To your attention — operational information from the General Staff of the Armed Forces of Ukraine as of 06.00 on September 14, 2022 regarding the Russian invasion of our country.

Glory to Ukraine! The two hundred and third day of heroic resistance against Russia's military aggression has begun.

The enemy continues to concentrate efforts on attempts at full occupation of the Donetsk region, maintaining occupied territories, and breaking up active actions of our troops on certain fronts.

Shelling of positions of our units along the line of contact is ongoing. The enemy tries to use measures for redeployment of its forces on certain axes and conducts aerial reconnaissance. There remains a threat of air and missile strikes against the entire territory of Ukraine.

The enemy has not ceased attacks on civilian housing and infrastructure, violating international humanitarian law, laws and customs of war. As a result of airstrikes, missile strikes, and shelling with multiple rocket launchers, more than 33 populated areas have been affected, including Kharkiv, Lozova, Severodonetsk, Bakhmut, Verkhnyokamyanske, Sverdlovsk, Yuryivka, Zaitseve, Vesele Dolina, Novy York, Pervomaisk, Kamianka, Vremivka, Stebneve, Kostromka, White Spring, and Mирне.

Over the past day, Russian occupiers carried out three missile strikes, 33 air raids, and conducted 58 shelling attacks with multiple rocket launchers on military and civilian objects in Ukraine.

On the Volynian and Polesian fronts, there have been no significant changes.

On other fronts, the enemy has shelled infrastructure with tanks, mortars, and artillery, namely:

on the Severodonetsk front — in the areas of the populated places Senkivka Chernihiv region and Stebneve Sumy region;

on the Kharkiv front — Basove and Kupyansk;

on the Kramatorsk front — Yaremivka, Tetianivka, Raiyhorodok, Severodonetsk, Bakhmut, Kriva Luka, Spirene, Verkhnyokamyanske, Dronivka, Hryhoriivka and Zvanivka;

on the Bakhmut front — Yuryivka, Novy York, Mykolaivka, Mykolaivka Second, Zaitseve, Sverdlovsk, Bakhmut, Bakhmut Second and Yakovlivka;

on the Avdiivka front — Mariinka, Krasnogorivka, Pervomaisk and Novomykhailivka;

on the Novopavlivka front — Velyka Novosilka, Novodonytske and Vremivka;

on the Zaporizhzhia front — Novopol, Hulyaypole, Zaliznychnye, Chervone;

on the Southern Buzka front — Tavriyske, Mирне, Ternevy Podi, Partisanivka, Red Valley, White Mountain, Novogrednove, Bezimenne, Dry Spring, White Spring, Olhynne, High Pole, Kamyane.

In addition, the enemy constantly conducts aerial reconnaissance with drones.

Russian occupiers are quartered in local residents' homes in populated areas of Chersonesky district of Kherson region and sometimes evicting owners from their homes.

The Russian army suffers significant losses daily and tries to compensate for them in various ways. Military leadership continues to search among those willing to fight among prisoners, including in colonies of Tula region. Recruiters promise convicted individuals the removal of sentences in exchange for service for a term of three months, while repeat offenders or those sentenced for particularly serious crimes will serve six months. However, no contracts with volunteers are signed. Also ongoing is recruitment so-called «reservists» into the 3rd Army Corps. Among already recruited personnel, there is a large number of people who have drug and alcohol dependencies. Additionally, problems with uniting units with manpower are evidenced by the fact that forced mobilization has been carried out in Gorlovka city, local so-called «military boards» received orders together with «police» to recruit up to 6 thousand people until September 19. In the city, searches and arrests of men are ongoing, which in turn causes mass dissatisfaction among locals.

Defense forces successfully repelled enemy attacks in the areas of populated places Spirene, Mayorivka, Otradivka, Vesele Dolina, Vodyane, Avdiivka, Bezimenne and Novogrigorivka.

During the day, to support ground formations' actions, aviation of the Defense Forces carried out 12 strikes on enemy concentrations of manpower and equipment.

In addition, air defense units of our troops on various fronts destroyed two enemy aircraft (Su-25 and Su-24M), one Mi-8 helicopter and a drone.

Rocket forces and artillery units inflicted damage to nine points of brigade and battalion-level command and three areas of manpower and equipment concentrations. Losses of Russian occupiers are being clarified at the moment.

This is our land! Together we will liberate it! Glory to Ukraine!
