The seventy-seventh day of Ukrainian people's resistance to the military invasion of Russia continues. In the last 24 hours, the defenders of Ukraine successfully repelled 15 enemy attacks on the territory of Donetsk and Luhansk regions: 1 air defense system, 9 tanks, 3 artillery systems, 25 armored vehicles, 3 pieces of special equipment, and 3 enemy vehicles were destroyed.
The invader continues a full-scale armed aggression against Ukraine without stopping offensive operations in the Eastern Operational Zone to gain full control over the territory of the Donetsk and Luhansk regions and maintain a land corridor between these territories and the occupied Crimea, the General Staff of the Armed Forces of Ukraine reports.
The enemy focused the main efforts of aviation on supporting units in the eastern operational zone: in the Slobozhanshchyna and Donetsk directions, as well as near Azovstal.
The enemy continues to use artillery practically along the entire line of contact. There remains a high probability of delivering missile strikes on civilian and military infrastructure throughout Ukraine.
The probability of sabotage operations at the facilities of the chemical industry of Ukraine with the subsequent accusation of divisions of the Armed Forces of Ukraine is not ruled out.
