The thirtieth day of the heroic resistance of the Ukrainian people against the Russian military aggression is ongoing.

The Russian Federation continues to conduct a full-scale armed aggression against Ukraine. The enemy continues to deliver systematic rocket-bombardment and air strikes on critical infrastructure, government buildings, and residential areas in Ukrainian cities.

Occupation groupings are conducting redeployment and, likely, concentrating their main efforts on carrying out an offensive operation in the Eastern Operational Zone.

Partial withdrawal of enemy units from the Polissya and Northern directions is observed. At the same time, the enemy is preparing to move additional units (reserves) of the eastern military district for conducting combat operations on Ukrainian territory.

On the Volyn direction, units of the armed forces of the Republic of Belarus are carrying out measures to strengthen the protection of the Belarus-Ukraine border.

On the Polissya direction, the enemy did not conduct offensive operations. The main efforts of the occupiers are aimed at defending previously occupied positions, redeployment and withdrawal of troops into the territory of the Republic of Belarus for restoration of combat readiness. To ensure the retreat of their units, the enemy is laying mines in local areas and infrastructure objects, using artillery.

Units of the Armed Forces of Ukraine have restored control over populated points Demidiv, Dimer, Lytvinivka, Hryhoriivka, Kozarovychi, Zhovtenne, Glibivka, Yasnogorodka, Talakun, Sukholochcha, Lypivka, Havronshchyna, Makovyshche, Mykolaivka, Khmilna.

On the Northern direction, the enemy continues to block the city of Chernihiv. At the same time, movements of troops from the Central Military District towards areas located at a short distance from Ukraine's state border are observed.

Throughout the day, the enemy conducted combat actions towards populated point Mala Komishuvaha. The enemy is halted; it has no success.

It is likely that the enemy will strengthen its occupation grouping on the Izium direction at the expense of separate units of the 1st Tank and 20th Combined Arms Armies.

On the Donetsk direction, the enemy continues to conduct fire impact and assault actions on certain directions. Continues delivering air strikes against populated points.

Main efforts are focused on taking control of populated points Popasna and Rubizhne, as well as establishing full control over the city of Mariupol.
