The thirty-fifth day of the heroic resistance of the Ukrainian people to the Russian military invasion continues.
The Russian enemy continues to conduct full-scale armed aggression against Ukraine. Some units of the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation are being partially withdrawn from the territory of Kyiv and Chernihiv oblasts.
The Russian enemy has significant difficulties with usage of combat equipment removed from long-term storage. Thus, according to available information, a significant amount of inoperable equipment was found in the 163rd Tank Regiment of the 150th Motorized Rifle Division. The Russian enemy is considering the possibility of transporting inoperable equipment to the temporarily occupied territories of the Donetsk region with the help of tractors, for its further restoration.
The enemy continues to suffer significant losses. According to the available information, on March 28, a farewell ceremony with the fallen Russian servicemen took place at the permanent location of the 83rd separate assault brigade. Their number is approximately 200 people.
The self-proclaimed leader of the republic of Belarus continues to deny participation in the war against Ukraine, freely providing territories for the Russian Armed Forces, airfields, and transport networks, as well as locations for cruise and ballistic missile launchers. At the same time, in accordance with international legal acts, an aggressor can be considered "a country that provides its airspace, its territory for strikes on a third country."
The republic of Belarus also provides the Russian occupiers with the opportunity to use the network of medical institutions on its territory. So, during the last days of the settlement of Narovlya in the Gomel area arrival from the territory of Ukraine of a large number of the Russian military men with various degrees of wounds is noted.
The threat of using missile weapons on the objects of the defense-industrial complex and logistics infrastructure of our State remains. In the Black Sea are ships equipped with cruise missiles naval base "Caliber". The replenishment of the Caliber anti-aircraft missile system on the Admiral Makarov frigate has been completed at the Sevastopol naval base.
Additional units of the armed forces of the Russian federation are being relocated to Ukraine to take part in the war.
According to the available data, the vast majority of conscripts of the Eastern Military District remained in the permanent deployment points of military units and subdivisions, which indicates the exhaustion of opportunities for the formation of additional units.
To control the temporarily occupied territories of Southern Ukraine, the enemy is trying to create military-civilian administrations and has begun preparations for a referendum on a quasi-state entity in the Kherson region (the so-called "Kherson People's Republic").
In the Volyn direction. In the areas of the settlements of Pinsk, Luninets of the Republic of Belarus, units of the airborne troops of the armed forces of the Russian Federation were recorded, which were probably withdrawn from the territory of Ukraine.
The planned regrouping of units of the Eastern Military District continues in the Polissya direction. These units are expected to move to other areas.
The enemy did not take active action in the northern direction. The occupiers have focused on sabotage and reconnaissance activities and continue to take measures to establish logistics. In the near future, it is expected that the fire on Ukrainian units will intensify in order to ensure the movement of their troops, with the further task of blocking the city of Chernihiv.
In the Slobozhansky direction, the enemy continues to block Kharkiv, conducting artillery shelling of the city. Carries out the movement of artillery units in the area of the city of Izyum, creates strike groups, in particular from the previously withdrawn troops.
In the Donetsk direction, the main efforts of the occupiers continued to focus on taking control of the settlements of Popasna, Rubizhne, as well as the capture of the city of Mariupol.
The enemy tried to carry out assault operations in the areas of Popasna, Rubizhne, Novobahmutivka, Marinka, and Zolota Niva. He was not successful.
In Mariupol, the occupiers continue to carry out assault operations. Attempts are expected to launch an offensive in the directions of Kramatorsk and Pokrovsk, as well as to concentrate efforts in the direction of Svitlodarsk.
In the South Bug area, the enemy is taking measures to restore combat capability and replenish supplies.
Units of the Defense Forces restored control over the settlements of Orlove, Zagradivka, and Kochubeyevka.
In order to restore the previously lost position, the enemy is trying to conduct offensive operations in the direction of Alexandrovka.
According to available information, the command of the armed forces of the Russian Federation with the beginning of the armed aggression against Ukraine lost several military leaders from among senior officers, namely: Commander of the 1st Panzer Army Lieutenant General Serhiy Kisel, removed from office; Commander of the 6th General Army Lieutenant General Vladislav Yershov, removed from office and arrested; Chief of Staff - Deputy Commander of the 35th All-Military Army, Major General Sergei Nirkov, was seriously wounded; Chief of Staff - Deputy Commander of the 36th General Army, Major General Andrei Seritsky, was seriously wounded; Deputy Commander of the 41st All-Military Army, Lieutenant General Andriy Sukhovetsky, died; Commander of the 49th General Army Lieutenant General Yakov Ryazantsev, died; Commander of the 58th All-Military Army, Lieutenant General Mykhailo Zusk, was removed from office and arrested.
