The Russian aggressor continues to conduct strategic offensive operation against Ukraine, the press service of the General Staff of the Armed Forces of Ukraine reports.

Also, the enemy has moved to the complete destruction of critical infrastructure – carrying out artillery shelling and inflicting air strikes.

In cities and villages where there is peaceful resistance to enemy troops, the occupiers resort to looting and violence against the civilian population.

In Donetsk and Luhansk directions, the enemy tried to advance and gain a foothold, but was defeated.

There is a possibility of involving the Armed Forces of the Republic of Belarus in the war against Ukraine on the side of the Russian Federation. But a large number of personnel and some commanders of Belarus refuse to participate in military operations against Ukraine.
