🔹In #Kherson Direction, difficult weather conditions reduced the intensity of the AFU's combat operations. In #Krynki, our forces managed to reach the coastline. The AFU garrison is decreasing in numbers, and it has become quite difficult to replenish it. Once again there is fighting near #Peschanovka, the AFU is intensifying their attacks.

🔹In #Bakhmut Direction, our artillery is preparing to storm a landing on the hill northwest of #Bogdanovka. The main enemy forces are there. The AFU are holding on to this site. After its capture they will have to retreat from #Bogdanovka, which is located in a lowland. The next village on the way to Chasov Yar is also under fire of our artillery. #Kalinovka. To the north, our troops advanced at #Grigorovka. Further north In the #Seversk sector, our forces are entrenched in the landings near #Belogorovka, our attacks have intensified.

But it is difficult near #Terny, the AFU mortars and artillery are working from the heights, slowing down the advance of our army. In the #Kupyansk sector, #Ukraine announced the evacuation of about 26 villages in close proximity to the front.

💥Our Aerospace Forces struck #Volchansk in #Kharkov region, the target was an AFU deployment site, firing points and an ammunition depot. From this area the enemy is hitting the #Belgorod region.

🔹 Unfortunately, even today we have not learned from MoD what happened to our A-50 and Il-22 planes. Nor have we learnt the names of the heroes, the fallen and the survivors. But we heard about the planned flight over the Sea of Japan. It's important, I don't argue, but it's a shame for the guys. And the truth.
