The occupants of the Russian Federation have launched an active attack on the Ukrainian armed forces' bridgehead in the Kherson region after taking control of Avdiivka.
The Russian Air Force probably used Kh-69 missiles, an analog of the long-range Storm Shadow or Taurus missiles, to attack Ukraine. Such a move demonstrates Russia's readiness to use a new type of weapon.
Hackers are already actively posting Kremlin propaganda videos and photos in their account.
These assessments were voiced by two European officials attending the Munich Security Conference.
Experts say that the occupiers have taken positions in the building of the Avdiivka city council.
The AFU Commander-in-Chief Oleksandr Syrskyi decided to withdraw units from Avdiivka.
Thus, the Ukrainian air defense managed to shoot down:– 8 Kh-101/Kh-555/Kh-55 cruise missiles– 1 Iskander ballistic missile– 2 Kalibr cruise missiles– 2 Kh-59 guided missiles
— In Dnipropetrovsk region, a hit on infrastructure, no details
— In Lviv, a missile hit an infrastructure facility, also damaging a school and residential buildings. It is reported about three injured as a result of the missile strike.
"The road that led to the city is shot by the enemy completely. Now there are 926 people in the city. The city has reserves of humanitarian aid, water and medicines, although the situation in Avdiivka is very difficult," Filashkin wrote.
