Ukraine war: Russian missile kills grain oligarchs - Mykolayiv under fire

+++ 3.45 p.m .:

One of Ukraine’s richest businessmen has reportedly been killed in a “massive” Russian shelling of the southern city of Mykolaiv.

74-year-old Oleksiy Vadatursky and his wife Raisa died when a rocket hit their house.

As reported by the British BBC, Vadatursky was the owner of Nibulon.

The group of companies is active in the export of grain.

Accordingly, he had also received the "Hero of Ukraine" award - this is the highest award given by the Ukrainian state.

The death is particularly explosive because an agreement was recently concluded between Russia and Ukraine to enable grain exports from the war-torn country.

Experts had repeatedly accused Putin of using hunger as a weapon of war.

Mykolaiv Mayor Oleksandr Senkevych said it was probably the city's heaviest Russian shelling to date, according to the BBC.

News about the Ukraine war: Russia blames Ukraine for drone attack

+++ 12.15 p.m .:

On Sunday morning there was a drone attack on the Russian Black Sea Fleet (see update from 07.45 a.m.).

Russia blames Ukraine for the attack.

"The liberation of occupied Ukrainian Crimea will be done in a different, much more effective way."

 The Russian Navy is to receive “Zircon” hypersonic cruise missiles in the coming months.

This was stated by Russian President Vladimir Putin in his speech on "Navy Day" in St. Petersburg, as reported by the

News about the Ukraine war: NATO mission starts on Monday

+++ 11.00 a.m .:

On Monday (August 1st) the NATO air police mission should start.

Part of it are Italian, Hungarian and German fighter planes patrolling over the Baltic States.

"At a time when European security has been fundamentally changed by Russia's war against Ukraine, NATO fighter jets are ready around the clock to protect Allied airspace," said NATO spokeswoman Oana Lungescu.

Germany is providing four Eurofighters for the mission.

+++ 10:00 a.m .:

In a situation report on the Ukraine war, the US think tank “Institute for the Study of War” analyzed that Russian troops are currently apparently concentrating on the cities of Bakhmut and Donetsk in the Donbass.

“Russian commanders are likely trying to use recent successes in the Novoluhanske area to pressure Bakhmut from the east.

Their efforts around the city of Donetsk are likely aimed at pushing Ukrainian forces out of the city's artillery range," it said.

In addition, it is possible that the Russian military is trying to gain as much ground as possible in the Donetsk region in order to underpin the upcoming sham referendum with a troop presence.

The information provided by the think tank cannot be independently verified.

The "Day of the Navy" celebrations are taking place this Sunday, primarily in St. Petersburg.

The achievements of the military are to be honored, similar to May 9, the "Day of Victory" over Nazi Germany.

+++ 07.00 a.m .:

In the attack on the camp with Ukrainian prisoners of war in Olenivka on Friday (July 29), apparently thermobaric weapons, also known as vacuum bombs, could have been used.

The news portal

For example, a crater caused by a suspected rocket impact is missing.

The Russian government subsequently claimed that a multiple rocket launcher of the "HIMARS" type was responsible.

The US had recently delivered these to Ukraine.

Ex-military man Thomas C. Theiner contradicted the claim from Moscow in a statement on Twitter.

“Had a HIMAR hit, the building would be in ruins.

However, the masonry is mostly still intact,” says Theimer.

None of the above information can be independently verified.

+++ 5.30 a.m .:

In the early hours of the morning, the Russian army also attacked Mykolaiv in southern Ukraine.

The mayor asked people to go to shelters.

First report from Sunday, July 31, 5:00 a.m.:

Donetsk – Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyj has called on the population to leave the city of Donetsk immediately.

He justified this with the massive rocket fire by the Russian army on the entire Donbass.

On Saturday evening (July 30), he said in a video address that it was no longer safe.

"In the Donbass there are hundreds of thousands of people, tens of thousands of children, many refuse to leave."

He urged the people of Donbass to make this decision.

"Believe me," he pleaded.

"The more people leave the Donetsk region, the fewer people the Russian army can kill." The government in Kyiv had previously ordered an official evacuation because the citizens had to get to safety in time before winter.

With gas lines destroyed by Russian missiles, heating in the Donbass is likely to become almost impossible.

Zelenskyy emphasized that everything is being organized for people to flee from the areas of the region still controlled by Ukraine.
