The main strikes were carried out at 5 am on cities, military infrastructure, airfields, resource depots and military control centers. According to our preliminary data, the first strike failed. That is, there are losses (in Ukraine – ed.), but they are insignificant and did not reduce the combat effectiveness of the Armed Forces and other law enforcement agencies.

As for the most important thing: is there on ground offensive? According to preliminary data, a slight incision of the enemy at a distance of up to 5 km is observed in the north of Kharkiv region, Chernihiv region, closer to Sumy, and data that need to be verified – possibly in the Volyn direction.
