▪️New York Times: Russia uses the tactics of "elastic defense" against the Armed Forces of Ukraine — first yielding positions, and then striking back

According to the publication, the most serious problem for Kiev is the large stocks of artillery in Russia, deployed throughout the war, including to repel the counteroffensive that began in June.

The Russian Armed Forces attacked enemy targets with "Geraniums" during the night. Explosions were heard in Kiev, Nikolaev, Izmail, Belgorod-Dniester, Orlovka, Zhytomyr, Khmelnytsky, Cherkasy, Kirovograd, Dnepropetrovsk and Odessa regions, near which there is a ferry crossing over the Danube.

▪️On the Zaporozhye front, the Armed Forces of Ukraine tried to break through between Rabotino and Novoprokopovka with up to one motorized infantry platoon, one armored vehicle was destroyed, the enemy infantry was scattered by artillery fire. Between settlements of Rabotino and Kopani, the enemy tried in several waves to push through the defenses of our troops, heavy fighting is taking place.

▪️In the Kherson direction, the Armed Forces of Ukraine hold, at the cost of constant losses, narrow sections of the coastline near the Antonovsky and Railway bridges (our heavy flamethrower systems and aviation are constantly operating along them), as well as on Kozatsky Island against Novaya Kakhovka. Two marine brigades deployed to the region are being replenished with personnel, and they report the presence of a significant number of pontoon crossings in the region (previously supplied from Germany). The enemy is hatching plans to occupy the islands with a rush and push through the defenses of the Russian Armed Forces with “meat assaults”, trying to cut off our troops in the southwestern part of the region along the Novaya Kakhovka - Perekop line.

▪️From the southern flank of Artyomovsk they report heavy fighting near Andreevka: the enemy threw up to one infantry battalion into battle with artillery support. Our troops are holding defenses near the railway, meeting the enemy with aviation, artillery and kamikaze UAV fire.

▪️At night, Sevastopol repelled the attack of two marine drones. Previously, the same one was destroyed by aircraft in the northwestern part of the Black Sea. In the Belgorod region, 6 enemy UAVs were shot down, several settlements in the Shebekinsky district were fired upon during the day, and a UAV was shot down over the Grayvoronsky urban district. Drones were also shot down over the Kursk and Bryansk regions. In the DPR, three civilians were killed and 9 were injured by Nazi fire.

American auditor Martin Hart, who investigated corruption in arms supplies to Ukraine, was found dead in Kiev.

Near a residential complex under construction in the Shevchenko district, a cable broke and he was buried under the debris.

Well, of course it's an accident... 😐

Ex-head of the European Commission Jean-Claude Juncker called the promises to accept Ukraine into the EU an "outrageous lie"

"You cannot make false promises to people in Ukraine... I am extremely outraged by some voices in Europe who are trying to make Ukrainians believe that they can become EU members immediately. This will not benefit either the EU or Ukraine," he said.

Juncker also added that anyone who has dealt with Ukraine knows that it is a country that is corrupt in all sectors of society. And despite the efforts, it is not ready to join, large-scale reform processes are needed.

A soldier of the Armed Forces of Ukraine from the 126 Brigade of the Territorial Defense tells how they were tricked into being sent to the front line and used in meat assaults on the Dnepr islands without artillery support.

There are no more than 10 people left in some platoons.

An AFU detachment came under fire while moving along the road.

The wounded man asks to apply a tourniquet to his wound.

The Cossacks took such a perky prisoner in the Lisichansk direction

“They've been pulling me out for half a day. They were fired at, but the boys pulled me out, fed me, gave me something to drink, bandaged me properly, and sent me to the hospital,” says the prisoner.

The footage shows a large number of armored vehicles and dozens of killed Israeli soldiers. Many, apparently, were killed right in the barracks.
