General Staff of the Armed Forces of Ukraine: The Defense Forces continue to conduct a defense operation within the Southern, Eastern and Northern Operational Zones.

In the North-Western direction, part of the defense forces is covering the state border with the Republic of Belarus. The defense operation in Polissya and Volyn operational districts continues.
In the area of the settlements of Borodyanka and Makariv, the enemy suffered significant losses during the offensive operations of the Ukrainian Armed Forces.
The city of Chernihiv has a strong defense.
The group of defense forces of the city of Kyiv keeps certain boundaries.
Russian war criminals fired missiles at a maternity hospital and a children’s hospital in Mariupol. The enemy inflicts numerous casualties on civilians and destroys civilian infrastructure.
The russian occupiers are demoralized, and the psychological state of the russian Armed Forces is rapidly deteriorating.
At the same time, units of the information warfare of the RF Armed Forces are preparing psychological actions to undermine trust in the representatives of the Ukrainian state authorities on the ground.
According to the available information, on March 8, 2022, the Armed Forces of the Republic of Belarus conducted an internal anonymous poll on their readiness to take part in hostilities on the side of the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation. The results show that the vast majority of personnel are not ready to take part in the war against Ukraine.
