Armed Forces of Ukraine

The advance of Russian forces in the northern Kharkiv region was successfully halted by Ukrainian forces, according to Michael Carpenter, a representative of the US National Security Council, in a televised interview. Carpenter highlighted the high number of Russian casualties and emphasized that their objectives were not met.

As reported by Kyiv Independent, fierce attacks on Crimea, where the Russian Black Sea Fleet is stationed, were carried out during the night, and that report was accompanied by information about several explosions that reverberated on that occupied peninsula.

At least four people were killed and nine were wounded in Russian strikes on the southern Ukrainian city of Kherson, the governor of the region said.
An air threat was announced in the Mykolaiv, Kirovohrad and Dnipropetrovsk regions of Ukraine, as well as in parts of the Kherson and Zaporizhzhia regions that are controlled by Kyiv.

Now it is worth asking the question - why Barnes is going so urgently, asked the journalist of "Asia Times" Steven Bryan, who also gave the answer to that question - because Ukraine is going to implode.

Fierce fighting is taking place in Donbass. Avdeevka, Bahmut, Peski, Marinka are under attack. Moscow announces that its forces have occupied strategically important places in the Donetsk region.
