“The strategic tasks of defeating the Ukrainian Armed Forces, reaching the administrative borders of the Donetsk and Lugansk regions and establishing control over the left-bank part of Ukraine remain unfulfilled. Partially, the enemy managed to temporarily occupy settlements and establish control over communication routes in the Donetsk and Yuzhnobuzh operational regions,” the report says..

It is noted that the occupiers are trying to take measures to build up groupings of troops in the direction of Kyiv by moving disordered and incapacitated units from the Central and Eastern military districts..

“Due to the consumption of almost the entire missile ammunition and some types of ammunition, the military-political leadership decided to transfer the enterprises of the Russian military-industrial complex involved in the production of Kalibr SLCMs and ammunition in the Smerch MLRS to a round-the-clock mode of operation,”.

Units of the Russian occupation forces do not carry out active offensive operations in the Slobozhansky and Sumy directions. The occupiers do not abandon their attempts to capture the city of Izyum, in the Luhansk region they intensified hostilities near the village of Rubizhne.

“In the Taurida direction, the enemy is trying to establish a tough administrative and police regime in the temporarily captured settlements of the Kherson region. No active actions of Russian occupiers were noted in the Yuzhnobuzhsky direction. The enemy continues shelling civilian infrastructure, building up the group's logistics support system,"
