More Ukrainian strikes on Kakhovskyi Bridge, "DPR" wants to "try" foreigners: last night's highlights

The Ukrainian military renders the bridge near occupied Kakhovska HPP unfit for use, the self-proclaimed "DPR" is going to "try" 5 captured foreigners, and secret documents were found in Donald Trump's house. Here is what you may have missed from the previous night.

Successes of the Armed Forces in the south

The Ukrainian military once again struck the Kakhovska HPP bridge, which is one of the crossings over the Dnipro in Kherson Oblast. According to the army, it will no longer be possible to use it for its intended purpose.

Operational Command "South" reported that Ukrainian aircraft carried out five strikes on strongholds and clusters of weapons and equipment of the Russians in the Bashtanka, Beryslav, and Kherson districts.

Confirmed losses of the occupiers per day amount to 46 soldiers, and 15 units of armored, engineering and automotive equipment. The total losses are being established.

The so-called trial in the "DPR"

The "Supreme Court of the DPR" is going to hold an "open trial" on the charges of Swedish citizen Matthias Gustavsson, Croatian citizen Vjekoslav Prebeg, as well as British citizens John Harding, Andrew Hill, and Dylan Healy.

The Russian mass media indicate that these foreigners fought on the side of Ukraine. Militants of the Russian proxy "republic" threaten to punish foreigners potentially even with death penalty "if their guilt is proven."

US Secretary of State Antony Blinken said that the US is concerned about accusations against foreigners. "Russia and its proxies have an obligation to respect international humanitarian law, including the rights and protections afforded to prisoners of war," he wrote on Twitter.

Secret documents were found in Trump's possession

11 packages with secret documents, including those marked "top secret", were found in the house of the 45th president of the United States, Donald Trump. According to media reports, law enforcement officers are investigating the case of seizing or destroying records, obstruction of justice, and violation of the Espionage Act. It is worth noting that a refusal to return national security documents upon request, in addition to espionage itself, can be deemed a violation of this law. Imprisonment or a fine may be applied.
