The summary of the 59th day of Russian invasion to Ukraine, as of 22:00 – 23rd of April 2022 (Kyiv time).

Ukrainian troops have liberated more settlements north of Kharkiv. Russian forces are unable to breakthrough anywhere, resulting in static clashes or just minor advances. The Ukrainian president mentioned a possibility of an attack from Transnistria in the evening’s speech.

Russian army shelled the border area near Bilopillia, Putyvl and Nova Sloboda in Sumy Oblast.

The hottest point remains Popasna and Rubizhne, where fighting and shelling is ongoing nonstop. Russian forces assaulted Ukrainian positions at Dibrovne and Zarichne, but without success.

Russian artillery hit a pumping station in Luhansk Oblast. Lysychansk and nearby villages are left out without water as the result.

Russian forces have met fierce resistance in Zelene Pole, Temyrivka, Malynivka and are unable to advance further north at this moment.
