The ZNPP power output line to the energy system of Ukraine has been restored, work is underway to prepare the connection of two ZNPP power units to the grid.
09:34 The seizure of Ukrainian power plants by Russia is part of its strategy to create an energy crisis in Europe, said US State Department spokesman Vedant Patel. He stressed that the Zaporozhye NPP and its electricity rightfully belong to Ukraine, so any attempts to turn off the plant and transfer it to the territories occupied by Russia are unacceptable.
09:21 There were no shellings in Kharkiv tonight, but there were shellings in the Kharkiv and Chuguev districts of the region, Oleg Sinegubov, head of the OVA, said. An educational institution was destroyed in Dergachi, one person died, one was injured. In the Chuguevsky district, one dead, two wounded.
09:02 The IAEA mission to the Zaporozhye NPP is scheduled for next week , Lana Zerkal, adviser to the head of the Ministry of Energy, said: “A visit of the IAEA representatives is scheduled next week, and now all logistics routes are being decided, how they will get there. Despite the fact that the Russians agreed that the mission will travel through the territory of Ukraine, they artificially create all the conditions for the delegation not to reach the facility, given the situation around it."
08:57 British intelligence called Shoigu's statement about the deliberate slowdown of the "special operation" as disinformation. The Russian offensive has stalled due to scant Russian military action and fierce Ukrainian resistance. On the orders of Shoigu, the forces operating in Ukraine repeatedly violated the planned operational deadlines, analysts say. Intelligence also reports that Shoigu and Putin very likely fired at least six generals for not moving forward fast enough.
On the day of Shoigu's speech, a Russian Iskander ballistic missile struck a train in the town of Chaplino, reportedly killing at least two children. This highlights Russia's willingness to inflict collateral damage when it sees a military advantage in launching missile or artillery strikes, British intelligence said.
08:50 The US State Department called on the Russian Federation to immediately stop the practice of "filtration camps" for Ukrainians and forced deportations after the publication of an expert report by the Conflict Observatory group, which once again documented such practices by Russia in the occupied territories.
08:42 In the Donetsk region over the past day, two civilians died from Russian shelling - in Seversk and Zelenopolye. Another six people were injured, said the head of the OVA, Pavel Kirilenko.
08:31 Russia, attracting ORDLO militants, has set up 21 camps in the occupied territories in Ukraine, which it uses to detain, interrogate and process Ukrainian prisoners of war and civilians. Thus, a whole filtering system has been created to "sort" people in the areas of occupation on the model of the fascist, writes Reuters.
07:46 The Russians fought an offensive battle near Soledar, Bakhmut and Kodema in the Bakhmut direction, but to no avail, the General Staff of the Armed Forces of Ukraine reported in the morning report .
05:47 The American Institute for the Study of War (ISW) believes that Putin's order to increase the army indicates that he is unlikely to order mass mobilization in the near future. According to analysts, the Kremlin is unlikely to reach the final strength of 1.15 million soldiers, as envisaged by the decree, because historically the Russian armed forces have not reached the goal of the final strength.
Russia may use the October 2022 autumn conscription, which should draw about 130,000 people to make up for its losses. Also, the Kremlin may formally include the "LDNR" and / or new Russian volunteer units in the Russian armed forces. In any case, the net increase in Russian combat power will be very small, experts predict.
03:29 Despite the complete failure in the war, Putin has not abandoned the plan to capture most of Ukraine, said US Under Secretary of Defense for Political Affairs Colin Kahl. According to him, Putin also continues to pursue the goal of a change of power in Kyiv: "Putin's strategy now is to wait out the Ukrainians. That is, to increase the offensive when people are exhausted from the war." As for Europe, according to the American official, Putin is waiting for them to get tired of high energy prices.
03:10 Scholz said that Germany in the issue of arms supplies to Ukraine will adhere to the principle formulated by the United States - not to supply weapons with which you can shell the territory of the Russian Federation.

Olga Kolobova is a member of Russia's infamous network of deep-cover 'illegals'
She lived a double life, spying for the Kremlin as 'Maria Adela Kuhfeldt Rivera'
Kolobova assumed the 'Maria' alias as early as 2006 and travelled through Europe, southeast Asia and the Middle East, spending lots of time in Italy
She settled in Naples - the home of NATO Allied Joint Force Command - where she ran a jewellery store and befriended dozens of NATO and US military officials
Kolobova returned to Moscow in 2018 and was never caught by authorities
Bellingcat's investigation claimed she had access to many NATO officials who likely had access to sensitive information desired by her superiors at the Kremlin

Must be a real strain to keep both lives apart. It also shows spies don't solely make their bones by finding an AHA! recipe for a new bomb.
It's smaller stuff in large amounts over time allowing analysts to build a picture.
So one of her friends says hubby's being TDY to Taiwan. No big deal but it turns out, from other sources, that he's the thirty-fifth this month. An op is laid on to hang out there to find out what's going on.
Keeps everybody busy.

Service connected would see this first. No spare parts or equipment. Biden promised Ukraine billions yet again. Some things will take three years to supply. Putin's fault. Problem now is Ukrainian fielding experienced personnel are depleted. Each so called advance the other day never advanced a thing for them. Many deaths occurred. Some troops realized and without orders backed down. 60 drones versus over Russia's 1000. 6000 shells rained down in a day some places. Russian slow and methodical advance to avoid civilian casualties. Why, Russians have families living in Ukraine. They are brothers. I realize this sounds like Russian propaganda but that is why the progress of Russia is so slow. Basically allowing civilians to leave to avoid being killed as each area of Ukrainian cities are encircled.

Foggy Bottom aka US State Department Foreign Military Sales (FMS) folks no longer report on FMS.
No public info available on types of equipment, dollar amounts, or destinations.

Summer of '72 we fired on the LAW range with actual LAWs. Summer of '73 we fired on the LAW range with sub-caliber rounds in used LAW tubes. The stockpile of LAWs was depleted reinforcing and resupplying the South Vietnamese successful repulse of the first North Vietnamese invasion following the US withdraw. What else is new?
Tanks that were to be sent for the defense of the American territory of the Philippines were redirected to the British in North Africa prior to December '41.
No spare parts or equipment.
Welcome to the US military in the post Vietnam period. Didn't change till Reagan took office.
Did we forget the drugs, race riots, AWOLs, etc?
Today the command promotes race division.
