RU recon by fire and first advances on the important parts of the coming frontlines — the Battle for Donbass — have begun. The expansion of the bridgehead near Izyum continues. RU forces sally out southwest and south of Izyum. A UKR Su-25 was shot down there on the 15th. To the east, RU forces have advanced along the left bank of the Oskol River the past week, and they have now reached the Lozovoye-Redkodub line. UKR forces continue to hold positions on the left bank of the Seversky Donets from Oskol, 10km east of Izyum. In the Severodonetsk agglomeration, RU forces entered Kremennaya; fighting continues in Rubezhnoye & on the outskirts of Severodonetsk. In Popasnaya, there is a slow advance deep into the city & confirmation of RU control of Novoalexandrovka (southeast) & Boguslavsky (northeast). On the southern flank, RU forces have captured Malinovka near Gulaypole. This is significant insofar as there have been almost no activities on this part of the front for the last few weeks.

Right now, Russian strikes against Nikolayev, Kharkov & Gulaypole are being reported, as well as heavy shelling across the whole Donbass contact line. This may be the beginning of the Battle for Donbass. The Ukrainian government seems convinced of this.

The Russian Ministry of Defense on the situation in Mariupol:
The situation in Mariupol has normalized. Residents of the city have been able to move freely through the streets without hiding from Ukrainian Nazi shelling. Humanitarian aid is being delivered: food, water and basic necessities. The authorities of the Donetsk People's Republic are organizing the clearing of streets from rubble and the removal of damaged Ukrainian military equipment.
All the remnants of the Ukrainian Azov Nazis, together with foreign mercenaries from the USA and European countries, are securely blocked on the territory of the Azovstal plant. Our demands to release women and children allegedly staying with them for free departure in any direction are ignored by the Nazis. The order of exit of civilians, if they are indeed there, from the territory of Azovstal for further evacuation is reported to the Nazis on an hourly basis. This information is also communicated to representatives of the Kiev regime through Deputy Prime Minister Vereshchuk.
The retention by the Azov Nazis and foreign mercenaries of civilian hostages, if there are any, proves that they are not "defenders" but utter terrorists.
In connection to this, the US State Department speaker's attempts to lie about the Nazi rabble's alleged retention of control over Mariupol are fake and direct aiding and abetting terrorists at the highest level of government. The State Department is habitually misinforming its own citizens and everyone else. Ukraine itself, its inhabitants in Mariupol and other cities, are of interest to Washington only in the profits from arms supplies and the fight against Russia at least "to the last Ukrainian", as Washington and all its satellites repeat with the help of the State Department.

The Guardian reports that many if not most of the dead civilians in Bucha were killed by artillery. The Guardian also seems to reach a specific conclusion without asking the question "who exactly was firing artillery at Bucha while it was under Russian control?".

The Ukrainian military widely used those same flechette rounds in the Donbass War, by the way. https://news.1rj.ru/str/boris_rozhin/44874
