If everything expected that it would be the rise of the troops and the march through the steppes of the Kherson region, it is in vain.

This seriously affects the morale of the troops."

The next day, the head of our border service also talked with his colleague on this topic, and he also assured him 100% that there would be no offensive. In general, in our understanding of the situation, there really was no idea of just such a format war. We expected that there could be a Donetsk, Luhansk direction. As an option, Kharkov, but we did not expect such aggression."
07:50 The Armed Forces of Ukraine repelled enemy attacks in the Donbass and Zaporozhye, at the same time, in the Nikolaev direction, the invaders stormed the Blagodatny area and achieved partial success, the General Staff said in the morning report .

05:27 The American Institute for the Study of War (ISW) believes that the Russians will not be able to capture more territories in the coming months if events do not unfold in an "unpredictable way." Analysts say Russian offensives in the east have likely exhausted the momentum they gained in late July. The Russians are unable to capitalize on previous successes around Bakhmut and Avdiivka, which is an example of a more fundamental Russian military problem - the inability to turn tactical successes into operational ones.
Over the past 24 hours, the Russians made several unsuccessful ground assaults southwest and southeast of Izyum, a ground offensive southeast of Seversk and northeast and south of Bakhmut. Russian forces have made limited gains west of Donetsk, but have not carried out ground attacks towards the border between Donetsk and Zaporozhye regions. Also, the Russian troops continued to attack the settlements northwest and southwest of Avdiivka, made several assaults on the Kherson-Nikolaev front line and partially advanced east of Nikolaev.
00:42 The "authorities" of the occupied Zaporozhye region reported that the air defense system allegedly repelled three attacks by attack drones on Melitopol in a day.
00:36 Zelensky, in an evening video message, commented on the preparation by the invaders in Mariupol of "the scenery for an absolutely disgusting and absurd trial of Ukrainian defenders": "No matter what the occupiers think, no matter what they plan, the reaction of our state will be absolutely understandable. If this vile trial happens, if our people, in violation of all agreements, international rules, are led into these scenery ... This will be the line beyond which any negotiations are impossible. Russia will cut itself off from negotiations. There will be no more talk. Our state has said everything. Ukraine will not tolerate bullying over people about whom only one thing can be said: they are the heroes of their homeland and they defended the freedom of their people from the invaders.
