Current information on Russian invasion as of 20:00 February 26

Ukraine's defense forces are repelling the aggressor in all operational areas.

Thus, in the Polissia direction, the enemy's offensive was stopped at the border of Gorodyanka, Bucha, and Vyshhorod. Enemy units partially lost their combat capability. 

In the Siverskyi region, the occupiers

completed the regrouping and continued the offensive to block Kyiv. Units of the Armed Forces of Ukraine restrain the invader. In the Chernihiv region, state defenders blew up an echelon transporting 56 tanks of diesel fuel. The enemy continues to try to capture settlements in the Slobozhansky operational area, advancing from Belgorod to Starobilsk.

The enemy is conducting demonstrations in the Volyn operational area.

Due to the decisive rebuff of the Joint Forces, the goal of the Russian Federation to reach the administrative borders of Donetsk and Luhansk regions has not been achieved.

In the southern direction, the enemy managed to reach the border of Skadovsk and Gola Pristan. The State Defense Forces, together with the Territorial Defense Forces, are fighting fierce battles to prevent consolidation on the left bank of the Dnipro River. We call on volunteers of defense of the Kherson and Nikolaev regions to resist the aggressor!

A Russian Su-30 CM fighter was destroyed by an anti-aircraft missile unit of the Air Force of the Armed Forces of Ukraine in the Black Sea. Contrary to the Geneva Conventions and the rules of war, Russian special forces and saboteurs use civilian infrastructure to cover up their actions.

The fighting spirit of Ukrainian soldiers is high! Instead, enemy troops are demoralized, running out of fuel and food. The enemy suffers significant losses. Thus, the estimated loss of personnel - more than 3,000 people, tanks - up to 100,  armored vehicle - up to 540, guns - 14, anti-aircraft missile system "Buk" - 1, aircraft - 14, helicopters - 8. The occupiers left the equipment en masse and fled. Victory will be ours!
