Well Ukraine reconquered the corridor north of Kiev and have held it.
Ukraine reconquered the area around, east and south of Kharkiv and have held it.
Ukraine reconquered the 'inside' bank of Kherson and have held it.
True, they are having a lot of trouble with the heavily mined perimeters that Russia built. Maybe they will find a way to work through it or maybe they won't.

A few days ago the Ukrainians crossed the Dniepr and landed a raiding party at Kozachi Laheri (north of Antonovsky bridge), routed the mobiks and destroyed a recon/relief party led by a Major. Like Oleshky, the town is near the only highway from Armiansk Crimea to Zaporozhye province and a good place to cut it. Russian bloggers write that the raiding party still holds the western part of the town.
Also a fake video was released claiming some of the Ukrainians were taken prisoner. Turned out to old video from somewhere else and the Ukrainians themselves released video of several prisoners from the Russian relief party.

According to her, as part of their maneuvers, they often imitate leaving certain settlements - then they return to them, but before that they fire at them, and local residents are convinced that they were the Defense Forces.
"We see another maneuver - this is the continuation of the use of tactical aviation, which they very often use in the Berislav direction, and send guided aerial bombs with it.

15:35 Kupyansky section of the front situation as of 15.00 August 10, 2023
Near Kupyansk, servicemen of the Russian Armed Forces group "West" are conducting a positional attack on the positions of Ukrainian formations north-west of the city.
The position of the Armed Forces has seriously deteriorated. The number of casualties as a result of systematic attacks by Russian troops is growing. And evacuation is virtually impossible due to constant artillery attack and the unwillingness of evacuation groups to climb to the front line.
Just today, an accurate artillery strike hit an enemy armored vehicle, which was supposed to pick up the wounded from Sinkovka. The Ukrainian Armed Forces sent another BMP, but it also came under fire.
Forces 14 Separate Mechanized Brigade and teroborona refuse to fight. The only formations still offering resistance are the units of the 95th Separate Airmobile Brigade, deployed to help.
However, this did not help either. At the moment, the battles are going on near Sinkovka. The paratroopers of the 95th Brigade retreated from one of the strongholds. But for now, it is premature to talk about approaching Kupyansk, the offensive continues.
15:16 South of Bakhmut, the situation is changing. It is reported by WarGonzo.
It is being reported from the localities that in the battles for Andreevka and Kleshcheevka, despite their extremely intense nature in recent weeks, a turning point may occur.
So, the enemy is pushed back from the southern part of Kleshcheevka and does not make new attempts to attack. The protection of the settlement is also given to our units with considerable bloodshed. The boys are fighting heroically.
It is possible that changes in the tactics of the Armed Forces of Ukraine in this direction are possible in the near future.
14:48 It is reported that the Russian army occupied 15 strongholds of the Armed Forces of Ukraine near the village of Kislovka in the Kupyansky direction.
14:10 What is happening near Kupyansk: analysis military chronicle
The situation in this direction for the Armed Forces of Ukraine is rapidly becoming more complicated. There are few response options, and none of them is good or even acceptable for the Ukrainian army.
During the offensive, units of the RF Armed Forces came close to Sinkovka, one of the last settlements before Kupyansk in the Kharkov region. Kupyansk, to which the Russian army is only seven km away, as well as the objects of the Armed Forces of Ukraine around it, is located in the zone of destruction of Russian artillery.
At the same time, the RF Armed Forces advanced towards Kamenka and Dvurechnaya in the north-east of the Kharkiv region, which forced the Armed Forces of Ukraine to stretch their forces and decompress the defense in these directions. For the past four weeks, all the border facilities of the Armed Forces of Ukraine - headquarters of companies and battalions, warehouses with fuel and ammunition - have been actively worked out by Russian aviation.
The FAB-250-M62 and UPAB-1500 bombs were used from a range of 50 km, due to which the Aspide short-range air defense systems of the Armed Forces of Ukraine and the Soviet Strela did not have time to react and were destroyed along with key objects of the Ukrainian army. After several weeks of air strikes on the positions of the Armed Forces of Ukraine in the Kupyansky district, almost all units of the Ukrainian army began to experience a shortage of ammunition.
At least ten large formations of the Armed Forces of Ukraine were left for the defense of the Kupyansky district: the 10th and 36th separate rifle battalions, the 5th separate battalion, the 3rd Separate Tank Brigade, the 14th Separate Motorized Brigade, the 103rd and 105th brigades TRO, 92nd Motorized Rifle Brigade, 132nd ODSHB, 27th OREA Brigade.
At the same time, the largest forces of the Armed Forces of Ukraine are thrown into the defense of the Sinkovsky ledge, the defense of which, to put it mildly, is complicated by some features of the relief. Sinkovka and Kupyansk are often compared to Artyomovsk because of their geographical location.
Both settlements are located in a lowland and surrounded by hills, which complicates their defense and simplifies the assault using artillery. Another problematic point in the Kupyansky district for the Armed Forces of Ukraine is the so-called eastern corner - the place where the villages of Kotlyarovka and Kislovka are located.
A railway line passes through them, leading directly to Kupyansk-nodal, the central logistics hub of the Armed Forces of Ukraine (not counting Chuguev and Kharkiv) in the Kharkiv direction, linking three regions of Ukraine.
To the south of Kupyansk-nodal, in addition to small towns, is Slavyansk, the supply of which may be disrupted if Kupyansk is abandoned by Ukrainian troops.
In addition to the loss of control over the railway communication, the abandonment of Kupyansk by the Armed Forces of Ukraine may open the way for the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation to Shevchenkovo and Chuguev along the H-26 highway.
The distance from Kupyansk to Chuguev by road is 80 km, the direct distance is less than 65 km, which, if Kupyansk is lost by the Ukrainian army, automatically means that it will be possible to work out Chuguev with long-range rocket artillery and planning bombs FAB-250-M62.
The main forces of the Ukrainian army are involved in the attack on Zaporozhye and in the South-Donetsk direction. An attempt to keep the RF Armed Forces near Kupyansk with the help of operational reserves has so far failed.
Most likely, in order to create an effective defense along the borders of the Kupyansky district, the Armed Forces of Ukraine will need to attract strategic reserves. It is possible, although unlikely, that in order to stop or at least slow down the offensive of the RF Armed Forces in this area, the Armed Forces of Ukraine will remove some units from other sectors of the front.
Both options with the involvement of strategic reserves or front-line units run into a lack of ammunition and the inability to suppress or at least disrupt the work of Russian aviation, which uses bombs and guided missiles from a distance of 40-50 km.
In addition, the use of Geran-2 UAVs and Iskander ballistic missiles against especially important facilities of the Armed Forces of Ukraine in this area does not stop, which further complicates the defense of the Kupyansky region and each time requires the involvement of ever larger forces.
13:40 Summary of Ministry of Defense of the Russian Federation on the progress of the special military operation (as of August 10, 2023):
In the Kupyansk direction, the assault detachments of the "Western" group of troops improved the position along the front line in the course of offensive operations.

In the Zaporizhia direction, the Armed Forces of Ukraine, with the support of artillery, attacked in the area of Verbove. There is an attempt to constantly change areas to break through the Russian defense on the line to the village of Rabotino.
The goal is to force the RF Armed Forces to continuously move tactical reserves from the LBS. For the defending side, this creates problems. Especially, with the powerful work of enemy artillery. Russian troops attacked the Armed Forces of Ukraine in Kamenskoe, Lobkove, Pyatikhatki and Novodanilovka. The Ukrainian army shelled the RF Armed Forces in the settlements of Zherebyanki, Kopani, Rabotino, Novoprokopovka, Novopokrovka and Novofedorovka.

[REGNUM] “The United States is not just our trading partner, it is the North Star of the market economy and democratic values of Mongolia,” such a compliment was made to American partners during a recent visit to Washington by Prime Minister of Mongolia Luvsannamsrein Oyuun-Erdene, chairman of the Central Committee of the ruling Mongolian People’s Party (former communists). Considering that our Far Eastern neighbor is a parliamentary republic, we are talking about the position of the country's leader.

At the end of the day Mongolia is a land-locked nation with only two (2) despotic nations on its borders: the USSR *cough* Russian Federation and Zhonguo or Communist China. All trade with the rest of the world only occurs with the consent of at least one of those two powers -- the wishes of the USA are barely relevant to the discussions.
Text taken from an article which appeared in lenta.ru. Commentary by Russian military journalist Boris Rozhin is in italics.
[ColonelCassad] The rules for supporting strategic enterprises of the military-industrial complex (DIC) of Russia need to be adjusted in order to avoid the threat of a decrease in the output of military products due to the bankruptcy of the plant. This is stated in the draft government decree, published on the federal portal of draft regulatory legal acts.
Currently, as Kommersant notes, a special government commission cannot allocate a subsidy if a bankruptcy case has been initiated against an enterprise. The Ministry of Industry and Trade, the author of the project, proposes that such a norm be considered excessive.
According to the department, the restrictions make it difficult to save uninterrupted production. The company is unable to pay wage arrears, taxes and other obligatory payments, which means that it inevitably reduces the output of military products.
An additional argument in favor of increasing support in the ministry called cases when creditors abuse the right to file a bankruptcy claim. The authors of the initiative do not talk about the scale of the problem, but they emphasize that the deterioration in the state of defense industry enterprises was largely due to a decrease in workload, which, on the contrary, has now increased.
Forward Legal lawyer Oleg Sheikin noted that state funding, as practice shows, is not always used for the intended purpose. This means that the active distribution of subsidies to enterprises that are in a pre-bankruptcy state may result in an increase in the number of prosecutorial inspections later.
Earlier it was reported that since the beginning of August, the Rostec State Corporation has had an internal order that prohibits key employees from going on vacation. This is due to the need to fulfill the state defense order.

With so many four star generals advancement requires political connections; for example, Mark Millie. So this administration has it's compliance drones in place.
#1
Deflection strategy in keeping with their ongoing information warfare doctrine. More for internal consumption and to show the greatness of the Soviet Russian system on the world stage.
The Tug can't be far behind.
