It has been the 1503 th day of the Ukrainian resistance to the russian military aggression.
What happened in Ukraine today:
Here is operational information of the General Staff as of 4 pm:
Since the start of the day, the aggressor has carried out 56 attacks.
The aggressor is shelling border areas. Today, the following settlements in Sumy oblast were hit: Iskryskivshchyna, Neskuchne, Bezsalivka, Korenok, Bachivsk, Atynske, Rohizne, Stepanivka, Vovkivka, Malushyne and Volfyne; also Tymonovychi was targeted in Chernihiv oblast.
Towards Northern Sloboda and Kursk, the enemy carried out two air strikes using four guided bombs, conducted 44 shelling attacks on settlements and our troops’ positions, four of which involved the use of multiple launch rocket systems. One combat engagement was recorded.
Towards Southern Sloboda, the enemy twice attempted to improve its position in the areas around the settlements of Starytsia and Kolodiazne.
Towards Kupiansk, the enemy carried out four assaults in the areas of Pishchane and Novoosynove.
Towards Lyman, Ukrainian troops repelled one attempt by the invaders to advance towards the settlement of Lyman.
Towards Sloviansk, the occupiers twice attempted to advance on our troops’ positions towards Yampil and Rai-Oleksandrivka.
Towards Kramatorsk, the occupiers launched two attacks in the areas of Pryvillia and Markove. One attack is ongoing.
Towards Kostiantynivka, the invaders carried out 14 attacks near the settlements of Kostiantynivka, Pleshchiivka, Kleban-Byk, Stepanivka, Illinivka, Rusyn Yar and Sofiivka. Two assaults are ongoing.
Towards Pokrovsk, since the start of the day, the occupiers have attempted 15 times to dislodge our troops from their positions in the areas around the settlements of Bilytske, Rodynske, Myrnohrad, Pokrovsk, Kotlyne, Udachne and Novomykolaivka. One enemy assault is ongoing.
Towards Oleksandrivka, the enemy launched eight attacks towards Ivanivka, Myrne, Lisne, Kalynivske, Pryvillia, Verbove and Zlahoda. Four enemy assaults are ongoing. The occupiers also carried out an air strike in the areas around the settlements of Orly and Novoselivka.

Towards Kherson, the enemy carried out three assault operations towards Bilohrudy Island and the Antonivsky Bridge.
Three thousand facilities require protection: Dmytro Kuleba presented a €5.4bn plan in Brussels to prepare Ukraine for the coming winter. Ukraine has already moved from reacting to individual attacks to a systematic resilience model, which involves protecting infrastructure, developing distributed generation, and ensuring water and heat supplies at regional and local levels. Physical protection of energy facilities is already proving effective: fortified facilities can withstand up to 40 strikes and continue to operate. At the same time, the scale of the challenges remains significant against the backdrop of constant attacks.
State assistance for defenders returning from Russian captivity. Soldiers released from captivity receive a one-off payment of UAH 100,000, as well as annual financial assistance of UAH 100,000 for each full year spent in captivity. During captivity, military personnel continue to receive their pay, and the accumulated funds are paid out upon their return. Following release, 90 days of paid leave is granted with pay continuing to be received. Servicemen who have been held captive automatically receive combatant status. Wounds, injuries or illnesses sustained in captivity are treated as combat-related, which guarantees a full package of social protection, benefits and free medical treatment. The state also provides for medical treatment and rehabilitation.
