russians are ready to attack in eastern and southern directions, Ukrainian General Staff reports

russian troops are ready for offensive operations in the Donetsk and Tavria directions.

This is stated in the report of the General Staff of the Armed Forces of Ukraine as of 6 p.m.

"In the Donetsk and Tavria directions, according to available information, the enemy is ready for offensive action. It continues to focus its efforts on capturing certain districts of the city of Mariupol and inflicting airstrikes," the statement said.

The enemy is trying to carry out assault operations in the areas of Severodonetsk, Rubizhne and Popasna.

In addition, the russians continue to launch the systematic missile and bomb strikes on infrastructure in Kharkiv and Zaporizhzhia regions.

In the Sloboda direction, the enemy partially blocks Kharkiv. Because of the impossibility of capturing it, the russian armed forces continue to destroy the city's infrastructure with artillery.

In the Volyn, Polissia, and Siveria directions, the enemy units didn't take active action. The russian occupiers are moving individual units in certain directions.

In the Pivdennyi Buh direction, the enemy conducts air reconnaissance in order to identify units of the Ukrainian Armed Forces.

The General Staff also reports that separate units of the 103rd, 109th, 113th, 113th, 125th, and 127th Motorized Rifle Regiments are active in combat operations in parts of the south-eastern regions of Ukraine. They were recruited during the forced mobilization of men from the temporarily occupied territories of the Donetsk and Luhansk regions.

Structurally, these regiments number up to 5 battalions numbering about 300 servicemen in each. At the same time, only 5-10% of the personnel have combat experience. The regimental department consists of officers of the Armed Forces of the russian federation. These groups have significant problems with the provision of weapons, ammunition, and medicine.
