Here is operational information of the General Staff as of 4 pm:
The situation on the frontline is characterised by the enemy’s particular activity towards Pokrovsk and Kurakhove. The enemy is using all available forces and means to achieve its goals. The defence forces are acting professionally and effectively, inflicting significant losses on the enemy.
In total, there were 111 combat engagements.
A number of settlements near the border with russia suffered from enemy terrorist attacks. Thus, settlements in Sumy and Chernihiv regions, such as Osoivka, Ponomarenky, Tymonovychi, Velyka Pysarivka, Huta-Studenetska and Khodyne, came under artillery fire.

The new Peklo cruise missile has gone into mass production. The contracts are signed by the same units that operate long-range drones. Over the past three months, the development company has produced about 100 missiles and is now increasing its production capacity.

The transporter is designed for logistics and evacuation: it delivers ammunition, equipment and evacuates the wounded. It can be equipped with combat modules. It can also act as a kamikaze drone. This robotic system has a silent high-traction electric motor. It is durable and able to operate in difficult conditions.

Donetsk oblast
Frontline
Stepan Barna, Commander of the Barni unit of the 10th separate mountain assault brigade, reported that russian troops continue to attack Ukrainian positions towards Seversk. This section of the front is “ideologically important” for the russian authorities, as the occupation authorities have not had a single major success here in almost two and a half years of fighting.
The General Staff reported that the Defence Forces struck at the headquarters of the 8th Army of the russian Federation, which was located in Khartsyzsk, Donetsk oblast. This command post was used to coordinate assaults and shelling towards Kurakhove.

In the so-called “luhansk people’s republic”, traffic violators will now pay twice as many fines. Yes, officially, they have only increased by one and a half times. However, at the same time, the occupiers halved the discount for paying a fine within the first 30 days – from 50% to 25%. So, if in 2024 a person had to pay either rub 500 in the first month or rub 1,000 later for a conditional violation of rub 1,000, then from 2025 a similar violation will cost rub 1,500 – that is, rub 1,125 in the first month of payment (instead of RUB 500 as before). For example, speeding or driving on the wrong side of the road will now be punishable by up to rub 7,500, and drunk driving by up to rub 45,000.
Emergency services in Siverskodonetsk, in the absence of mobile phone and internet, can be called in two ways. During the day, when there is no curfew, you can use several payphones installed by russians in the city. At night, in addition to home wired communications, citizens use radio devices. They have found a frequency on the UHF band where ambulances and the russian police receive calls. They can also call a taxi. But for this, you also need to buy a portable radio transmitter.
