A special forces operative of the Defence Intelligence of Ukraine single-handedly held back an enemy assault in the Kupiansk sector. In response to the Ukrainian soldier's fierce resistance, the occupiers resorted to prohibited tactics — they used poisonous gas and then shelled the position heavily with mortars and FPV drones. The soldier was successfully evacuated.

Interesting story from a Russian mobilised man titled "mistakes at war" about the new battalion commander's decision to relocate mortars closer to infantry which led to devastating losses from Ukrainian drones, resulting in more casualties in three weeks than in the previous 2.5 years. The shortage of qualified personnel on the Russian side is real.

Morning of 30 August: unidentified drones attacked the city of Kaluga in Russia, some 500 km away from the border with Ukraine. Local governor claims that four UAVs were shot down. Two UAVs were shot down on approach to the city's international airport, causing damage. The drone also hit the former Volkswagen plant, which recently reopened after a change in German ownership.

President Zelenskiy addressing the nation on Ukraine's Independence Day: 🔵Ukrainians always repay their debts. Those who wished disaster upon our land will see it come to their own homes—with interest. 🔵Anyone who sought to turn our country into a buffer zone should worry about their own nation becoming a buffer federation. 🔵Our people should never have known the cursed places like Savasleyka, Olenya, and Engels. Sadly, they do. And now, our enemy must understand what Ukrainian retribution means. 🔵To any location within the Russian Federation that poses a threat to our state and our people, a Ukrainian response will inevitably come. 🔵We will not allow our land, where the Blue and Yellow flag belongs, to be turned into a grey zone. 🔵The sick old man in Red Square, who constantly threatens the world with a Red Button, will not dictate his Red Lines. Repost this so the world knows.

Footage of the 28th Brigade repelling an assault on a Ukrainian position made from commander's first-person view. "Interestingly, unlike ordinary units, these characters were well-equipped and prepared. The enemy expected to do everything quickly, but thanks to the coordinated actions of the infantry, artillery and UAV operators, the plan of the invaders literally fell apart from the very beginning." - https://t.co/Wabhut3YPA

Russian military personnel show the latest video from Bakhmut. The city was simply wiped off the face of the earth by people who know nothing but destruction. Now, look at the city in which you live. Can you imagine the same destruction? Or do you think they won't do the same with your European city? You think they won't send a missile at your local children's hospital? Arm Ukrainians now to stop this evil in its tracks.

While Ukraine aims at Russian military targets, the Russians continue to indiscriminately target residential areas, launching missiles at hospitals in broad daylight, like today in Chernihiv. A little later they will certainly announce that a "French mercenary base” or something like that was attacked. Even if military personnel were treated there, such a strike on a civilian object is undoubtedly a war crime. Western “partners” who have lost their balls, as always, watch from the sidelines and condemn. After all, there were no US military bases in this hospital.
