Operational information on 18.00, 10.02.2023 regarding the #russian_invasion 

Day 352 of the full-scale russian military aggression continues.

The russian federation launched more than 100x missiles during another massive missile attack on the territory of our country.

According to preliminary information, the enemy used 29x S-300 anti-aircraft guided missiles and 71x air and sea-based cruise missiles. 61x cruise missiles were destroyed by our defenders. In addition, the invaders carried out 12x airstrikes, 2x of which were carried out by Shahed-136 UAVs. In particular, on civil infrastructure.

Also, the enemy launched more than 20 attacks from MLRS.

The threat of strikes by the russian federation against civilian objects remains high throughout Ukraine.

The enemy, despite significant losses, does not give up its intention to enter the administrative borders of Donetsk and Luhansk Oblasts. It continues to focus its main efforts on conducting offensive operations in the Kup’yansk, Lyman, Bakhmut, Avdiivka and Novopavlivka axes, and actively uses aviation to strike at the positions of our troops.

Volyn’, Polissya, Sivershchyna, and Slobozhanshchyna axes: there were no significant changes, and no signs of the formation of offensive groups were detected. At the same time, the enemy continues to keep its units in the areas bordering Ukraine. The enemy does not stop artillery shelling of the positions of our troops, as well as settlements near the contact line. During this period, the areas of Senkivka settlements of Chernihiv Oblast were affected by fire; Studenok, Porokhon’, Shpyl, Pavlivka, Ponomarenki of the Sumy Oblast and Chervona Zorya, Lukyantsi, Ohirtseve, Figolivka of the Kharkiv Oblast.

Kup’yansk and Lyman axes: the enemy carried out mortar and artillery attacks on the areas of Hryanikyvka, Dvorichna, Zapadne, Pishchane, Krokhmalne, Berestov in Kharkiv Oblast and Makiivka, Ploshanka, Dibrova and Bilogorivka in Luhansk.

Bakhmut axis: tank, mortar and artillery shelling occurred in the Mykolaivka, Spirne, Vesele, Berestov, Belogorivka, Krasna Gora, Chasiv Yar, Bakhmut, Ivanivske, Bila Gora, Kurdyumivka, Pivdenne and Mayorsk settlements of the Donetsk Oblast.

Avdiivka and Novopavlivka axes: Avdiivka, Pervomaiske, Krasnohorivka, Georgiivka, Maryinka, Novomykhailivka, Zolota Niva, Prechistivka, Vugledar and Velyka Novosilka in Donetsk Oblast were under tank, mortar and artillery fire.

Zaporizhzhya axis: Vremivka districts of Donetsk Oblast and Olhivsky, Malynyvka, Gulyaipol, Stepovoy, Novoandriivka and Charivny districts of Zaporizhzhya Oblast were hit by fire.

Kherson axis: the suburbs and Kherson itself, as well as Ochakiv, Mykolayiv Oblast, were hit by enemy artillery fire.

In the village of Zaliznyi Port of the temporarily occupied territory of the Kherson Oblast, the russian invaders are trying to carry out passporting of the local population. For this purpose, the passport office was moved from the village of Gola Prystan to the village. Given the fact that there is no queue of people wishing to obtain russian citizenship, the occupiers promise a monetary reward to those who agree.

With the aim of restricting access to information of Ukrainian citizens in the temporarily occupied territories of Donetsk and Luhansk Oblasts, the mobile operators “Phoenix” and “Mks” have been turning off mobile Internet for users since February 11.

Aviation of the Defense Forces during the day made 12x strikes on the areas of concentration of personnel and military equipment of the occupiers, as well as 2x strikes on the positions of anti-aircraft missile systems.

Units of missile and artillery forces hit 2x areas of concentration of manpower, an ammunition warehouse, the position of an anti-aircraft missile complex and 2x more important enemy objects.

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.
