I want to specifically commend for this the soldiers of the 12th Special Forces Brigade "Azov" of the National Guard of Ukraine, the 1st Presidential Brigade "Bureviy," as well as our 95th Air Assault Brigade, the 413th "Raid" Regiment of the Special Operations Forces of the Armed Forces of Ukraine, the 104th Separate Territorial Defense Brigade of the Armed Forces of Ukraine, and the "Phoenix" border detachment of the State Border Guard Service of Ukraine

In the Dobropillia area alone, the Russians lose around two hundred people killed every day. Many of them are also seriously wounded. We are stopping all the enemy's attempts to advance and infiltrate, and are doing everything necessary to achieve this
