Operational information on 18:00, 14.03.2022 regarding the #russian_invasion

The nineteenth day of the heroic opposition of the Ukrainian people to the Russian military invasion continues.

Occupying troops continue offensive operation against Ukraine.

The main goal of hostilities on the territory of our State by the enemy has not been achieved. 

Receiving repulse and incurring losses, the occupying forces are increasingly forced to turn to defense and surrender to Ukrainian defenders.

In most areas, when trying to move forward, the enemy faces resistance from the Armed Forces of Ukraine and civil resistance from the local population.

Without much success, the enemy continues to launch missile and bomb strikes by aircraft, destroying military and civilian infrastructure in Ukraine. Uses high-ammunition and indiscriminate munitions in residential areas of large cities, defiantly ignoring the rules of international humanitarian law.

Given the current situation, the invaders have strengthened the protection of the Ukrainian-Belarusian border by units of the Armed Forces of the Republic of Belarus.

The occupiers are trying to seize settlements near the city of Izyum.

The Defense Forces continue to conduct a defense operation within the Southern, Eastern and Northern Operational Zones.

The Armed Forces of Ukraine in cooperation with other components of the Defense Forces, demonstrating mass examples of heroism, courage and high professionalism, successfully destroy enemy troops.

The Ukrainian Cyber Army is a self-organized volunteer movement that involves 400,000 activists.

“Russians believe that attacks on their information structure of this magnitude could only be organized by a superpower. Probably because they did not know about the existence of our superpeople!”, Victor Zhora said.

17:43 Ihor Terekhov, the mayor of Kharkiv

Russian occupiers ruined about 600 residential buildings in Kharkiv.

These establishments are no longer subject to restoration, so people have lost their homes. Also, in Kharkiv, 50 schools and several medical institutions were bombed, including maternity hospitals.

17:24 The Director-General of International Atomic Energy Agency

The Ukrainian side told the International Atomic Energy Agency that the staff of the Chornobyl NPP no longer repairs and maintains safety-related equipment, partly due to physical and psychological fatigue after continuous operation for almost three weeks.

“211 technicians and security guards are still not relieved: they started their shift  the day before Russian troops entered the site on February 24. In addition, the regulator expressed concern about the safety of transporting personnel outside the exclusion zone established after the accident. The regulatory body has no direct contact with the staff, but it receives information from the NPP management outside the site,” the IAEA Director-General said in a statement.

17:05 Chief Directorate of Intelligence of the Ministry of Defense of Ukraine

The occupiers are deliberately destroying agricultural machinery in Ukraine. Systematic cases of such actions have been recorded in Brovary district (Kyiv region), Melitopol district (Zaporizhia region), Pryluky, Nizhyn, Novhorod-Siversky districts (Chernihiv region), in several districts of Kherson and Kharkiv regions.

Also, invaders requisitioned agricultural machinery en masse for engineering works and construction of fortifications. They use tractors for the displacement of armored vehicles. The local population in the occupied settlements is forcibly involved in these works.

On the night of March 13 in the settlements of Chupakhivka and Olenynske of Okhtyrka district (Sumy region), a targeted air-bomb attack was carried out on the places of storage of agricultural machinery. As a result of the strike, all equipment, more than 30 units, was destroyed.

Such actions of the enemy indicate the following:

⚠️The enemy is deliberately destroying agricultural machinery. It will jeopardize the sowing campaign in the spring which could lead to a humanitarian crisis in some regions of Ukraine.

⚠️Food security is threatened not only in Ukraine. Our country is one of the main suppliers of many types of crops to the markets of Europe and China.

⚠️Occupiers continue the practice of striking civilian objects. It grossly violates the fundamental principles of international humanitarian law.

The operational information as of 12 a.m. of March 14 regarding the russian invasion of Ukraine.

The nineteenth day of the heroic resistance of the Ukrainian people to the russian military invasion keeps on.

Russian occupation forces, following the criminal orders of the military-political leadership of the russian federation, continue the offensive against Ukraine.

However, to date, the enemy failed to complete its main tasks of defeating groups of the Armed Forces of Ukraine, reaching the administrative borders of Donetsk and Luhansk oblasts and establishing control over the left bank of Ukraine.

Occupation troops have been stopped in Mykolayiv and Kryvyi Rih.

Without significant success, the enemy continued bombing to destroy the military and civilian infrastructure of Ukraine. Russians were using high-power ammunition to 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 performing air reconnaissance of certain areas along the state border.

In the Polissya direction, the Russian occupation forces persisted trying to overcome the barrier along the Irpin River and gain a foothold in the area of ​​the settlements of Bucha and Irpin.

Russian troops were seeking to organize defence operations.

Sabotage and reconnaissance groups were ready for actions under the guise of servicemen of the Armed Forces of Ukraine.

The enemy did not conduct active offensive operations in the Siversky direction and carried out regrouping to resume the offensive in the direction of Kyiv.

In the Slobozhansky direction, the enemy was concentrating its main efforts on restoring the losses received from 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 kept on active hostilities. Due to the numerical advantage in some areas, occupiers retained partial success.

In the South Buh direction, the enemy was trying to continue the offensive in the direction of Kryvyi Rih. Established on the achieved frontiers, it regrouped troops and replenished supplies. It kept attempting to surround Mykolayiv.

The Russian occupiers persisted in accumulating reserves on their territory to wage war against Ukraine.

Detachments of mercenaries were being formed. They are ready to carry out the criminal orders of Russian commanders for a reward. According to available information, mercenary recruitment centres were established in Syria, where more than a thousand people had been recruited in recent days. About 400 people had already arrived in Russia.

Camps for their accommodation and training had been set up near the Ukrainian border in the Rostov (Russia) and Gomel (Belarus) regions.

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

In contrast, Russia is about the ultimate suppression of its community.

The nineteenth day of the heroic resistance of the Ukrainian people to the russian military invasion has begun.

Status, position and nature of actions of the defense forces are without significant changes. 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.

There have been cases of mass refusals by russian servicemen to “travel to Ukraine” to take part in hostilities, despite promises of “war veteran” status, additional daily allowances and higher salaries.

In the Northern direction, the enemy focused on regrouping, replenishing supplies, preparing to resume the offensive in the direction of Brovary.

In the Slobozhansky direction, the enemy is trying to gain a foothold on the achieved frontiers, regrouping troops and trying to resume offensive operations on the cities of Kharkiv and Sumy.
