Ukraine in brief:
The heroic opposition of the Ukrainian nation to the russian military invasion has been going on for a hundred days.
No indication of formation of offensive groupings have been detected in the Volyn and Polissia sectors. The threat of missile strikes from the territory of the republic of belarus remains.
In order to clarify the location of the positions of the Ukrainian troops, the enemy conducted reconnaissance using UAVs in certain areas of the Sumy and Chernihiv oblasts. Russians launched a missile air strike in the area of the settlement of Krasnopillia, Sumy Oblast, and fired mortars in the area of the settlement of Mykhalchyna Sloboda, Chernihiv Oblast.
In the Slobozhanshchyna sector, the enemy is concentrating its main efforts on holding back the advance of our troops in the direction of the State Border of Ukraine. The enemy continued to fire on the units of the Defense Forces of Ukraine using aviation, tube artillery, multiple rocket launchers, mortars, and tanks.
In the Kharkiv sector, the russian invaders continue to organize their defenses and destroy civilian facilities in the city of Kharkiv. They launched an air strike by Mi-8 helicopters on the positions of Ukrainian troops in the areas of the settlements of Slatyne and Dementiivka.
In the Sloviansk sector, the enemy was preparing to resume the offensive, concentrating a grouping of up to twenty battalion tactical groups. In order to improve the tactical situation, russians tried to conduct an offensive in the directions of the settlements of Barvinkove and Sviatohirsk, but had no success.
The enemy was concentrating its main efforts in the area of Severodonetsk. Under cover of artillery fire, the occupiers conducted assault operations in residential areas in the eastern part of the city. They had partial success, and active hostilities continue. The enemy led the offensive in the directions of the towns of Bakhmut, Soledar, and Lysychansk. It had no success, and retreated to previously held positions. The enemy tried to take control of the left bank of the Siverskyi Donets River and create conditions for its forcing by the main forces of the grouping. In the Lyman sector, the occupiers used multiple rocket launchers and tube artillery in the areas of the settlements of Shchurove and Brusivka.

In the Kherson and Mykolaiv oblasts, the enemy is on the defensive, in some areas trying to regain lost positions. Occupiers carried out artillery fire and intensified the conduct of aerial reconnaissance.
Forced mobilization of civilian population continues in the temporarily occupied territory of the Donetsk Oblast. Threatening criminal liability, the command of the occupying forces is trying to make up for the losses of units they suffered in the fighting against the defenders of Ukraine.
According to available information, the command of the armed forces of the russian federation is taking measures to intensify reconnaissance, sabotage and subversive activities on the territory of Ukraine. For this purpose, mercenaries are recruited and trained to form sabotage and reconnaissance groups with their subsequent activities on the territory of Ukraine. Preference in the implementation of this selection is given to residents and former residents of the Donetsk and Lugansk oblasts, who are fluent in the Ukrainian language.
