Members of the 71st Separate Jaeger Brigade of the Air Assault Troops of the Armed Forces of Ukraine eliminated Russian invaders near Bakhmut in Donetsk region.
The defense of Bakhmut is likely a strategically sound effort of the Ukrainian troops, despite the focus on this relatively insignificant operational direction of significant forces and means to deter the aggressor.
Russia will highly likely face significant difficulties in recruiting personnel and equipping new military units with weapons and equipment during the planned reorganization of the armed forces, which includes an increase in their number to 1.5 million troops.
Near the village of Liubomyrivka, Mykolaiv region, a car blew up after it drove over a land mine. Four people were injured, including a three-week-old baby.
President Volodymyr Zelensky has stated that every day Ukraine loses people whom Ukrainians will always remember and regret they are not coming back, but the Ukrainian authorities are doing everything to remove this war from the Ukrainian land.
It is extremely difficult to track the movement of captured Ukrainian service members in the territory of the Russian Federation or in the temporarily occupied Ukrainian territories.
