The russian occupiers decided not to restore Popasna, as they had promised the people who remained in the city the day before. Starting in February, the russians wiped out Popasna, and subsequently entered the city. Loud promises had been made for several months, until the decision was made to leave everything as it is – that is, not to rebuild the destroyed city at all. This was announced by Serhii Haidai, the head of the Luhansk Regional Military Administration.
Over the past day, the russian forces carried out nine sorties of assault and army aviation aircraft. The Ukrainian military neutralized several reconnaissance groups of the russian army, and the latter’s assault operations in three directions at once also failed – the Ukrainian army forced the invaders to retreat.

Today, the Armed Forces of Ukraine attacked the Kakhovka bridge. After the strikes, this bridge over the Kakhovka hydroelectric power plant is not suitable for use. Now the Armed Forces of Ukraine keep the Kakhovka Bridge under fire control.
The occupation authorities of the Kherson Oblast announced the introduction of a permit system for the transportation of agricultural produce of the oblast. Yuriy Sobolevskyi, First Deputy Chairman of the Kherson Oblast Council, explained on his Telegram channel that this measure would put maximum pressure on farmers and force them to re-register their business under the jurisdiction of russia, and also would create another tool of corrupt influence on the agrarians of the oblast. https://t.me/SobolevskyiYurii/180
In addition, the occupation authorities are trying to quickly passportize the population of the temporarily occupied Kherson Oblast. In the temporarily occupied territories, “passports” are issued by the so-called “authorities” according to a simplified procedure. Therefore, such a “passport” does not give Ukrainians the same legal rights as russians have.
The Prosecutor General’s announced suspicion of aiding the aggressor state to an employee of Khersonoblenergo (oblast power distribution company) and the former head of the Kherson branch of Ukrposhta.

The executive committee of the Kropyvnytskyi city council allowed a local company, the name of which has not been disclosed, to place a quickly assembled shelter in the center of the city. “Each such protective object significantly increases the chances of survival for the city’s residents and forced migrants, because it effectively protects against the blast wave and missile fragments during air attacks. It is important that the manufacturer of such shelters is a regional enterprise, so the structural elements will be delivered to Kropyvnytskyi promptly,” said Oleg Kolyuka, secretary of the Kropyvnytskyi City Council.
The coordinator of the All-Ukrainian Initiative “Active Community” provided consultations to displaced persons from Donetsk and Kharkiv oblasts on obtaining documents on the status of an internally displaced person, as well as information on the available resources of employers in the regional center and surrounding communities.

Kozyatyn residents are actively involved in collecting funds for the needs of the Ukrainian military. It is even better that children join the gathering.
Almost everyone loves watermelon, but not everyone dares to grow melon crops in their garden, believing that watermelons do not grow in Podillya. Anatoliy Ogorodniychuk, who has a small melon field, proved this belief wrong.
The coordinator of the All-Ukrainian Initiative “Active Community” of the city of Khmilnyk and Khmilnyk raion, speaking with internally displaced persons, told them that from now on they could receive payments even if they lost their passports, and some of the displaced persons could receive up to 20 thousand hryvnias in monetary support.

Drohobych
The situation is calm. A plan for enhanced defense of the Drohobych raion was discussed. Specialists work every day to make the country stronger. Therefore, the army is being strengthened and becoming even more combat-ready, and the Drohobych raion is always ready to repel the enemy.
The special commission under the Drohobych raion military administration will continue to inspect the hotels of Truskavets and Skhidnytsia regarding the registration of internally displaced men who temporarily live in the raion.
