In the northwest of the Black Sea, shipping is being blocked by the Russian side – according to the accusation from Kyiv. There are more details in a Ukrainian report on the military situation.
According to Ukraine, ships of the Russian Navy continue to block shipping in the north-western part of the Black Sea. This was announced by the Ukrainian General Staff in a report on the military situation published last night.
Last Saturday, Ukraine’s Maritime and River Transport Authority said 94 foreign-crewed ships and hundreds of seafarers had been blocked in the waters of Ukrainian ports since the start of the war.
The general staff report goes on to say that on land the Russian units are primarily concentrating on securing their territorial gains. There are efforts by Russian troops to advance south of the city of Izyum, probably to continue an offensive towards Sloviansk. However, they are not successful in this. The humanitarian situation in Izyum in the northeast of the country, which is besieged by the Russian army, is considered catastrophic. According to Ukrainian information, the Svyatohirsk Ascension Monastery was recently damaged in fighting in the area.
In the south, Russian units tried to move the remaining equipment after a Ukrainian attack on the Russian-controlled airfield near the city of Kherson, sources said. According to Ukrainian military information and media reports, the airfield has recently been attacked several times by Ukrainian artillery, destroying dozens of helicopters.
According to the supreme commander of the Ukrainian army, Valery Saluschnyj, two more Russian Sukhoi Su-35 and Su-30 fighter planes were destroyed on Thursday night over the Kyiv region. In total, more than ten Russian “air targets” were eliminated within 24 hours. The information cannot be independently verified.
