Russians encourage the military deployed in South Ossetia to sign contracts and participate in hostilities on the territory of Ukraine — the General Staff of the Armed Forces of Ukraine

Between March 1 and 10, more than 50 Russian conscripts signed contracts. They were sent to Melitopol, Zaporizhzhia region, without proper combat training.  

The Russians made a round of the houses in the temporarily occupied Reshetylivske, Chumatske and Kostiantynivka in the Zaporizhzhia region. Locals were warned about the "need to stay in safe places" and forbidden to leave their homes. The General Staff of the Ukrainian Armed Forces attributes this to the fact that the Russians want to conceal the transfer of their manpower and military equipment to the contact line. 

Over the past day, Ukrainian troops repelled 83 attacks in the Liman, Bakhmut, Avdiivka, Mariinka, and Shakhtarsk sectors.

The Russian army carried out 48 air strikes and fired 75 times from multiple launch rocket systems.

Ukrainian aviation struck at a Russian anti-aircraft missile system and 12 strikes at areas where occupants' personnel and military equipment were concentrated. 

Missile and artillery units struck a Russian army command post, three areas of concentration of personnel, an ammunition depot and an enemy electronic warfare station.
