The Russian army continues to advance along the entire front line. Of particular concern is the location of missile systems along the state border from the side of the Republic of Belarus, in particular at the Zyabrovka airfield. Commander-in-Chief of the Armed Forces of Ukraine Valery Zaluzhny told about this in a telephone conversation with the Chief of the Defense Staff of the Canadian Armed Forces, General Wayne Donald Ayro.

Zaluzhny noted, in particular, that the enemy makes about 700-800 shelling of Ukrainian positions daily, using from 40 to 60 thousand ammunition.. The most tense situation is now in the direction of Avdiivka-Peski-Maryinka. Nikolaev, Kharkov, Manganets, Nikopol, Bereznegovatoe suffer most from enemy shelling.

" In the conditions of heavy hostilities, we feel a shortage of teaching staff, because everyone who can hold a weapon and know how to fight is in combat formations,"

As reported, on the afternoon of August 16, the Russian military attacked the Zhytomyr region.

The occupiers hit the military airfield with two guided missiles X-59.
