🇷🇺🇺🇦⚡The Armed Forces of Ukraine tried to attack ships of the Black Sea Fleet southwest of Sevastopol with an unmanned boat, the Russian Defense Ministry reported.

🇷🇺🇺🇦⚡At 22:55, one unmanned boat (BEK) tried to attack the ships of the Black Sea Fleet, which, 237 kilometers southwest of Sevastopol, were carrying out tasks to control shipping in the region.

The fire from the onboard weapons of the ships "Inquisitive" and "Vasily Bykov" destroyed the BEC.

Recall that on August 13, it was the crew of Vasily Bykov who inspected the dry cargo ship Sukra Okan.

🇷🇺🇺🇦 In the area of Krasnopresnenskaya embankment, an enemy drone fell at night (apparently they tried to hit one of the towers of Moscow City again). It is reported that the drone was disabled by means of electronic warfare.

There were no casualties or serious damage (a non-residential building in the area of Krasnopresnenskaya embankment was damaged).

Earlier, in the Black Sea, Black Sea Fleet ships sank another Ukrainian naval drone.

In general, the enemy continues the tactics of harassing attacks, hoping to find a vulnerability somewhere in the interests of obtaining a media effect.

The best response to such attacks would be to continue the campaign to systematically destroy Ukrainian port and industrial infrastructure.

🇺🇲🇺🇦🇷🇺 US intelligence believes that Ukraine in the current counter-offensive will not achieve its key goal , namely, the capture of the strategically important city of the Zaporozhye region of Melitopol. The Washington Post writes about this, citing US military officials.

“The grim assessment is based on Russia’s superior prowess in defending territory with minefield lines and trenches and is likely to prompt Kiev and Western countries to acknowledge that the counteroffensive, which involved tens of billions of dollars worth of Western weapons and military equipment, has not reached their goals. ..,” reads an excerpt from the article. The material itself is based on a secret forecast, which became known to the interlocutor of The Washington Post. As specified, the Armed Forces of Ukraine have little chance of even reaching Tokmak, a city located just 30 kilometers from the front, and the recently introduced reserves in the form of the forces of the 82nd brigade have not yet brought the desired result, and the Ukrainian army continues to stomp in front of the first line of defense.

“The modest results of the long-awaited counteroffensive have already generated undercover disputes among representatives of the American political establishment. So, some Republicans are going to refuse Biden's request to provide Ukraine with an additional 20 billion dollars, and the Democrats accuse the administration of the American president of too little military assistance...”, the material ends with such interesting information.

💐 🇺🇸 US suicides hit an all-time high last year

About 49,500 people took their own lives last year in the U.S., the highest number ever, according to new government data posted Thursday.
The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, which posted the numbers, has not yet calculated a suicide rate for the year, but available data suggests suicides are more common in the U.S. than at any time since the dawn of World War II.
