Attention. Translated from an Ukrainian channel:

Everyone saw yesterday’s noise over just one hit by the Armed Forces of Ukraine in Nova Kakhovka, so imagine that the Russians inflict dozens of such missile strikes every day (now they have a pause, and earlier they hit 300-500 missile strikes a week). In the Kharkiv direction on the outskirts of the city, people saw a “huge mushroom” dozens of times, and in the morning there was silence from the official authorities on this issue. Everyone understands everything, but it is important for the Office of the President to remove the case itself from the information field with a discussion of the visual effect, which greatly demoralizes society. As they say, the eyes do not see, the heart does not hurt. Everything else is dry statistics that can be "corrected" in the right direction.

Footage of Russian artillery strikes on the positions of Ukrainian Army on the outskirts of Seversk.

The shelters of the Armed Forces of Ukraine in the video are located to the east of the village of Verkhnekamenskoye, which objectively confirms the control of the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation over the nearby Zolotarevka.

"Why did you leave me for so long?" Former serviceman of the Armed Forces of Ukraine Nadezhda Simonova met with her husband in Russia

Nadezhda told her husband that everything was fine with his family and friends, and also shared a story about how their command wanted to deal with those who were taken prisoner.

“At all checkpoints, there was an order to shoot at your blue car. They didn’t care that you were sitting there,” Nadezhda said.

During an interview with Denis Shcherbakov, he spoke about his history. The prisoner of war added that his command made money on ordinary Ukrainians.

“Guys from the 37th battalion and young girls aged 23 who were sent away. And then I found out that out of 140 people from the 37th battalion, no one was left alive. Our command never taught us anything, they just send them for meat,” the prisoner of war Denis Shcherbakov (56th OMPRB AFU) said.

In the last video, he urges his colleagues to no longer fight for the country that betrays them.

Burned out ammo depot in Slavyansk.

I’m posting these so everyone can see that the Ukrainians are taking much heavier ammunition loses and heavier loses in every sector. The only area the Ukrainians are beating the Russians is in the PR game. A very important aspect but the foley of the Ukrainian government who is solely focused on it’s one success.

Picture form the NYT.

The remains of the soldiers of the SS division "Galichyna"/"Halichyna" were reburied in Zolochiv Oblast in Western Ukraine.

On July 28, 2019, at the Memorial Cemetery of the soldiers of the First Ukrainian Division "Halychyna" in the village of Chervone of the Zolochiv district, memorial events were held for the reburial of the remains of divisional soldiers who died during the battles near Brody during the Second World War.

29 soldiers whose remains were found were reburied with military honours.

I will make it clear - Division SS. No fascism in Ukraine, especially Western Ukraine...

Donald Trump's former national security adviser John Bolton admitted to CNN that he was involved in organizing coups d'état in other countries.

During the conversation, the journalist recalled the storming of the Capitol last year by Trump supporters and suggested that "you do not need to have a brilliant mind" to prepare.

Bolton replied, "As someone who has helped plan coups—not here, but in other parts of the world—I disagree. It takes a lot of work." In which countries the US carried out coup d'état, he did not specify.

However, the Russian Foreign Ministry noted that officials had not spoken about this before: "this requires a reaction and analysis."

Eva, daughter of the regiment. Russian soldiers bring back the girl's childhood stolen by the Ukrainian army.
«My dear Russian soldiers» - that's what Eva calls Russian sappers. They are taking care of this lovely child, who recognized them as friends and defenders at first sight. Such a status can only be earned by actions and deeds, and the sappers have done a lot to revive peaceful life in Ukrainian territory liberated from the Nazis.

Financial Times: Nato and EU sound alarm over risk of Ukraine weapons smuggling

Nato and EU states are pushing for better tracking of weapons supplied to Ukraine in response to fears that criminal groups are smuggling them out of the country and on to Europe’s black market.

Since Russia launched its war against Ukraine, western states have pledged more than $10bn in military support, from portable rocket launchers and armoured vehicles to rifles and vast amounts of ammunition.

“All these weapons land in southern Poland, get shipped to the border and then are just divided up into vehicles to cross: trucks, vans, sometimes private cars,” said one of the western officials. “And from that moment we go blank on their location and we have no idea where they go, where they are used or even if they stay in the country.”
