The aircraft of the Ukrainian defense forces launched 16 airstrikes against the positions of Russian invaders and one strike against the position of the enemy's anti-aircraft missile system on Monday, February 20.

According to Ukrinform, the General Staff of the Armed Forces of Ukraine said this in a Facebook post.

"Throughout the day, the aircraft of the Defense Forces launched 16 strikes on the occupiers' military personnel and equipment concentration areas and hit the enemy's anti-aircraft missile system in a firing position," the report reads.

According to the General Staff, the aggressor on Monday launched three missile and 22 air strikes. Also, the enemy used multiple launch rocket systems more than 30 times.

The threat of further Russian air and missile strikes on Ukraine remains high.

The enemy continues to focus its main efforts on conducting offensive operations in the Kupiansk, Lyman, Bakhmut, Avdiivka and Shakhtarsk areas.

According to the General Staff, the aggressors continue force Ukrainian citizens living in the temporarily occupied territories of the Kherson region to receive Russian passports. In particular, the so-called "authorities" in Skadovsk and Kalanchak, threatening to seize personal property, demand that the process of obtaining Russian passports be accelerated and that movable and immovable property business be reregistered under Russian legislation. Pensioners without a Russian passport are threatened with being left without pension payments. As a result, local residents experienced social tension and fear of losing their property and business.
