Ukraine Army repels assaults in several directions, neutralizes enemy reconnaissance group
The relevant statement was made by the General Staff of the Armed Forces of Ukraine on Facebook, an Ukrinform correspondent reports.
As of 06:00 p.m., July 9, 2022, the situation remained rather unchanged in the Volyn and Polissia directions.
“In order to prevent the reconnaissance of Ukraine’s border areas with unmanned aerial vehicles, electronic warfare systems have been activated. The threat of missile and air strikes from the territory and air space of the Republic of Belarus is persisting,” the report states.
In the Siverskyi direction, the enemy used attack aircrafts to launch an air strike near Volodymyrivka, Sumy Region.
In the Kharkiv direction, Russian troops continue attempts to approach the city. The enemy tried to advance in the direction of Kochubeivka-Dementiivka with offensive actions. The Ukrainian military pushed the occupiers back to their previous positions.
In the direction of Male Vesele-Petrivka, Ukrainian defenders revealed and neutralized an enemy reconnaissance group.
In the Sloviansk direction, Russian occupiers are using artillery and trying to create favorable conditions in order to advance in the direction of Izium-Sloviansk. Russia’s combat aviation struck such settlements as Chepil and Bohorodychne.
Ukrainian defenders successfully repelled all enemy assault attempts in such directions as Dovhenke-Krasnopilla, Pasika-Dolyna. The enemy retreated, and remotely mined a road section near Velyka Komyshuvakha.
In the Donetsk direction, Russian troops are using all the available means to attack the positions of Ukrainian forces and settlements close to the contact line. The enemy launched a missile and air strike near Shumy.
Russian invaders conducted air reconnaissance with an unmanned aerial vehicle near Kramatorsk.
“The invaders also made an unsuccessful attempt to storm in the direction of Zolotarivka-Verkhniokamianske. With effective fire, our soldiers forced the occupiers to scatter through the bushes near Zolotarivka,” the General Staff noted.
In the Avdiivka, Kurakhivka, Novopavlivka and Zaporizhzhia directions, Russian troops continued shelling the positions of Ukrainian forces with mortars, cannon and rocket artillery all over the contact line. The enemy launched air strikes near Avdiivka and Novoandriivka.
With offensive actions, Russian occupiers tried to improve their tactical position in the direction of Yasynuvata-Avdiivka but failed and retreated with losses.
The enemy’s attempt to advance in the Marinka direction was also unsuccessful.
In the Southern Bug direction, Russian troops are focusing efforts to defend the captured frontiers and prevent Ukrainian forces from advancing deeper into the temporarily occupied areas.
Russian occupiers are demoralized by the total resistance of the Ukrainian people. It is becoming more and more difficult for the Russian command to replenish the units that suffer losses in the senseless war they have unleashed.
