The twenty-second day of the heroic resistance of the Ukrainian people to the russian military invasion began.The state, position and nature of the actions of the defense forces have not changed significantly during the last day.

The Armed Forces of Ukraine continued to inflict devastating kicks on groups of enemy troops trying to consolidate and hold the defense of the captured frontiers.

During the past 24hrs, Ukrainian defenders destroyed the command post and support units of the 35th All-Military Army of the Eastern Military District of the Armed Forces of the russian federation, and the enemy’s losses are being clarified.

In addition, for the previous day, thanks to the skill of Anti-aircraft missile forces of the Air Force and Air defense of the Land Forces of the Armed Forces of Ukraine destroyed ten enemy air targets: two Su-34 fighter-bomber, three Su-34SM fighters, three helicopters and UAVs. Information on the type of another downed plane and the deaths of pilots is being clarified. Units of the Air Force of the Armed Forces of Ukraine continue to work actively to deprive the occupiers of aircraft of the ability to dominate the air.

The enemy, unsuccessful in conducting a ground operation, continues to launch missile and bomb strikes on the infrastructure and densely populated areas of Ukrainian cities.

The Russian occupiers continue to act insidiously in the information space – carrying out cyber attacks, physically destroying broadcast relay station of television and radio signals, continuing a mass information campaign to discredit the top military and political leadership of Ukraine and the Defense Forces.

At the same time, the enemy continues to actively spread misinformation about the course of the so-called “special operation” among its own population.

The occupying forces continue to suffer losses. They have big problems with the staffing of combat units and support units. The enemy’s personnel were demoralized, which led to an increase in the number of desertions and the refusal of servicemen of the armed forces of the russian federation to take part in the war on the territory of Ukraine.

Let’s keep the system! Let’s win together! Glory to Ukraine!
