Russia Ukraine War

"The air defence forces of the Ministry of Defence have repulsed a drone attack performed in Podolsk urban district flying towards Moscow. In accordance with the preliminary data, no damage or casualties were found at the site of the debris fall. Emergency services specialists continue working on the spot," Moscow Mayor Sergei Sobyanin posted on his Telegram account.

This incident marked the first reported loss of the US-supplied aircraft since their arrival earlier this month. 

Polyanskiy spoke about the "Kursk adventure" this August, underlining that Ukraine itself described the attack by Zelensky's regime against the peaceful Russian border area. Evidence, he said, proved that Ukrainian nationalists committed atrocities in the Kursk region: murdered civilians, including pregnant women who were attempting to leave the conflict zone. He further accused Ukrainian forces of attacking civilian cars, drones against ambulances, journalists, and volunteers, looting Russian villages, and publishing their actions online. He also emphasized that the Ukrainian forces are attacking and destroying civilian infrastructure, residential buildings, schools, and even hospitals while displaying Nazi symbols.

The situation is being reported by Syrsky to develop in favor of the Ukrainian military, who are actively inflicting colossal damage on the enemy both in personnel and equipment. The news came from Interfax-Ukraine on Tuesday.

In a news conference in Kyiv, Colonel General Aleksandar Syrsky revealed that the main goal of the Kursk operation had been to draw away large parts of Russian forces from their main frontline, particularly from the regions of Pokrovsk and Kurakhov. At the same time, he insisted that the Russian forces did not give up plans for advancing at Pokrovsk; they have located there the most combat-capable units. "The conditions in both Pokrovsk and Kurakhovsk are very grave," he said.

The strikes were focused in the frontline areas in Ukraine overnight on Chernihiv, Sumy, Kharkiv, and Donetsk. This was according to the Ukraine Air Force Sunday report on Telegram.

Earlier in August, Ukraine launched its biggest cross-border attack on Russia's Kursk. It sent in some of its best-equipped, most experienced soldiers to take Russian territory. Ukrainian officials expressed hopes that the operation would divert pressure from its forces elsewhere along the front line, improving their negotiating position at eventual peace talks with Moscow.
