During the day, units of the Defense Forces struck more than 20 areas of concentration of enemy manpower and military equipment, as well as 7 air defense positions.
The General Staff of the Armed Forces of Ukraine reports this on its Facebook page.
"During the day, units of the Defense Forces repelled enemy attacks in the areas of Soledar, Kurdyumivka, Zaytseve, Mayorsk, Bakhmut, Kamianka, Pershotravneve," the report says.
Meanwhile, the Air Force of the Defense Forces made 28 strikes against the enemy. The destruction of more than 20 areas of concentration of enemy manpower and military equipment and 7 positions of anti-aircraft missile systems has been confirmed.
The General Staff also reported that missile forces and artillery hit 5 control points, 12 areas of concentration of enemy manpower and equipment, 2 positions of anti-aircraft missile systems, 3 warehouses with ammunition, as well as more than 10 separate important targets.
Also, the counteroffensive of the Armed Forces of Ukraine continues, thanks to which it was possible to de-occupy almost all enemy-captured areas of the Kharkiv region.
At the same time, the enemy did not give up their intention to capture the Donetsk region. The Russians withdrew their broken units to this part of the front line. During the day, the occupiers shelled Stariy Karavan, Ozerne, Siversk, Spirne, Rozdolivka and Vesele.
Commenting on the actions of the Russian Federation, Zelensky noted: "Constant attempts of the Russian offensive on Donetsk region will probably go down in the history of wars as one of the most cynical murders of its soldiers."
