Russian occupying forces still attempt to continue the offensive in all directions. To do this, they are taking measures to form reserves in the Russian Federation. A significant part of Russian units are restoring their combat capability.

The enemy is trying to establish logistical support for units conducting hostilities.

The invaders continue to conduct air reconnaissance of Ukrainian positions in the Donetsk, Tavriya, Southern Bug and Bessarabian operational districts.

"In order to involve the Republic of Belarus in the war against Ukraine, the enemy is resorting to provocative actions. According to available information, Russian Air Force aircraft struck settlements on the territory of the Republic of Belarus near the state border of Ukraine. As a disguise, the Russian Federation carried out an attack from Ukrainian airspace," the General Staff said.

The General Staff stressed that the Armed Forces of Ukraine, in close cooperation with other components of the security and defense sector, give a decent rebuff to the occupiers, causing him significant losses in manpower and military equipment.

"The morale of the enemy is extremely low. They are demoralized, and in some directions the occupiers surrender," the General Staff added.
