Operational information as of 18.00 

Glory to Ukraine! Day 399 of the russian full-scale military aggression against Ukraine continues.

During the day of March 29, the adversary launched 1x missile and 16x air strikes, and conducted 4x MLRS attacks.

The likelihood of missile and air strikes across Ukraine remains high, as the enemy continues to ignore the laws and customs of war, and use terror tactics against civilians. Today’s air strike on the infrastructure of Beryslav (Kherson oblast) wounded civilians and damaged private houses and civilian infrastructure.

The adversary is focusing its main efforts on the offensive operations on Lyman, Bakhmut, Avdiivka, and Mar’inka axes. The towns of Bilohorivka, Bakhmut, Avdiivka, and Mar’inka remain at the epicenter of the fighting. The Ukrainian Defense Forces repelled 48x enemy attacks on these axes.

Volyn, Polissya, Sivershchyna, and Slobozhanshchyna axes: no significant changes in the operational situation, no signs of the formation of enemy offensive groups were found. The adversary continues to maintain military presence in the border areas of Kursk and Belgorod oblasts (russia). During the day of March 29, the enemy shelled the vicinities of settlements of Chernats’ke, Esman, Kucherivka, Bilopillya, Volfyne, Basivka (Sumy oblast), Tymofiivka, Veterynarne, Hlyboke, Pishchane, Hatyshche, Vovchans’k, and Bochkove (Kharkiv oblast).

Lyman axis: during the day of March 29, the adversary conducted unsuccessful offensives in the vicinity of Vyimka. The vicinities of settlements on Kup’yans’k and Lyman axes were shelled with artillery. They include Kolodyazne, Dvorichna, Zapadne, Petropavlivka, Kup’yans’k, Kyslivka, Kam’yanka (Kharkiv oblast), Stel’makhivka, Nevs’ke, Kuz’myne, Bilohorivka (Luhansk oblast), Kolodyazi, Spirne, and Sivers’k (Donetsk oblast).

Bakhmut axis: the enemy makes further attempts to seize the city of Bakhmut, having partial success. However, Ukrainian defenders are courageously holding the city as they repel numerous enemy attacks. During the day of March 29, the enemy conducted unsuccessful offensive operations in the vicinity of Orikhovo-Vasylivka (Donetsk oblast). The invaders shelled Min’kivka, Orikhovo-Vasylivka, Bakhmut, Chasiv Yar, and Toretsk (Donetsk oblast).

Avdiivka and Mar’inka axes: the adversary attempted to advance towards Novokalynove, Stepove, Avdiivka, Sjeverne, Pervomais’ke, and Mar’inka. All attacks have failed. Russian forces shelled the following settlements: Novokalynove, Avdiivka, Vodyane, Karlivka, Krasnohorivka, Mar’inka, Heorhiivka, and Novomykhailivka (Donetsk oblast).

Shakhtars’ke axis: during the day of 29 March, the enemy shelled the vicinities of Vuhledar, Prechystivka, and Velyka Novosilka (Donetsk oblast).

Zaporizhzhia and Kherson axes: the adversary continues to defend. The invaders shelled the settlements of Vremivka (Donetsk oblast), Malynivka, Hulyaipole, Staroukrainka, Charivne (Zaporizhzhia oblast), Vesele, Beryslav, Kozats’ke, Zelenivka, Antonivka, Dniprovs’ke (Kherson oblast), and the city of Kherson.

Russia continues to build fortifications and trenches in Armiansk and Dzhankoy districts of the temporarily occupied territory of the Autonomous Republic of Crimea. Local civilian population is actively involved in the fortification works.

During the day of March 29, Ukrainian Air Force launched 5x air strikes on the concentrations of russian troops and military equipment. In addition, Ukrainian Air Force shot down 1x russian Su-24M bomber.

During the day of March 29, our missile and artillery troops hit 2x concentrations of enemy troops, weapons, and military equipment, 1x ammunition depot, and 2x fuel and lubricant depots of the enemy.

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.
