Siversk, Huta-Studenetsk and Mikhailove of Chernihiv Oblast and Krasnopillia, Mezenivka, Myropilske, Pavlivka, Stukalivka, Seredyna-Buda, and Slavhorod of Sumy Oblast;
towards Sloboda region, Hoptivka, Horokhuvatka, Ivashky, Kupiansk, Oleksandrivka, Podoly, Strelecha;
towards Kramatorsk, Dibrova, Ozerne, Raihorodok, Pryshyb, Siversk and Yarova;

Towards the South Buh, more than 40 settlements along the contact line were affected by fire. In order to conduct reconnaissance, adjust fire and strike civilian infrastructure, the enemy made more than 60 UAV sorties.
On the rf territory, partial mobilization continues. Due to low motivation and poor readiness of russian citizens to take part in hostilities on the territory of Ukraine, in the settlements of the Krasnodar Territory, from the first hours of the announced mobilization, representatives of military commissariats began house rounds and deliver summonses to men of draft age. Police checkpoints are set up on the main roads to control the movement of male population. Mobilized personnel after a short training in training centers are planned to be sent to replenish military units that suffered numerous losses during the war on the territory of Ukraine.
During the current day, units of the Defense Forces repulsed hostile attacks in the areas of Bakhmutske, Nevelske, Novomykhailivka, Opytne, Odradivka, Petropavlivka, Vyimka, Zaitseve.

Ukrainian soldiers who have been released from captivity have major health problems. This was announced by Head of the Azov patronage service Olena Tolkachova. Almost all 215 people have an extreme degree of anorexia. “Our guys are exhausted, contused, there are a lot of hidden fractures and exacerbations of varying degrees of chronic diseases,” she said.
