Ukraine in brief:

The 74th day of the Ukrainian people’s heroic struggle against the russian military invasion goes on.

The enemy is relentless in pursuit of offensive actions to establish full control over the Donetsk, Luhansk, and Kherson oblasts territories and retain the over-the-land corridor between the mentioned territories and the occupied Crimea.

There has been no active enemy action in the north of Ukraine.

There has been no active offensive enemy action in the direction of Kharkiv either. The main effort of the aggressor has been focused on the prevention of the advancement of Ukrainian troops. Russian occupation troops continue shelling military and civil infrastructure.

In the direction of Izyum, the invaders have been regrouping their units, replenishing stocks to increase their offensive capacity, and carrying out air reconnaissance missions with Orlan-10 UAVs to ascertain the positions of Ukrainian troops.

For the past 24 hours, the enemy has been stepping up its combat actions to approach the administrative limits of the Luhansk and Donetsk oblasts.

In Lyman direction, the enemy has been trying to assume full control of Oleksandrivka; it has also been using artillery to strengthen its positions on the northern outskirts of Shandryholovo. The attempts have been unsuccessful. In the direction of Severodonetsk, the aggressor has been trying to capture Rubizhne with no success report. In Popasna direction, it has been attempting to take positions in the town of Popasna and take control over a section of the highway between Popasna and Bakhmut.

The intensity of firing in the direction of Mariupol has decreased.

Enemy air reconnaissance missions have been stepped up in the direction of Zaporizhzhya.

The enemy has been continuing with its administrative and police measures in the temporarily occupied territories: e.g., rosgvardia (russian national guard) units have strengthened their filtration activities in the areas of Heroiske, Hola Prystan, and Kherson.

There is a probability of offensive onslaughts launched to improve tactical positions in specific individual directions.
