Main events in the 23rd week of Russia's war in Ukraine


 Russian forces target Siversk and Bakhmut in Ukraine's eastern Donetsk province. Russian attempts to attack Verkhnokamyanske, east of Siversk, have been reported by the Ukrainian military staff as fruitless. Moreover, according to the general staff, Ukrainian forces thwarted Russian attempts to approach Bakhmut in Soledar, Semihirya, and Berestove. The Derhachi city council reports intense combat in several communities to the north of Kharkiv, the second-largest city in Ukraine. 
HIMARS rocket artillery used by Ukrainian forces causes damage to the Antonivka vehicle and rail bridges, making them useless for heavy military transit. This aids in cutting off Russian positions in advance in Kherson, in southern Ukraine. Russian soldiers also make minor offensive attempts in the south but retreat from Davydiv Brid and Bilohirka.

According to the general staff, Russian forces are moving from Luhansk and Kharkiv to Kherson in the south. Attackers are repelled by Ukrainian soldiers in Kherson's Brukivka-Bikohirka. Russian soldiers reportedly launched a barrage of S-300, Hurricane, Grad, and Kalibr missiles overnight at mainly civilian sites, according to Ukraine's southern command. The US Senate adopts a non-binding resolution requesting that Secretary of State Antony Blinken designate Russia as a "state sponsor of terrorism," along with Iran, North Korea, and Cuba.



On the front line of the Donetsk conflict, Ukrainian fighters thwart a Russian military reconnaissance mission outside of Verkhnokamyansk. Serhiy Haidai, the governor of Luhansk, claims that Ukrainian soldiers successfully fended off six Russian assaults in the region, which Russia proclaimed to have taken on July 3. The HIMARS rocket artillery, according to Haidai, has significantly weakened the Russian offensive, which has "lost pace." According to the general command of Ukraine, defenders also suffered significant casualties from Russian forces' unsuccessful attempts to storm Soledar, Vershyn, and Semihirya, all of which are located east of Bakhmut. Ukraine withstood attacks on Avdiivka and other Donetsk communities further south.
According to the southern command of Ukraine, its troops destroyed two Russian ammunition stores in the regions of Berislav and Kherson. Overnight, rocket artillery fire from Russian soldiers south of the Dnieper river is directed against Nikopol. The Zaporizhzhia nuclear power facility, where Russian military are using radioactive installations as cover, is most likely where the fire originated. In Olenivka, Donetsk, a bombing of their holding center results in the deaths of fifty Ukrainian prisoners of war. As per Russia, Ukraine allegedly targeted its own men. According to Ukraine, Russia destroyed its own jail camp "to conceal war crimes." According to Vadym Skibitsky, the deputy chief of Ukraine's military intelligence, Russia's efforts to build new army corps and battalions are being hampered by a shortage of qualified and experienced officers.
At least one civilian was killed and five others were hurt when suspected Russian Iskander rockets struck the town of Kramatorsk in the Donetsk region.



According to the military staff of Ukraine, many ground assaults along the eastern front as well as a three-pronged attack on Semihirya in eastern Donetsk failed. They claim there has been "systematic shelling" all along the front. The air force of Ukraine claims to have killed numerous people while destroying two Russian command centers and munitions storage facilities. In order to show that local resistance is still present deep inside Russian-controlled territory, Haidai claims that Ukrainian saboteurs destroyed a switching control box at Svatove on a railway line used by Russian soldiers to transport weapons.
When Latvia declines to pay for the gas in roubles to a Russian bank as directed by President Vladimir Putin, Russia's energy giant Gazprom cuts off supplies of natural gas to Latvia. It was seen that 16 ships were filled with grain and prepared to leave the port of Odesa.



Ukrainian forces on the eastern front deny Russian attempts to "better their tactical position" in the Bakhmut region while being covered by the air. Twelve Russian missiles hail down on Mykolaiv. Oleksiy Vadatursky, a grain mogul from Ukraine who was instrumental in brokering the resume of grain shipments, is killed by one of them. Russian soldiers reportedly allegedly launched 50 Grad missiles and two cruise missiles at Nikopol, according to Ukraine's southern command.
On Russia's Navy Day, a drone believed to be from Ukraine crashes into the Black Sea fleet's command center in Sevastopol, injuring five people. Putin formally adopts a new naval policy designating the US as Russia's main foe. He states that Russia's brand-new Zircon ship-launched missile, which travels at nine times the speed of sound, will be deployed in a matter of months. Russia plans to bolster the Black Sea navy and its facilities in Crimea as part of the new policy.



According to the general staff of Ukraine, their soldiers fend off Russian assaults on the eastern Donetsk towns of Avdiivka and Pisky. Attack on Bakhmut is launched by Russian forces. For the first time in days, there are no attacks on Siversk or Sloviansk, probably as a result of the relocation of soldiers to the southern front. Oleksandr Syrskyi, the commander of Ukraine's ground forces, informs troops in the east that they have suffered such losses from Russia's 17th battalion tactical group that it has been forced to return to Russia for replenishment and recovery.
Oleksyi Reznikov, the defense minister of Ukraine, reports the arrival of four HIMARS units, raising the country's total to 16. On July 20, the US had said it would ship the systems. Additionally, according to Reznikov, German units of the MARS II MLRS system have arrived. This is an M270 rocket artillery system that is equivalent to two HIMARS units in Europe. According to Ukrainian authorities, Russian forces shelled Mykolaiv city overnight, damaging dozens of homes, businesses, and public structures as well as killing and injuring undisclosed numbers of people. Overnight, Russian military also shelled Dnipropetrovsk's residential neighborhoods, damaging eight homes and wounded two individuals.
On the southern front, Ukrainian marines launch a counterattack and seize nine Russian soldiers, a lawyer, and an officer. Following a deal on July 22 to relieve a Russian blockade, Oleksandr Kubrakov, Ukraine's minister of infrastructure, says the first ship carrying Ukrainian grain is about to depart port. From Odesa to Tripoli in Lebanon, the Razoni, flying the flag of Sierra Leone, will transport 26,000 tonnes of Ukrainian grain.



According to Ukrainian military intelligence, Russia covered up losses following a Ukrainian attack on the Krasnii Luch hotel in the captured Luhansk town of Khrustalnyi, where Russian forces were housed. Iryna Vereshchuk, the deputy prime minister of Ukraine, reports that the administration has started requiring citizens in Donetsk to evacuate. According to Vitaly Kim, the chairman of the state administration in Mykolaiv, Russian soldiers twice overnight shelled the city with Smerch and S-300 anti-air rockets.

 Vadym Skibitskyi, claims that Russia has moved a battalion tactical group of paratroopers to the Crimea with the intention of using them in Kherson and Zaporizhia. He claims that Ukrainian partisan groups in Crimea are growing more active in anticipation of a transfer of power back to Ukraine. Overnight, Russian soldiers shelled the Dnipropetrovsk region in central Ukraine, inflicting casualties as well as damage to homes, automobiles, and a power line.
Denys Sharapov, the chairman of the Ukrainian Defense Procurement Agency, stated in an interview with Livy Bereg that the organization is striving to develop open payment and procurement processes to hasten the supply of weapons to Ukraine. The agency was established in early July specifically for this purpose, indicating that problems with openness may have hindered Ukraine's capacity to utilize the significant financial and military aid from the US and the EU. According to Sharapov, "I am establishing an organization that will operate in accordance with NATO standards and render any "tricky" methods impossible." The US unveils a new $550 million military aid package that includes HIMARS rockets and 75,000 155mm ammunition.
