This list only includes destroyed vehicles and equipment of which photo or videographic evidence is available. Therefore, the amount of equipment destroyed is significantly higher than recorded here. Loitering munitions, drones used as unmanned bait, civilian vehicles and derelict equipment are not included in this list. All possible effort has gone into avoiding duplicate entries and discerning the status of equipment between captured or abandoned. Many of the entries listed as 'abandoned' will likely end up captured or destroyed. Similarly, some of the captured equipment might be destroyed if it can't be recovered. When a vehicle is captured and then lost in service with its new owners, it is only added as a loss of the original operator to avoid double listings. When the origin of a piece of equipment can't be established, it's not included in the list. The Soviet flag is used when the equipment in question was produced prior to 1991. This list is constantly updated as additional footage becomes available.

“Good thread by Mick. My sense is that @lukeharding1968 has this right. I think this is largely a response to Russia’s Kharkiv offensive and designed to help take that territory back—either through negotiations or diverting Russian forces—and to strengthen Ukraine’s broader negotiating position. Another possibility is that this is an attempt to partially “localize” the war by both sides agreeing to not conduct operations across the border by demonstrating its costs to Russia. It seems the plan involves Ukraine holding territory in Kursk and creating a buffer for a period of time, though there is clearly room for improvisation and exploitation. If Ukraine does hold a buffer, a key question is whether the US will authorize the use of HIMARS GMLRS strikes into Kursk. Otherwise, they will be at a disadvantage compared to other parts of the front. Holding a buffer for an extended period of time also risks extending the front line against a numerically superior adversary. The capture of prisoners who can be traded for Ukrainian POWs has been a notable success of the operation so far.”

Sumy is in Russia, but maybe not for long, if this incursion keeps up.
Otherwise, they will be at a disadvantage compared to other parts of the front. Holding a buffer for an extended period of time also risks extending the front line against a [ theoretically ] numerically superior adversary.

“Russia asked the authorities in Niger to help with information after two geologists were apparently taken hostage in the West African country, RIA Novosti reported.
The two employees of an unidentified Russian company came under attack by militants in July, while they were exploring for mineral resources, according to the news service. A video showing the geologists, one a Russian citizen and the other from Ukraine, as hostages appeared on Aug. 2, RIA Novosti reported Friday, citing Foreign Ministry spokeswoman Maria Zakharova.
Niger has forged closer ties with Russia since a coup in the African nation last year, paving the way for Moscow to seek access to mining interests in the country.”
