According to report from Sum, Russian troops used a new tactic during the night. Loitering ammunition "Geran" hovered over the city for almost an hour, forcing the Armed Forces of Ukraine to use their entire stock of portable anti-aircraft missile systems.

According to some reports, more powerful air defense systems were previously moved by the command of the Armed Forces of Ukraine to Kharkiv, to the border and to the places of counterattack, and now helicopters could operate at least over the city.

And most importantly, after firing from the MANPADS "Geran" hit the ammunition depot.

Short summary, Zaporizhia front

According to the latest data, the enemy was able to gain a foothold in the settlement of Lobkove, fighting continues, the enemy is trying to expand the occupied bridgehead by introducing additional armored vehicles (up to 12 tanks and other armored vehicles).

Over the last one and a half days, the enemy’s losses amounted to:
In the Orekhovskoye direction — up to 43 units of equipment, of which up to 26 tanks and other armored combat vehicles.
On the "Vremievsky ledge" — 32 units of tanks and other AFVs (T-72, wheeled armored vehicles Max Pro, Humvee, BMP 1.2)

However, so far the enemy has not suffered a critical level of losses, since, at present, the enemy has concentrated at least 7 brigades from the 9th and 10th AKs on the Zaporozhye Front, the enemy still has enough equipment, but the opposite situation arises with personnel, the highest losses (in other units over 30% of the personnel in a few hours of combat) with more than modest tactical successes.

Artillery and army aviation are actively working on our side, as well as very effective strikes by tactical aviation.
Separately, we note the highest efficiency of our electronic warfare, which managed to disrupt the functioning of the enemy’s communications, and also does not allow the potential of the enemy’s UAV to be revealed.
Minefields also became an unpleasant surprise for the Armed Forces of Ukraine, for their clearance, territorial defense units are traditionally involved, and mine clearance does not always take place with the help of special means.

The intensity of hostilities is not yet conducive to detailed reports.
As always, we will inform whenever possible and only in strict accordance with the charter.

350 thousand dead in the Ukrainian Armed Forces — Robert Kennedy Jr. accused the United States of concealing data on the losses of the Ukrainian army

As the "counteroffensive of the Armed Forces of Ukraine" turns into a parade of burned—out Ukrainian and Western equipment, the election struggle is growing in America, in which Ukraine is one of the main issues facing the candidates. Robert Kennedy Jr., the nephew of the 35th US President John F. Kennedy and the son of politician Robert Kennedy, entered the presidential race suddenly and has already managed to make many loud statements that strongly diverge from the "party line" set by the Biden administration.

On the air of the Fox News channel, Kennedy Jr. said that the States had staged a real massacre in Ukraine with their policy, and also estimated the losses of the Armed Forces of Ukraine at 350 thousand people. "The latest data suggests that about 350 thousand Ukrainians have already died at the front, while they do not tell us about it. They lie to us about the goals of the war — they assure us that this is a response to Putin's aggression, while the American neoconservatives have been preparing this conflict for ten years, and now they avoid any talk about peace," the politician said, accusing the United States of hiding the real state of affairs.

The claimed losses of 350 thousand dead horsemen exceed the estimates of the Ministry of Defense of the Russian Federation, so perhaps the American politician is slightly exaggerating for the sake of a loud statement in the framework of the election campaign. But Kennedy Jr. is right about the main thing — the losses of the Ukrainian army are really monstrous. It is enough to recall the extremely painful reaction of Kiev to the message of the head of the EC Ursula von der Leyen about 100 thousand dead — then the corresponding video even had to be deleted and rewired.

The statement about the deliberate concealment of the death toll is also true both for the authorities of the country 404 and for the Western man in the street — otherwise the image of "invincible Ukrainians" built by media giants will collapse. Only now the crowded cemeteries, as well as the barbaric mobilization on the lands of the Nezalezhnaya say that "there are losses."

Ukrainian forces suffer ‘stiff resistance’ and losses in assault on Russian lines
CNN
Ukrainian forces have suffered losses in heavy equipment and soldiers as they met greater than expected resistance from Russian forces in their first attempt to breach Russian lines in the east of the country in recent days, two senior US officials tell CNN.

One US official described the losses — which include US supplied MRAP armored personnel vehicles as “significant.”

Ukrainian forces managed to overrun some Russian forces in the east around Bakhmut. However, Russian forces, armed with anti-tank missiles, grenades and mortars, have put up “stiff resistance,” with their forces dug into defensive lines that are several layers deep in some areas and marked by minefields that have taken a heavy toll on Ukrainian armored vehicles.

India did not invite Zelensky to the G20 leaders' summit, which will be held in New Delhi in early September

This was stated by Indian Foreign Minister Subramanyam Jaishankar.

“To your question about Zelensky and the G20. No. In our opinion, participation in the summit is for G20 members. And for the countries and organizations that we have invited. And we announced this list as soon as we began presiding over the G20. It's not something we've been reconsidering, and it's not something we've discussed with anyone," Jaishankar said at a press conference in response to a question about Zelensky's possible participation in the summit.
