Occupiers transfer units from the east.
Russian occupiers are trying to strengthen their position in the occupied areas in the south of Ukraine, in the Kherson and Zaporizka regions, President of Ukraine Volodymyr Zelenskyi said.
The occupiers transfer units to the south, removing them from the eastern districts. However, the Ukrainian military and intelligence officers are ready to fight back, the president assured during the evening address.
Zelensky recalled that on the night of July 31, Mykolaiv was subjected to one of the heaviest shelling since the beginning of the full-scale war . The president of the agrarian company “Nibulon” Oleksiy Vadaturskyi and his wife Raisa died.
“Today I want to thank every citizen of Mykolaiv for their indomitability, for protecting the city and the region. I also thank Nikopol, Kharkiv, Kryvyi and the entire Dnipropetrovsk region, the strong people of Zaporozhye and the region, all Ukrainians of the Kherson region, everyone who defends the approaches to Odessa and the region. Thank you for your courage,” he noted.
Strategically, Russia has no chance of winning this war, the president emphasized. But he called on Ukrainians to maintain unity and hold their own in all regions and on all fronts, from military to diplomatic.

The death of the Vadatursky couple is not an accident, but a well-thought-out and organized deliberate murder, says the advisor to the head of the OPU Mykhailo Podolyak. Vadaturskyi was involved in the process of unblocking the export of Ukrainian grain, the head of the Mykolaiv Regional Council Hanna Zamazeyeva reported. So he could be an undesirable figure for the Russian Federation.
