UAF – Ukrainian Forces
RF – Russian Forces
MLRS – Multiple Launch Rocket Systems
Summary of the Events
RF forces have not made any significant ground assaults in several days now claiming they are concerned about the high level of civilian casualties. But that has not stopped them from dropping bombs on apartment buildings and private homes all throughout Ukraine, even killing 25 people at the train station in Chaplyne. RF have virtually been stopped in the Donbas with UAF taking back some ground already.
Belarus
Belarusian Dictator Alexander Lukashenko announced that Belarusian SU-24 aircraft are being retrofitted to carry Russian nuclear bombs.
Battle for the Donbas
UAF fired 10 MLRS rockets at a Russian military base in occupied Kadiivka in the Luhansk region. Around 200 Russian paratroopers were killed in the attack.
The Russian-appointed puppet leader of Berdyansk was killed in an attack on his car.
Target Bakhmut – Bakhmut remains one of the two main targets of RF attacks (the other is Avdiivka on the Donetsk line). Bakhmut was shelled in the early morning along with six other surrounding communities. RF attempted assaults on Bakhmut, Soledar, and Kodema, but all were unsuccessful. Fighting continues in Soledar and Bakhmutske.
Target Avdiivka – RF fired artillery and tank weapons at UAF positions near eight cities in their way of taking Avdiivka. UAF were able to push RF from the northern portions of Pisky placing the city back into conflict.
Target Siversk – Siversk came under intense shelling in the early morning hours with four private homes destroyed. There were no reported casualties.
Target Slovyansk – RF mostly was on the defensive along their line north of Slovyansk holding back any advancements of UAF. RF launched an unsuccessful attack on Stariy Karavan, which is interesting as it was thought RF were in control of that town. UAF must have retaken it which means UAF forces are again on the Eastern banks of the Siversky Donets River.
Target Kramatorsk – RF fired on UAF forces defending six communities around Kramatorsk.
Southern Donetsk Line – RF fired artillery and tank weapons on UAF around seven cities.
Battle for Kherson (includes Mykolaiv)
UAF destroyed the communications center of the Russian 98th Guards Airborne Division in Dudchany on Thursday evening and a weapons depot in Novovoskrenenske.

Other News
The International Atomic Energy Agency is requesting to send a team of safety and security personnel to the Zaporizhia Nuclear Power Plant no later than September 5. The security team will investigate whether the attacks on the ZNPP grounds were conducted by UAF or RF. The safety team will ensure all systems are working properly. Although Russia has agreed to the inspection, it is likely they will do everything in their power to prevent it from happening.
Russia has set up ten chemical laboratories in Melitopol to save their military leadership from radiation poisoning in the event of an accident at the Zaporizhia Nuclear Power Plant. This is further proof that Russia is ready to commit an act of nuclear terrorism.
