Situation in the sky

The Ukrainian military attacked nine localities in the Belgorod Region of Russia with more than 30 drones over the past 24 hours.

In addition, the Ukrainian Armed Forces (UAF) launched a missile strike on Crimea. According to unconfirmed information, several Storm Shadow missiles and four MALD (decoy) missiles were shot down during the attack.

In the Saratov Region of Russia, an industrial enterprise caught fire due to falling debris from downed UAVs.

In the Sea of Azov, the UAF attempted to create an environmental disaster by hitting an oil tanker in the port of Berdiansk.

In response, Russia launched massive strikes on military facilities in Ukraine’s rear areas within a few hours. Explosions occurred in the Kiev, Dnipropetrovsk, Kirovograd, Mykolaiv, Poltava, Sumy, Kharkiv and Cherkasy regions.

In Chasov Yar, Ukrainian military positions were scorched to the ground by the TOS-1A Solntsepyok multiple rocket launcher with thermobaric warheads.

Counter battles are also taking place near the villages of Staraya Sorochina, Makhnovka and Bondarevka.

Elizavetovka and Vozdvizhenka have been cleared, and fighting is going on for Baranivka. On the western flank, Russian units are desperately trying to get to Kotlino. Russia has transferred additional reserves here. The intensity of the battles along the line Solyonoye-Novovovasilievka- Uspenovka is not subsiding.

The UAF have retreated to the Andreevka-Yasenovoye line, but the they are not yet hungry for shells. There is approximate parity in drones, with Russian units having an advantage in manpower.

In the Zaporizhzhia direction, the Ukrainian army attacked the port of Berdyansk with a guided missile. There were no casualties. The hotbeds of fire formed as a result of the incoming attack were extinguished. The strike was aimed at one of the oil product storage tanks.

On the diplomatic front, Volodymyr Zelensky arrived at the Ramstein airbase (Germany), where he officially spoke in favor of sending foreign military personnel to Ukraine. On the same day, the French media reported that the Ukrainian politician had bought a villa on the “billionaires’ island” in the Caribbean Sea. The 436-square-meter property was bought by Zelensky’s Cypriot offshore company Aldorante LTD for 17.8 million euros through a front person, Svetlana Pishchanskaya (Zelensky’s childhood friend). Now an underground bunker is being built there. The contractor is a local company Mancar.
