In the Volyn and Polissia directions, there is an increase in operational and combat training activities carried out while checking the reaction of the belarusian armed forces. The threat of missile and aviation strikes against Ukrainian infrastructure facilities from the territory of belarus remains.

In the Siverskyi direction, the enemy continues to cover a section of the Ukrainian-russian border in the Bryansk and Kursk regions. The russians also fired mortars at the positions of defense forces in the Sumy region. This is stated in the morning report of the General Staff of the UAF on the 95th day of the heroic confrontation of the Ukrainian nation with the russian military invasion.

In the Slobozhanshchyna direction, the russians are systematically shelling defenders to prevent their further advance in the direction of the Ukrainian state border.

In the Kharkiv direction, the enemy focused its main efforts on maintaining the occupied frontiers and deterring units of the Defense Forces. Russian troops fired on civilian infrastructure in the areas of Cherkaski Tyshky, Ruski Tyshky, Petrivka, and Ternova. They continue remote mining activities in possible directions of the Defense Forces' operations. 

In the Sloviansk direction, the enemy did not conduct active combat operations but intensified reconnaissance. The primary efforts were concentrated on holding the occupied positions and creating conditions for resuming the offensive. It was replenishing losses and supplies. 

In the areas of Husarivka, Velyka Komyshuvakha, Bohorodychne, Sviatohirsk, and other points, the russians conducted artillery shelling of civilian infrastructure. Army aviation continued air strikes near Dovghenke.

The enemy is conducting offensive operations in the Donetsk direction. It actively uses the forces and resources of missile troops and artillery and electronic warfare. It has increased the intensity of operational-tactical and army aviation.

"On the Lyman direction, it strengthens the grouping. Used attack aviation near Dibrova. It is trying to gain a foothold near Lyman," the General Staff noted.

In the Severodonetsk direction, the russians, supported by artillery, carried out an assault near the Severodonetsk, and fighting continues. In the area of Bobrove, the enemy suffered losses and retreated to previously occupied positions. Attack aviation forces carried out airstrikes near Ustynivka.

In the Pivdennyi Buh direction, as a result of offensive actions by Ukrainian units, the enemy suffered losses and took up defensive positions in disadvantageous areas near the village of Kostromka. It is taking measures to restore lost positions by deploying reserves in threatening directions.

The russian occupants fired at civilian infrastructure in the areas of Lyman, Stepova Dolyna, Luch, Partyzany, Chervonyi Yar, Trudolyubivka, and other settlements.

To make up for losses, the enemy is reinforcing the group with decommissioned outdated weapons and military equipment, in particular, T-62 tanks and BMP-1 tanks.

The situation has not changed much in the Bessarabian direction. Restrictive measures are taken in the Transnistrian region of Moldova, the inspection of infrastructure, transport, and citizens is strengthened, and control over the use of vehicles equipped with special equipment is strengthened.

"The enemy continues to take casualties. This includes medical losses, which necessitate the creation of additional opportunities for the provision of medical care. Thus, in the temporarily occupied territory of the Autonomous Republic of Crimea, the occupation administration has ordered to stop receiving civilians to free up beds for the wounded. The collection of donor blood is being intensively carried out," the General Staff noted.

In the past 24 hours, seven enemy attacks were repelled in the Donetsk and Luhansk directions during which one tank and six enemy vehicles were destroyed. Anti-aircraft defense units destroyed Orlan-10 UAV. The enemy has losses in other areas as well.
