Over the past 24 hours, Ukrainian defenders have demonstrated extraordinary resilience, repelling a massive enemy offensive across the entire front line. 

This was reported by the General Staff of the Armed Forces of Ukraine.

A total of 149 combat engagements were recorded, during which the Air Force, Rocket Forces, and Artillery of the Armed Forces delivered precision strikes on the invaders’ strategic targets.
