news of the day
Journalist Marina Ovsiannikova, famous for having interrupted the newspaper of a Russian state channel with a poster against the offensive in Ukraine, was sentenced on Thursday to a fine for having again denounced the conflict.
A Moscow court fined him 50,000 rubles (about 800 euros) for "discrediting" the Russian armed forces, an offense introduced in early March to stifle criticism.
He was accused of having said that the operation in Ukraine was a “crime” when speaking to journalists on July 13, during a hearing concerning an imprisoned opponent, Ilia Yachine.
Four days later, the 44-year-old journalist was briefly arrested in the Moscow region.

The number of the day
84%.
This is the proportion of Ukrainians who are against any form of territorial concession to Russia.
“This is an important sign that Ukrainians are determined to continue fighting for their sovereignty,” comments the Hybrid War analysis group, which initiated the poll.
The trend of the day
In the occupied region of Kherson, in the south of the country, where Ukrainian forces are carrying out a counter-offensive, three villages have been retaken from the Russians in the past two weeks.
According to Oleksii Hromov, Deputy Chief Executive, these are the villages of Ivanivka, Lozove and Andriivka.
The Ukrainian counter-offensive “is gaining momentum”, estimates the British Ministry of Defense.
“Ukraine has used its new long-range artillery to damage at least three of the bridges over the Dnipro River that Russia relies on to supply areas under its control,” notes London, which estimates that Russian troops stationed in the west of the Dnipro river "are very vulnerable".
In Kherson, under Russian occupation, the attacks continue and the city is “virtually cut off from the other occupied territories”.
"Its loss would seriously undermine Russia's attempts to portray the occupation as a success," London said.
