••Economic Situation:
Zelinsky said, verbatim, that, “Ukrainian economy is in coma.”
The aid in the amount of 8 billion Euros has been blocked; it’s more like a like loan from the European Union to Ukraine that was promised to Ukraine. It should have arrived sometime in July but has been blocked by Germany. So Zelinsky was trying to address that situation.
That’s extremely painful for for Ukrainian government. Nevertheless, we have to say the Ukrainian government is destroying Ukrainian economy at a rate which is much, much, much worse than the Russian invasion.
Although they they will will do some recap on everything that’s being done by this essentially incompetent government that’s running this country.
It’s running it economically into the total disaster and ground nevertheless.
••Military Situation:
terms of HIMARS attacks.
There was only one attack aimed at Antonievsky Bridge during this time.
We haven’t heard of any other attacks targeting any other bridges or trying to attack ferry or anything else.
There was attack on the 3rd and unfortunately there’s no any kind of evidence or information how successful; it was we assume it was successful because HIMARS rockets are super precise.
Russian troops don’t have effective defense against those attacks so they probably hit Antonisky Bridge again.
A reminder main bridge in Kherson that connects Kherson bridgehead to the remainder of the Kherson region so that’s the key one that’s not the only one is just a reminder there is also a road slash bridge over the dam in Nova Kakhovka.
Another major kind of connection point and then there’s also railroad bridge that’s close about 4-6 km away from Antonioski Bridge; it didn’t get that as much damage, and may have been repaired by now
The fight against Russia’s ability to supply troops on the Kherson bridgehead is continuing. Its lacks lacks determination and focus, in our opinion, because we see this kind of like sporadic attacks. There is clearly not enough focus nevertheless it’s been done somehow.

Summary:
Russian troops in process of gaining full control of Pisky near Donetsk international airport, fighting on outskirts of Bahmut.
New attack direction by Russian troops from Balakliya towards south.
Key areas:
- Izyum bridgehead:
Attack by Russian troops from Balakliya towards south
- North Donbass area:
Russian troops on outskirts of Bahmut, initiating fighting in the town
- Donetsk West:
Ukrainian troops still control western and north-western outskirts of Pisky
- Kherson bridgehead: no changes.
1. Kharkiv: No changes.
2. Izyum bridgehead.
New direction of Russian attack from Balakliya towards south, unclear if it is a large scale attack (new idea) or just distraction.
••Needs to be watched: if the UA troops cannot hold, then the entire UA defensive position on the Izyum Bridgehead could collapse.
3. North Donbass:
Russia troops squeezed Ukrainian troops towards Bahmut-Lysychansk road, initiated fighting in Bahmut.
••Northern section quiet
••Southern section active. Most fighting around Bahmut. Huge pressure here, very dangerous.
4. West of Donetsk:
Ukrainian troops managed to hold in western and north-western part of Pisky, thanks to reinforcements that were sent there on the 2nd of August. Nevertheless, they are on borrowed time there.
••Orcs control most of Pisky. UA got reserves at last moment to stabilize situation. They will be eaten up by Russian artillery. The UA will have to fall back again past Adivka.
••UA defense, over all, seriously cracking. It is clear that the UA is less able to stand its ground than it used to be, even with more artillery. Part of the problem is the UA is unable to use their new Western tools effectively and part is the quality of the Ukrainian Command - this situation is a manifestation of their incompetence.
5. Vugledar: No changes.
6. Velyka Novosilka - Gulyapole stretch of frontline. No changes.
7. Kherson bridgehead: No changes.
••UA not creating enough problems for Russians.
Any military or ex-military or military observers:
This is the kind of battlefield update that describes the situation on the ground. The analyst has been quite accurate in predicting which course of action each side may be choosing as the battle progresses. He uses both Western and Russian sources to update the map
