The Russian occupiers continue to put pressure on the local population of the temporarily occupied territories of Kherson Region, who refuse to cooperate with the occupation authorities. In addition, the invaders are concerned about the pro-Ukrainian attitude of the citizens of the region, which poses a threat to them.
In some settlements of the Melitopol District of the Zaporizhzhya Region, the enemy is carrying out filtering actions. During the inspection, the occupiers pay special attention to phones, looking for confirmation of cooperation with the Defence Forces of Ukraine.
Following the available information, one of the Russian units, that operate in the vicinities of Novopavlivka and Volnovakha (Donetsk Region), ordered civilian uniforms with "Rosneft" and "Elektrostal" logos for its personnel. Apparently, the enemy is trying to hide the affiliation of its personnel with the Russian occupational forces for a certain purpose.

At the same time, our defenders shot down 1 enemy Su-25 attack jet and 1 Orlan-10 UAV.
