TL;DR: Ukrainian forces achieved significant victories, including winning the battle for Robotyne and conducting successful operations near Crimea. They also managed to steal a Russian helicopter loaded with equipment. Meanwhile, the head of the Russian Air Force was reportedly fired, and a plane carrying key figures of the Wagner Group, including Evgeniy Prigozhin, crashed under suspicious circumstances, possibly indicating an internal assassination.

Key Points:

  • Ukrainians won the battle for Robotyne, with the 47th Mechanized Brigade raising the Ukrainian flag in the village.
  • Ukrainian forces conducted operations near abandoned oil rigs between Odesa and Crimea, using them for reconnaissance and surveillance. They successfully hit a Russian Su-30 fighter jet that attempted to attack them.
  • Ukrainians conducted a successful strike on the Russian air defense system S-400 near Olenivka, possibly using anti-ship system Brimstone II.
  • Ukrainian Intelligence successfully stole a Russian helicopter near the border in the Kharkiv region, loaded with equipment for fighter jets Su-27 and Su-30.
  • The Head of the Russian Air Force, Sergey Surovikin, was reportedly fired by Putin and is said to be in deep trouble for supporting Wagner's coup.
  • A plane carrying key figures of the Wagner Group, including Evgeniy Prigozhin, crashed, with evidence suggesting it was shot down by Russian air defense. Wagner-affiliated sources claim it was a planned assassination.
