Some Ukrainian military units have been pulled out of the area close to the Russian border in the eastern part of the country, Ukrainian National Security and Defense Council spokesman Andriy Lysenko said.

“Some units that were deployed close to the Dovzhanske, Izvaryne, and
Chervonopartyzansk checkpoints and were under constant artillery fire,
including from Grad systems, have been pulled away to new and safe
positions,” Lysenko said at a press conference on Aug. 1.

Ukrainian border guards have also registered the flight of a drone
from Transdniestria in the area of the village of Zahnitkiv, the Kodyma
district of the Odesa region, and the village of Studena, the Pischanka
district of the Vinnytsia region, which has happened for the third time
over the past several days, Lysenko said.
