According to the Ukrainian army, it held back and slowed down attacks by Russian units in several places. In the north of the country, Russian troops have been stopped from advancing into the city of Chernihiv, according to a report by the Ukrainian General Staff published on Facebook.
Around the city of Kharkiv in the east of the country, Russia is continuing its attempts to blockade the city from the north - these are still unsuccessful. The Army's claims cannot be independently verified.
According to the General Staff, the weather conditions in the theaters of operation on the Black and Azov Seas have forced ships of the Russian Navy to return to their bases. In the south, the occupiers also tried to gain control of the city of Mykolayiv and develop an offensive towards Zaporizhia and Kryvyi Rih, the report said. The Russian troops were stopped and suffered heavy casualties.
