The hottest battles now are in the north-western suburbs of Kyiv, Kharkiv, and Kherson.

 The passage for enemy vehicles is blocked on the north-western outskirts of Kyiv, active artillery shelling is underway in Kharkiv, and there is street fighting in Kherson, said Oleksiy Arestovych, a freelance adviser to the head of the President’s Office. The hottest spot is in the north-western suburbs of Kyiv, in the Makarov district, on the Zhytomyr highway, where a cluster of opponents have gathered, and where we practice our artillery skills. The second hot spot is Kharkiv, where artillery battles are taking place, and enemy aircraft are constantly attacking. “There were no hot messages from Mariupol. And Kherson street fights. These are the three main points on which the efforts of both ours and the enemy are now focused,” Arestovich said. Regarding the potential landing in the Odesa region, Arestovich noted that the storm in the Black Sea makes it difficult for the enemy to conduct this operation.
