🔴Operational information by the General Staff of Ukraine's Armed Forces as of 18.00, 12 Mar 2022 regarding the Russian invasion:
🔻Due to an unsuccessful attempt to conduct an offensive, the invaders were forced to change tactics.

Due to significant logistical problems and stretched communication lines, the enemy is unable to provide its units with fuel and lubricants, food and ammunition, which encourages the occupiers to resort to looting and looting of locals, shops, pharmacies, etc. - General Staff

In addition, the actions of the occupiers are accompanied by numerous cases of serious crimes against civilians. - General Staff

🔻Abandoned occupation units are demoralized and have extremely low morale and psychological condition. The number of cases of attempts to return to the territory of the Russian Federation on their own has increased. - General Staff

Given the large combat losses of personnel and issues with the staffing of reserve subunits and units, the command of the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation engages in hostilities on the territory of Ukraine... (cont)

...the so-called “conscripts” from the territory of ORDLO (i.e. occupied parts of Luhansk and Donetsk Oblasts) and mercenaries from Abkhazia, South Ossetia, and the number of prisoners from correctional facilities of the Russian Federation. - General Staff

In almost all areas of advance, the invaders are trying to gain a foothold in the previously captured borders, but have not had much success. - General Staff

🔻The enemy continues to launch missile and bomb attacks on critical infrastructure, residential neighborhoods, and airfields, cynically disregarding the rules of international humanitarian law. - General Staff

🔻On the Volyn axis, there is a threat of sabotage at military facilities and civilian infrastructure. - General Staff

🔻Ukraine's group of defense forces continues to conduct a defense operation on the S, E, and NE axes, covering the state border of Ukraine and the sea coast. A stabilization operation is being carried out in some areas and territorial defense tasks are being carried out. - GS
