The Russian occupiers are trying to conduct offensive actions in the Bakhmut, Avdiiv and Novopavliv directions.

This was reported in the press service of the General Staff of the Armed Forces of Ukraine.

The Russians conduct shelling of units of the Defense Forces along the contact line, carry out border fortification equipment in certain directions and conduct aerial reconnaissance.

They continue to strike critical infrastructure and civilian homes, in violation of International Humanitarian Law, laws and customs of war. 

During the day, the enemy launched 4 missile and 26 air strikes, carried out more than 27 attacks from rocket salvo systems.

Areas of more than 20 settlements were hit by enemy attacks.

The threat of new strikes and the use of attack drones remains, in particular from the territory of the Republic of Belarus.

We will remind that Zelensky proposed to create an "economic Ramstein".
