19:11 Office of the President of Ukraine says Russian "pseudo-referenda" will negate the slightest chance of ending the war through diplomacy - Reuters
18:16 The Armed Forces of Ukraine are now shelling the village of Tyotkino in the Kursk region.
This was announced by the governor of the region Roman Starovoit. The warning system went off in the village, the residents are in shelter.
The head of the region added that as a result of another Ukrainian attack today in Volfin, a 60-year-old woman was injured, who at that moment was working in the garden. She was hospitalized with shrapnel wounds.
At least six arrivals were recorded in the village.
18:16 The Office of the President reacted to the flow of information about the holding of "referendums" in the territories of Ukraine controlled by the Russian Federation.
The head of the Presidential Office, Andriy Yermak, called it "naive blackmail" and said that "the threat can only be eliminated by force."
17:19 Ukrainian artillery shelled the village of Shchebekino in the Belgorod region. Smoke from the arrival of a shell is visible from the village.
Since the “regrouping”, the Armed Forces of Ukraine have been regularly shelling the border areas of the Belgorod region. The goal is ordinary terror: the Ukrainian command does not care that in settlements there are most often no military targets or even a hint of the presence of the Russian Armed Forces.
How can this be stopped in the short term? Continuous monitoring of the border and instant defeat of all targets. And in this, Iranian strike UAVs, capable of being in the air for a long time and detecting artillery installations and sabotage groups of the Armed Forces of Ukraine from a long range, can very well be away.
And the appearance on the front lines of these shock drones, according to rumors, is just around the corner.

16:09 Russian security forces uncovered an agent of the Ukrainian special services - a retired colonel of the SBU and head of the Kherson branch of the Kharkov University of the Air Force Sapoga, who recruited his former students for spying in favor of the Kyiv regime, saidRIA Novosti source
15:12 18+ Hard shots. Photos and videos obtained by RIA Novosti, refute Kyiv's allegations about alleged mass executions of Ukrainian military personnel near the city of Izyum in the Kharkiv region.
The materials date back to May of this year - they show dozens of Ukrainian soldiers who died in battles with the armed forces of Russia with bullet and mine-explosive injuries. At least some of the bodies show signs of decomposition, and appear to have been left out in the open for a long time.
14:32 Russian Defense Ministry briefing:
- The RF Armed Forces destroyed more than 120 Ukrainian military strikes on the deployment points of three brigades of the Armed Forces of Ukraine in the Kharkiv region and the DPR;
- The RF Armed Forces destroyed five depots of weapons and ammunition of the Armed Forces of Ukraine in the DPR, Dnipropetrovsk and Zaporozhye regions;
- The Armed Forces of Ukraine fired five times at an electrical substation near the Zaporozhye nuclear power plant during the day. The radiation situation at ZNPP is normal;
— The Armed Forces of Ukraine fired 24 artillery shells from the settlement of Nikopol in a day towards the Zaporozhye NPP;
- Russian troops destroyed the workshops of the armored plant in Nikolaev, where military equipment of the 59th Motorized Infantry Brigade of the Armed Forces of Ukraine was being repaired;

13:27 An interesting situation is developing in the Nikolaev-Krivoy Rog direction.
The grouping of the Armed Forces leaves no attempts to resume the offensive and is clearly in a hurry.
At the same time, the defeat of units of the 28th Brigade in the area of the village of Pravdino and the isolation of the forces of the 24th, 57th and 46th brigades at the “Andreevsky bridgehead” significantly reduced the combat capability of the Ukrainian group on the right flank and in the center of the battle order.
At the same time, the Armed Forces of Ukraine are trying to transfer part of their efforts to the Kryvyi Rih direction, but so far it has turned out poorly.
It would seem that it is worth pulling up reserves in order to prevent the collapse of the entire defense system in this direction.
But instead, the General Staff of the Armed Forces of Ukraine is building up a grouping near Artyomovsk, where Wagner PMC fighters are still operating with relative success, and also concentrating significant efforts in the Oskol and Kharkov directions.
Thus, the Armed Forces of Ukraine are trying to consolidate the operational success of the past three weeks of fighting, but jeopardize the entire strategic plan of the operation to defend the country.
This indicates that the planning horizon in Kyiv has been significantly reduced and the regime is struggling to achieve at least some success right now.
