[Korrespondent] 23:03 Putin said following a meeting with representatives of African countries that the peace plan for Ukraine and the grain deal "have nothing to do with each other." Also, according to him, the provisions of the African Peace Initiative on Ukraine are being implemented - for example, the exchange of prisoners and humanitarian issues. At the same time, Putin called a number of points from the African initiative "difficult to implement" - for example, a ceasefire. "Ukraine is under attack, it is difficult to contact us for this in this situation," the head of the Kremlin said.
Putin stressed that he does not consider command and control of the troops to be his business, therefore he does not receive reports on the "special operation" hourly, but contacts the Ministry of Defense several times a day.
22:02 The press service of the Armed Forces of Ukraine reported a successful strike on the Chongar bridge on the morning of July 29.
21:30 Saudi Arabia plans to hold peace talks on Ukraine, writes The Wall Street Journal. The summit will be held on August 5-6 in the city of Jeddah, representatives of 30 countries have already received invitations.
20:47 Ukrainian forces today continued to move forward on the southern flank around Bakhmut, "there are certain advances," said Anna Malyar. Fighting continues on the northern flank without changing positions. The enemy is now concentrating additional forces and means on the Bakhmut direction. In Bakhmut itself shelling continues from both sides.
On the Kupyansk and Limansk directions, the enemy is active - today there were several attempts to attack - but failed and suffered losses. Fighting is going on in the Avdiivka direction. The enemy is unsuccessfully trying to attack. In the Maryinsky direction, the Russian Federation today stepped up assault operations with the use of equipment, but to no avail. The defense forces repelled all assaults.
In the south today, "we are gradually but surely moving forward in the Berdyansk and Melitopol directions," Malyar said. Fighting continues on all fronts. "Our defenders are doing their work around several settlements. But all the details - when the safety of operations allows," the deputy defense minister added.
18:59 The Russians hit Zaporozhye - a rocket hit open areas, killing two people, said Anatoly Kurtev, secretary of the City Council. The blast wave blew out windows in high-rise buildings and damaged the buildings of an educational institution and a supermarket.
17:16 Polish Prime Minister Mateusz Morawiecki said that about a hundred Wagner PMC mercenaries are moving towards the Suwalski corridor, which connects the Baltic countries with Poland and is located between Belarus and the Kaliningrad region of the Russian Federation. In his opinion, the Wagnerites can disguise themselves as Belarusian border guards and help illegal migrants enter the territory of Poland. In addition, it is possible that they themselves will try to get into Poland, posing as migrants. Morawiecki called it "a step towards a further hybrid attack on Polish territory."
16:12 Zelensky said that today he visited Chasov Yar, Kramatorsk, Slavyansk, Druzhkovka, Konstantinovka in the Donetsk region: “I had the honor to personally congratulate and award the soldiers of the Special Operations Forces on the occasion of their professional day. From what you can talk about now, this is participation in key military operations: Bakhmut in particular, Avdeevka, Krasnogorovka, Marinka, Soledar Together with everyone they defended Kiev and Gostomel, Bucha, Irpen, Moshchun, Makarov, Snake Island - this is also the SSO together with intelligence, together with the "Alfa" and Naval Forces, Kinburn Spit, Kherson. Now, the liberation of Staromayorsky, this is also a result, in particular, of the MTR."
15:25 Several dozen German extremists are fighting in Ukraine, with the majority on the side of Russia, the German Interior Ministry said at the request of Die Welt. Thus, since the beginning of the full-scale invasion of the Russian Federation into Ukraine, German law enforcement officers have recorded the departure from Germany of 61 people involved in extremism or politically motivated crimes. There are both right-wing and left-wing extremists among them. At least 39 people left Germany with the intention of "taking part in hostilities", of which 27 - on the side of Russia, 12 - on the side of Ukraine.
The publication notes that the actual number of Germans fighting in Ukraine is much higher. However, the German authorities only collect data on those associated with extremism. The very fact of participation in hostilities in Ukraine is not punishable by German laws, as long as it is a question of service in regular armies. Another situation is with "volunteer detachments" or "militia", participation in which can already be qualified as mercenarism.

13:50 Zelensky is today in the Bakhmut direction , visited the advanced positions of the Special Operations Forces: "Today I am here to congratulate our soldiers on their professional day, to honor their strength. I heard the report of the commander, talked with the military. Very powerful, very effective. Although You can’t tell the details about the actual operations of the MTR - only with time, but the fulfillment by you guys of the tasks for the sake of Ukraine is really heroic."

Of course, we understand that out of generosity you decided to donate grain to some African countries that are facing certain difficulties. We have great respect for this.
