On March 11, during an attempt to evacuate from the village of Peremoha (Baryshivka area, Kyiv region) to the village of Hostroluchcha along an agreed “green” corridor, the occupiers shot a column of civilians, consisting exclusively of women and children.
The result of this brutal act – seven dead people, one of them is a child. The exact number of injured is currently unknown.
After the shooting, the occupiers forced the remnants of the column to return to the village of Peremoha and did not let them out of the village. At present, it is almost impossible to establish contact with them, as well as provide humanitarian and medical assistance.

18:35 General Staff of the Armed Forces of Ukraine: Operational information as of 18.00, 12.03.2022.
The seventeenth day of the heroic resistance of the Ukrainian people to the Russian military invasion continues.
Due to an unsuccessful attempt to conduct an offensive, the occupiers were forced to change tactics. Due to significant logistical problems and stretched communications, the enemy is unable to provide its units with fuel and oil, food and ammunition, which encourages the occupiers to resort to looting of locals, shops, pharmacies and more. In addition, the actions of the occupiers are accompanied by numerous cases of serious crimes against civilians.
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, the command of the armed forces of the russian federation involves in combat operations in Ukraine so-called “conscripts” from the territory of the Russia-occupied parts of Donetsk and Luhansk oblasts 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 attacks 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. A stabilization operation is being carried out in some areas and territorial defense tasks are being carried out.

With the consent of Russian President Vladimir Putin, the Russians are preparing two scenarios for the Chernobyl terrorist attack. The first is an attempt to blow up a nuclear waste repository. The second one is to set fire to forests in the exclusion zone, which will lead to similar consequences—the spread of radiation.
This was announced by the Head of Intelligence of Ukraine, Kyrylo Budanov.
13:34 The Center for Countering Disinformation
The Center for Countering Disinformation warns of a powerful wave of disinformation produced by the enemy.
Kherson is the only large Ukrainian city that has been under temporary Russian occupation since the beginning of the war. Russian propaganda actively “works” with the minds of the local population, and through its agents in Kherson spreads among the citizens of Russia false messages that discredit the actions of the Ukrainian authorities:
🔺 “Kherson has been left”;
🔺 “Ukraine does not need Kherson”;
🔺 “Ukraine has left the civilian population without means of existence”.
But in fact, this is not the case. Ukraine will never leave the people of Kherson in trouble. Against the background of the situation at the front, the Ukrainian army is reckless to start fighting within the city, sacrificing civilians. Ukraine appreciates the efforts of the local population, which, despite the temporary occupation of Russia, goes to rallies in support of Ukraine.
13:34 The Main Directorate of Intelligence of the Ministry of Defense of Ukraine
Units of Putin’s troops remain cut off from supplies indefinitely and have been instructed to move to “self-sufficiency” until further orders. That means the permission to take away everything necessary from the local population and rob warehouses, shops, drugstores.

13:26 In a video address, Volodymyr Zelenskyy, Ukrinform reports, calls on world leaders to demonstrate their influence on the situation and help free Melitopol Mayor Ivan Fedorov from Russian aggressors captivity.
“Throughout the night and today, we are constantly talking to partners about this situation with our mayor. The demand is simple – to release him from captivity immediately. We appeal to all world leaders who speak to Moscow. France, Germany, Israel and others. I have personally already called German Chancellor Olaf Scholz. He spoke with French President Emmanuel Macron. I will talk to everyone who needs to release our people. We expect the leaders of the world to show how they can influence the situation, how they can do a simple thing—to release one person. A person who represents the entire Melitopol community. Ukrainians who do not give up, “Zelensky said.

“In the morning, the Ocheretyn and Avdiivka communities came under fire. The Russians fired on the Avdiivka direction from the Point-U and Grad installations. We are establishing the consequences of the shelling. Kamianka was shelled in the Ocheretyn community. Fortunately, there are no civilian casualties, but there are damaged homes. In addition, the shells cut off a high-voltage power line, leaving Troitske, Novobakhmutivka, Novoselivka and Oleksandropil without electricity.”
12:43 General Staff of the Armed Forces of Ukraine

The enemy continues its offensive against Ukraine.
Having suffered losses in the Polissya, Siversky, and Pivdennobuzhsky directions, it stopped at the previously reached frontiers, regrouped troops, restored the combat capability of his units, and replenished its reserves.
Failing to achieve its goals, it attempted to launch missile and bomb strikes on critical infrastructure.
The enemy did not conduct offensive operations in the Volyn direction. The military leadership of the Republic of Belarus is taking measures to strengthen the protection of the border with Ukraine. The possibility of direct participation of the armed forces of the Republic of Belarus in hostilities against Ukraine on the side of Russia remains.
No active actions by the enemy have been recorded in the Polissya direction. After significant losses, the Russian occupiers are seeking to restore combat readiness and regroup troops.
In the northern direction, the enemy carries out engineering equipment of positions in the areas of Mykhailo-Kotsyubynske, Levkovychi, Zhukotka, Hrodna (Chernihiv region).
In the Slobozhansky direction, the occupiers failed to resume offensive operations.
The enemy has established itself in the northern part of the city of Izyum, does not abandon attempts to capture it.
In the Donetsk and Tavriya directions, the main efforts of the occupiers were focused on capturing the cities of Mariupol and Severodonetsk. The enemy captured the eastern outskirts of Mariupol.
After an unsuccessful assault on the village of Rubizhne, the occupiers retreated to settlement Capytolivka.
In the Volnovakha direction, the enemy is trying to develop an offensive in the direction of settlement Krasna Polyana.
According to available data, the occupying forces that attacked in the Donetsk operational area met with strong resistance from the Armed Forces of Ukraine and lost offensive capabilities.
In the South Bug direction, the enemy doesn’t leave attempts of restoration of offensive actions for the encirclement of Mykolayiv.
In support of the offensive, the invaders tried to deploy units of missile forces and artillery and air defence. They were unsuccessful. The enemy retreated to the area of the village of Mylove, carried out engineering equipment of occupied positions and drew up reserves.

The occupiers have killed 79 Ukrainian children since the beginning of the war. Almost 100 children were injured.
Most victims were in Kyiv, Kharkiv, Donetsk, Sumy, Kherson and Zhytomyr regions.

So far, more than 280 educational institutions have been smashed, 9 of them are completely destroyed. 7 million children were deprived of the opportunity to study due to active hostilities on the territory of Ukraine and the deliberate destruction of educational institutions.
