So, in one of the hospitals of the city of Donetsk, about 100 wounded people arrived this week. Hospitals are overcrowded in the city of Tokmak, Zaporizhzhia region. According to information from local residents, civilians are not accepted in hospitals due to the workload of doctors and the lack of beds. Due to the low quality of medical care and the refusal of the command of the russian occupying forces to evacuate the seriously wounded to the territory of russia, the mortality rate among them exceeds 50%.

According to the updated information, the destruction of the enemy's personnel and equipment in the previous days in the Zaporizhzhia oblast was confirmed.

Among them, more than 25 have just been mobilized. Four S-300 complexes were destroyed in the area of ​​Berdyansk.

The Defence Forces successfully repelled enemy attacks in the Donetsk oblast. In particular, in the areas of the settlements of Berestove, Yakovlivka, Bakhmutske, Bakhmut, Opytne, Ivanhrad, Spirne, Nevelske, Maryinka, Bilohorivka, Terny, Novomykhailivka, and Krasnohorivka.
