It has been the 1064 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:
Russian invaders continue to storm the positions of Ukrainian defenders. In response, the Defense Forces of Ukraine thwart the enemy’s insidious plans, inflicting significant losses in manpower and equipment.
In total, 67 combat engagements have taken place since the beginning of the day.
Border settlements continue to suffer from cynical shelling from the territory of the Russian Federation, including Baranivka, Demyanivka, and Pokrovka in the Sumy region, as well as Tymofiivka in the Kharkiv region.
In the Kupiansk direction, the enemy carried out four assault operations near Lozova, Zahrizove, and Petropavlivka. Two engagements are ongoing.
In the Lyman direction, the occupying army attacked five times near the settlements of Pershotravneve, Novosergiivka, Zelena Dolyna, Kuzmyne, and towards the Serebryanske Forest. One engagement remains unresolved.
The Defense Forces are repelling two Russian attacks near Chasiv Yar in the Kramatorsk direction. Additionally, the enemy launched an airstrike using guided bombs on the settlement of Bondarne.
In the Toretsk direction, the enemy attacked eight times in the Toretsk area.
In the Pokrovsk direction, the occupiers made 44 attempts since the start of the day to push our defenders out of their positions in the areas of Zelene Pole, Myroliubivka, Yelyzavetivka, Lysivka, Pershe Travnya, Zvirove, Pokrovsk, Novosergiivka, Kotlyne, Andriivka, Shevchenko, Dachne, Ulakly, and Yantarne. The Defense Forces are holding the enemy’s pressure, repelling 41 attacks, while three engagements are still underway. Enemy losses are being clarified.
Today, in the Novopavlivka direction, the aggressor attacked five times near the settlements of Kostyantynopil and Vremivka. Four engagements have been completed, and one is still ongoing.

In other sectors of the front, the situation has not undergone significant changes.
During the war, Russians poisoned over 2,000 Ukrainian Armed Forces personnel with chemical substances, three of whom died. The Russians primarily use hazardous chemical agents in areas where they concentrate their main efforts, masking their usage with “intense” firepower, making it impossible to detect and collect samples for further investigation. Since the start of Russia’s full-scale invasion of Ukraine, radiation, chemical, and biological reconnaissance units, including the Support Forces Command of the Armed Forces of Ukraine, have recorded over 4,800 instances of the use of dangerous chemical substances. This was reported by Artem Vlasyuk, head of the Department of Environmental Safety and Civil Protection of the Radiation, Chemical, and Biological Protection Command of the Support Forces of the Armed Forces of Ukraine.
Since the beginning of the year, more than 11,000 mines and large-caliber munitions have been removed from Ukrainians. The number of weapons seized by the National Police over 11 months includes over 1.6 million rounds of ammunition, nearly 15,000 grenades, 11,000 mines and large-caliber munitions, and more than 3,000 kilograms of explosives. This weaponry is confiscated by the National Police at checkpoints, during operational measures, undercover purchases, and investigative actions.
