"I read an article by an Australian military expert, a general, about Gerasimov. The article is titled 'more dangerous than the enemy'. Surely, after this article, the Ukrainians will carefully monitor the movements of the 'great commander' so as not to be hit inadvertently. Such military command shit is very important for the victory of the enemy..." This was written on Telegram by the head of Wagner Yevgeny Prigozhin, attacking again the Russian Chief of Staff Valery Gerasimov. Prigozhin also called for letting him "go with Little Red Riding Hood at your invitation to Bakhmut," adding that "they are in no danger unless their own people beat them. Ukrainians kiss the ass of these leaders and protect them, they are the key to their success."
"Ukrainian forces have gained at least a kilometer of territory at Bakhmut as the Russians retreat." This reflects the "lack of credible combat units." This was stated in its latest briefing by British intelligence, writes the Guardian. The area is tactically significant because it is a Russian bridgehead on the western side of the Donets-Donbass canal, which marks the front line, the British ministry specified in its update, posted on Twitter.
"Sixth air strike on the capital since the beginning of May". This was written on Telegram by the head of the military administration of the city of Kiev, Serhiy Popko, reporting on an attack that took place last night against the capital. "This time, the enemy launched an attack using only unmanned aerial vehicles. During the last air warning, which lasted 2.5 hours in Kiev, Iranian 'Shahed' ammunition was detected in the airspace towards the capital. All enemy drones that were moving towards Kiev were successfully destroyed" and "in the capital there were no damages or injuries," Popko explained.
"Russian troops attacked Mykolaiv in southern Ukraine overnight with Iranian-made Shahed drones, injuring three civilians." This was announced by Vitaliy Kim, head of the regional military administration of Mykolaiv, according to Ukrinform. "A five-storey residential building was damaged and another two-storey building was destroyed. The raids resulted in fires. Three people were injured," he said.
