Ukraine in Brief:

The 73rd day of the Ukrainian people’s heroic struggle against the russian military invasion goes on.

No active enemy action has been registered in the north of Ukraine. The threat of missile and bomb strikes on infrastructure facilities in Ukraine from the territory of belarus remains.

In the Kharkiv Oblast, the enemy has been using artillery pieces to shell the areas of Prudianka and Slatyne.

Due to an offensive by Armed Forces of Ukraine (AFU) units, the enemy lost control over the population center of Tsyrkuny.

In the Donetsk and Luhansk oblasts, the enemy has focussed its main efforts on taking under full control Rubizhne and preparing for an offensive on Lyman and Severodonetsk. It has continued shelling and missile and bomb strifes in individual directions, used for this tactical operational air force. In the Mariupol direction, the enemy has continued blockading Defense Force units in the area of Azovstal Mill. It is carrying out assault action with the support of artillery and tanks.

There has been no active enemy combat action in the direction of Zaporizhzhya. The aggressor, supported by air fire, attempted offensive action towards Poltavka, Zaporizhzhya Oblast, but sustained losses and was forced to retreat to previous objectives. AFU units in the area of Polohy, Zaporizhzhya Oblast, have successfully inflicted fire damage to the enemy destroying some of its arms and military equipment. The enemy personnel fled their positions.

In the Mykolayiv Oblast, the enemy is in defense mode, striking military and civil infrastructure facilities with missiles. The invaders are sustaining substantial losses in fights against AFU units: e.g., more than 100 wounded paratroopers from russia’s airborne force have been discovered in Burchak.

City mayor points out that according to preliminary estimates, the russian aggression will leave the municipal budget short of about a third of receipts. In absolute numbers, this makes more than 20 billion Hryvnias. A temporary installation calling putin to shoot himself has been installed near the former monument to lenin in the downtown area of Kyiv.
