There was quite a lot of muscovite shelling of Kharkiv, about the same as the day before, even though it was unevenly distributed among the neighborhoods. Shopping malls and warehouses were targeted and people were injured. There were many attacks in the suburbs of Kharkiv, resulting in casualties.
Since this text is being written on Sunday morning, let me start by saying Happy Velykden to all Ukrainian Eastern Orthodox Christians. Christ has Risen!
As always, the muscovites were most active in the morning and reduced their activity in the afternoon, but the firing upon the city never stopped completely. It rained in the evening, and it was quiet in some but not all parts of the city. The ruscist shelling intensified in some areas.
Various districts of Saltivka were hit the most, especially Pivnichna Saltivka. A number of shopping malls and houses in the area were damaged once again, causing fires to start. As a result of that shelling, four people were injured, among them three policemen who were helping a woman escape from a damaged house. They also fired on the Kharkiv Tractor Plant neighborhood, Pyathatky, Oleksiyivka, and Sortyrovka. In the northwest of the city, muscovites fired on warehouses. They destroy the main warehouses to disrupt logistics and maximize losses for business and the economy. A total of six people were injured in the city during the day.
Shelling continued in the suburbs, on Derhachi and the surrounding villages of the hromada, and on Mala Danylivka. Village Slatine of the Derhachi Hromada had houses damaged and two people killed as a result of the shelling. The ruscists also fired upon the suburban area in the Chuhuiv direction, on Chuhuiv and on the village of Korobochkyne in the Chkalovsk Hromada. In the Chuhuiv district, one person was killed and another was injured.
There was also shelling of the village of Zolochiv, where five houses were damaged, as well as the village of Kalinove of the Zolochiv Hromada, where two houses were destroyed. Fortunately, none of the residents was injured. Near the village of Chornohlazivka, in the Zolochiv Hromada, a car exploded after hitting a mine and two people died as a result. Probably, one of the muscovite groups had either entered the village or conducted a sabotage and reconnaissance raid, planting the mines.
Now let’s address the liberation of the town of Slatyne and the villages of Bezruky and Prudyanka of the Derhachi Hromada. I often cover these settlements in my chronicles, and they were under our control, but rather conditionally. In other words, it was a gray area. For example, humanitarian goods could be delivered there, but the muscovite sabotage and reconnaissance groups could also get there. Actually, a very important component of the report on their liberation was the phrase “consolidated positions.” Our military reduced this gray area and pushed in the direction of Kozacha Lopan. This development can’t not bring joy.
Regional and city authorities have changed the curfew for one day, from 7 pm to 5 am, but asked for two things:
- Do not congregate en masse in churches where services will begin at 7 am
- Refrain from visiting a number of cemeteries that are in the area that can be targeted by artillery and muscovite multiple rocket launchers. Overall, there is damage and destruction at 10 Kharkiv cemeteries and at the Polish Memorial.
Personally, I would not visit churches or cemeteries. Moreover, the cemetery where my parents are buried is in a battle zone, and there is no way to get to it…
Cafes continue opening up in Kharkiv. In fact, a cat cafe called “Kytzi ta Kava” has opened, where guests are greeted by cats and kittens. A great place to spend time with 18 (!!) furry animals. And the owners of the institution are thinking about getting a pussy cat named Palyanytsia, and then… anyway, I recommend it!
More great news, also about cats. During a fire in Saltivka, rescuers rescued a white and red cat from a room full of smoke. They immediately took it outside, washed it, gave it water to drink and decided to take it with them to the unit. Indeed, humanity is a trait that fundamentally distinguishes us from muscovites. In particular, it is manifested in our love of animals.
As for elsewhere in the region, the situation is difficult. The muscovites are attacking in the Slavyansk and Barvinkove directions, but our military is holding back their attacks. The occupiers’ attempt to break through to Barvinkove was beaten back. According to the 93rd Mechanized Brigade, they have already crushed two companies of the ruscist 64th Motorized Rifle Brigade, which took part in the Bucha massacre. Also, Operational Command East is reporting that two muscovite planes (Su-34 and Su-35) and five drones were shot down in the Kharkiv region. Barvinkove’s shelling continues. In general, evacuations from the Barvinkove and Lozova areas have decreased, as the only people left there are those who do not wish to leave.
The situation in the occupied territories is as follows. In Balakliya, there is a large number of wounded and the capacity of the field hospital, which is located in a music school, is limited, so the ruscists also use a clinic in the city. In the occupied Izium, the occupiers are trying to mobilize the male population, mostly combatants from the temporarily occupied territories (the so-called “DPR” and “LPR”), but so far without success.
Also, due to heavy losses of medical personnel, muscovites are trying to mobilize doctors and medical personnel in the temporarily occupied territories (particularly in Vovchansk) to provide first aid at the front line. In case of refusal, they threaten to shoot. The situation is similar in other temporarily occupied territories like Kherson and Zaporizhzhya.
In Borivka Hromada, the occupiers are compiling “blacklists” of those who are disloyal to the occupation authorities. They are checking documents, conducting searches, and forcing men to undress in order to detect traces of weapons or tattoos which may indicate membership in military formations. Looting also thrives. The ruscists don’t even mind taking old cars, stealing an old Moskvich, for example. They do not allow agricultural workers to enter the farms, so, for example, the cows are not milked regularly, which puts those animals at risk of deteriorating health and death. The occupier administration consists of a muscovite colonel and a group of local collaborators.
Active fighting continues in the Joint Operation Forces zone. Fighting continues in the north, near Kreminna (Dibrova – Zarichne), for Rubizhne and Popasna, as well as near Sieverodonetsk. The muscovites are also attacking the entire front in the central part of the Joint Operation Forces zone, in the area of Marinka and Avdiivka, as well as in the south, in the area of Vuhledar and Velyka Novosilka. The ruscists are most active in the direction of Huliaipole.
As a result of an artillery strike by Ukrainian troops on the advanced command post of the muscovite 49th Combined Army, two generals were killed, and one was wounded and listed as being in a very serious condition, according to intelligence. Their personal details are being confirmed. Looks like our military has killed 10 generals within two months. Not a bad indicator!
The muscovites are bombarding Mariupol using aircraft and artillery of all calibers. It is very difficult for our military, but they still make raids and create losses for the muscovites. At the same time, the planned humanitarian corridor was disrupted, and people were simply stolen and taken to moscovia. By the way, it is known that some Ukrainians who were forcibly deported by the ruscists ended up in Vladivostok.
Missile strikes continue on the Dnipropetrovsk region, Mykolaiv, and Odessa. Because of a missile strike on Odessa, which was probably carried out by a Tu-95 aircraft and X-555 missiles, two residential buildings were hit. As a result eight people died, including a 3-month-old baby. Eighteen others were injured. Another horrific war crime committed by muscovites as revenge and to sow panic among Ukrainians. Some of the missiles flying to Odessa were shot down by Ukrainian air defenses and the wreckage of one of the missiles fell on a cemetery.
In the occupied territories of Kherson and Zaporizhzhya regions, the ruscists are trying to mobilize the local population to throw them like cannon fodder at our military positions. They’re paying special attention to young people. So far, these attempts have not brought the occupiers any success.
In the Kherson region, the muscovites are forcing farmers to start sowing, and the harvest will benefit moscovia. This stupid banditry and terror are in the best traditions of the Bolsheviks’ “military communism.” Meanwhile, all the stocks from warehouses and grain from granaries are exported from the Kherson region to Crimea. According to the SeaKrime monitoring group of the Center “Mirotvorets,” a significant part of this grain is then exported to Turkey (multiple ship departurese from Crimean ports have already been recorded).
It is not very quiet in moscovia. Someone fired again at a checkpoint in the Glushkovsky district of the Kursk region. It’s not unlikely that the muscovites did it themselves. The local governor blames Ukraine for this.
Today’s Darwin Award goes to the creatives from Tver who made stickers with Z-symbols and placed them around the city. But, as Kholod.Media reports, they made them badly. After being exposed to the air, the stickers faded very quickly and the tricolor of the muscovite rag turned to white, pale-blue, yellowish colors (red in CMYK is a mixture of yellow and magenta, if I’m not mistaken). In case you didn’t get it: the rag turned to a combination of white and pale shades of the colors of the Ukrainian flag. They could now be arrested for this in moscovia. Or was it another sabotage by Ukraine?
Let us believe in and help the Armed Forces of Ukraine and our defense forces! Let us support volunteers, doctors, rescuers, and public utility workers. And let us get closer to the day of our victory!
