The General Staff of the AFU informed about the situation on the fronts and the operational situation as of the beginning of the 36th day of the confrontation between the defenders of Ukraine and the Russian invasion.
This was reported by the General Staff of the AFU on 31 March.
It is noted that in the territories of the Kiev region left by the enemy there are frequent cases of mines in the territory and buildings of local residents.
The group of defense forces continues to conduct a defense operation in the eastern, south-eastern and north-eastern directions. In all directions, the enemy is successfully deterred by AFU fighters, and in some directions, our troops launch successful counterattacks.
The grouping of the OOS forces in the Donetsk and Luhansk directions during the day repulsed 5 enemy attacks. The Ukrainian military destroyed 10 tanks, 18 units of armored and 13 units of automotive equipment, 15 artillery systems. The enemy also suffered losses in manpower.
"The leadership of the Russian Federation is considering the formation of occupation authorities in the temporarily occupied territories. According to available information, the Russian Federation is selecting employees of security agencies, prosecutor's offices and courts who will be sent to the territory of Ukraine in the future," the report says.
According to our General Staff, in order to implement the scenario of creation of "XPR" in the territory of Kherson region the occupants engage employees of the FSB, 652 groups of informational and psychological operations and officers of the 12th Main Department of the Russian General Staff.
The enemy troops remain in a low moral and psychological state, and there are tendencies for deterioration.
"According to available information, in the units of the 60th separate motorized rifle brigade of the 5th general army of the Eastern Military District, two platoon commanders have been suspended due to non-compliance with the order to conduct combat operations. The deputy brigade commander for military and political work is scheduled to arrive in the area of combat tasks of the unit in Yasinovka, Donetsk region to conduct explanatory work," the General Staff reported.
Moreover, numerous cases of refusal to continue service and unwillingness to sign contracts by conscripts have been registered in the formations and units of the Baltic Fleet, in particular, in the 79th Independent Motorized Rifle Brigade of the 11th Army Corps.
The movement of Russian military equipment on the territory of Belarus was registered. In all likelihood, this was done in order to regroup the units and create a reserve to make up for losses in manpower, weapons, and equipment.
During the previous day, a group of the Air Force of the Armed Forces of the AFU struck seven aerial targets - four aircraft, a UAV and two cruise missiles. Our aviation also continues to carry out missile and bomb strikes on places of accumulation of Russian occupants' equipment and manpower.
