Ukraine: The President of Ukraine made a suggestion that retaliation in the Kherson region was progressing when he thanked his troops for capturing three settlements—two in the east, one in the south, and more in the east of the country.
President Volodymyr Zelensky did not specify the location of the areas or give a timeline, other than to say that his military commanders and intelligence chief had given him a "good report" at a meeting on Sunday.
Zelensky, in his nightly video address, thanked his troops for liberating two southern settlements in addition to liberating one settlement in the eastern Donetsk region and taking "some heights" in another eastern sector in the Lisichansk-Siversk direction.
According to Zelensky, Ukrainian flags are going back to their proper places.
The remark appears to be in reference to a photo of Ukrainian soldiers waving their flag at what appears to be a hospital in Vysokoplya, west of the Dnipro River in the Kherson region, which was widely shared on social media on Sunday. was.
Earlier on Sunday, the deputy head of the presidential office, Kyrylo Tymoshenko, posted a photo of soldiers hoisting the Ukrainian flag over a village, at which he identified the southern region as the main target of retaliation.
Kherson region of Ukraine; Vasocopilia. Today," Tymoshenko wrote on the picture in a Facebook post.
The Kherson region, which is close to the Crimean peninsula and was invaded and occupied by Moscow in February and March 2014, was occupied by Russian forces early in the current conflict.
In early July, pro-Russian separatists in the Luhansk region seized Lischansk as part of a conflict over the Ukrainian coal mining region east of the Donbass, which includes Sievers.
With the aid of heavy weapons supplied by the West, Ukraine vowed to retake the area and halt the Russian advance.
Ukrainian victories are disputed by the Russian Defense Ministry.
The Ukrainian General Staff reported that more than 24 airstrikes were recorded by the Russian military in a 24-hour period.
Without providing further details, the report claimed that both military and civilian sites were attacked.
The report stated that the enemy began to use the older S-300 anti-aircraft guided missiles more frequently because no high-precision weapons were available. According to the report, more than 500 of these missiles have already been fired at Ukrainian targets.
How long international nuclear inspectors will be able to stay in a troubled Ukrainian nuclear reactor is still up to the air, according to Russian forces.
Fighting at the Russian-controlled Zaporizhzhya nuclear power plant in southern Ukraine has also raged when foreign inspectors were present.
“As far as the mission is concerned, it will continue on a temporary basis until September 5. This means that they will continue to work on Monday, according to a message from Vladimir Rogov on Telegram.
Rogov is the head of the local government that Russia has set up in Enerhodar, the city that houses the nuclear plant.
"And they will leave on the sixth. But that is not yet determined. They may extend their stay, he said, according to Komsomolskaya Pravda, a Russian radio station.
According to Rogov, there was no dispute near the reactor on Sunday. Arriving on a mission to inspect the power plant, which is currently located in the middle of a war zone, IAEA inspectors reported hearing shots on Saturday.
According to spokesman Dmitry Peskov, even in the midst of long-running tensions between Russia and the West, the Kremlin is hopeful that things will eventually return to normal.
According to the Interfax news agency, Peskov said on state television that "every confrontation ends with ease of tension, and every crisis situation ends at the negotiating table."
The same thing applies at this time as well. On the TV show "Moscow. Kremlin. Putin", he predicted that this may not happen immediately but will happen nonetheless.
Peskov continued by saying that Russia supports international cooperation based on respect and mutual benefit and accused the US of adopting a "cowboy" attitude, without naming specifics.
