[LB] Russian terrorist attack in Yelenovka, repulsed enemy assaults, shelling of Mykolaiv, moratorium on tariff increases. How will the 156th day of the full-scale war be remembered.

Today brought a lot of news, but one of them once again shook all of Ukraine. As a result of a Russian attack on the territory of correctional colony No. 120 in the temporarily captured village of Yelenovka, Volnova district, Donetsk region, about forty people were killed, and about 130 were injured.

Prosecutors of the General Prosecutor's Office have started a pre-trial investigation on the fact of violation of the laws and customs of war (Part 2 of Article 438 of the Criminal Code of Ukraine).

According to the investigation, on July 29, 2022, Russia struck the territory of correctional colony No. 120 in the temporarily captured village of Yelenovka. The OGP clarified that about 40 people died and 130 were injured as a result.

The law enforcement officers established that in this colony the invaders organized a place of detention, where civilians and prisoners of war of the Armed Forces of Ukraine are illegally detained. A pre-trial investigation is ongoing.

The Security Service of Ukraine, the Armed Forces of Ukraine, the Ministry of Internal Affairs and Communications and the Human Rights Commissioner demand that the UN and the Red Cross respond to the terrorist attack by the Russians in Yelenovka.

As a result of the terrorist attack, dozens of Ukrainian prisoners of war were killed, according to the joint statement.

The signatories of the statement emphasize that the explosion is a cynical terrorist act of the Russian Federation, a military provocation and a classic false flag operation, the purpose of which is to cover up war crimes, discredit the Armed Forces of Ukraine, disrupt the supply of Western weapons and increase social tension in Ukrainian society.

Meanwhile, the General Staff of the Ukrainian Armed Forces reported that the Ukrainian Armed Forces repelled the assaults of the occupiers in the Avdievka, Kamianka, Krasnohorivka, and Peski districts.

The Russians advanced in the areas of Soledar, Vershyn and Semihirya, but suffered losses and retreated.

The enemy shelled civilian and military infrastructure in the areas of Ivanivka, Tokarevo, Karierny, Osokorivka, Blagodatny, Kobzartsi and more than thirty other settlements.

Russia hit Nikolaev with cluster shells. Five people died.

The attack took place near a public transport stop.

We will remind, on the evening of July 28, the mayor of Mykolaiv, Oleksandr Sienkovych, announced that the Russian invaders had hit the private sector of the city. The point of delivery of humanitarian aid was also hit. In the morning , the Russian army shelled the school, kindergartens and residential buildings of the regional center. The rocket also hit the water station of the Shipbuilding University.

In the Kherson region, the Armed Forces of Ukraine destroyed one of the important logistical nodes of the occupier - the railway station in Brylivka.

"One of the important logistical hubs of the occupier was destroyed in the region - the railway station in Brylivka. The Russians just brought equipment and ammunition there - everything burned down. They didn't even have time to unload some," Serhiy Khlan, deputy of the Kherson Regional Council, reported on Facebook.

The Council prohibited raising tariffs for the population during the period of martial law and post-war reconstruction.

It is forbidden to raise tariffs for all categories of consumers for: natural gas distribution services, thermal energy (its production, transportation and supply), thermal energy supply services and hot water supply.

The moratorium on price increases was established at the expense of attracting 125 billion hryvnias from international partners. It will operate during the martial law in Ukraine and six months after it.

The parliament passed a law according to which the construction of all new buildings is now possible only with bomb shelters .

The existing civil protection system is not able to fully protect people. Therefore, the question arose about the urgent deployment in Ukraine of a network of protective structures of civil defense capable of ensuring or at least significantly increasing the level of safety of citizens from war crimes, which are committed almost every day by the armed forces of Russian terrorist forces, the document says.

According to the forecasts of people's deputies, the adoption of the Law will ensure the creation of additional measures in the field of construction activities related to the protection of the population from explosions, blast waves, damage by dangerous chemical, radioactive and biologically dangerous substances.

Ukrainian resistance set fire to the fields near Mariupol, - Andryushchenko

[LB] It will be problematic for the Russians to put out the fire.

by Oleksandr Kravchenko


Fields are burning under the temporarily occupied Mariupol. In this way, the Ukrainian resistance prevents the Russians from stealing Ukrainian grain.

This was reported by Petro Andryushchenko , adviser to the mayor of Mariupol .

"The Nemizida resistance group conveys another warm greeting to the occupiers," Andryushchenko wrote.

He added that the fields are burning in the direction of Novoazovsk-Donetsk.
Novoazovsk is the location of a hospital where wounded Azov fighters POWs are receiving treatment.
Nearby are fortifications, warehouses of BC equipment and minefields, so it is difficult to extinguish the fire.

"We hope that the fire will spread to the frost base and there will be ???," Andryushchenko concluded.

We will remind you that in the Primorye district of Mariupol, the Russian occupiers are building "prefab concrete chicken coops" under the guise of high-rise buildings.
