[NewsFrontInfo] 22:41 The RF Armed Forces are crushing the enemy in the direction of Russian and Cherkasy Tishok north of the northeastern outskirts of Kharkov. Fighting at Dementievka. Attacks on Kharkov and Chuguev - almost on a daily basis. The enemy continues shelling the border areas of the Belgorod and Kursk regions.

21:42 There are reports of a new attempt to break through the Armed Forces of Ukraine in the Kherson region. This time - near the village of Dobryanka. And as usual, the Ukrainians "advance" without fire support and armored vehicles. RF Armed Forces cover them with artillery

20:58 Explosions in Vinnitsa, Kirovohrad and Dnepropetrovsk regions, alarms cover Ukraine, a few minutes ago they roared only in the west of the country. Explosions in the city of Kropyvnytskyi in the Kirovograd region. Explosions are also reported in Uman and the Poltava region.

19:57 Armed Forces of Ukraine began to use American AGM-88 HARM anti-radar missiles

The remains of this missile were found at the positions of the RF Armed Forces. The maximum launch range is 150 kilometers, the minimum is 25. These missiles have a passive radar homing head and are aimed at radar stations.

18:41 High ("yellow") level of terrorist threat in Sevastopol has been extended for a week, until August 14, the city government said

17:46 What do the strikes of the Armed Forces of Ukraine on the nuclear power plant in Energodar say

Yesterday, the Armed Forces of Ukraine fired twice at the Zaporozhye nuclear power plant, the largest in Europe. A fire broke out at the facility, due to which electricity and water were lost in Energodar, located next to the station. A garage cooperative also came under fire from the Armed Forces of Ukraine: several cars of local residents burned down.

Today the situation repeated itself: the Ukrainian MLRS "Hurricane" again hit the ZNPP.

What exactly are dangerous attacks occurred?

▪️The shells fired yesterday hit the open switchgear (ORU), which is responsible for the transmission of energy from nuclear power plants in Zaporozhye, Melitopol and Nikopol. Due to the hits, the equipment of power unit No. 3 was de-energized, and the station personnel had to reduce the power at power unit No. 4.

The munitions also damaged the water pipelines, causing the gas flowing through them to ignite.

▪️The Armed Forces of Ukraine deliberately aimed at the new section of the outdoor switchgear, through which electricity goes to Kakhovka: it is through this section that they plan to connect the Zaporizhzhya NPP to the Russian power grid.

▪️Today's blow hit the spent nuclear fuel (SNF) storage facility. The MLRS shells did not damage the containers themselves and hit the roof of the loading tractor garage.

What do the Kyiv authorities plan to achieve with this?

🔹The purpose of the Armed Forces of Ukraine is to cause panic among the inhabitants of Energodar with the threat of a man-made environmental disaster.
🔹In Kyiv, they want to artificially provoke a mass exodus of the population of the liberated territories of Zaporozhye and call into question the legitimacy of the future referendum.
🔹For the Ukrainian authorities, these people are no longer considered “their own (https://t.me/rybar/36160)”, so they will sacrifice their lives without hesitation for the sake of their tasks.
🔹The Zaporozhye NPP feeds, among other things, the Ukrainian territories. Stopping work is fraught with a power outage in the lands controlled by Kyiv. The Armed Forces of Ukraine cannot fail to understand this, and the shelling of the ZNPP is carried out deliberately.

16:43 Servicemen of the Russian Armed Forces in the Zaporozhye region delivered humanitarian aid to settlements for civilians to the very front

Food packages were provided and collected by volunteers of the headquarters of "We are together with Russia", the Young Guard of "United Russia" and "Combat Brotherhood". Assistance from Russia was received by residents of the villages of Staromlynovka, Volodino, Staromayorovka, Lyubimovka, Sladkovodnoe, Orlinskoye, Zaporizhzhya and others, which are under constant shelling of the Armed Forces of Ukraine.

Both volunteers and the Russian military are aware of the importance and necessity of helping every person who suffers from fascist attacks by the armed forces of Ukraine. Therefore, despite the risks, targeted assistance is provided in remote villages, visiting every house and providing the necessary assistance.

15:43 Another prisoner of war taken by our guys.

And another confirmation that no one really uses the supplied Western weapons. As the prisoner of war himself says, “I just watched.” The question remains open: what is the point of stuffing Ukraine with weapons that military personnel do not even know how to use?
