"The thirtieth day of the Ukrainian people's heroic confrontation with the Russian military invasion has begun. The Defense Forces continue to conduct a defense operation in the Eastern, Southeastern and Northeastern directions," the statement said.
Joint forces units are conducting an ongoing defensive operation on the Donetsk, Slobozhansk and partly on Tavriia directions in the designated operational zone, focusing their efforts on preventing enemy breakthroughs. Overnight, our soldiers repelled nine attacks, destroyed twelve tanks, around 20 armoured and automotive vehicles and nine artillery systems. The enemy lost more than 200 units of personnel. In addition, air defense units shot down two planes and two enemy UAVs.
Ukrainian Air Forces units destroyed six enemy air targets: 1 plane, 1 UAV and four cruise missiles.
In addition, the Air Force patrolled the airspace, covered troops and facilities in fighters mode, and combat aircraft fired on armored vehicles, logistics centers, and enemy clusters.
In the Volyn region, the main efforts of the defense forces are focused on covering the state border. A defensive operation is underway in the Siversk region. A group of troops holds the city of Chernihiv and hinders the enemy's advance in the direction of Kyiv.
At the same time, the forces and means of defense of the city of Kyiv continue to repel the enemy's offensive, inflict fire damage on it and maintain all the defined lines of defense.
In the South, a defense operation is underway in a designated operational zone, a stabilization operation is underway, and territorial defense tasks are performed. Nevertheless, Russian terrorist forces continue to fight, knowingly violating international humanitarian law and the rules of war.
