The two hundred sixty-sixth (266) day of the heroic resistance of the Ukrainian people to a russian military large-scale invasion continues.

The enemy is trying to restrain the actions of the Defence Forces in certain directions and continues to equip defensive lines on the left bank of the Dnieper. At the same time, it does not stop offensive operations in the Bakhmut, Avdiivka and Novopavlivka directions.

Over the past 24 hours, Ukrainian soldiers have repelled attacks by russian invaders in the areas of Bilohorivka, Kurdyumivka, Novokalynivka, Vesele, Avdiivka, Pervomaiske, Vodyane, Novomykhailivka, and Vremivka settlements in the Donetsk oblast.

Over the past day, the russian federation launched a massive missile attack on the military and civilian infrastructure of Ukraine. Residential buildings of citizens and objects of critical infrastructure in Kyiv, Zhytomyr, Vinnytsya, Poltava, Lviv, Khmelnytskyi and other regions of our country were affected.

The enemy fired more than 90 Kh-101 and Kalibr missiles and more than ten attack UAVs. According to detailed information, 77 cruise missiles, 10 Iranian attack drones "Shahed-136" and one UAV "Orion" were destroyed by the units of the Defence Forces. Additional information is being clarified.
