"The enemy did not carry out offensive operations in the Kharkiv direction. The occupiers' units moved to the defense to slow down the pace of the offensive of our troops.
In the Sloviansk direction, the main efforts of the enemy were focused on creating conditions to resume the offensive. Enemy units continued to replenish supplies of material and technical means to increase offensive capabilities. In the vast majority of the temporarily occupied territories of the Kharkiv region, to prevent the transfer of information about the movement of russian troops, the occupiers are suppressing the cellular network. Locals in many settlements remain without electricity and water. Entering the territory controlled by Ukraine by the russian occupiers is prohibited," the statement said.

The situation on the northern borders with Belarus has not changed. Measures of engineering equipment for defense positions along the state border in Brest and Gomel oblasts are underway. Meetings involving conscripts are being held in Brest and Grodno oblasts. The threat of air and missile attacks from the territory of Belarus remains.
In Chernihiv and Sumy regions, the enemy continues to carry out enhanced border protection in the Bryansk and Kursk regions.
