Battlefield update:

Sumy, Chernihiv:

๐Ÿ‡ท๐Ÿ‡บ restarted shelling, after a pause of several weeks.

Kharkiv:

๐Ÿ‡ท๐Ÿ‡บ started bombing with Iskander missiles, small tactical actions. There are wounded and killed. Near Balakliia, after ๐Ÿ‡บ๐Ÿ‡ฆ advances ๐Ÿ‡ท๐Ÿ‡บ attempted a counter-attack, but did not succeed.

Izium:

Ukrainian Kulchytsky battalion put up a flag in the ๐Ÿ‡บ๐Ÿ‡ฆ-controlled part of Sviatohirsk, which was already reportedly captured by ๐Ÿ‡ท๐Ÿ‡บ more than month ago.

Siversk:

Similar unsuccessful ๐Ÿ‡ท๐Ÿ‡บ attempts to advance near Siversky Donets river. More concentrated attempts from Spirne to Vyimka, also without success.

Bakhmut:

Concentration of ๐Ÿ‡ท๐Ÿ‡บ forces in this area with an objective to reach M-03 crossroads, Krasna Hora and Zaitseve, then encircle.

Avdiivka:

๐Ÿ‡ท๐Ÿ‡บ trying to encircle from Vesele/Krasnohorivka, advances couple hundreds of metres in grey zone, without pushing ๐Ÿ‡บ๐Ÿ‡ฆ back. ๐Ÿ‡ท๐Ÿ‡บ has returned to traditional method of local artillery concentration, failed due to timely ๐Ÿ‡บ๐Ÿ‡ฆ artillery involvement. Near Pisky ๐Ÿ‡ท๐Ÿ‡บ attempts from 3 sides, no progress, ๐Ÿ‡บ๐Ÿ‡ฆ infantry holding. At Marinka: failed ๐Ÿ‡ท๐Ÿ‡บ attack

Vuhledar:

๐Ÿ‡ท๐Ÿ‡บ attempting counter-attack on Pavlivka.

Zaporozhye:

Shelling of the Zaporizhye nuclear reactor is a provocation by Russia.

Kherson:

๐Ÿ‡บ๐Ÿ‡ฆ aviation working in unexpectedly large groups (4-5 pairs of aircraft), multiple sorties during daylight, some to the east coast of Dnipro river. There haven’t been such large air-raids in this war. Either ๐Ÿ‡ท๐Ÿ‡บ doesn’t have any working air-defense, or it’s very limited. This was objective in last 2 weeks, with multiple hits on air-defences and ammo warehouses. Aviation has larger firepower than artillery, if this keeps happening for several days, it’s not a good outlook for ๐Ÿ‡ท๐Ÿ‡บ. ๐Ÿ‡บ๐Ÿ‡ฆ hits on Beryslav, Nova Kahovka, Kahovka, Oleshky, Chornobaivka.
Information, that ๐Ÿ‡ท๐Ÿ‡บ considering to speed up Kherson referendum, before or near ๐Ÿ‡บ๐Ÿ‡ฆ independence day [August 24], but ๐Ÿ‡บ๐Ÿ‡ฆ will disrupt that too.

Kharkiv, Mykolaiv, Nikopol:

Continued systematic bombing, indiscriminately at civilian objects, many wounded and killed every day.

Volodymyr Saldo:

Rumours of ๐Ÿ‡ท๐Ÿ‡บ collaborator Saldo being in medical coma, relocated to Crimea. Update later in stream – Saldo got poisoned with non-fresh alcohol. That will keep happening until Kherson is liberated.

Stealing in occupied territories:

๐Ÿ‡ท๐Ÿ‡บ minister of agriculture Dmitry Patrushev is involved in ๐Ÿ‡ท๐Ÿ‡บ stolen grain deals, his father Nikolai Patrushev is secretary of ๐Ÿ‡ท๐Ÿ‡บ Security council, and previously director of FSB, belonging to Putin’s inner circles. There are gang wars between ๐Ÿ‡ท๐Ÿ‡บ officials for stealing harvesters and other equipment.

๐Ÿ‡ท๐Ÿ‡บ ships:

2 separate videos, white smoke from diesel engine exhaust. ๐Ÿ‡บ๐Ÿ‡ฆ would report hitting or sinking, if it was its operation.

๐Ÿ‡น๐Ÿ‡ท Erdogan met Putin:

Drones weren’t discussed. No change of ๐Ÿ‡น๐Ÿ‡ท politics. Erdogan is working for ๐Ÿ‡น๐Ÿ‡ท interests in the region, there have been military clashes, and if necessary he could hit ๐Ÿ‡ท๐Ÿ‡บ aircraft tomorrow. Erdogan is not going to bend to Putin, he is going to exploit, as much as ๐Ÿ‡ท๐Ÿ‡บ allows.

Nuclear threats:

๐Ÿ‡จ๐Ÿ‡ณ China calls for nuclear no-use deal. ๐Ÿ‡ท๐Ÿ‡บ delegation in ๐Ÿ‡บ๐Ÿ‡ณ UN claims that use of nuclear weapons in ๐Ÿ‡บ๐Ÿ‡ฆ is not in their doctrine. ๐Ÿ‡ท๐Ÿ‡บ desperately wants cease-fire and peace talks, thus provocation in Enerhodar Nuclear power plant, conveniently when Nuclear forum is ongoing.

Visas for ๐Ÿ‡ท๐Ÿ‡บ citizens:

๐Ÿ‡ฑ๐Ÿ‡ป Latvia stopped issuing visas to ๐Ÿ‡ท๐Ÿ‡บ citizens, except for funerals of close relatives. Similar proposals in ๐Ÿ‡ง๐Ÿ‡ฌ Bulgaria, ๐Ÿ‡ช๐Ÿ‡ชEstonia and ๐Ÿ‡ซ๐Ÿ‡ฎFinland.
Everyone who really wanted to escape, had 6 months to do so. Problem is, that governments and border guards can’t check – who is a good Russian, and who isn’t, it’s impossible to verify everyone. It’s an attempt to fight infiltration, create isolation, increase social pressure on Putin, and force ๐Ÿ‡ท๐Ÿ‡บ society to take collective responsibility. It’s a needed to break trend of war approval.

War approval:

๐Ÿ‡ท๐Ÿ‡บ is significantly afraid of any ๐Ÿ‡บ๐Ÿ‡ฆ success, which would be a threat to ๐Ÿ‡ท๐Ÿ‡บ war approval trend. That’s why ๐Ÿ‡ท๐Ÿ‡บ needs to advance, even if it’s 100 meters with huge losses, to keep the trend of being victorious and advancing. If they switch to defence, they will sooner or later lose. There was already huge backlash for retreating from Snake island. Even signing peace deal, which is humiliating, would be better perceived, than ๐Ÿ‡บ๐Ÿ‡ฆ success. It’s time to do counter-offensive.
