Ukraine Defense Ministry

The forty-sixth day of the heroic resistance of the Ukrainian people to a russian military invasion continues. A russian federation continues its full-scale armed aggression against Ukraine

A russian enemy is trying to complete preparations for an offensive in eastern Ukraine. Measures are underway to regroup, increase the management system and logistics of russian enemy troops. The russian occupiers are moving battalion tactical groups from the Eastern and Central military districts to the Belgorod, Voronezh and Kursk regions bordering Ukraine.

There are no significant changes in the position and activity of the russian enemy’s troops in the Volyn, Polissya and Siversky directions.

In the Slobozhansky direction, the russian occupiers continue to partially block the city of Kharkiv. They do not stop trying to break through the defense of Ukrainian troops in the area of ​​the city of Izyum, they are investigating possible directions for further action.

It is possible that the enemy will increase its efforts in the direction of Slovyansk, part of the forces – in Barvinkovo. There is a possibility of intensification of hostilities for the city of Kharkiv.

The russian enemy has a number of problems in the logistics of the Western Military District. This is the lack of spare parts, certain types of artillery ammunition, as well as the imperfection of the system of storage and supply of logistics.

In the Donetsk and Tavriya directions, the russian enemy is concentrating its main efforts on taking control of the settlements of Popasna, Rubizhne, Nyzhne, and Novobakhmutivka. The russian occupiers do not stop trying to take full control of the city of Mariupol.

In order to strengthen the air defence system in the Donetsk direction, the russian occupiers moved a division of the S-350 Vityaz medium-range anti-aircraft missile system to the Taganrog district of the Rostov region.

To restore the losses of the armed forces of a russian federation, additional weapons and military equipment are being moved to the territory of Ukraine from the Southern Military District.

Attempts by the russian enemy to break through our defences and advance to the settlements of Siverodonetsk, Popasna, Avdiivka and Kurakhove are expected.

In the South Buh direction, the russian enemy tried to restore its position – to take up lost positions in the area of the settlement Osokorivka. Probably, the russian enemy will try to make an attempt to reach the administrative borders of the Kherson region.

In the temporarily occupied territories, the russian occupying forces continue to restrict the rights and freedoms of Ukrainian citizens. Robberies and killings of civilians continue.

The Defence Forces of Ukraine continue to hold certain borders, destroy the enemy and liberate the Ukrainian lands from the invader.

We believe in the Armed Forces of Ukraine!

Let’s win together!

Glory to Ukraine!

Forced displacement represents one of the most pressing humanitarian issues of our time. Individuals and families, torn from the fabric of their communities, find themselves navigating a world of uncertainty, often without basic necessities or a clear path to safety. There are currently some 110 million forced displaced, and this number is growing by 10 million each year!

At the heart of this crisis are the political triggers. Armed conflicts, ethnic or religious persecutions, and systemic human rights abuses force millions to flee their homes in terror. Many are displaced within their own national boundaries, while others seek asylum abroad. If these factors change as a result of political shifts at home or the pressures from abroad, they can return to their homes. Forced displacement is thus different from environmentally driven displacement, as victims of climate change may never be able to return to their homes.

The ramifications of any sort of displacement are profound, not just for those directly affected, but also for host communities and countries. Overburdened infrastructures, socio-economic strains, and cultural tensions can arise, necessitating comprehensive strategies to foster harmony and integration. Yet the root causes of forced displacement can be remedied with a concerted focus by local players and international diplomacy.

Organizations like Refugees International play a crucial role in this arena, advocating for the rights and needs of the displaced, conducting on-the-ground assessments, and influencing policymakers to take informed actions. Their relentless work underscores the gravity of the situation and the urgency ofinternational cooperation. But they, too, are overwhelmed by the rapid expansion of the crisis.

International Humanitarian Law (IHL), with its core principles centered on the protection of civilians during conflicts, plays a pivotal role in this discourse. Yet, despite clear legal frameworks, compliance remains
inconsistent. This initiative emphasizes the importance of upholding and reinforcing these international standards.

It’s not just about recognizing the problem; it’s about active engagement. We urge governments, organizations, and individuals to prioritize the rights and needs of the forced displaced. Through collective efforts, informed policies, and sustained advocacy, we can shift the narrative from passive acknowledgment to proactive intervention.
