Russian occupiers continue to exert psychological and physical pressure on the civilian population of temporarily occupied and seized territories. In particular, in the city of Enerhodar in Zaporizhzhya region, Russian occupation forces forced nearly 3000 workers of the Zaporizhzhya AES to obtain so-called Russian passports. By threatening businesses with fines and confiscation of property, they have removed Ukrainian hryvnia from circulation in the city. The number of occupied residential premises has significantly increased, which were abandoned by forcibly displaced residents.

Due to non-fulfillment of the recruitment plan for territorial defense forces in Belgorod region, local police were involved in the recruitment campaign. Officers are visiting apartments and houses, conducting a census of male population of conscription age and holding discussions on popularizing military service.

Ukrainian aviation carried out one strike against an area where occupiers were concentrated during the past day, while our units of rocket forces and artillery inflicted fire strikes on four areas where enemy troops and military equipment were concentrated as well as two of his ammunition depots.
