It’s Been a Month Since Russia’s Invasion of Ukraine (Online)

(updated) Highlights of the 29th day of the war.

Today is precisely one month since the start of Russia's war against Ukraine. The occupiers during this time have not accomplished the tasks of reaching the administrative borders of Donetsk and Luhansk regions, encircling the capital and establishing control over left-bank Ukraine, but they have not stopped trying to resume offensives to seize Kyiv, Chernihiv, Sumy, Kharkiv and Mariupol.

By the 29th day of the war, the Ukrainian military had already shot down over a hundred Russian aircraft. In total, Russia has lost around 15600 occupiers. In the Izyum district of the Kharkiv region alone, 400 Russian servicemen were eliminated during the latest fighting.

To the south, Russian troops are trying to bypass Mykolayiv to seize Odessa.

The Charter97.org website is broadcasting online the 29th day of the war. You can see what was happening in Ukraine on March 23 in our previous online broadcast.
