In order to resist the onslaught of the Armed Forces of Ukraine in the south, the Russians are forced to transfer the most powerful units there from other points of the front.

20:22 The Russians in Bakhmut are trapped and cannot leave the city, Anna Malyar said: “There we are moving along the southern flank.

18:32 Kuleba said that Ukraine will not negotiate with Putin, since his promises cannot be trusted: “As for calls for negotiations with Putin, everyone who asks about this should not ask us, but Mr. Prigozhin. "He had a conflict with Putin. He had successful negotiations with Putin, ended the conflict, agreed on security guarantees, and then Putin killed him ... There is no reason to believe that in any other negotiations Putin will behave differently."
18:19 Putin agreed to visit China - this will be his first trip abroad since the issuance of a warrant for his arrest by the International Criminal Court, writes Bloomberg, citing sources. The Kremlin is preparing Putin's visit to China for the One Belt, One Road forum in October.
17:37 The occupying "authority" of Tokmak, Zaporozhye region, is being transported to another city, Mayor of Melitopol Ivan Fedorov said. According to him, Tokmok is turning "from a front-line city into a fully front-line one."

16:31 During the 13 weeks of the Ukrainian counter-offensive, the Russians were able to destroy only five Leopard 2 tanks out of 71 delivered, writes Forbes.

16:28 Ukraine is preparing the seventh meeting with representatives of foreign diplomatic institutions as part of the work on the Peace Formula, the Office of the President said. The meeting will be devoted to the item of the Formula "Food security". Issues of the grain initiative, port infrastructure and other components of food security will be considered.

15:01 Russian troops are retreating due to the breakthrough of the Armed Forces of the enemy defense line in the Zaporizhia direction, spokesperson of OK Pivden Natalya Gumenyuk said: "When our troops are now advancing directly, the enemy has no chance to fix the torn defense. Therefore, after a while, she finds herself in status "breakthrough". That is, the advance of our troops is obvious in geography. It demonstrates that the enemy forces are retreating."
14:54 Crimean publics report an explosion in Olenevka, where the Russian S-400 complex was destroyed last week. Oleg Kryuchkov, adviser to the "head" of Crimea, said that "grass caught fire" in the steppe.
14:12 Podolyak said that it is impossible to hold elections in Ukraine for a number of reasons: "Firstly, we really have a martial law. We really have a million people who are related to what is happening on the front line today. It is almost impossible to organize elections there." . Another reason, according to the adviser to the head of the OP, is the issue of security due to the constant attacks of Russia.
Another problem is the campaign component: "How to campaign? We do not have a contract, but a mobilized army. People have the right to put forward their candidacies, to carry out certain information response activities. How can we ensure their rights?"
Another reason, according to Podolyak, is the huge number of temporarily displaced people, and in order for them to vote, it is necessary to quickly re-register the voter register. And the last reason is the cost of holding elections. Podolyak stressed that there would be no elections this year for sure, but next year everything would depend on the situation at the front.

13:25 The Vatican said that Pope Francis, with his speech about "the heirs of the great Mother Russia", allegedly did not intend to exalt the imperial past of the Russian Federation, but only intended to "encourage young people to preserve and promote everything that is positive in the great Russian cultural and spiritual heritage, but certainly not to glorify the imperialist logic and government figures mentioned as landmarks of historical periods."

In particular, in the near future, the Russian disinformation system will focus on topics such as "mass mobilization" in Ukraine, to which all citizens will allegedly be subject, regardless of gender, age and state of health; "total corruption"; "Ukrainian partners' disbelief in the possibility of victory" and theses about "peace in exchange for territories"; Ukrainian counter-offensive, allegedly without success. At the same time, the propaganda media will talk about the alleged "wonderful life" in the occupied territories.

He assured that the Ukrainian forces are already working to increase their counter-sabotage and defense capabilities.
Naev recalled that a number of joint CSTO exercises are planned to be held in Belarus in September, which can be used as a legitimization of the military build-up.
