The ISW told where new Russian battalions are stationed with Volunteers
The recent attacks of Ukraine on Russian military and transport infrastructure in the Crimea and Kherson region seem to reduce Russia's confidence in the security of its rear. According to the Institute, "Ukrainian blows cause resonance in the Russian information space, despite the fact that these reports were likely to be swollen. " On August 18, ISW informed that Russian sources mainly reported and distributed false or exaggerated messages that indicate panic in the Russian Federation.
The Russian authorities have intensified security measures in the Crimea, which is a sign that the Russian authorities and the civil population were increasingly concerned about the threat of Ukrainian attacks on the rear areas that were previously considered safe.
The situation at the Zaporizhzhya Nuclear Power Plant (ZPE) has changed little on August 19, despite the statement of the Ministry of Defense of Russia of August 18 that Ukrainian troops would allegedly provokes provocations on August 19. Recall that recently in the temporarily occupied Crimea is restless. On August 18, Roszma reported explosions in the occupied Kerch. The occupying authorities assure that the city has worked in the city.
According to the collaborators, the "Ukrainian drone" was beaten over the Crimean bridge. Earlier, the adviser to the Presidential Office of Ukraine Mikhail Podolyak expressed the opinion that the guerrillas and the Ukrainian army would not allow the Russian invaders to live quietly on the occupied peninsula. In turn, the Russian Federation calls explosions in Crimea terrorist attacks to distract from its war crimes.
