  1. The "liberation" or " recapture" of Kherson City must rank alongside other Ukrainian achievements like the liberation/recapture of Snake Island. Another one gained because Russia gave it back! It's hard to gather a proper crowd when the city is almost deserted! Russia returned to the grain deal after written assurances, signed by Zelensky not to use the corridor for military purposes. The little green man is now on a leash! The Russians only left behind 'non-functional' vehicles - that was also in the statement! The Russians shot down or diverted ALL the UA missiles! The UA will not even try to cross the Dnipro River! General Milley is already saying that Ukraine has already achieved all it is likely to, so they should negotiate now. What, no mention of Pavlovka?! Or even Polovikin!. Hawk air-defence systems, the ones the Americans stopped using 20 years ago. The Yanks are dusting off 4 converted pick-ups: Avenger = Stinger from the back of a pick-up. Range 5km! - to add to Ukraine's credit card bill. However, they need to refurbish the Hawk missiles (because they don't work anymore). As yet the US hasn't even arranged a contract for a company to do the repairs! So, likely to arrive sometime next year.. All these systems - Hawk, Avenger, NASAM, etc are way below the capabilities of the S300s Ukraine has lost, and which weren't enough anyway. Enough 155mm rounds to last 3.5 days and 1.75 days of 120mm rounds! Humvees, designed for desert warfare! Note no quantity given for HIMARS missiles! The US admits it can't keep up with the UA loss rate. However, Russia had 6 years to stockpile ammunition, and supply is from NEXT DOOR! Russia is starting to deploy an extra 318,000 mobilized troops, 80,000 new volunteers, has another 10,000 waiting in Belarus, has 900 aircraft parked just inside Russia. Where are Ukraine's reinforcements? The demilitarization continues with another big score yesterday! In Kupyansk direction, two enemy battalion tactical groups made attempts to attack Russian units towards Vladimirovka and Kuzemovka (Lugansk People's Republic). Comprehensive firepower operation has resulted in halting and driving the units of the Armed Forces of Ukraine (AFU) back to their initial positions. Moreover, one company tactical group of the AFU has been neutralised near Peschanoye (Kharkov region). The enemy has lost a total of over 160 personnel, six tanks, and nine armoured fighting vehicles in the abovementioned direction. In Krasny Liman direction, intensive action of Russian forces have resulted in the prevention of attacks intended to be launched by four company tactical groups of the AFU towards Svatovo, Ploshchanka, Makeyevka and Chervonopopovka (Lugansk People's Republic). Attacks launched by Russian artillery and Army Aviation have resulted in the elimination of over 190 Ukrainian personnel, 1 tank, six armoured fighting vehicles, and five motor vehicles. In South Donetsk direction, foreign mercenaries attempted to halt the advance of Russian forces by counterattacks towards Stepnoye, Vladimirovka and Pavlovka (Donetsk People's Republic). Operation of artillery and Army Aviation has resulted in the elimination of over 85 militants, seven armoured fighting vehicles, and two pickups. Operational-Tactical and Army Aviation, Missile Troops and Artillery have neutralised four AFU command posts near Gavrilovka, Aleksandrovka (Kherson region), Zhovtnevoye (Nikolayev region) and Cherneshchina (Kharkov region), as well as 58 artillery units at their firing positions, manpower and hardware in 236 areas. Two U.S.-manufactured AN/TPQ-50 and AN/TPQ-36 counterbattery warfare radars have been destroyed near Lozovaya (Kharkov region) and Zelyonaya Dolina (Donetsk People's Republic). One ordnance depot of 44th Artillery Brigade of the AFU has been destroyed near Varvarovka (Zaporozhye region). One armament and hardware depot has been destroyed near Peschanoye (Kharkov region). Within the counterbattery warfare, one battery of U.S.-manufactured M-777 artillery systems has been neutralised near Kruglyakovka (Kharkov region). Fighter Aviation of Russian Aerospace Forces has shot down one Mi-8 helicopter of Ukrainian Air Force near Yasnaya Polyana (Zaporozhye region). Air defence facilities have shot down six unmanned aerial vehicles near Novaya Tarasovka (Kharkov region), Petrovskoye, Kirillovka (Donetsk People's Republic) and Chistopolye (Zaporozhye region). Moreover, three rocket-propelled projectiles launched by HIMARS and Olkha multiple-launch rocket systems have been intercepted near Novaya Kakhovka, Novaya Mayachka (Kherson region) and Volnovakha (Donetsk People's Republic).
