- Deputy Minister of Defense of Ukraine Gavrilov:

Ukraine can drive all this Black Sea Fleet closer to Tuapse, Novorossiysk and prevent them from moving in the Crimean zone.

These possibilities are not limited to systems like "Neptune"; — there are others.

- WaPo:

Ukraine has become the most mined country in the world.

The contaminated territory of Ukraine is so large that, according to some experts, humanitarian demining, carried out by about 500 demining teams in the current operation, will take 757 years.

The Cathedral of the Transfiguration of the Savior in Odessa also suffered, the building received significant damage.

- WaPo:

At present, the US is "firmly committed not to send long-range missiles to Ukraine," referring to ATACMS missiles.

The Pentagon is confident that Kiev has other, more pressing needs than ATACMS, and fears that sending enough ATACMS to Ukraine to make a difference on the battlefield would seriously undermine US readiness for other possible conflicts.

- Egor Cherniev, People's Deputy of Ukraine:

Ukraine has developed its own medium-range air defense systems.

This is certainly not an analogue of the Patriot, SAMP-T or IRIS-T.

Closer to HAWK or medium range systems. They are of Ukrainian production and Ukrainian design.

The building is the largest Orthodox church in Odessa and was consecrated in 1809. It was demolished by the Soviet Union in 1939 and then rebuilt in 2003.

The UN cultural agency, UNESCO, has repeatedly called on Russia to stop attacks on Odessa.

Earlier this year, the historic center of the city was listed by the organization as a World Heritage in Danger, despite opposition from Russia.

The Wagnerites began to strain us: “I want to go to the West. Let's."

I say, why do you need to go to the West?

The transfer of Ukrainian lands to Poland is unacceptable, if Western Ukraine asks for help, we will provide it.
