Ukraine’s armed forces said that Russian forces fired more than 100 missiles during another missile attack against Ukraine. According to the General Staff of Ukraine’s Armed Forces, most missiles were shot down. The aircraft of the Ukrainian Defense Forces launched 12 strikes on areas with Russian military personnel and equipment and two strikes on the positions of Russian anti-aircraft missile systems. Ukraine’s Armed Forces said that Russian forces continue to focus their main efforts on conducting offensive operations in the Kupiansk, Lyman, Bakhmut, Avdiivka and Novopavlivka areas.

Earlier, one of the units of the Khmelnytskyi nuclear power plant stopped functioning. Yuzhnoukrainsk nuclear power plant and the Rivne nuclear power plant reduced electricity production amid the Russian missile strikes.

On the eve of the anniversary since the beginning of the war in Ukraine, Ukraine’s supporters at the UN have tabled a motion for a resolution. The declaration emphasizes the need for peace that guarantees Ukraine’s sovereignty, independence, unity and territorial integrity, the BTA reported.
