WAR ROOM
General Staff of the Armed Forces of Ukraine
The Russian enemy is focusing its efforts on fulfilling the objectives of reaching the administrative borders of Donetsk and Luhansk regions. Also, the Russian occupation Command is making every effort to keep the temporarily occupied territories of Ukraine under control.
In order to replenish personnel losses, the military commissariats in the Russian federation continues to recruit citizens to form so-called "volunteer" units, which will be involved in establishment of a kind of occupation "order" in the occupied territories. The main requirement for candidates is satisfactory health. Experience in military service is not required. In addition to that, Russian fascists are drafting people with a criminal record to their army.
Despite statements of officials from the Ministry of Defense and the General Staff of the Russian Federation regarding changes in plans and priorities, the enemy continues to increase the number of troops around the capital of Ukraine. Russian troops continue unsuccessful attempts to take positions from which they could attack or surround Kyiv.
Units of the Armed Forces of Ukraine continue to defend the city of Mariupol restraining Russian fascists from offensive actions in other regions of Ukraine. In the meantime, Russian occupiers continue to suffer heavy losses.
The temporarily captured city of Kherson is fearlessly resisting the Russian occupation. Actions of the locals are forcing Russian fascists to concentrate more and more military power in Kherson to keep the city under their control.
About 150 people from South Ossetia were transferred to the temporarily occupied territory of the Autonomous Republic of Crimea for their further participation in the war with Ukraine. The enemy is taking measures to covertly mobilize the population of the so-called South Ossetia in order to further involve it in the war with Ukraine.
Round-the-clock operation of the Russian defense-industrial enterprises involved in the production of missiles indicates a significant reduction in the arsenal of missile weapons of the enemy.
Given the international sanctions that ban the supply of high-tech parts for products of the Russian federation, the import substitution process for such parts in missile manufacturing will have a long-term effect.
Russia's military leadership is trying to build up reserves and restore the combat capability of units that suffered losses during the first month of the war.
The Defence Forces of Ukraine continue to conduct a defence operation in the Eastern, Southeastern and Northeastern directions, focusing on:
- preventing the advance of the enemy in the directions of the settlements of Slovyansk and Barvinkove;
- taking of the settlements of Kamyanka, Topolske;
- creating conditions for improving the tactical situation in the area of the city of Chuhuiv;
- deterring enemy attacks in the areas of the settlements of Rubizhne, Lysychansk, Popasna, preventing the bypass of the main forces of the group.
At the same time, the Defence Forces of Ukraine continue to maintain the circular defence of the city of Mariupol and defend and deter the advance of the enemy in the Chernihiv region.
In order to improve the operational situation and maintain the outer line of defence, the group defending Kyiv is continuing hostilities and controlling the situation in the settlements of Motyzhyn, Lisne, Kapitanivka and Dmytrivka.
Part of the Ukrainian forces continues to conduct a defence operation in other identified areas, a stabilization operation is being carried out, territorial defence tasks are being carried out and counterattacks are being carried out in certain areas.
The enemy is weakened, disoriented, much of it is cut off from logistics and the main forces.
The command of the Russian occupying forces is trying to compensate for the decline in the combat potential of the enemy's units by indiscriminate artillery fire and rocket-bomb attacks, thus destroying the infrastructure of Ukrainian cities.
