The Russian offensive in Ukraine has been mostly stopped by the defenders in all directions. The aggressors are attempting to restore combat capability and regroup troops to try to restart the offensive in Kyiv, Chernihiv, Kharkiv, Donetsk, Zaporizhia and Mykolayiv regions.

Russian fascist forces met with stiff resistance by Ukrainian defenders. Losses to troops and equipment are substantial. No operational goals have been achieved. Cogent military leadership is absent from all aspects of the enemy offensive.

The enemy undertook no offensive operations north of the Ukrainian capital – in Kyiv, Chernihiv and Sumy oblasts. Instead, the Russians focussed on gaining a foothold in previously occupied positions and trying to reestablish stable supply lines from Belarus.

In Kharkiv region, the enemy moved south to the city of Izyum, trying to move onwards in the direction of Slovyansk. After severe losses at Kharkiv, a battlegroup of the Russian 6th Army was withdrawn to Belgorod region, Russian Federation.

In Donetsk region the invaders tried to storm Mariupol from a suburb to the east, fired artillery and tanks at civilian infrastructure, and looted and hijacked a humanitarian convoy that tried to reach the city.

Russian fascist forces are trying to prepare reserves and go on the offensive to take Severodonetsk, Vuhledar and Zaporizhia. The enemy has had little success in the Volnovakha direction - it has captured the eastern outskirts and is trying to move on.

The Russians attempted an offensive north from Kherson towards Kryvyi Rih. It failed after finding no weakness in Ukrainian defences to exploit. The enemy threw reserves from the Airborne Forces into this fruitless battle.
