Direct Translation via Google Translate. Edited.

Worth noting, korrespondent.net has compiled its Invasion of Ukraine series into separate months, beginning May 9th, 2023. Linked in the title.

[Korrespondent] 23:52 Switzerland has refused to transfer income from frozen Russian assets stored in Swiss banks to Ukraine, Swissinfo writes. This decision was made "in accordance with Swiss law and international obligations." As of April 2024, more than 7 billion Swiss francs belonging to the Russian Federation are frozen in Switzerland.

23:39 Britain is not allowing Ukraine to use Storm Shadow missiles on Russian territory "over fears of a serious escalation of tensions with Moscow," the Times writes. According to the newspaper, some of London's NATO allies have come to the same decision. Overall, the British government's policy on such strikes "has become so confused that even President Zelensky was confused by a meeting with Keir Starmer," the newspaper notes.

23:27 The Russian army shelled the Korabelnyi district of Kherson in the evening, one person was killed, the OVA reported. Another person was wounded in Kherson as a result of another shelling of the city. In addition, during the day, one person was killed in Antonovka and one was injured in the Belozersk community.

22:34 The Ministry of Defense claims that more than 75% of wounded servicemen return to duty after rehabilitation. "We have a very high percentage of high-quality rehabilitation, return to duty. This is noted by Western partners, those countries that have never had such experience, such a war as ours. This is more than 75% of the wounded. They are after injuries of varying severity," said Deputy Defense Minister Natalia Kalmykova. According to her, today almost every healthcare institution has rehabilitation programs.

21:26 Russian Armed Forces shelled the village of Moskalivka in the Chuguevsky district of the Kharkiv region - as a result of a direct missile hit on a residential building, one person was killed, the prosecutor's office reported. Another person was wounded as a result of an enemy strike on the Kupyansky district.

19:18 Orban spoke of Europe's "self-destruction" and questioned Ukraine's accession to NATO and the EU: "Europe has stopped defending its own interests... All that Europe does today is unconditionally follow the pro-democratic foreign policy of the United States, even at the cost of self-destruction." As for Ukraine, according to the Hungarian Prime Minister, it is unlikely to join NATO or the EU: "We Europeans do not have the money for this. Ukraine will return to the position of a buffer state." At the same time, he added that international security guarantees "will be enshrined in an agreement between the United States and Russia."

17:27 Russians have taken another thousand children from the temporarily occupied territories of the Kherson region to Kabardino-Balkaria for "recuperation," said ombudsman Dmitry Lubinets. According to him, since the beginning of the full-scale invasion, Russia has been systematically taking Ukrainian children aged 6.5 to 16 thousands of kilometers away from home. Most of these children have parents who probably give permission for the child to be taken away. "However, to what extent such a choice is free under occupation remains an open question," Lubinets added.

The Human Rights Commissioner emphasized that children are not only forced to adopt the culture and traditions of an enemy state - a powerful resource is being used to destroy their Ukrainian identity, which in turn is a component of the genocidal policy of the Russian Federation.

17:01 GUR confirmed the destruction of three Russian helicopters and showed a video:

16:32 Zelensky announced that in Ukraine, officers' ranks will be awarded to doctors without a military department: "I have signed a decree - a regulation on military service, regulating the service of persons with medical education and the assignment of primary officer rank to doctors who have not completed a military department."

16:15 Russians fired from MLRS at the Glukhiv community in Sumy Oblast - a total of 13 people were wounded, including seven children. One child later died in hospital, the prosecutor's office reported.

16:06 Zelensky instructed the government to provide funding for the creation of a modern rehabilitation hospital with a module for the reintegration of Ukrainians released from captivity and stabilization points for the uninterrupted provision of medical care in the combat zone.

15:43 In the Volgograd region of the Russian Federation, a Su-34 aircraft crashed during a scheduled training flight. The Russian Defense Ministry reported that the crew ejected.

15:21 This night and morning, GUR drones attacked a military airfield in Engels in the Saratov region, Dyagilevo in the Ryazan region and the Olenya military airfield in the Murmansk region. Also, as a result of the kamikaze drone attack, an oil refinery in Ryazan was hit, Ukrainian media write, citing intelligence sources. As a result of the UAV hit of the Olenya airfield in the Murmansk region, damage to a long-range supersonic bomber-missile carrier TU-22M3 has been preliminarily recorded

The media also reported that recently enemy Mi-28 and Ka-226 helicopters were hit on the territory of the Mil and Kamov National Helicopter Manufacturing Center in the Moscow Region, as well as a multi-purpose Mi-8 helicopter on the territory of the Russian Defense Ministry's Kryazh airfield in Samara.

11:39 Russians shelled a power transmission system and a mine in Ukraine, the Ministry of Energy reported. In particular, on July 26, the enemy shelled power facilities in the Chernihiv region three times, as a result of the attacks, substations and overhead lines were de-energized. In the Dnipropetrovsk region, equipment was damaged at a substation due to a drone attack. In addition, Russian troops shelled a mine in the Donetsk region, causing a fire in the area. At the time of the accident, 86 workers were underground.

11:23 The New York Times writes that Russia complained to the US about Ukraine preparing a "secret operation." According to the newspaper's sources, in July, the new Russian Defense Minister Andrei Belousov called Pentagon chief Lloyd Austin and said that the Russians had learned about the "secret operation" that Ukraine was allegedly preparing in coordination with the Americans. Pentagon representatives were surprised by this statement, and Belousov's statement was taken seriously. Therefore, the US asked Ukraine not to do this. However, the newspaper does not specify what operation was being discussed.

10:31 At night, Russia attacked Ukraine with a Kh-59/Kh-69 guided air missile and four Shahed-type attack UAVs, the Air Force reported. All targets were shot down in the Dnipropetrovsk, Poltava, Kharkiv and Kyiv regions. In addition, over the past and current days, air defense destroyed eight more air targets in the southern and northeastern directions: four Supercam reconnaissance UAVs, one Forpost attack and reconnaissance UAV, one UAV whose type is being determined, and two Lancet loitering munitions.

10:13 Russia attacked Poltava region with drones at night, OVA head Filipp Pronin reported. An industrial facility was damaged, no one was hurt.

09:29 Ermak stated that "the Patriot will be bigger."

08:42 The Russian Defense Ministry announced that 14 UAVs were shot down over the Ryazan Region at night and another seven in the morning. Publics write that the drones were shot down as they approached the oil depot and the Dyagilevo military airfield.

The Russian army has also been recorded advancing near Svatove in the Luhansk region and near Donetsk. Experts note that the Russians are trying to press along the entire front to prevent Ukraine from seizing the initiative on the battlefield.
