Humanitarian aspect:

Mayor of Mariupol Vadym Boychenko warned of a threat of outbreaks of infectious diseases in the city.According to the mayor, an epidemic in the city may be caused by the mass burials
of those killed as a result of russian occupation, non-functioning sewage system, lack of garbage collection, and worsening weather conditions, including rising summer temperatures. "Our doctors report the dangers that may appear this summer include outbreaks of infectious diseases, dysentery, cholera, etc. These diseases could kill thousands of Mariupol residents," the mayor reported.
russian federation troops continue to carry outfiltration measures in occupied Mariupol. Commissioner for Human Rights Lyudmyla Denisova said that over the past week, russians have forcibly deported almost 3,000 Ukrainians to a filtration camp in Bezimenne, including more than 300 children. After conducting these filtration measures, the occupiers formed groups of Mariupol residents who were first deported to Taganrog and then to the poorest regions of russia. At least 10% of citizens who do not pass the filtration process are considered by the occupiers as being "dangerous to the russian regime." They are then arrested and sent either to former penal colony No 52 in Olenivka, Donetsk region, or to the infamous Izolyatsia (Isolation) prison in Donetsk, which is known for its use of long interrogations, torture, threats of execution, and coercion.

Operational situation:

The enemy is trying to establish full control over the territory of the Donetsk and Luhansk regions and maintain the land corridor with the temporarily occupied Crimea; they are continuing their offensive in the east of Ukraine to defeat the Ukrainian Joint Forces.
In order to prevent the transfer of Ukrainian units to other areas, the enemy continues to station troops on the section of the russian-Ukrainian border in the Bryansk and Kursk regions. The enemy rotated some units and improved fortifications in areas where they are concentrated. They continued to cover the Ukrainian-russian border in the Bryansk and Kursk regions by firing mortars at the positions of Ukrainian Defense Forces in the Sumy region. The enemy used mortars four times against Ukrainian positions near Seredyna Buda, Stari Vyrky, and Znob-Trubichevska.
An operational and tactical aircraft from the airspace of the Kursk region fired a missile at a civilian industrial facility in the Sumy region. In order to determine the position of Ukrainian troops, the enemy conducted air reconnaissance with the help of UAVs in the Chernihiv and Sumy regions.
The Belarusian Armed Forces continued to cover the Belarusian-Ukrainian border on a rotating basis. The grouping has been strengthened by units of brigades of the Belarusian Ministry of Internal Affairs.
