The one hundred twenty-sixth day has begun of the heroic resistance of the Ukrainian nation against the Russian military invasion.

On the Volyn and Polesie Directions, verification of combat readiness of the armed forces of the republic of Belarus is ongoing. According to available information, from June 28 to July 16 of this year, military exercises with reservists are planned in the Gomel region. The exercises will address issues related to forming separate rifle battalions of territorial troops, conducting combat coordination, as well as organizing protection and defense of objects.

There remains a threat of air and missile strikes from the territory of the republic of Belarus against targets in Ukraine.

On the Northern Direction, the enemy continues to maintain up to three battalion tactical groups in border areas within the Bryansk and Kursk regions, consisting of units of the 1st Tank Army and the 20th Combined Arms Army, as well as airborne troops. The aggressor shelled positions of the Defense Forces with artillery in border areas of Sumy and Chernihiv regions.

In order to inflict fire damage on border areas of the Sumy region, the deployment of multiple rocket launchers "Grad" was observed in close proximity to Ukraine's state border.

On the Kharkiv Direction, enemy units are focusing their efforts on holding previously occupied positions. With the aim of clarifying the situation of our forces, the enemy conducted aerial reconnaissance around populated areas of Tsykuny and Kutyuzhivka.

On the Sloviansk Direction, the enemy is concentrating its main efforts on conducting assault operations with the aim of advancing to the line Bogorodichne — Krasnopolia and creating conditions for further advances towards Barvenkovo and Sloviansk.

On the Novopavlivsk Direction, occupiers moved two battalion tactical groups from Avdiivka and Bakhmut Directions.

On the Avdiivka, Kurakhiv, and Zaporizhzhia Directions, the enemy did not conduct active operations. It systematically fires artillery to tie down units of Ukraine's Defense Forces and prevent their redeployment to other axes.

In readiness to use cruise missiles in the Black Sea area are three carriers of Kalibr sea-based cruise missiles.

Our aircraft and helicopters continue to deliver air strikes against enemy concentrations of manpower and military equipment on designated axes. Occupants continue to suffer significant losses in battles with Ukraine's Defense Forces.

Together we will triumph! Glory to Ukraine!
