According to a report, russian drones targeted Kyiv on Sunday but were intercepted. Reportedly, Russia said it destroyed 8 ukrainian drones near the Crimea peninsula and Russia’s defence ministry said its naval craft destroyed three military speed boats carrying marines, heading towards Crimea. According to the report, just days after Russia said it destroyed four ukrainian speed boats off Crimea.
Reportedly, progress in Ukraine’s summer offensive has been slow but they are making steady progress and have recovered 50% of the ground Russia seized. According to the report, ukrainian progress is also down to the international community applying economic and diplomatic pressure, and Russia is suffering. Reportedly, there are 30 days or so before the weather hinders the counteroffensive.
According to a report, Ukraine’s head of military intelligence said, in terms of creativity and flexibility we still have an edge over them. They are rather outdated. They miserably fail with their tactics but are adapting and trying to change tactics and their tactics do have some improvements. For instance they have switched to a mass use of drones.
Reportedly, speaking to western allies, Ukraine’s new defence minister said, we are grateful for all the support provided. We need more heavy weapons and we need them today.
