Two claims from 20 August 2022 show how the southern front was described in the days before the covered date.
What was being reported from southern Ukraine in the days leading up to 22 August 2022? Two items from 20 August stand out, both filed under the Southern Ukraine campaign of the Russian invasion.
In Voznesensk, in Mykolaiv Oblast, Russian shelling hit a residential building on 20 August. Nine civilians were injured, including four children, according to regional governor Vitaliy Kim.
The same day, Russia said that a number of its soldiers in Zaporizhzhia had been poisoned by Ukraine. Russia said tests had found Botulinum toxin type B in their bodies. The claim was Russia's own, and the reports supplied no confirmation of it.
