Ukraine repulsed two villages, low salaries are depressed by the Russian army. 193th day of the war

The Ukrainian army announced the liberation of two captured villages in the south and south-east of the country, Russian soldiers, according to British intelligence, lose martial spirit due to low salaries, and the Russian Ministry of Defense “destroys” the BMP, which were probably never in Ukraine. The Mediazone chose the main thing from everything that happened during the day in the war and in connection with the war.

"No rush." ISW and Wall Street Journal talked about an exhausting Russian counterattack of Ukraine in Kherson

The purpose of the counterattack of the Ukrainian army in the south of the country is not an immediate liberation of the captured territories, but a systematic weakening of Russian forces and material and technical supply, experts of the American Institute for the Study of War (ISW) write . In their opinion, Ukrainian forces strive to violate key logistics nodes and thus reduce Russian military potential.

Personnel B, noted in ISW , indicate effective Ukrainian strikes in the West and in the center of the Kherson region.

Wall Street Journal writes about the same in his article. According to the publication, as a result of the counterattack, “Kyiv can achieve progress, forcing Russia to publish the location of its troops and the supply base,” and force it to take a defensive position and even withdraw the troops. The interlocutors of the publication note that Ukraine has neither armored vehicles, nor manpower for a quick offensive, so the military tends to weaken the Russian forces. To do this, they use long -range artillery and missiles to hit the command posts and warehouses of ammunition of Russians.

Advisor to the Office of the President of Ukraine Alexei Antystovich, in a conversation with Wall Street Journal, called this “Putin’s systemic grinding”. “No rush,” he said.

Today, the pro -Russian administration of the Kherson region again reported shelling. According to the TASS correspondent, at least ten explosions were heard in the city. The Strategic Communications Department of the Armed Forces of Ukraine claims that the Antonon bridge was again subjected to shelling.

British intelligence: Russian military losing martial spirit due to problems with salaries

The low morale and problems with discipline among the Russian soldiers fighting in Ukraine are associated not only with fatigue and large losses - the main reason for discontent can be called a small salary, writes the Ministry of Defense of Great Britain.

The income of Russian troops consist of a modest salary, supplemented by a complex set of bonuses and allowances, but the military sent to Ukraine most likely “had serious problems with non -payment of combat awards,” the intelligence report said.

Experts associate this with an ineffective military bureaucracy, an unusual legal status of a “special military operation” and, in some cases, with frank corruption among commanders.

The British military department also notes that the command of the Russian army does not provide for the military personnel in Ukraine with basic allowance: uniforms, weapons and rations, as well as a salary, which almost certainly affects the mood of personnel.

Ukrainian flags over villages in Donetsk and Kherson regions

Ukrainian telegram channels published photographs of the flag of Ukraine in the village of Vysoko Polieu Kherson region, captured by the Russian military shortly after the invasion. This was the first to report the military observer Roman Bochkal. "High Pole - Ours!" He wrote.

The People’s Deputy Yuri Mysyagin with reference to the "fighters from the front" claims that "the Armed Forces of Ukraine was released this village." According to him, the flag was installed over a local hospital this morning.

Later, this information was confirmed in the large pro-Russian telegram channel "Rybar", which publishes information about the war: "A decision was made to withdraw the Airborne Forces units from the perspective on the southern outskirts of the high-floor to avoid the environment."

Mediazona told how the Kherson villagers survive, including from a high -floor, under occupation.

The deputy of Mysyagin also said that on the eve of the Ukrainian military forced the Seversky Donets River and returned control of the village of Ozernaya in the Donetsk region. “There is also information that there was a liberation of the neighboring settlement,” he wrote, without specifying which locality we are talking about.

The telegram channel “Operational ZSU” published a video with the Ukrainian National Guard and Terborne fighter against the background of the flag, who say that they “abused” the lake.

Officially, neither Ukraine nor Russia confirmed this information.

The Russian Ministry of Defense announced the destruction of American BMPs, which the United States did not supply to Ukraine

In today's summary of the Russian military department, Igor Konashenkov announced the destruction of four Bradley Bradley BMP in Ukraine.

However, the United States did not supply these combat vehicles to Kyiv. This was written , among other things, the large pro-Russian telegram channel "Military informant".

“For what reason, such frank nonsense still falls on official briefings, however, in our opinion, in this situation, this may be due to the erroneous identification of the Dutch armored personnel carriers (version of the American M113 ) as the US M2 Bradley BMP,” the post said.

Financial Times: Ukrainian hackers helped destroy the military base, getting to know Russian soldiers from women's accounts

The Financial Times tells the story of the Ukrainian hacker group Hackyourmom , which was able to find the Russian military base near the captured Melitopol in the Zaporizhzhya region, getting acquainted with the soldiers from the fake profiles of “attractive women” in social networks. According to the creator of the group Nikita Knysh, the military sent their photographs, and they geolocied them and transmitted data to the Ukrainian military - a few days later they struck.

Ukraine periodically reports the destruction of warehouses with ammunition or military bases in the occupied city, and, for example, in early August, the Russian Ministry of Defense indirectly confirmed the blow to Melitopol: at a daily briefing, the department recognized the city of Himars missiles.
