General Staff of the Armed Forces of Ukraine

"Information as of 20:00 February 26 on the Russian invasion.

The Ukrainian Defense Forces give a worthy rebuff to the aggressor in all areas.

So, in the Polissky direction, the enemy offensive was stopped at the turn of Horodyanka, Bucha, Vyshhorod. Enemy units have partially lost their combat capability.

In the Siversky region, the invaders completed the regrouping and continued the offensive to block Kyiv. The units of the Armed Forces of Ukraine hold back the invaders. In the Chernihiv region, state defenders blew up a train transporting 56 tanks with diesel fuel.

The enemy continues to attempt to capture settlements in the Slobozhansky district, moving from Bilhorod to Starobilsk.

In the Volyn operational area, the enemy is carrying out demonstration actions.

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

In the southern direction, the enemy managed to reach the lines of Skadovsk and Hola Pristan. The State Defense Forces, together with the Territorial Defense Forces, are waging stubborn battles to prevent the enemy from gaining ground on the left bank of the Dnieper River. We call on the volunteers of the defense of Kherson and Mykolaiv to resist the aggressor!

In the Black Sea, an anti-aircraft missile unit of the Air Force of the Armed Forces of Ukraine destroyed a Russian Su-30SM fighter.

Russian special forces and saboteurs, contrary to the Geneva Conventions and the rules of war, use civilian infrastructure to cover up their actions.

The morale of Ukrainian soldiers is high. At the same time, the enemy troops are demoralized, they are running out of fuel and food. The enemy suffers significant losses. Thus, the estimated loss of personnel is more than 3,000 people, tanks - about 100, AFVs - up to 540, guns - 15, Buk systems - 1, aircraft - 16, helicopters - 18.

Also, the Russian occupiers massively leave the equipment and take to flight. Victory will be ours! Together we will win."

An update regarding Russian invasion: briefing of Ukraine’s Prime Minister, Denys Shmyhal.

#stoprussia

Prime Minister of Ukraine Denys Shmyhal:

Heroic people of Ukraine,

For over two days now, our army has been destroying the invaders on the land, in the sea, and in the sky. Thousands of Russian soldiers have been killed, hundreds captured, and thousands injured.

Our forces are holding ground on all sectors of the front. The enemies expected it to be a walk in the park, but we gave them a taste of real hell.

Ukraine is rising. Tens of thousands of volunteers, reservists, and Territorial Defence Force troops have already bolstered our land’s defences. Russian command fails to understand that it fights not just Ukraine’s Armed Forces, but the entire Ukrainian people, who has already risen to fight the invaders for its freedom.

Our enemy has failed to fulfil its plan, and, sadly, resorted to shelling non-combatants and civilian infrastructure. They shell kindergartens, hospitals, and apartment blocks. They shoot at ambulances and buses with children. For these crimes, the Russian command will inevitably be court-martialed. For killing Ukrainian children, our enemies will inevitably be prosecuted — Ukraine will never forgive it.

We stay in Kyiv and continue our work. Today, we held an emergency government session, during which a number of crucial decisions were made.

First, we looked for ways of ensuring disruption-free operation of food producers in the conditions of martial law. Now, the maximum period of payment for Ukrainian-made socially essential food product supplies will be 10 calendar days at most from the day of invoicing by the supplier.

Second, a resolution was made for the State Reserve Agency of Ukraine to stockpile enough diesel fuel to satisfy the needs of the military.

Third, provisions were made for the property seized by a court ruling or the State Customs Service to be handed over for the needs of the Armed Forces of Ukraine.

Forth, we established an algorithm for coordinating and receiving humanitarian aid and its subsequent delivery to Ukrainians. The State Border Guard Service and State Customs Service are to set up a simplified procedure for border crossing by the transport delivering humanitarian aid. On their part, the civil-military administrations in cooperation with the National Guard of Ukraine, National Police, and the State Emergency Service will ensure it is received, distributed, and stored properly.

I would like to remind you that yesterday we adopted Resolution No. 155 “On the special aspects of declaring goods necessary for national security and defence activities as humanitarian aid” which lets the heads of territorial defence zone to declare any goods they deem necessary for national security and defence humanitarian aid at their discretion while martial law is in effect. These goods will be immediately cleared to cross the border of Ukraine.

Fifth, we adopted a resolution on the special aspects of payout and delivery of pensions and monetary aid during the period of martial law. If people cannot get their money at the place of their residence or the money cannot be transferred to their accounts, pensions and monetary aid will be paid by a wire transfer. The Ministry of Social Policy together with the Pension Fund of Ukraine and other agencies will contact the recipients through their personal e-accounts with the Pension Fund to specify their current place of residence under the current circumstances.

Finally, sixth, the government decided to temporarily close the entry points on the state border with Russia and Belarus. Importantly, the Ukrainian citizens currently staying in these countries and wishing to return home will be able to freely enter Ukraine. Naturally, we invite them to do so and prove that they are on the side of light.23:07

I would also like to address all civilized countries: it is time for you to pick your side. You can side with murderers of children or with the great European people defending its freedom and country from the invaders.
Give Ukraine weapons so that it can protect itself, help us with vehicles, isolate Russia everywhere it can be done. Meanwhile, we will continue to defend our country. We are thankful to our friends from Poland, Latvia, Lithuania, Estonia, the Czech Republic, the Netherlands, the USA, the UK, and many other countries that have already sent and keep sending weapons and other goods necessary to sustain the Armed Forces of Ukraine and our medicine.
The Ukrainian people will never forget it. Fellow Ukrainians, let us hold the line. We are on our land. Glory to the Ukrainian army, glory to the heroic Ukrainian people, and glory to our valiant defenders. Glory to Ukraine!

Air Force Command of the Armed Forces of Ukraine:

"For the last 24 hours the Russian occupation forces had lost at least eleven helicopters of different types, three Su-30 SM fighters, two Su-25 attack aircraft, and one more IL 76 MD airlifter with dozens of soldiers."

Enemy machines were destroyed by Su-27 fighters and the combat crews of S-300 and Buk M-31 surface-to-air missile systems.

The front-line strike aircraft of the UA Air Forces Su-24 destroyed in one go the convoy of 20 units of military equipment.

Oleksii Arestovych gave an update about the latest developments on the frontline:

Russians suffered enormous losses and had to pause operations. They are accumulating forces west of Kyiv. However, they sustained heavy casualties and are standing still.

Sumy is under Ukrainian military’s control, the invaders are demoralized and have no fuel.

Kharkiv still holds. Ukrainian soldiers hold positions in the Joint Forces Operation zone, too. A Russian brigade combat force is on the move from Melitopol to Mariupol.

The Ukrainian forces will meet them. This direction is the only one where Russians managed to push further. The Enerhodar/Zaporizhzhia direction is problematic. A Russian forward unit is heading there, but they shall not pass.

Kherson resists for the sake of all Ukraine, and the enemy is incurring losses there. In Perevalne, Crimea, 53% of Crimea’s reservists fled home, refusing to go to war.

WE DISRUPTED THE SCENARIO OF OCCUPATION OF OUR COUNTRY. TO VICTORY! Full text of the evening address of the President of Ukraine Volodymyr Zelensky:

Ukraine's readiness to defend its state, our solidarity with each other and courage have disrupted the scenario of occupation of our country. The world has seen - Ukrainians are strong, Ukrainians are powerful, Ukrainians are brave. So it is not surprising that such people always have friends more powerful than enemies. During the day, I spoke every hour with the leaders of states - friends of Ukraine. An incredible result was reached in relations with Italy. This is truly a new chapter for our states. The conversation with Prime Minister of the Italian Republic Mario Draghi put everything in its place. India is a traditional world power. Discussed with Prime Minister Modi the course of our repulse of the aggressor. Received full support. Thanked my and our friend Erdoğan for the unwavering support to our independence and territorial integrity. We agreed that today the ban on the passage of Russian warships in the Black Sea is extremely important. They did it. I told a good friend of Ukraine, Ilham Heydar oglu Aliyev, President of Azerbaijan, that our country lacks oil and oil products. Everything is not easy, but now everything will be provided. By the way, Ilham Aliyev and President Erdoğan offered to organize talks with Russia. This can only be commended. And also the President of Switzerland, the Prime Minister of Greece, Prime Minister of the Netherlands Rutte... It seems that Ukraine has gained the sincerity and attention of the entire normal civilized world. What is the practical result? Here it is - SWIFT. There is so much sense in this word for the Russian Federation! Disconnection from global financial civilization. Our diplomats fought around the clock and with inspiration for all European countries to agree on a strong and fair decision to disconnect Russia from the international interbank network. We also gained this victory. This is billions and billions of losses for Russia - a concrete price for this vile invasion of our state. We always said: the truth is on our side. This means that even the greatest achievements are possible. Today I spoke with the leaders of churches and religious communities of Ukraine. Metropolitan Epiphanius, Primate of the Orthodox Church of Ukraine; Metropolitan Onufriy, Primate of the Ukrainian Orthodox Church; Sheikh Tamim, Supreme Mufti of Ukraine; Yaakov Bleich, Chief Rabbi of Kyiv and Ukraine, and His Holiness Pope Francis, Head of the Catholic Church. All leaders pray for our defenders, for the souls of our heroes who gave their lives for our Ukraine, and for our unity and our victory. And this is very important. You know, today was a very good, sunny day in Kyiv. The day that the invaders tried to destroy for us, like everything else in the country. But today is also the first day of the life of a girl who was born in the Kyiv subway this Saturday night. Now it's a shelter. We give a decent rebuff - I'm sure you see it in the news. I want to say just one more thing. We will fight as long as it takes to liberate the country. If children are born in shelters, even when the shelling continues, then the enemy has no chance in this undoubtedly People's war. To victory! Glory to Ukraine!
