They refused to take their positions. For this, their commanders gave the order to disarm them and leave them in the trenches, and to shoot them for leaving, adding to them that they would come out of there only two hundred (killed). Failed Defenders decided to publicize the full weight of their situation by recording a video.
[Yahoo News] "Just so you know... Nastya’s mother called," the local resident says in the message. "And she lives not far from the Antonivskyi Bridge. She says they f*cked it up in half! Get it? It’s f*cking gone. The bridge is no more. Basically, it just shattered into pieces there. There, in the middle of the bridge... Well, basically, there is no bridge... It’s no longer connected at all."
The resident in the message also notes that fragments of the bridge had been blasted as far as the nearby village of Antonivka.
In addition, there is still unconfirmed evidence that at the time of the strike, about 10 Russian KamAZ trucks with ammunition were moving along the bridge, the detonation of which could have caused the destruction of the bridge.
There is no official confirmation of this information yet, however, a photo circulating on social media that captures the moment one of the missiles hit shows an explosion of such power that it could well have lead to the destruction described.

[RFERL] Ukraine's Commander-in-Chief Valeriy Zaluzhniy says nearly 9,000 Ukrainian soldiers have been killed since Russia launched its ongoing unprovoked invasion almost six months ago.
Speaking at forum on August 22, Zaluzhniy said the entire country, and not just the army, is taking part in the war, as children and wives have seen their fathers and husbands "go to the front lines and are maybe among the nearly 9,000 heroes who have been killed" in battle.
Both sides in the war have been extremely cautious in revealing any casualty figures since Russia invaded Ukraine on February 24.
The last time Ukrainian officials announced losses in the armed forces was in April, when President Volodymyr Zelenskiy said that up to 3,000 Ukrainian soldiers had been killed and 10,000 injured.

Numbers are much higher and then you add those unable to return to the battlefield. When Ukrainians are caught on open fields Russian shelling and air superiority will crush those caught in the open. The Russian way is slow and methodical.
Commentary by Russian blogger Donetsk
[DonRF] The FSB announced the establishment of customers and perpetrators of the murder of Darya Dugina.
The murder was planned by the Ukrainian special services.
The direct perpetrator of the murder was a citizen of Ukraine Natalya Vovk born in 1979, who left Russia for Estonia on August 21. Arrived in Russia on July 23.
It is also reported that:
1. Vovk and her daughter Sofya Shaban rented an apartment in the building where Daria Dugina lived in Moscow.
2. A Mini Cooper was used to spy on Daria Dugina. Numbers were changed on it three times - license plates of the DPR, Kazakhstan and Ukraine were used
Well done Chekists. No options But I have questions. Many questions. And the first - as a militant of Azov, calmly drove into Moskva? Why did she change numbers twice, and the whole video recording system overslept this business? How did a citizen of BU enter and leave the country with fake documents? How did she rent an apartment in MSC? How did she follow not the last family in the Russian Federation? Where did she get explosives and technical equipment?
And the answer to all of them is the same - we have peacetime. In peacetime, a citizen of a country with which we are not at war can easily cross the border back and forth, and there will be no special surveillance of her. And the right to stay for 90 days and rent housing is just like that. The irony of fate is that they check the residents of Donbass especially strongly, they check the residents of the liberated territories, they check the Russians who, for some reason, crossed over to the Donbass and were liberated, but if you are a Ukrainian, then the standard procedure. Main registration. Not on the territory of the separatists.
Now the second - it will not be issued. Estonia will not give up a Ukrainian terrorist. No options. Of course, they will ask, but ... In any case, disclosure will have a media effect, they don’t like terrorists, no matter how you excuse them. But the price is outrageous. Women should not die, especially young ones.
And what to do with it is clear is to finish with a cozy, but cozy house, the one in which we hid. With the dreams of a part of the elites about a new Minsk, with peacetime, with carelessness and unpreparedness for anything extreme. This time one person died, next time dozens could die.
I've been saying this for a long time, even before I started. And the worst thing about all this is that they are not afraid. The practice of exchanges, pardons at the request of the relatives of the dead, behind-the-scenes agreements and bargaining has led to the fact that the chances to sit down seriously and for a long time purely statistically tend to zero, and on the counterbalance - orders, money and glory in Kyiv.
Some are surprised that a terrorist went to work with a child. And what is this? What threatened her and the child? The maximum correct detention is 72 hours. If, after the terrorist attack, the child would have been handed over to Kyiv, and she herself ... The story of Taira somehow uncomfortably pricked,
What threatened her? I do not call for an ax or blood feud, but any NORMAL state should be able to protect its citizens and interests. Otherwise it will end badly. For everyone... From top to bottom. And the main thing is not to threaten, we can - hit - no, so keep silent. Although what am I talking about:
If Estonia does not extradite Russia the perpetrator of the murder of Dugina, there are grounds for tough actions against Tallinn, harboring a terrorist, Senator Dzhabarov said.
to remain silent is not our method. Tallinn will not get off with sprats. And I, as a United Russia patriot (in my heart), believe in it. As well as in strikes on decision-making centers. And all you have to do is silently do your job before it's too late:
As a result of a missile attack by Ukrainian troops on the Antonovsky Bridge near Kherson, according to updated data, two people were killed, 16 were injured of varying severity, all of them civilians ... hydroelectric power station and not far from the nuclear power plant, the authorities of the region said.
It's still not too late. These will blow up any object and kill any number of people. And whoever does not believe in this is a very naïve person. The dream of reason in our country, for eight years, gave rise to Ukrainian monsters.
The first portion of the fact is about a suspected citizen of Ukraine (served in Azov) Natalya Vovk (Shaban), who participated in the terrorist attack in Moscow, where Dugin's daughter, Daria, died.
For the sake of surveillance and murder of Darya, the terrorist took her 12-year-old daughter to Russia, using her to divert the eyes of the special services. Like a cover. She lied to her relatives that she went to Europe.
On one of the Ukrainian sites for the sale of cars, a car was displayed today, in which the terrorist arrived in Russia. Danil Shaban, the suspect's son, tried to sell the car. Now he lives in Kyiv and, like his mother, is an Azov fighter.
Now we have to see where it all leads. It will be difficult for Ukraine to deny Vovk participation in a terrorist attack against a Russian journalist. To cover up Vovk, to protect, not to extradite, is to unequivocally sign that Ukraine is a terrorist state using terrorist methods in its practice.
Blame everything on personal initiative? First, it doesn't look like it. Secondly, then Kyiv is also in a stalemate if it does not (and it will not) extradite a terrorist. What especially plays against Kyiv is Natalya from the Nazi Azov regiment, which Zelensky loves so much.
The dungeers themselves are already shying away from Vovk, calling the posted image of Vovk's certificate "another business card of Yarosh." The dung beetles apparently don't remember how the business card story ended. It turned out that the business card really existed. Dmitry Yarosh himself later admitted this, telling in an interview with the Ukrainian portal Censor.NET. A dungeer is a driver of a dilapidated vehicle. Dmitri Yarosh is one of the founder of Red Sector political party and the Ukrainian Volunteer Corps military group. Red Sector is a banned group in the Russian Federation.
The murder of Daria Dugina is condemned by the US State Department. The department reminds that the Kiev regime does not recognize its responsibility, it is sure that the Russians are investigating what happened.
The head of the press service of the State Department, Ned Price , told reporters about this on August 22 , emphasizing that the US Foreign Office "unequivocally condemns attacks on civilians - whether in Kiev, Bucha, Kharkov, Kramatorsk, Mariupol or Moscow."
"I have no doubt that the Russian side is investigating this ,” Price said. “ I also have no doubt that the Russians will draw certain conclusions."
Recall that not all representatives of the Bandera regime deny the involvement of Kyiv in the murder of Dugina.
⚡️The FSB (Russian Intelligence - ed.) published a video of how Ukrainian Natalia Vovk, who is called a suspect in the murder of Daria Dugina, entered Russia with her daughter, entered Dugina's house and left for Estonia. pic.twitter.com/6vPKaTdx13
The father of Natalya Vovk, suspected of the murder of Russian journalist and political scientist Daria Dugina, told RIA Novosti that a few days before Dugina's car was blown up in the Moscow region, his daughter called him, according to her, from the Baltic states.
“Yes, about three or four days ago. The dialogue was: “How are you?” She says: “Everything is fine, everything is fine.” She contacted via the Internet, Skype or something (else). like in Lithuania," the source said.
At the same time, the father of the suspect noted that he did not know how his daughter got to Russia.
His civil wife confirmed that Natalya said she was calling from one of the Baltic countries.
“We talked about three days ago. She said that Lithuania, Latvia; somewhere there. For me it’s the same thing. She had a child and a cat with her, she took the cat,” she said.
Journalist and political scientist Daria Dugina died on the evening of August 20. She was driving a car that burned down on Mozhayskoye Highway in the Odintsovo district of the Moscow region.
According to the preliminary version, an explosive device went off in the car. The Investigative Committee opened a criminal case under the article "Murder committed in a generally dangerous way."
The FSB established that the crime was prepared and committed by the Ukrainian special services, and the perpetrator was Natalya Vovk, who entered Russia on July 23 with her 12-year-old daughter and rented an apartment in the house where Dugin lived.
For some time, Vovk followed the girl, for which she used a Mini Cooper, on which she changed numbers three times. On the day of the murder, she and her daughter were at the Tradition literary and music festival, and after Dugina left the event, she controlled the explosion of her SUV Toyota Land Cruiser Prado. After that, Vovk and the girl left for Estonia.
According to the hacker group RahDit, the 43-year-old Ukrainian woman previously served in the Azov National Battalion, her maiden name is Shaban.
President Vladimir Putin signed a decree posthumously awarding the Order of Courage to Darya Dugina.
Commentary by Russian military journalist Boris Rozhin
[ColonelCassad] Next whiners. This time from the 4th, 5th and 6th companies of one of the rifle battalions of the 93rd brigade of the Armed Forces of Ukraine.
It was in Soledar, they complain that:
1. There are no heavy weapons, only small arms.2. They are constantly attacked by Russian artillery, aviation and tanks.
3. No artillery support. Moreover, their positions were covered by their own Ukrainian Grads.
4. A large number of killed "brothers" remain in positions, whom no one takes away.
5. The wounded are not evacuated either, only those who could walk 2 kilometers to the evacuation point are taken away.
6. The superior commander threatens with executions and declares that this cannon fodder will leave Soledar only after being killed or wounded.
7. Previously, these units already had heavy losses in another unnamed area.
Questions and answers provided by Russian military correspondent Yuri Kotenok
[ColonelCassad] Answers to questions about the course of the SVO for the channel of the military commander Yuri Kotenok.
- Attempts to penetrate the UAV in the Crimea - is it "probing" the air defense before future strikes, or rather, the transition to the tactics of the Yemeni Houthis - constant "bites", some of which will cause tangible damage?
- In my opinion, the air defense capabilities of the Crimea are being probed. Objective information about its work is collected by NATO technical means for further analysis and search for potential vulnerabilities.
Along the way, tasks of a propaganda nature are being solved, related to the very fact of an attack on the Crimea with a penny or completely absent damage. Such attacks, with the full support of NATO, will certainly continue.
Medvedev's empty threats about "judgment day" in the event of attacks on the Crimea, NATO defiantly ignores, considering them insignificant. We should prepare to repel new attacks, as well as strengthen the counter-terrorist regime in Crimea.
— What is your assessment of Erdogan's visit to Lviv? How do the Turks themselves see their role at this stage?
- Erdogan could not achieve much due to the fact that the main levers of governance in Ukraine are in the hands of the United States. Erdogan continues to try to sell himself as the main mediator in Ukraine, but Russia doesn’t really need it and the US doesn’t need it at all, which is why the Turk’s mediation efforts give near-zero output. However, he continues to play his part, maintaining the role of an independent player in the Ukrainian conflict.
So far, Turkey's main benefit is the role of a transport and trade hub between Russia and the West, which allows mitigating the level of the current crisis in the Turkish economy.
- On August 20, in Mariupol, they tried to blow up the mayor of the city of Ivashchenko. How to reduce the activity of the Bandera underground in the liberated territories?
- Terrorist attacks in the liberated territories, of course, will continue exactly to the extent that the counter-terrorism authorities will allow and allow this.
The situation requires the strengthening of the CTO regime in the liberated territories and in the border areas, the recognition of the SBU and the Main Intelligence Directorate of the Ministry of Defense as terrorist organizations with an increased blow to the infrastructure and personalities of terror.
It is also desirable to create some analogue of SMERSH with extended powers (with subordination to either the RF Security Council or the FSB) for actions identical to the actions of the legendary organization during the Second World War.
- How adequate is the point of view that the United States, unlike the UK, is aimed not at further escalation in Ukraine, but at freezing the conflict from its perspective transition to the "Indo-Pakistani" format?
I consider this point of view to be erroneous. The United States and Britain are acting within the framework of the course to intensify the conflict, so the stakes are regularly raised, and the United States remains the largest supplier of weapons to Ukraine, and their range is expanding.
A possible bifurcation point for US policy could be the midterm congressional elections with the expected defeat of the Democrats, which will turn the Biden administration into a "lame duck". But while there is still time before the elections, the United States will continue to increase the degree of escalation of relations with the Russian Federation and China, balancing on the brink of direct war.
- What is behind the negative publications about Zelensky in the Western press? What figure in the Ukrainian elites could be more convenient for the external players who control the Kyiv regime?
- This is a consequence of the internal struggle in the United States, where some groups of influence hit Zelensky as a puppet of the Democrats, hence his frequent criticism on republican resources. In addition, the United States is constantly reminded in this way that he is nothing more than a puppet. This criticism shows that Zelensky is not indispensable.
Figures like Poroshenko, Avakov, one of the generals of the Armed Forces of Ukraine or the SBU can stand on the siding. But with any figure, the puppet essence of such a regime will not change. From the point of view of the United States, such a replacement is only a replacement of a gear in the mechanism of the colonial administration.
- The Deputy Minister of Defense of Poland threatened with a NATO response to the deployment of hypersonic missiles "Dagger" in the Kaliningrad region. Is this a private statement or the position of the Alliance? Why exactly "Daggers" cause such a painful reaction?
“NATO cannot prevent the deployment of hypersonic missiles in Kaliningrad in any other way than by war. Russia has every right to deploy such weapons in Kaliningrad, which are not limited by any treaties.
The worries about the "Daggers" are due to the fact that the existing air defense systems in service with NATO countries are untenable in confrontation with such missiles (progress in this area, according to American experts, is expected no earlier than the second half of the 20s).
It is important to remember that the Kinzhals appeared in Kaliningrad precisely in response to NATO actions, and not vice versa. The unrest about them shows that this was a rather unpleasant step for NATO.
- The Baltic limitrophes are promoting the toughest position towards Russia. Limitrophes is a border area.
- In the medium term, I would not rule out any local provocations on the border of the Russian Federation with the Baltic limitrophes, as well as a renewed threat of a blockade of Kaliningrad.
In addition, the most Russophobic policy will be carried out with the destruction of monuments and the persecution of the Russian population, the Russian language and Russian culture. I believe that these regimes should be officially recognized as Nazi. There is no other meaning for the existence of these pseudo-states, except to act as a military foothold against Russia.
[New Voice of Ukraine] Powerful explosions rocked the city of Sevastopol in Ukraine’s Russian-occupied Crimea on Aug. 22, with reports of the blasts flooding local Telegram messengers.
The explosions were first reported at about 5.50 p.m. Residents say the blasts were so powerful that their walls were shaking.

On social media, users reported blast effects as far away as the town of Inkerman, 10 kilometers to the east of central Sevastopol. There were also reports that the blasts were heard in the village of Ridne, some 20 kilometers east of central Sevastopol.
Social media users reported windows being blown out, windows and curtains shaking, and car alarms being set off by the noise from the explosions.
