Russian air defense forces shot down seven guided aerial bombs, a rocket of the U.S.-made HIMARS multiple launch rocket system, and 936 fixed-wing drones, the ministry said.

At the same time, he expressed confidence that the pause between rounds would not be prolonged. Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov has stated earlier that Moscow does not rule out the possibility of a new round of trilateral peace talks in October. Head of the Office of the President of Ukraine Kyrylo Budanov has also confirmed a new round of trilateral talks is planned next month.
