The three hundred sixteenth day (316) of the Russian large-scale invasion continues.

To maintain the offensive potential and replenish losses, the enemy continues to carry out mobilization measures.

During the day, the enemy carried out 8 airstrikes and carried out more than 10 MLRS attacks.

The threat of enemy air and missile strikes on critical infrastructure objects remains throughout the territory of Ukraine.

The main efforts of the russian occupiers are focused on attempts to completely capture the Donetsk oblast within the administrative border. They are conducting offensive operations in the Bakhmut and Lyman directions.

The enemy is unsuccessfully trying to improve the tactical position in the Kupyansk and Avdiivka directions. In Novopavlivskyi, Zaporizhzhia and Kherson directions it is on the defensive.

There are no significant changes on the Volyn, Polissya, Siverskyi and Slobozhanskyi directions. There were no signs of the formation of enemy offensive groups. At the same time, the invaders are shelling the positions of our troops and civilian objects along the entire contact line.

In the Kherson direction, the enemy does not stop terrorizing the civilian population. Civil infrastructure and civilians in Chornobayivka and Kherson were hit by the artillery shelling.

The military-political leadership of the russian federation is taking measures to prevent the mass departure of men of conscription age abroad before the next wave of mobilization, which is expected in January of this year. A complete ban on crossing the state border for men of conscription age is not excluded.

Forced passporting of the population in the temporarily occupied territories of Luhansk oblast continues. Thus, banking institutions in the occupied region require passports of the russian federation to issue payment cards.

During the day, the Ukrainian aviation made 15 strikes on enemy concentration areas, as well as 3 strikes on the positions of its anti-aircraft missile systems.

At the same time, our defenders shot down an enemy Su-25 aircraft and a Mi-8 helicopter.

Units of missile troops and artillery of the Defense Forces of Ukraine fired at the area where the occupiers' manpower and military equipment were concentrated.

Support the Armed Forces! Together we will win!

Glory to Ukraine!
