    Day 569 of the russian full-scale military aggression against Ukraine has begun.

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

    During the day of September 14, there were 25x combat engagements. The enemy launched 2x missile, 59x air strikes, 56x MLRS attacks at the positions of Ukrainian troops and civilian targets in various settlements. Also, during the day of September 14, the occupants attacked Ukraine with 22x Shahed-136/131 kamikaze drones, 17x of which were intercepted by Ukrainian air defense. Unfortunately, the russian terrorist attacks have killed and wounded civilians. The attacks destroyed or damaged port infrastructure, private housing, and other civilian infrastructure.

In the course of assault operations, Ukrainian forces took Andriivka (Donetsk oblast), inflicted significant losses in manpower and equipment on the enemy, and consolidated their new positions.

    Tavria operational-strategic group, Avdiivka and Maryinka axes: the adversary conducted unsuccessful offensives in the vicinities of Lastochkyne and Avdiivka (Donetsk oblast). There, during the day of September 14, the enemy made about 10x unsuccessful attempts to force Ukrainian units out of their positions. In addition, all of the enemy attacks in the vicinity of Maryinka (Zaporizhzhia oblast) resulted in significant losses in both manpower and equipment for the occupiers.

    Shakhtarske axis: the Ukrainian Defense Forces maintain the initiative, put pressure on the enemy, conduct assault operations, and win back Ukrainian land.

    Melitopol axis: the Ukrainian Defense Forces continue their offensive operation, inflicting significant losses in manpower and equipment on the occupation forces near Verbove (Zaporizhzhia oblast).

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

    During the day of September 14, the Ukrainian Air Force launched 10x air strikes on the concentrations of troops, weapons, and military equipment of the adversary.

    The Ukrainian missile, artillery, and unmanned aerial systems troops hit 1x command post, 3x anti-aircraft missile systems, 5x artillery systems, and 1x ammunition depot.
