Operational information as of 12.00 on 14.03.2022

Main tasks of defeating groups of the Armed Forces of Ukraine, reaching the administrative borders of the Donetsk and Luhansk regions, and establishing control over the left bank of Ukraine have not been fulfilled by the enemy.

Russian troops were stopped in Mykolayiv and Kryvyi Rih.

Without significant success, the enemy continues to conduct systematic combat operations with bombers in order to destroy the military and civilian infrastructure of Ukraine. Uses high-ammunition and indiscriminate action on civilians. Such actions are classified by international humanitarian law as war crimes.

In the Volyn direction, the enemy continues measures to strengthen the protection of the Ukrainian-Belarusian border by units of the Armed Forces of the Republic of Belarus, with the help of UAVs conducts air reconnaissance of certain areas along the State border.

In the Polissya direction, the Russian occupation forces continue to try to overcome the barrier along the Irpin River and gain a foothold in the area of the settlements of Bucha and Irpin. They are trying to organize defense operations. Sabotage and reconnaissance groups are being prepared for actions under the guise of servicemen of the Armed Forces of Ukraine.

The enemy did not conduct active offensive operations in the Seversky direction. Carries out regrouping in order to resume the offensive in the direction of Kyiv.

In the Slobozhansky direction, the enemy is concentrating its main efforts on restoring the losses received as a result of a decisive repulse near the city of Kharkiv and a counterattack by the Armed Forces of Ukraine near the city of Izyum.

In the Donetsk and Tavriya directions, the enemy continues to conduct active hostilities. Due to the advantage in numbers Russians are partialy success in some areas.

In the South Bug direction, the enemy is trying to continue the offensive in the direction of Kryvyi Rih. Russian regroup troops and replenish supplies on the achieved frontiers. The enemy is attempting to surround Mykolayiv.

The Russian aggressors continue to accumulate reserves on their territory to wage war against Ukraine. Detachments of mercenaries are being formed who are ready to carry out the criminal orders of Russian commanders for a reward. According to available information, mercenary recruitment centers have been opened in Syria, where more than a thousand people have been recruited in recent days, and about 400 people have already arrived in Russia. Camps for their accommodation and training have been set up near the Ukrainian border in Rostov (Russia) and Gomel (Belarus) oblasts.

The Armed Forces of Ukraine, in cooperation with other components of the Defense Forces, are holding back the enemy, inflicting significant losses on manpower and military equipment, demoralizing its personnel both in combat areas and in reserve formation areas.

The Armed Forces of Ukraine inflicted devastating blows on the rear infrastructure (field bases and warehouses) in order to disrupt the system of logistical support of the enemy in the territories of Ukraine temporarily occupied by the occupiers. During the previous day, four planes, three helicopters and unmanned aerial vehicles were hit by the Air Force of the Armed Forces of Ukraine (information on the type is being clarified).

The occupying forces did not have significant success in conducting an offensive operation in all directions. The main efforts of the occupiers were focused on consolidating and retaining the previously occupied borders.

Repeated cases of the enemy's use of civilian infrastructure, including religious sites to equip firing positions, deploy weapons and military equipment, have been reported.

The moral and psychological state of the enemy remains low, which leads to the refusal of servicemen of the rf Armed Forces to carry out the orders of the command. According to available information, a military camp of the Belhorod Military Commandant's Office is located in the city of Belhorod on the territory of the russian federation. The camp holds russian servicemen who have been discharged from hospitals after treatment and are waiting to be sent to units. Also in the specified camp there are servicemen of the Armed Forces of the russian federation who refuse to take part in hostilities, with them actions of pre-judicial inquiry are carried out.

Regarding the readiness of the Armed Forces of the Republic of Belarus to wage war with Ukraine. According to one of the high-ranking officials of the special operations forces of the Republic of Belarus, special forces of the Armed Forces of Belarus will not take part in the war with Ukraine.

 

General Staff of the Armed Forces of Ukraine

The guards of the Ukrainian sky have already shot down 77 planes and 90 enemy helicopters.

The air defense system, talked about as non-existent, saves thousands of peaceful lives every day and night. Since the beginning of the open war of the russian federation against Ukraine, as of the morning of March 14, 259 missile strikes have been carried out on our territory, and 395 cruise missiles have been fired. Those who came to us with the sword will die by the sword.

POLICY

President of Ukraine

Today, volunteers are all those who feel a free call to defend Ukraine - address by President Volodymyr Zelenskyy

I wish you health, dear Ukrainians! Good weather, which we now almost do not notice. Clear sky... There is no such thing over Kyiv today. Over Kyiv and other cities of our state. Due to missile strikes, traces of enemy aircraft. The streets are quiet, but I know, I believe it's not for long. Not forever. That's why we work. That is why we fight. That's why we don't give what’s ours.

Today we celebrate our purely Ukrainian holiday. Volunteer Day. It is our ability to instantly unite during ordeals, find common ground and fight together that creates our character, Ukrainian character.

We may not notice each other in everyday life. Agree, this happens to us. But when we see a threat to our way of life, to our spirit, when we see a threat to Ukraine, our state, we do not hesitate even for a moment. If we are Ukrainians.

We unite. We do everything to protect what’s ours. Ukrainians do not need to be persuaded to become volunteers. Ukrainians do not need to be encouraged to start helping each other. Strong support for the Armed Forces by all the people of Ukraine, sincere volunteer movement, mass joining the territorial defense, solidarity of all our people - these are the prerequisites for victory. Prerequisites for the liberation of our entire country... The only and the best.

For us, Ukraine is not just a territory, as for the invaders. They do not distinguish anything here. They do not understand anything. That is why for them everything is just a target. For us, Ukraine is millions of happy moments, native symbols, memorable places.

We feel this land. For us, Ukraine is our life, and that is why millions of people have come to the defense of our state today. That is why today we are all volunteers. All those who defend Ukraine, our children, those who defend our future.

To all who feel this free call... A call to defend Ukraine... Who are volunteers in battles. Or in the information troops. Who protects roads and cities. All diplomats - official and informal. Everyone who helps with technology. Who keeps the business. Who supplies the necessary goods, products. Who saves and heals under any circumstances. Who works in transport. Who provides communication and repairs networks. I am grateful to everyone. And I sincerely congratulate you!

Each of the volunteers. Each of the millions working together to win. The 19th day of our resistance. The Armed Forces of Ukraine are holding on bravely. And creatively. We inflict such losses on the enemy that he no longer knows where else to look for reserves. Where else to look for help.

Help for himself. Help for the invader. This is pathetic. But we have no right to relax.

The Russian state has been preparing for war for decades. They have accumulated significant military resources. For the evil. For the conquest of neighbors. And for the destruction of Ukraine, Europe, as we know it, as we value it.

That's why we have to hold on. We have to fight. To win. To come to the peace deserved by Ukrainians. Fair peace. With security guarantees for our state. For our people. And to put it on paper. In negotiations. Difficult negotiations. The video meeting of the delegations has already started today. It continues. Everyone is waiting for the news. We will definitely report in the evening.

As long as the state is at war, as long as the people are defending themselves, the economy must be preserved and restored. As much as possible in the current difficult conditions.

Life must appear on the streets of the cities. Where security allows. Where people can provide it. Pharmacies, trade, any business that can work. For the country to live. For the restoration of Ukraine to already begin. And it depends on each of us, on each of us who is able to work.

Economic suppression of Ukraine is one of the tasks of the war against us. And we have to fight back from that as well. Save our economy. Save our people.

Therefore, the government has received a clear instruction - to return small and medium-sized businesses. Remove any obstacles. Reduce taxes as much as possible, remove all difficulties, absolutely all. So that the system does not press, so that people know that they can work the way they can. Where they can.

A new tax model is needed for the war and for the post-war development. The financial rules also need to be updated. To make people feel that they can be flexible. Feel that all the money and valuables will be saved. And that you shouldn’t be afraid of losing something, because the state guarantees the security of assets and savings.

The Cabinet of Ministers is already working on how to regulate this. A day or two - and there will be details. Ukrainians! Russian troops continue to destroy our infrastructure, continue to destroy our cities. Kyiv region, Chernihiv region, Sumy region, Kharkiv, south, Donbas.

But know - we will rebuild everything. We will restore everything. Every street of every city. Every house, every apartment of every Ukrainian. After the war, I'm sure we can do it quickly. We will direct all our efforts to this. All the help of the world. We are already creating funds for Ukraine to live.

But now that the invaders are still on our land, we must beat them as best as we can. Drive them away in any way we can. Defend the cities. Defend the villages. Defend every meter of our land. And every part of our heart. Ukrainian heart. Ukrainian soul.

Help each other! Support each other! Support the defense! And protect the state!

Together we will definitely win.

Prime Minister of Ukraine

Joint Declaration by the Prime Ministers of the Republic of Poland, the Republic of Lithuania and Ukraine

On the occasion of the meeting of the Prime Ministers of the “Lublin Triangle”, we, the Heads of Governments of the Republic of Poland, the Republic of Lithuania and Ukraine:

Deplore in the strongest terms Russia’s unprecedented, brutal, unprovoked military invasion against Ukraine. We consider this premeditated attack against a sovereign, peaceful and democratic state as a blatant violation of fundamental principles of international law;

Pay tribute to the victims of war and to tremendous military effort of Ukrainian Armed Forces as well as of the entire Ukrainian nation in defense of their Homeland against this barbaric assault by the Russian Federation;

Recalling the United Nations General Assembly Resolution adopted on March 2 with the overwhelming majority, we:

demand that the Russian Federation immediately ceases all its military operations and unconditionally withdraws all its forces and military equipment from the entire territory of Ukraine within its internationally recognized borders, and returns all troops and equipment amassed at the Ukraine borders, including in Belarus, to their bases of permanent deployment;

demand that the Russian Federation immediately and unconditionally reverse the decision related to the status of certain areas of Donetsk and Luhansk regions of Ukraine;

condemn the indiscriminate use of Russia’s military force against civilians and civilian infrastructure, including schools, hospitals and residential buildings, protected under international humanitarian law.

We call upon international community to further increase pressure upon the Russian Federation, including through further expansion of strong, consistent and long-lasting sanctions policy and by massive practical support to Ukraine which has been fighting in self-defence as enshrined in Art. 51 of UN Charter;

Underline that all perpetrators of international crimes committed during this invasion must be brought to justice; and express strong support for of the International Criminal Court’s prosecutor’s decision to start the investigation. We express full readiness to provide with necessary help in this respect;

Condemn reckless and extremely dangerous attacks by Russian troops on nuclear power plants and nuclear facilities in Ukraine. Such attacks are unprecedented in world history and put the world at the brink of a nuclear catastrophe;

Call on the international organizations, in particular the IAEA and the UN to respond to Ukraine’s demands and ensure safety of nuclear facilities in Ukraine as well as ensure protection of humanitarian corridors for the evacuation of civilian population;

Condemn the involvement of Belarus in this aggression against Ukraine and call on Minsk to abide by its international obligations.

At the same time, we consider that future democratic Belarus has its place among friendly European nations and that the Lublin Triangle remains open to their representatives;

Call upon Russian and Belarusian people to speak up and demand that their governments stop this raw military aggression against neighbouring Ukraine;

Reiterate the non-recognition of the illegal annexation by the Russian Federation of the Autonomous Republic of Crimea and the city of Sevastopol as well as non-recognition of the self-proclaimed „Donetsk and Luhansk People’s Republics“ and underline our unwavering commitment to Ukraine's sovereignty and territorial integrity within its internationally recognised borders.

Emphasize that Ukraine belongs to the European family and should be offered a status of

a candidate country now, following its bid for accession to the European Union tabled by President of Ukraine Volodymyr Zelenskyy;

Underscore the need for the EU’s independence from the energy resources imported from Russian Federation as soon as possible;

Emphasize the unchanging role of the Lublin Triangle as an ever more important forum of regional cooperation in Central Europe.

Poland and Lithuania express their joint, unwavering support to the democratically elected authorities of Ukraine and the people of Ukraine, who took up the arms in order to defend the sovereignty of their country and the values of the entire free world: liberty, democracy, respect of fundamental human rights as well as the human dignity.

We express our readiness to continue providing support to Ukraine, its government and its people in this existential struggle by every possible mean including economically, by providing military equipment and humanitarian assistance.

Poland and Lithuania acknowledge the European choice of Ukraine and see it as a Member State of the EU in the nearest future. Warsaw and Vilnius underscore that Ukraine should be granted the EU candidate state status immediately and become a member of the EU through a fast-track procedure.

Together we reiterate that since 2013, Ukraine has been paying a high price, like no other European country, for its European and Euro-Atlantic aspirations and its will to consolidate its democracy by adhering to European values.

We underscore that Ukrainian refugees fleeing the war can find a safe haven in Poland and Lithuania, where they are being provided with the necessary humanitarian assistance.

Ukraine expresses its gratitude to Poland and Lithuania for unprecedented level of support and solidarity with the President, Government and the people of Ukraine in their efforts to defend Ukraine’s sovereignty and territorial integrity, for their leading role in holding Russia accountable for its brutal and inhuman invasion on Ukraine as well as for generous assistance to the citizens of Ukraine forced to flee from their homes due to Russian aggression.

Poland, Lithuania, and Ukraine appeal to our partners to undertake extraordinary measures in order to coordinate response to the growing humanitarian crisis at the European level.

As countries of the Lublin Triangle, we stand together, united by our joint heritage and common values, firmly rejecting yet another attempt of Russia, driven by its imperialistic inclinations, unacceptable in the 21st century, to force its will on a sovereign, peaceful and democratic country in the very heart of Europe by means of a military invasion.

Ministry of Social Policy of Ukraine

As of March 14, the Ministry of Social Policy had evacuated 2,274 children from vulnerable categories. These are orphans, children deprived of parental care, children in institutional care, children from foster families and family-type orphanages.

The situation with the evacuation of children from orphanages is complicated. There are still 1251 children there and only 194 children were taken to other countries.

The main difficulty is that most children in orphanages have complex diseases, complex developmental disorders and require special conditions of transportation, special transport, and appropriate medical staff nearby. This is very difficult to do during a long trip abroad. As well as the necessary care in the country where the evacuation is carried out. We are looking for opportunities to meet these needs.

ENERGY

 

Ministry of energy of Ukraine

Operation of the power system of Ukraine during March 13, 2022

Electricity

Ukraine's energy system has been operating stably under fire from Russian invaders for the 18th day in a row. The frequency in the network is maintained by Ukrainian power engineers at the level of 50 Hz.

All types of power plants work: nuclear, thermal, hydroelectric, RES. The level of consumption has stabilized.

As a result of a missile strike on the International Center for Peacekeeping and Security near Novoyavorivsk in the Lviv region, 2 high-voltage 10 kV lines were damaged, which supply electricity to several settlements. By 2.00 pm CET, electricity supply has been restored to all consumers.

Atomic generation

Ukrainian experts of NEC Ukrenergo completed repair works on the 330 kV Lisna-ChNPP line and resumed power supply to the Chornobyl NPP and Slavutych. The cooling systems of spent nuclear assemblies will again operate normally, not from backup power.

Ukraine's nuclear power plants are operating stably. The current capacity of four Ukrainian NPPs provides the necessary electricity production for the country's needs. Radiation, fire and environmental conditions at operating nuclear power plants and adjacent territories have not changed and are within current standards.

Oil and gas industry

Facilities of Ukrtransgaz - Storage Facility Operator of Ukraine's UGS network, are under heightened security and continue to operate normally, except for the Krasnopopivsky underground gas storage facility in Luhansk region (stopped due to hostilities in the immediate vicinity of the facility).

JSC Ukrgazvydobuvannya continues to produce gas at all its facilities, except for those near the line of contact.

JSC "Ukrtransnafta" and JSC "Ukrspetstransgaz" continue to work in a regular mode under martial law.

The Shebelinsky Refinery (Refinery) has been suspended for more than two weeks due to the threat of shelling.

Gas transmission system

Employees of the GTS Operator of Ukraine are working to localise the damage caused by the shelling and resume gas transportation to Ukrainian consumers.

On 13 March, 37 gas distribution stations - the last links in the gas transmission infrastructure leading to Ukrainian consumers - remain disconnected. The company's emergency crews resume gas transportation to the country's settlements as soon as possible.

In particular, in the Luhansk region, OGTSU gasmen launched the Popasna GDS, 20,000 residents of the city are again with gas. In the Mykolaiv area enemy shells damaged objects of the Operator of GTS and a network of regional gas. The Bashtanka and Prybuzke gas distribution stations were shut down. At the request of Mykolaivoblgaz the station was stopped because of destructions of the city gas distribution grids.

Ukrenergo

The power line, which supplies the Chornobyl nuclear power plant and the town of Slavutych was damaged by the occupying forces after the Ukrenergo repair crew restored the line.

Yesterday, March 13, the Ukrenergo team repaired a high-voltage power line that supplies the Chornobyl NPP and the city of Slavutych. At 18:07 CET Ukrenergo started to feed the line to restore the infrastructure of Chornobyl NPP and the city of Slavutych.

However, before the power supply was fully restored, the occupying forces damaged it again. The repair crew of NEC Ukrenergo should head to the occupied territory near the Chernobyl nuclear power plant again, to find and repair new damage to the line.

Ukrenergo emphasizes that the Chornobyl NPP is an important facility that cannot be left without a reliable energy supply. The power supply of Slavutych residents also depends on the power lines of the nuclear power plant. Therefore, unimpeded and quick access of Ukrenergo repair crews to these lines for inspections and repairs is extremely important not only for Ukrainian consumers but also for Europe as a whole.

A stable power supply will help avoid a repeat of the Chernobyl disaster and save the lives and health of people who might be affected.

Naftogaz

Our colleagues from PJSC Donetskoblgaz keep heroically performing their work. Approximately 20 m of gas pipeline sections have been replaced today. 107 houses in private sector (including one settlement) have their gas supply restored. Currently, 606 flats in high-rise buildings are cut off from gas supply.

Aviation of Russian invaders stroke a missile attack on the International Peacekeeping and Security Centre located not far from Novoyavorivsk. Casualties and wounded reported. Explosions damaged 2 high-voltage 10kV lines that supply electricity to several settlements. In order to restore electricity as soon as possible, two brigades of energy engineers of Branch Novoyavorivsk power grids have commenced repairs immediately after the end of air-raid warning. By 15:00, electricity supply has been already restored for all consumers. Branch Novoyavorivsk power grids is operating as normal supplying electricity to all consumers of the enterprise.

Ombudsman of Ukraine - since the beginning of the Russian invasion of Ukraine 79 children have been killed and about 100 wounded.

Russia plans to organize a sham “referendum” in Kherson region.

 

WAR ROOM

 

General Staff of the Armed Forces of Ukraine

Due to an unsuccessful attempt to conduct an offensive, the occupiers were forced to change tactics. Because of the significant logistical problems and stretched communications, the enemy is unable to provide its units with fuel and lubricants, food and ammunition, which encourages the occupiers to resort to looting and looting of locals, shops, pharmacies and more. In addition, the actions of the occupiers are accompanied by numerous cases of serious crimes against civilians.
Abandoned occupation units are demoralized and have an extremely low morale and psychological condition. The number of cases of attempts to return to the territory of the Russian Federation on their own has increased.

Given the heavy combat losses of personnel and problems with the recruitment of reserve units and units, the command of the armed forces of the Russian Federation involves in combat operations in Ukraine so-called "conscripts" from the territory of ORDLO and mercenaries from Abkhazia, South Ossetia and prisoners from correctional facilities of the Russian Federation.
In almost all areas of advance, the occupiers are trying to gain a foothold in the previously captured borders, but have not had much success.

The enemy continues to launch missile and bomb strikes on critical infrastructure, residential neighborhoods and airfields, cynically disregarding the rules of international humanitarian law.
In the Volyn’ direction, there is a threat of sabotage at military facilities and civilian infrastructure.
The group of defense forces continues to conduct a defense operation in the southern, eastern and northern directions, covering the state border of Ukraine and the sea coast.

The enemy carries out measures to restore combat capability and regroup troops, as well as prepares for the continuation of the offensive in the Polissya, Siversky, Slobozhansky, Donetsk, Tavriya, and South Bug areas.

Throughout the fighting on the territory of Ukraine, the enemy met with fierce resistance. It did not achieve the goal of the operation in any of the areas. The nature of the actions indicates the uncertainty of the military leadership of the russian federation in matters of strategic objectives and the ultimate goal of the so-called "special military operation".

The occupying forces inflicted heavy losses, slowed down the pace of the offensive, and stopped in the vast majority of directions. Military and civilian infrastructure continues to be destroyed. In order to compensate for the losses, the occupiers organized the training of additional forces and means for conducting hostilities on the territory of Ukraine.

The enemy did not carry out offensive operations in the Volyn direction. The military leadership of the Republic of Belarus has strengthened the protection of the border with Ukraine. There is a high probability of direct participation of the armed forces of the Republic of Belarus in the military operation against Ukraine. There is an air reconnaissance of objects on the territory of Ukraine with the help of UAVs, probably from the territory of the Republic of Belarus.
No active offensive actions of the enemy were recorded in the Polissya direction. Measures are being taken to restore combat capability and regroup troops. The enemy is trying to reconnoiter and clarify the positions of the Armed Forces of Ukraine and possible ways of attack. The occupiers continue to tax the logistics system by creating repair bases on the territory of the Republic of Belarus.
In the northern direction, the enemy focused on improving the operational construction of troops and the logistics system of the group.

In the Slobozhansky direction, the enemy carried out offensive operations in the area of settlement Izyum, further trying to move in the direction of settlement Slavyansk. After the losses received in the area of the city of Kharkiv, he withdrew to the territory of the rssian federation (Belgorod region) one of the BTGs of the 6th All-Military Army to restore combat capability. At the same time, it strengthened the groupings in this direction due to the introduction of units from the Northern Fleet.

In the Donetsk and Tavriya directions, the enemy carried out assault operations and fire raids. It does not abandon attempts to storm the city of Mariupol. The Russian occupiers are trying to prepare reserves and go on the offensive in Severodonetsk, Ugledar, and Zaporizhya. The enemy has had little success in the Volnovakha direction - it has captured the eastern outskirts and is trying to move on.

At the same time, the enemy does not refuse to attempt an offensive on Kryvyi Rih. It did not succeed. It looks for weaknesses in the defense of Ukrainian defenders. In order to increase efforts, puts into operation reserves from the Airborne Forces. In some areas, it is trying to keep the previously occupied borders.

 

Russia plans to organize a sham “referendum” in Kherson region

Tomorrow, on March 13, 2022, Russia wants to proclaim the creation of the so called Kherson People's Republic. For this purpose, buses for transportation of so-called «supporters» have already been prepared. The Russian military is actively looking for members of parliament (Kherson Region Parliament) and civil activists in order to force them to participate in the “gathering” under the threat of reprisals.

They also want to bring to downtown Kherson the prisoners from the City prison #90 and put pro-Ukrainian activists instead of them in prison. The same scenario was implemented in 2014 in the Crimea, Donetsk and Luhansk regions.

March 13, 2022 is the anniversary of the liberation of Kherson from the Nazi invaders in WWII (March 13, 1944).

At the extraordinary meeting, Kherson oblast council adopted a resolution stating that Kherson is Ukraine.

Dmytro Kuleba: Following 2014 playbook, Russians now desperately try to organize a sham ‘referendum’ for a fake ‘people’s republic’ in #Kherson. Given zero popular support, it will be fully staged. Severe sanctions against Russia must follow if they proceed. Kherson is & will always be Ukraine. https://twitter.com/DmytroKuleba/status/1502694650418810884?s=20&t=eeRUpGRJInYEhcDE62KP0A

 

The National Police of Zaporizhzhia region

The car stopped on the side of the road between the villages in Orikhiv district. Russian war criminals knocked it down by a tank. As a result, two adults died and a minor boy burned in a burning car.

Police is now identifying the bodies. The Investigative Department of the GUNP in the Zaporizhzhia region initiated criminal proceedings.

The Main Directorate of Intelligence of the Ministry of Defence of Ukraine

Now, the main task of the occupiers is to gain a foothold in the existing positions, hiding behind

the local population. At the same time, units of Putin's troops remain cut off from supplies indefinitely and have been instructed to move to "self-sufficiency" until further orders. That is, to take away everything necessary from the local population and rob warehouses, shops, pharmacies. In addition, they are accompanied by numerous instances of serious crimes against civilians: murder, torture, rape, including minors. This is a purposeful policy of terror of the occupying state, encouraged by its top leadership.

Ombudsman of Ukraine - Liudmyla Denisova

As of 1 p.m. on March 12, 2022, since the beginning of the Russian invasion of Ukraine, 79 children have been killed and 100 wounded.

 As a result of the shelling of residential buildings in the town of Pologi, Zaporizhia region, an 8-year-old girl and a boy were wounded - their legs were torn off.  The wounded children were taken away in an unknown direction by the Russian military.

 Yesterday, the Russian army fired at the mosque in Mariupol, where 86 Turkish citizens were in hiding, including 34 children. Their fate is currently unknown.

 Under the threat of execution, Russian aggressors didn't allow to render help and take to hospital the inhabitant of the village of Kandybine of the Mykolaiv area in which premature childbirth began. The local nurse online with the obstetrician-gynecologist from Mykolaiv helped the woman to give birth at her house.

 The actions of the armed forces of the Russian Federation pose a direct threat to the life and health of the entire civilian population of Ukraine - the occupiers are brutally torturing our people.  Each of these facts is a crime against humanity under the Rome Statute of the International Criminal Court.

Deputy Prime Minister of Ukraine / Minister for Reintegration of Temporary Occupied Territories

Deputy Prime Minister I.Vereschuk informed on the situation with humanitarian corridors in Ukraine.

In Sumy, we helped 800 people. In Krasnopillya, Konotop, Lebedyn, Kapisarivka - a total of about 3,000 left dangerous area.

-Zaporizhzhya oblast: Enerhodar - the corridor did not work. A convoy of humanitarian cargo left, stopped at a roadblock in Vasylivka, and the Russian occupiers did not let them pass despite the agreement. Now the column will spend the night there and leave again in the morning. Enerhodar received humanitarian aid yesterday, but it was partially stolen by the Russian occupiers, according to the administration. A request to those who distribute the cargo - do not leave it overnight; distribute everything quickly.

- Kyiv oblast. It also worked in part: Vorzel and Irpin did not work, but Bucha started working - almost 1,000 people were deported, thanks to the Ukrainian Red Cross for evacuating the home for the elderly “ComfortLife.” 600 Ukrainian citizens were evacuated from Gostomel. Kozarovichy - corridor did not work. Borodyanka - there were shellings; unfortunately, we could not reach to people; tomorrow, we will continue trying to reach out to the civilians. Nemishayevo - 1264 people were evacuated; thank you all, who helped do so.

Appeal to the Russian Federation: We demand the release of Oleksiy Ihorovych Danchenko, an employee of the State Emergency Service, who accompanied the evacuation of the population from Gostomel by bus. You have not been legally detaining our employee, who was on the agreed list for two days now.

If more than 7,000 people were evacuated yesterday, today, a little less than 13,000 were evacuated, which is encouraging.

The following routes are Luhanska and Kyiv oblast, from Zaporizhzhia to Mariupol via Berdyansk. Our column was at a roadblock for a long time (more than 5 hours) and could not get to Mariupol today.

POLICY

 

President of Ukraine

Ukraine and its citizens deserve to be in the EU - Volodymyr Zelenskyy

Promoting Ukraine's membership in the European Union is one of the important means of support for our state by European countries. This was stated by President Volodymyr Zelenskyy during a meeting with representatives of foreign media in Kyiv.

"We believe we deserved to be in the European Union. We do not need promises. We need concrete support. The best thing the government, its prime minister, can do, if we are not speaking of weapons, but speaking in the context of the EU, which also motivates us, is to say specifically that he or she stands for Ukraine being a member of the EU," the President said.

Volodymyr Zelenskyy noted that it is important for Ukraine to get an answer to this question right now. "For what reasons, why, when - no one is interested in that. We have a war today, we want to hear the answers to all the questions we ask the world today," he said.

The President also stressed the importance of all EU member states speaking out as regards this issue. “If the European Union says “yes”, then it is necessary to say “yes” specifically and everyone should say that. Do not balance between the raindrops of diplomacy, because you will be completely under the rain," Volodymyr Zelenskyy is convinced.

The Head of State noted that even in spite of the circumstances in which our state has found itself due to Russia's invasion, not all EU countries agree that Ukraine's accession to the European Union should be considered.

"I believe that Ukraine is a worthy country. And the most important thing is people. Our people have shown that they are brave, strong, European, that they will not leave anyone in trouble, which is important. They proved that they can fight. I think this only strengthens the European Union," said the President.

Address by President of Ukraine Volodymyr Zelenskyy to Italians and all Europeans (key messages:

-       Ukrainians are experiencing a terrible war in Ukraine. Europe has not seen such a war since World War II. This is a brutal and cynical Russian invasion of Ukrainian land. This is a war against the Ukrainian people - against peaceful and sincere people, whom I am sure you have known very well during the years of our independence.

-       The war is going on and thousands of people have lost their lives in it. And 79 children have died in this terrible war.

-       Russian troops besiege Ukrainian cities. They are trying to destroy them. Imagine! Entire cities! In 2022! In Europe.

-       This is a war against the values that unite us. Against our ability to live. Live, not kill like the Russian military on our land.

-       The EU has to put pressure. The sanctions against Russia are needed so that every Russian soldier knows the price of every shot at civilians. We need such principles of European business that the Russian state does not have the money to ruin lives.

-       You   know that we must be together in the European community, this is very important for you, for Europe. Because this will strengthen Europe. This will protect Europe. This will stop the war forever. Choose Ukraine. For the sake of peace!

We still need to fight and inflict maximum damage on the enemy in all areas of defense - address by the President of Ukraine

The 17th day of the war is over. War for the right to be free. For the right to live on our land the way we, Ukrainians, want it. Not the way someone came up with for us. And against us. Against our nature. Against our character.

The Russian invaders cannot conquer us. They do not have such strength. They do not have such spirit. They are holding only on violence. Only on terror. Only on weapons, which they have a lot. But the invaders have no natural basis for normal life. So that people can feel happy and dream. They are organically incapable of making life normal! Wherever Russia has come to a foreign land, dreams are impossible.

Only a very hard struggle for survival.

As a result of the attack on our land, on Ukraine, the Russian leadership is actually turning its state into an analogue of the so-called "DPR" and "LPR". Into a large area isolated from the rest of the world. Where poverty will reign. Where everything will be determined only by violence. And where people will flee. In any manner they can and whoever can.

Look who is leaving Russia now. Who withdraws business. These are professionals who can be competitive at the global market. These are IT specialists who do not want to live in an area where there is no freedom. These are businessmen who feel that everything will be taken away from them at any moment. These are artists who know that creativity in a territory where human life is worthless is also worthless.

Russia loses its brains. Loses talent. Loses money.

But if this is happening to Russia, then what awaits the so-called "DPR" and "LPR"? Their analogues? Solely complete degradation.

The invaders in the Kherson region are trying to repeat the notorious experience of the formation of pseudo-republics. Blackmail local leaders, put pressure on deputies. Look for someone to bribe. They’re trying to organize the so-called "KPR". Stillborn as "DPR" and "LPR". To organize some "committees" against the legitimate government on our land. And against the will of the people who go out to protest every day. And who want Ukraine. I am grateful to them.

I want to tell some figures who lacked the disgust to refuse to talk to the invaders... I want to say - if some of them were suddenly tempted by proposals from the invaders... You sign your sentence.

The sentence is to follow more than 12,000 invaders who failed to understand in time why Ukraine should not be encroached upon.

An emergency meeting of the Kherson Regional Council took place. 44 deputies decided that the Kherson region is Ukraine, and no pseudo-republics have a place there.

Ukraine will stand the test. We need time and strength to break the military machine that came to our land.

I will not underestimate the threat. And I will not exaggerate the achievements. We are honest people, not Russia's Ministry of Defense. Which lies to everyone - millions of its citizens and even the head of the Russian Federation. So I say frankly: we still need to hold on. We still have to fight. Every day and every night we must look for ways to cause maximum damage to the enemy. In all areas of defense. Near Zhytomyr and Kyiv, near Chernihiv and Sumy, near Kharkiv and Luhansk, near Donetsk and Mariupol, in the south of the country and on the diplomatic frontline.

Having such tactics and having self-confidence, we will regain what’s ours.

We will come to Melitopol and Henichesk. We will come wherever our land is. And let the invaders know. Let all the collaborators they find know. That Ukraine will not forgive them. Nobody. Nothing.

Ukraine will not forget. Ukraine will find and prosecute. Every single one. In any possible way.

By the way, all humanitarian corridors, which were agreed upon, worked. 12,729 people were evacuated. The humanitarian cargo for Mariupol is to arrive tomorrow afternoon. Due to the complexity of the route they had to spend the night in Berdyansk.

On every occasion, I constantly repeat to our friends and partners abroad that they should do more for Ukraine, for Ukrainians. Because it is not only for Ukraine. This is for everyone in Europe.

Evil that purposefully bombs peaceful cities... Evil that fires even at ambulances and blows up hospitals will not be able to stop at one country. If it has the strength to go further.

I said this at a very important rally in support of our people, which was organized in Europe. More than a hundred thousand people in the squares of Italy and other countries of the continent gathered for a rally in support of Ukraine and against Russian aggression.

Millions of people heard my appeal later thanks to broadcasts and recordings.

 

We now enjoy the greatest support in the history of Ukraine for our aspirations and our independence.

You can take a public opinion poll in any country and you will see that Ukraine is among the leaders of those who are sympathized with and supported.

And Russia is not just among enemies. It is even a bigger enemy, bigger evil than North Korea. That's what Americans think, for example. Ordinary people in all states. As well as ordinary people in all European countries.

And I am grateful to them for this extraordinary support. Grateful for understanding our struggle. Because we are united by one dream - to live freely on our land. And we have the right to what everyone has in the free world. To a safe sky, as well as to our own land.

The world has always loved those who fight against evil.

It was our resistance, the courage of all our people that inspired the world. Millions of people in different countries. Who 17 days ago might not have felt what they all have in common. We all have. And now it's obvious. Peace. Freedom. And love for our children. The children we are fighting for. For them to have a future.

I signed two important decrees.

On awarding 106 servicemen of the Armed Forces of Ukraine who bravely showed themselves in the battles for the independence of Ukraine. 17 of them, unfortunately, posthumously. But they are heroes.

I - the decree on conferring the title of Hero of Ukraine with the award of the Order of the Golden Star to:

Senior Sergeant Vasich Serhiy Viktorovych. Posthumously. He bravely defended our positions in the Kyiv region. Destroyed enemy equipment and a significant amount of enemy manpower.

Senior soldier Parkhomuk Vitaliy Vasyliovych. Posthumously. During the counterattack on the enemy near the city of Makariv, he inflicted significant losses on the enemy and died heroically defending his brothers-in-arms.

Soldier Svynchuk Oleh Anatoliyovych. Posthumously. He heroically performed his duty in the battle against the overwhelming forces of the enemy. He was helping his brothers-in-arms until the last moment.

Sergeant Khanin Andriy Pavlovych. Posthumously. Defending Volnovakha, Donetsk region, he destroyed an enemy tank and about 10 enemies. During the battle, when he was wounded, he helped his wounded brothers-in-arms and performed his duty to the last.

She saved more than 10 servicemen, risking her own life. She died from artillery shelling by Russian troops, helping the wounded. The first woman - hero of Ukraine, who was posthumously awarded this title.

Eternal memory to all who gave their lives for Ukraine!

The title of Hero of Ukraine with the Order of the Golden Star is conferred upon:

Senior Lieutenant Hutsul Volodymyr Oleksandrovych. Thanks to his heroic actions in the Kherson region, 25 units of enemy equipment and about 300 invaders were destroyed.

Senior Lieutenant Chornyi Volodymyr Volodymyrovych. Thanks to his skilful actions during the defense of Volnovakha, Donetsk region, about 50 enemies and a T-72 tank were destroyed, as well as 5 invaders were captured.

Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Ukraine

Dmytro Kuleba named three major victories of Ukraine on the diplomatic front:

First, our state has won the information war, because the world does not believe in Russian narratives. Russia's attempts to justify its aggression failed.

The second international victory is a change in attitudes towards Ukraine and Ukrainians in the world. In particular, according to a survey by the American sociological company YouGov, 81% of Americans consider Ukraine an ally or a friendly state.

 The third victory is undermining the Russian economy, which holds the aggressor's military machine. This was made possible by the systematic efforts of the anti-Putin coalition, which imposed devastating sanctions against Russia.
