It has been the 847th 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 6pm:
On 19 June, the enemy increased the pace of offensive and assault operations, looking for ways to penetrate Ukrainian defences and try to dislodge Ukrainian units from the occupied lines. Ukrainian defenders are giving a worthy rebuff to the occupiers, destroying personnel and equipment.
The number of combat clashes along the entire front line has increased to 95.
Towards Kharkiv, the invaders attacked four times during the day without success in the vicinity of Vovchansk and Lyptsi. In the afternoon, russian terrorists launched an insidious attack with four KABs on the civilian infrastructure of Kharkiv and its suburbs.
