📌 An enemy helicopter was destroyed in Mykolaiv district. Also during this time, the Armed Forces shot down 8 kamikaze drones.

📌 In Ukraine, a new type of Iranian UAV – Mohajer-6 – was shot down for the first time. The drone can carry up to 4 precision munitions. Due to the supply of weapons to russia, Ukraine deprived the ambassador of Iran of accreditation and reduced the number of diplomatic personnel.

📌 Updated map from European war experts:

The Armed Forces of the Kharkiv region advanced to the northwest and recaptured the settlements of Krymka and Oleksandrivka from the occupiers.

Fighting is going on in the area of ​​the village of Korovii Yar.

Also, Ukrainian troops are continuing their gradual offensive around the Lyman, fighting is going on for the settlement of Drobysheve.

📌 How "pseudo-referendums" are held in the occupied territories:

the crowd of tourers is only there for the camera, but where there are no video cameras, there are no people willing to vote;

the so-called bypass "commissions" accompany the military of the russian federation with weapons: in case of refusal to "vote" – they threaten eviction and physical violence;

all those whose "ballots" put a checkmark opposite "No" are immediately put on the lists of untrustworthy;

the principle "vote" for yourself and your family (!) without a passport applies, because "we already know you."

📌 According to the General Staff of the Armed Forces of Ukraine, in the Kherson and Zaporizhzhia regions, men who received a Russian passport are served with summonses.
