📌 The russian army lost more than 2,000 people: about 640 killed, 350 captured, and more than 1,000 seriously wounded. Thirty-seven units of artillery and a massive amount of equipment were seized. It is a complete record of the entire time of the war.
📌 Tonight, it was loud near the Daryivka bridge in the Kherson region. Locals counted about ten explosions. The Ukrainian forces destroyed the occupiers' pontoon crossing near the bridge, one of the most important routes between the southern and northern sectors of the russian presence along the Dnieper. Now it is gone.
📌 Ukraine intends to de-occupy Kherson by the end of 2022. The US states that the Ukrainian Armed Forces have successfully attacked the occupiers' supply lines to cut off and isolate the russian military currently stationed in the south, west of the Dnieper.
📌 The Ukrainian forces broke through the defense deep into the russian-occupied territory north of Izium, towards Kupiansk, the Institute for the Study of War (ISW) reports.
It is confirmed by the Deputy Chief of the General Staff of the Armed Forces of Ukraine, Oleksii Hromov: "In the course of actions in the Kharkiv direction, more than 20 settlements were liberated. The Ukrainian forces wedged into the enemy's defense to a depth of up to 50 km. Filtering operations are currently underway in several settlements."
📌 The Ukrainian military advanced in the Donetsk region and liberated the village of Ozerne from the russian military. In the Kramatorsk direction, units of the Armed Forces of Ukraine improved their tactical position and advanced to a depth of 2 km.
😄 Lend-Lease hasn't started, and russia is asking for the UN Security Council meeting on September 8 regarding Western weapons supply to Ukraine.
📌 The Resistance Movement is also working. A "United Russia" party representative office that made preparations for the "referendum" was blown up on Lomonosova street in the occupied Melitopol, Zaporizhzhia region. Also, in Melitopol, an explosion sounded next to the headquarters of the pro-russian movement and near the house of the russia-appointed "director" of the water company, Yurii Onyshchuk
📌 And the best news for today is the Ukrainian flag over the administration in Balaklia! Our flag is also in Volokhiv Yar (Kharkiv region).

📌 During six months of the war, russia fired about 7 million shells through Ukraine.
📌 putin officials control the filtering of Ukrainians and illegally deported up to 1.6 million citizens. The US Permanent Representative to the UN, Linda Thomas-Greenfield, expressed confidence in this.
📌 The occupiers take Melitopol residents to Moscow and "sentence" them to life imprisonment. According to the city mayor, Ivan Fedorov, since the capture of Melitopol, the ruscists have captured more than 500 people.
📌 From the occupied territories, the russians are launching missiles at Ukraine. Several loud explosions rang out in Nova Kakhovka in the Kherson region around 3 p.m. A fragment of a rocket fell on the house. Apartments are destroyed from the first to the fourth floor. There are victims.
