Russia’s attacks on Ukraine

In total, the enemy launched 1 missile and 79 air strikes, fired 52 times from multiple launch rocket systems at the positions of Ukrainian troops and populated areas. Unfortunately, Russian attacks resulted in civilian casualties. Multi-storey and private buildings, as well as other civilian infrastructure, were destroyed and damaged.

Situation in the key frontline areas

Over the last day, 95 combat engagements took place. The operational situation in eastern and southern Ukraine remains difficult.

In the northern areas of Ukraine bordering Belarus, the operational situation has not changed significantly. No signs of the formation of offensive groups were detected. Certain units of the Belarusian armed forces are performing tasks in the areas bordering Ukraine.

In the northeast, where Ukraine borders the Russian Federation, the enemy maintains a military presence, conducts sabotage and reconnaissance activities, shells settlements from Russia’s territory, and increases the density of minefields along the state border of Ukraine. About 30 settlements of Chernihiv, Sumy and Kharkiv regions were subjected to artillery and mortar attacks.

In the Kupyansk sector, Ukrainian defenders fended off two attacks near Tabaivka, Kharkiv region, where the enemy unsuccessfully tried to break through the defense. About 10 settlements came under artillery and mortar fire, including Sinkivka, Petropavlivka, and Berestove in the Kharkiv region.

In the Lyman sector, Ukrainian forces repelled three attacks near Bilohorivka, Luhansk region, and Rozdolivka, Donetsk region.

Russia launches mass drone attack over Ukraine as Kyiv continues war cabinet reshuffle:

Russian forces launched 45 drones over Ukraine Sunday in a five-and-a-half-hour barrage, officials said, as Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy continued the reshuffle of his war cabinet as the war enters its third year.

In a statement, the Ukrainian air force said it had shot down 40 of the Iranian-made Shahed drones over nine different regions, including on the outskirts of the country’s capital, Kyiv.

The five-and-a-half-hour attack targeted agricultural facilities and coastal infrastructure, officials for Ukraine’s southern defense forces wrote on Telegram.

They said that a strike in the Mykolaiv region had injured one person, sparking a fire and damaging nearby residential buildings.

Another person was injured in Ukraine’s Dnipropetrovsk region when a blaze broke out due to falling debris from a destroyed drone, said the head of the region’s military administration, Serhiy Lysak.

Border police in Moldova also said Sunday that fragments of a “Shahed-type drone” were found near the southern town of Etulia close to the border with Ukraine, but that the debris posed no danger to communities nearby. “There is a suspicion that the detected drone debris is one of the drones shot down by the Ukrainian anti-aircraft system,” the border police said in a statement, referencing overnight attacks launched on Friday by Russian forces on Ukraine’s Izmail region.

The distance between Etulia and Izmail is about 40 kilometers (25 miles) as the crow flies. Authorities said access to the impact site has been restricted. Moldovan President Maia Sandu responded to the incident by saying in a post on the social media platform X, that “Russia’s war on Ukraine hits close to home in Moldova — again.” “The discovery of Shahed drone debris in southern Moldova today serves as another stark reminder of the grim reality we face,” she said. “Russia’s aggression endangers the entire continent. Support for Ukraine must continue.”

The strikes come as Zelenskyy continues his shakeup of military commanders in a bid to maintain momentum against attacking Russian forces.

Kyiv announced Sunday that former deputy defense minister Lt. Gen. Alexander Pavlyuk would become the new commander of Ukraine’s ground forces.

The post was previously held by Col. Gen. Oleksandr Syrskyi, who was named Thursday as the replacement for Ukraine’s outgoing military chief, Gen. Valerii Zaluzhnyi.

New presidential decrees also named Yurii Sodol, the former head of Ukraine’s marine corps, as the new commander of Ukraine’s combined forces; Brig. Gen. Ihor Skibiuk as commander of Ukraine’s air assault forces; and Maj. Gen. Ihor Plahuta as commander of Ukraine’s territorial defense forces. —>READ MORE HERE
