🇺🇦 🇷🇺 #NEW #Zelenskyy today on #Russian and #Ukrainian war efforts after Moscow drone attacks:

"Ukraine is becoming stronger. The war is gradually returning to Russian territory – to its symbolic centers and military bases, and this is an inevitable, natural, and absolutely fair process," President Volodymyr Zelensky said in a video address.

"Russian aggression has suffered bankruptcy on the battlefield. Today is the 522nd day of the so-called "special military operation", which the Russian leadership expected to last a week or two."

At the same time, the president urged people to be aware that "this winter, Russian terrorists can still attack our energy system and critical facilities... It is very important that local authorities across the country right now - in summer and September - be as active as possible in everything that needs to be done before the cold months of the year,"

Drone footage from #Bakhmut of combat and assault on Russian trenchlines, recently released by the #Ukrainian 30th separate mechanized brigade.

A rare footage splice of an FPV kamikaze drone attack by #Russian forces on #Ukrainian soldiers who are seen evacuating a casualty. Both perspectives were published online by their respective sides.

🇷🇺 🇺🇦 #Russian soldiers come under cluster munition fire on the #Kharkiv front – translated and subtitled by @wartranslated – the footage shows Russian infantrymen riding on and then dismounting from an armored column after a wave of cluster munitions targets them and results in several injuries seemingly. The cameraman and others dismount in partial chaos and confusion, apparently not knowing their location, and take up positions in the woods as small arms fires and other weapons can be heard as they attack/shoot at presumably #Ukrainian positions (although some of the soldiers say they are unsure there are even Ukrainian soldiers nearby) another cluster wave is heard striking around them before the video ends.

🇺🇦 🇷🇺 A #Ukrainian drone attack targeted an oil refinery in #Tuapse, northeast coast of the #BlackSea, #Russia, causing a fire. @ourwarstoday

The refinery, owned by the #Russian oil giant Rosneft, includes a port terminal, and primarily exports its products, with 90% of its output destined for international markets. The refinery has an estimated annual processing capacity of 240,000 barrels per day.

Russian officials reported that no casualties occurred and nearly one hundred emergency responders managed to contain the fire. The blaze was attributed to falling drone debris by regional authorities, who accused #Ukraine of targeting civilian infrastructure.

The extent of the damage remains unclear, and it is unknown if the refinery is operational. Via theatlasnews.co
