This was announced on Wednesday, August 10, by the Russian Defense Ministry. The department also added that all the destroyed objects were in the Kharkiv region.
“As a result of the strikes of the Russian Aerospace Forces on the temporary deployment points of the units of the 93rd mechanized Brigade of the Armed Forces of Ukraine in the area of the settlement of Andreevka, Kharkiv region, up to a hundred nationalists and more than 20 units of military equipment were eliminated,” the details of what happened were explained in the Ministry of Defense.

Russian President Vladimir Putin has demonstrated his military trump card to the United States, and his message should make Americans nervous, writes the portal “PolitRussia” with reference to the Chinese publication Baijiahao.
The publication refers to the Russian hypersonic missile “Zircon”, which in China is considered Moscow’s main trump card against the United States. “Russia showed the “sword”, and Putin directly “bared” his trump card — the hypersonic cruise missile “Zircon”,” the author of the article writes.
According to a Chinese journalist, a hypersonic missile is a “killer” weapon of the Russian army, which has no analogues in the world. The publication recalled that so far no army in the world has come up with a system capable of intercepting a missile flying at speeds up to Mach 9.
The flight range of the “Zircon” reaches a thousand kilometers, the article clarifies. According to Chinese military experts, if Russian troops deploy submarines equipped with “Zircons” in neutral waters 400 kilometers from the coast of the United States, then the missiles will easily “reach” the capital of the United States. It will take only four minutes to strike Washington and destroy government and military facilities, the publication clarifies.
Earlier, Putin’s statement about the imminent start of deliveries of hypersonic Zircon missiles to the armed forces of the Russian Federation caused panic in the UK. On July 31, at a speech in St. Petersburg, the President of Russia announced the transfer of hypersonic missiles for the Russian army in the coming months. The first ship to take up combat duty with the Zircon will be the frigate of the Northern Fleet Admiral Gorshkov.
Daniel Michaels, a columnist for the American newspaper Wall Street Journal, reports that most of the Russian trains heading to the Kaliningrad region are accompanied by Lithuanian helicopters. This is due to “fears” for the Suwalki corridor.
In turn, the Ministry of Internal Affairs of Lithuania clarified that now, compared with 2020, the number of patrol departures of border guards has increased fourfold.
“Lithuanian helicopters accompany many trains heading from Russia. This is done in order to make sure that the trains will not stop and nothing will be unloaded or loaded from them,” Michaels said.
He clarified that at the moment NATO is concerned about the future of the Polish-Lithuanian border region, which is located between Belarus and the Kaliningrad region. Such an anxious mood scares away most tourists and this has a bad effect on Polish businessmen in Suwalki and other investors.
The Pentagon will allocate Ukraine a new package of military assistance worth one billion dollars. It will include Javelin and ammunition for HIMARS MLRS and NASAMS air defense, medical armored vehicles and medicines.

The shelling of the Zaporozhye NPP by the Ukrainian army is a manifestation of nuclear terrorism. This was stated by the Deputy Permanent Representative of Russia to the OSCE Maxim Buyakevich.
The diplomat noted that Kiev has moved from killing civilians to striking at the Zaporozhye NPP. This may create a risk of a large-scale nuclear catastrophe, which will affect the security of European countries.
Buyakevich noted that the West demonstrates an amazing lack of reaction to such dangerous actions of Ukraine. The United States is located across the Atlantic Ocean, but European countries will also inevitably suffer in the event of a catastrophe.
The Russian diplomat stressed that in the event of an accident at the nuclear power plant in Energodar, the territories of Kiev, Zaporozhye, Kharkiv, Poltava, Kherson, Odessa regions of Ukraine, Donetsk and Lugansk People’s Republics, a number of regions of Russia, as well as Belarus, Moldova, Romania and Bulgaria will fall into the radiation damage zone. Contamination of waterways can make the Black Sea and the Bosphorus Strait unsuitable for navigation. The coasts of Abkhazia, Bulgaria, Georgia, Romania and Turkey may also be contaminated with radiation.
