Ukraine briefly:

It has been the 129th day of Ukraine’s heroic resistance to the russian invasion.

Here is the operational information from the General Staff of the Armed Forces of Ukraine as of 6pm:

Towards Volyn and Polissia, units of the armed forces of belarus continue performing tasks on a rotational basis to enhance guidance of the belarusian-Ukrainian border in Brest and Gomel oblasts. Training is carried out on arranging pontoon river crossings. Yet, there are no signs of forming enemy offensive groups.

Towards Siversk, no significant changes are observed. The enemy shelled the positions of the Defense Forces of Ukraine in Bilopillia, Nova Sloboda, Studenok, and Tovstodubove.

Towards Kharkiv, the enemy defends previously occupied positions. Settlements of Chepil, Cherkaska Lozova, Ivanivka, Khrystyshche, Korobochkine, Malynivka,  Molodova, Slatyne, Velyka Babka and Zolochiv were shelled from tanks, mortars, barrel and rocket artillery.

The enemy conducted assault actions in the area of Dementiivka, yet failed and withdrew. There was an airstrike near Prudianka and Verkhniy Saltiv. Aerial reconnaissance with Orlan-10 UAVs was also conducted.

Towards Sloviansk, the enemy continues conducting the defensive. There was artillery shelling in the areas of Adamivka, Barvinkove, Dolyna, and Kurulka. Our soldiers once again successfully repelled enemy assault actions in the area of Bohorodychne.

Towards Donetsk, the enemy shelled civilian infrastructure near Ivano-Darivka and Zolotarivka. Hostilities enabled the enemy to gain a foothold near Verkhnokamianka.

Towards Kramatorsk, enemy shelling was recorded near Bilohorivka.

Towards Bakhmut, the invaders shelled our positions with mortars, barrel and rocket artillery in the areas of Kodema and Berestove where a reconnaissance battle was also conducted. Ukrainian soldiers strongly rebuffed the attack and forced the enemy to withdraw.

Towards Avdiivka, Kurakhiv, Novopavlka and Zaporizhzhia, the enemy shelled Avdiivka, Netailove, Malynivka, Novoandriivka, Novosilka, Opytne, Orikhiv, and Pavlivka with artillery of various calibers. There were airstrikes near Pavlivka. Offensive actions of the enemy in the area of Novomikhailovka were halted by Ukrainian defenders.

In the South Buh direction, the invaders continue continuous shelling of civilian and military infrastructure with barrel and rocket artillery. There was aerial reconnaissance carried out with UAVs.

As a result of Ukrainian soldiers’ actions, the enemy left the settlement of Ivanivka.

Russian troops shelled the city of Pavlograd in Dnipropetrovsk oblast, as stated in the message by the City Council of Pavlograd.

The EU condemns the missile strikes on Odesa oblast and considers them another russian war crime. The EU’s Foreign Affairs and Security Policy Office says that those responsible for these actions will be held accountable in accordance with international law. As a result of enemy shelling in Odesa oblast on July 1, 21 people were killed, including 1 child.

“The Armed Forces of Ukraine are ready for any scenarios on the northern border of Ukraine,” stresses the President’s Office. In recent days, the issue of a possible new offensive operation by the armed forces of belarus has been widely discussed. However, these rumors are nothing more than another speculation of russian propaganda aimed at spreading panic in Ukraine. According to Adviser to the head of the OP Mykhailo Podoliak, the occupiers continue practising “missile terror” of peaceful cities to intimidate people and force them to put pressure on the government to make concessions to the Kremlin.

The Center for Countering Disinformation at the NSDC of Ukraine denies some fakes about the visa regime with the russian federation. The government has not banned russians from entering our country. Now, to visit relatives, russian citizens must have an invitation from Ukraine, a valid foreign passport, a Ukrainian visa, a photocopy of passport data of the receiving party, and an amount not less than 20 subsistence minimums per month totalling UAH 52 thousand. 

Due to the difficult situation and ongoing military operations, Ukrzaliznytsia does not plan to raise tariffs for passenger transportation in 2022. The railway has become the road of life for many Ukrainians.
