Crimea destroyed 16 Ukrainian drones

Even a day earlier, Ukraine tried to retaliate against Russia. Actually, Ukraine carried out several drone attacks, but the Russian defense system shot down 16 Ukrainian drones over Crimea. This was confirmed by the Russian Defense Ministry.

Focus changed after failure on Kiev

Actually, at the beginning of the war, Russia’s focus was on Kiev, but now Ukraine has strengthened its hold there, after which the Russian army has focused on the east. They have a little less than 20 percent of Ukrainian territory. Let us tell you that the Ukrainian Army started counter-offensive in June and has achieved slight gains in the east and south.
