    Ministry of Defence of Ukraine, posted 11 September 2023 06:55

    Day 565 of the russian full-scale military aggression against Ukraine has begun.

    The Ukrainian Defense Forces continue to conduct defensive operations in the east and the offensive operation in the south of Ukraine. As they destroy the enemy, they liberate the temporarily occupied territories and consolidate new positions.

    Last night, the russian federation launched yet another missile and air strike on Ukraine. Information on the aftermath of this terrorist attack is currently being updated.

    During the day of September 10, there were more than 30x combat engagements. The enemy launched 5x missile, 87x air strikes, 44x MLRS attacks at the positions of Ukrainian troops and civilian targets in various settlements. The occupiers also attacked Ukraine with 33x Shahed-136/131 kamikaze drones, 26x of which were intercepted by Ukrainian air defense. The russian terrorist attacks caused destructions or damage to more than 100x private homes and other civilian infrastructure.

    The following settlements were hit by enemy air strikes: Kostyantynivka (Sumy oblast), Vesele, Ohirtseve, Synkivka, Kyslivka, Kotlyarivka (Kharkiv oblast), Novoselivske, Novojehorivka, Bilohorivka (Luhansk oblast), Spirne, Khromove, New York, Avdiivka, Staromaiorske (Donetsk oblast), Mala Tokmachka, Novodanylivka, Robotyne (Zaporizhzhia oblast), Burhunka (Kherson oblast), Pervomayskyy Island, Zmiinyi Island.

    About 100x settlements in Chernihiv, Sumy, Kharkiv, Luhansk, Donetsk, Zaporizhzhia, and Kherson oblasts came under enemy artillery fire.

    Volyn and Polissya axes: no significant changes.

    Sivershchyna and Slobozhanshchyna axes: the adversary continues to maintain a group of troops safeguarding the state border. The enemy troops conduct active subversive activities in the border areas in order to prevent the deployment of our troops to threatened axes.

    Khortytsia operational-strategic group, Bakhmut axis: the Defense Forces have partial success in the vicinity of Klishchiivka (Donetsk oblast), pushing the enemy out of their positions and consolidating the new positions; fierce fighting continues. In addition, the occupants made unsuccessful attempts to break through the defense of the Armed Forces of Ukraine in the vicinities of Orikhovo-Vasylivka, Klishchiivka, and Kurdyumivka (Donetsk oblast).

    Tavria operational-strategic group, Avdiivka, Maryinka, and Shakhtarske axes: the Ukrainian Defense Forces have the initiative to hold back the enemy, conduct assault operations, and win back Ukrainian land. For instance, the Ukrainian defenders are successfully holding defenses in the vicinities of Keramik, Avdiivka, Sjeverne, Maryinka, and Rivnopil (Donetsk oblast), where the enemy made about 20x unsuccessful attempts to force Ukrainian troops out of their positions during the day of September 10. All enemy attacks resulted in significant losses in manpower and equipment for the occupiers.

    Melitopol axis: the Ukrainian Defense Forces continue their offensive operation, inflicting significant losses in manpower and equipment on the occupation forces, and consolidating their positions.

    Kherson axis: the Ukrainian Defense Forces continue to conduct counter-battery fire, destroy supply depots, and successfully strike behind the enemy lines.

    Due to the catastrophic losses of the occupiers, a massive forced mobilization is expected to begin shortly. It will cover both russia and the temporarily occupied territories of Ukraine. According to various estimates, the number of people to be mobilized could range from 400 to 700 thousand. It is noteworthy that about 40 thousand residents of the Chechen Republic are also planned to be drafted, who are likely to be used as “barrier units” behind russian troops. At the same time, the planned numbers of mobilized among the population of Moscow and St. Petersburg remain minimal yet again. Ordinary citizens – residents of russian regions – will once again go to the front as “cannon fodder” and be pushed to their deaths by Kadyrov’s executioners. Therefore, virtually the only way for the russian military to survive is to voluntarily surrender to the Ukrainian Defense Forces.

    During the day of September 10, the Ukrainian Air Force launched 11x strikes on the concentrations of troops, weapons, and military equipment of the enemy.

    Missile troops hit 8x artillery systems of the adversary.

    Support the Armed Forces of Ukraine! United we will be victorious!

    Glory to Ukraine!
