Ukrainian troops shelled Russian positions across the front, Volodymyr Zelensky said, as a presidential aide claimed Moscow’s defenses in the Kherson region had collapsed hours after Kyiv launched its counterattack. “Active military engagement is now happening along the entire front line: in the south, in the Kharkiv region, in Donbas,” Mr Zelensky said last night, as he warned Russian troops to leave “if they want to survive”. Britain’s Ministry of Defense (MoD) said Ukrainian forces had pushed back the front line in places, but did not specify where. Oleksiy Arestovych, a senior adviser to Ukraine’s president, said Russian defenses in the Kherson theater had been “broken in a matter of hours”. The Ukrainian military’s southern operational command said they killed 117 Russian soldiers and destroyed more than 30 units of military equipment, including tanks and a howitzer. The battlefield claims could not be verified by the Independent. Shortly after Ukraine launched its counteroffensive, the Kremlin claimed that all of its war aims “will be achieved.”

Russia completely shuts down Germany’s largest natural gas pipeline
Russia’s Gazprom has blocked the Nord Stream 1 pipeline to Germany. The state-owned energy giant said the largest pipeline supplying Germany would be out of service for 72 hours needed for maintenance. Gazprom was operating the pipeline at only 20 percent capacity before Wednesday’s complete shutdown. Germany said there were no technical problems. Europe faces gas shortages this winter without Russian supplies. Governments fear Russia could extend the shutdown in retaliation for sanctions and have accused Vladimir Putin of using energy supplies as a weapon. Russia has denied this and blames sanctions for reducing exports. Liam James31 August 2022 08:11 1661928390
Ukraine is firing on the entire Russian front, says Zelensky
Ukrainian troops have attacked Russian positions across the front, Volodymyr Zelensky said, warning Moscow’s forces to leave or die. “Active military engagement is now happening on the entire front line: in the south, in the Kharkiv region, in the Donbass,” the Ukrainian president said in his nightly speech on Tuesday. He added: “If they want to survive, it’s time for the Russian army to run away. Go home.” An aide to Mr Zelensky said Russian defenses in Kherson, a key target of Ukraine’s counteroffensive, fell within hours – although it was not clear which defenses he was referring to. Britain’s Ministry of Defense said Ukrainian forces had pushed back the front line in places, but did not specify where. Liam James31 August 2022 07:46 1661924655
Ukraine wants the EU to ban Russian tourists
Ukrainian Foreign Minister Dmytro Kuleba urged the European Union to ban Russian tourists on the grounds that the majority of the Kremlin’s population supported Russia’s “genocidal war of aggression” against Ukraine. “The time for half-measures is gone. Only a tough and consistent policy can produce results,” Mr Kuleba said before EU foreign ministers met on Wednesday in Prague for a second day of talks. “The visa ban for Russian tourists and some other categories will be the appropriate response to Russia’s aggressive genocidal war in the heart of Europe which is supported by the vast majority of Russian citizens,” the top Ukrainian official said. He also proposed a special program for Russian soldiers who no longer want to fight in Ukraine. “(The message): save yourself and leave. Lay down your weapons, surrender to Ukrainian forces and take the chance to start a new life,” he said. Mr Kuleba added: “I am sure that this offer is worth making, because even if one Russian soldier lays down his arms and decides to leave, it means Ukrainian lives are saved and closer peace.” Arpan Rai31 August 2022 06:44 1661924004
Russia will raise more battalions of volunteers for the war after Ukraine’s attack in the south
Russian leader Vladimir Putin is likely to send more battalions of volunteers to the war with Ukraine, but the troops are believed to have limited training, Britain’s Ministry of Defense said today. “According to its doctrine, Russia will probably now try to cover the gaps in its line using prearranged mobile reserve units. These will probably include some of them from the Eastern Group of Forces,” the British Foreign Office said, sharing its latest intelligence update. He added that Moscow continues to “accelerate efforts to create new aid” for Ukraine. “Volunteer battalions of the new 3rd Army Corps had departed from their base near Moscow by August 24, most likely to be further deployed in Ukraine,” the ministry said. However, the operational effectiveness of these units is not known. The 3rd Army Corps is likely to be understaffed and those troops have had limited training, the ministry claimed. This comes after Ukrainian armored forces continued to attack Russia’s southern group of forces on multiple axes in the south of the country since Monday. “Ukrainian formations have pushed back the front line in some places, taking advantage of relatively weak Russian defenses,” the British Ministry of Defense said.

The situation at the Zaporizhzhia nuclear power plant “extremely threatening” – Zelensky
Volodymyr Zelensky warned that the situation at Europe’s largest nuclear power plant, Zaporizhzhia, remained extremely threatening and said he hoped the mission of the world’s nuclear watchdog, the International Atomic Energy Agency, would begin soon. “Representatives of the IAEA have already arrived in our country and are going to visit the Zaporizhzhia nuclear power plant. It’s an important mission and we’re doing everything we can to keep it safe and functioning at full capacity,” Mr. Zelenskiy said yesterday. He added that the situation at the Enerhodar nuclear power plant in Ukraine, where the plant is located, and in the surrounding areas, remains extremely threatening. “The occupiers are not leaving the factory, they are continuing the shelling and they are not removing their arms and ammunition from the NPP territory. They bully our factory staff. The risk of radiological destruction due to Russian actions is not diminishing for an hour,” Mr. Zelensky said. Arpan Rai31 August 2022 06:01 1661921952
Ukraine-Russia Maps: Where the invasion takes place
Russia is now six months into its long-feared all-out invasion of Ukraine, which began on February 24 when Vladimir Putin announced his “special military operation” in a televised address to his citizens. Ukrainian cities have been under attack ever since, with locals putting up a courageous street-level resistance to ensure the conquest is far from the formality that Mr Putin and the Russian military seem to have assumed it would be. Here are two maps that explain the frozen situation in Ukraine as the conflict begins. The first shows its borders within continental Europe (Moldova, Romania, Hungary, Slovakia and Poland are to the southwest and west while Belarus is to the north) and its major cities. The second describes the incursions carried out by Russian troops, tanks, armored vehicles and artillery units, which remain concentrated in the east and south.

Volodymyr Zelensky warned that the situation at Europe’s largest nuclear power plant, Zaporizhzhia, remained extremely threatening and said he hoped the mission of the world’s nuclear watchdog, the International Atomic Energy Agency, would begin soon. “Representatives of the IAEA have already arrived in our country and are going to visit the Zaporizhzhia nuclear power plant. It’s an important mission and we’re doing everything we can to keep it safe and functioning at full capacity,” Mr. Zelenskiy said yesterday. He added that the situation at the Enerhodar nuclear power plant in Ukraine, where the plant is located, and in the surrounding areas, remains extremely threatening. “The occupiers are not leaving the factory, they are continuing the shelling and they are not removing their arms and ammunition from the NPP territory. They bully our factory staff. The risk of radiological destruction due to Russian actions is not diminishing for an hour,” Mr. Zelensky said. Arpan Rai31 August 2022 06:01 1661921952

The second describes the incursions carried out by Russian troops, tanks, armored vehicles and artillery units, which remain concentrated in the east and south.
