Ukraine in brief:
The ninety-sixth day of the heroic opposition of the Ukrainian people to the russian military invasion continues.
In the north of Ukraine, the situation has not changed much. In the armed forces of the republic of belarus until June 4 this year, measures are underway to check combat readiness.
The enemy continues to carry out artillery shelling from the territory of the russian federation of the border areas, namely the settlements of Boyaro-Lezhachi and Makiyivka in the Sumy Oblast, and Yanzhulivka and Kamenska Sloboda in the Chernihiv Oblast.
The enemy did not conduct active operations in the Kharkiv sector. Its main efforts are focused on deterring the actions of Ukrainian units. The enemy fired at civilian infrastructure in the areas of the settlements of Odnorobivka, Udy, Ruski Tyshky, and Cherkaski Tyshky.

Fighting continues in the Bakhmut sector in the areas of the settlements of Komyshuvakha, Novoluhanske and Berestove.
In the Avdiivka, Kurakhove, Novopavlivka and Zaporizhzhia areas, the enemy is unsuccessful, trying to strengthen the grouping and make up for losses through the use of outdated and restored equipment.
During the successful offensive of the Ukrainian Defense Forces units, the enemy suffered losses and withdrew from the village of Mykolaivka, Kherson Oblast, which caused panic among the military personnel of other units of the armed forces of the russian federation.
In the Kryvyi Rih sector, the enemy fired artillery at our troops and conducted a counter-battery fight.
The russian invaders continue to suffer losses on the territory of Ukraine, which leads to a further decline in morale. The number of enemy personnel, who try in every way to avoid hostilities, is constantly increasing.
