OK, good. Near a crucial city, Ukrainian soldiers fire on Russians using weapons they have taken. As battle raged on in a region that Moscow is attempting to seize, Ukrainian forces using captured weaponry shot at Russian targets close to the important eastern city of Baku on Friday. In the Donetsk region, Russian soldiers have repeatedly attacked Buckmouth and adjacent Abdivica but have been repulsed with what Kiev claims are significant losses. The Ukrainian crews in control of a 2S23 Nona svk self-propelled mortar and a captured Russian T-80 tank fired at targets outside of Baku, as seen by US Gege journalists. According to the military of Ukraine, both were taken in March and required months to be rebuilt. The eight-wheel Nona under Muryak's command,possesses a 120-millimeter mortar that can fire 10 rounds per minute at most. Since capturing the industrial towns of Lischansk and severe Dunetsk in June and July, Buckmouth has been a key objective for the Russian military in its methodical progress across the Donetsk area. The Wagner Group, a private military firm, is likely still substantially involved in the combat in Bakmud, according to the British defense minister. After Russia annexed Crimea and started supporting pro-Russian separatists, Wagner, which employs veterans of the Russian armed forces, was established in 2014. At the same time, the US privately encourages Ukraine to show signs of being open to negotiations with Russia. According to The Washington Post, the State Department claimed that Moscow was intensifying the conflict and had no sincere desire to hold peace negotiations. According to Emergency Services, foreign diplomats admitted that regions of Europe, Africa, and Latin America, where the war's effects on food and fuel costs are most severe, were concerned about Ukrainian President Vladimir Zalinski's ban on negotiations with Russian President Vladimir Putin. Reuters was unable to quickly confirm an allegation made by Russian news outlets that Ukrainian forces shelled the enormous, Russian-held Nova Kakovka dam on Sunday because there was no supporting information. According to a spokesperson of the Emergency Services, the dam that blocks the Danipra river upstream of the southern city of Garrison, where Ukrainian forces have been advancing, has acquired strategic importance. Putin on Friday explicitly supported the removal of people from some areas of the Carson region; Although Moscow has been ferrying residents out of a region under its control and kerosene on the Danipra river's west bank since last week, when Russia said the evacuation zone would also include a 15-kilometer or 10-mile buffer area on the east bank, this appeared to be the first time Putin has personally endorsed the evacuations. Kiev claims that the actions have included forcible deportations of civilians, which Russia disputes as a war crime. According to Putin's comments, Russia may be getting ready to withdraw its troops from the west bank of the Donbas, including Russian-held area. Since its invasion in February, Russia has only completely taken Carson City, the region's capital;One of the biggest blows of the war would be dealt to Russian forces if they lost it. According to a foreign diplomat on Sunday, the city has no electricity, the state-run Ria news agency in Russia stated. The causes of the outage are being looked into, per Ria, the Carson-Oblenergo Press Service.
