At the same Time, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky reported that starting from 10:00, the number of Russian shellings increased, and the occupiers are using kamikaze drones. He refers to a report by Commander-in-Chief Oleksandr Syrskyi.

Zelensky stated: 'Despite Ukraine declaring the mirror nature of its actions in response to Russia, from 10:00, the number of Russian shellings has increased, and the occupiers are using kamikaze drones. According to FPV, the increase from the Russian army is twofold. The Russian army conducts the most active actions in the Pokrovsk and Siversk directions. On these and other sections of the front, Russian heavy weapons are being used.'
