Also, the enemy, before escaping, caused serious damage to critical infrastructure that provides electricity, heat and water supply."

The footage shows how the man's head was smashed with a sledgehammer. Also, Russian publics published an alleged commentary by Prigozhin, in which he admitted that it was his mercenaries who carried out the massacre.

Meanwhile, the international Committee against Corruption and Torture Gulagu.net reports, citing its sources in Kyiv and Moscow, that Nuzhin was extradited on an exchange basis - more than 20 Ukrainians were given for him. And a Gulagu.net source in PMC Wagner said that Prigozhin, through his connections in the General Staff and the FSB, set a condition - to pick up Nuzhin and return him at any cost.

Exactly as the Russians did under Stalin. But in those days nobody helped Ukrainians defend themselves.
13:20 Odessa Marines raised the Ukrainian flag in the center of Lvovo, Kherson region.

12:34 After the announcement of partial mobilization in the Russian Federation, about 700 thousand Russians entered Georgia. Of these, about 100 thousand remained, and 600 went on, said Georgian President Salome Zurabishvili. She also said that there are about 30,000 Ukrainians in Georgia who were forced to leave their homes because of the war.

"From time to time there are verbal skirmishes, but in general, the Russians who came to Georgia and stayed there are people who clearly do not want to share the fate of the warring Putin's Russia, do not want to be mobilized," Zurabishvili added.

11:16 Ukrzaliznytsia, together with the UNITED24 platform, launches a charity project Tickets to Victory: tickets for the first trains to de-occupied Ukrainian cities are on sale.

Immediately after the liberation of Donetsk or Lugansk."

09:14 The American Institute for the Study of War (ISW) notes that the withdrawal of Russian troops from Kherson is fueling an ideological split between pro-war figures and Putin, undermining the confidence of his supporters. It is increasingly difficult for Putin to appease part of his electorate due to the inability of the Russian military to achieve its maximalist goals of overthrowing Ukrainian power and seizing all of Ukraine.

Putin's nationalist propagandists, such as Vladimir Solovyov, are increasingly demanding full dedication from the Kremlin and military high command to achieving goals in Ukraine, and Solovyov even called for the full mobilization and dismissal of incompetent officials after the Russians fled Kherson. However, as ISW notes, Putin has likely ordered some of his propagandists to quell any criticism of the Russian withdrawal from Kherson, as many state television news programs omit or downplay the consequences of the withdrawal.

Growing doubts among extreme Russian nationalists about Putin's allegiance to Russian ideology are reducing Putin's appeal among Russian nationalists, analysts say.

Meanwhile, Russian officials approve the forced removal of children from the occupied territories of Ukraine to Russia. In particular, the invaders made a statement about the planned forced transfer of more than 40,000 children from the Kherson region to Russia.

According to updated information, the defeat by the Defense Forces of the occupiers' concentration area in the Kherson region was confirmed. In the area of ​​​​the settlement of Dnepryany, a high-precision strike was inflicted on the building, where there were up to 500 invaders. According to its results, two trucks of the dead invaders were taken to Tavriysk. 56 seriously wounded were delivered to the nearest hospital, of which 16 more soon died. Final information is to be confirmed.

In the Brest region of Belarus, especially in areas where units of the RF Armed Forces are deployed, social tension is significantly increasing. In particular, local hospitals are overwhelmed with work with Russian military personnel who are massively ill due to poor conditions in tent camps. Doctors are forced to refuse service to Belarusians who need treatment.
