Glory to Ukraine! The three hundred seventy-seventh day of Russia's large-scale invasion has begun.
Main efforts of the occupiers are concentrated on conducting offensive operations on the Kupyansk, Lyman, Bakhmut, Avdiivka and Shakhtarsk directions. Over the past day, Ukrainian forces repelled more than 140 attacks by the enemy.

In particular, during air raids, the enemy used 11 unmanned aerial vehicles of the "Shahed-136" type, nine of which were shot down. The occupiers also conducted 59 rocket artillery attacks, including on populated areas. There is a high probability that missile strikes will be carried out across all of Ukraine's territory.
On the Volynian, Polesian, Northern and Slobodian directions, formations for offensive groupings have not been detected. During the past day, areas around populated places Senkivka and Karpyvychi in Chernihiv Oblast; Starikove, Holishivske, Pavlivka, Volfinne and Grabovske in Sumy Oblast as well as Veterinarnoe, Strilecha, Krasnoe, Terova, Ogireve, Vovchanske and Budarki on the Kharkivshchina were shelled.

To achieve certain goals regarding the issuance of Russian passports, occupiers continue to exert pressure on residents of Zaporizhzhia Oblast. In some populated places, since January 1st, people who do not have a passport of a citizen of the Russian Federation cannot receive financial payments, including salaries. Payments must be made exclusively through cards from Russian banks.
To ensure their military personnel, in temporarily occupied Luhansk, Russian occupiers decided to use part of the city's polyclinic as barracks. Two-tier beds for individual accommodation have already been brought into the premises. At the same time, management of the medical facility must resolve a number of issues regarding staff placement and patient reception.
The aviation of the Armed Forces carried out 15 strikes on areas where occupiers are concentrated as well as an attack on a surface-to-air missile system at a firing position.
In addition to unmanned aerial vehicles "Shahed-136", during the past day, our defenders shot down an enemy Su-25 aircraft and eight drones of various types.
Subunits of rocket forces and artillery struck a command post, eight areas where occupiers are concentrated, two anti-aircraft defense systems of the enemy, an artillery subunit at firing positions, an ammunition depot and a radar station of the occupiers.
Support our Armed Forces! Together we will win! Glory to Ukraine!
