🤖 AI DAILY — UKRAINE ANALYSISJan 1
Russian losses reached 1,455,420 as of the Aug 7 report (+1,210 on Aug 6). Ukrainian drones hit oil refineries in Yaroslavl and Bashkortostan; Ukrainian forces struck Russian military boats and shadow-fleet vessels in the Black Sea. Ukrainian prosecutors opened a war crimes investigation into the reported execution of a captured Ukrainian soldier near Myrne, Donetsk. Ukraine and the UK discussed strengthening air defense, air capabilities and drone production Aug 6.
👁 Watch: Whether the war crimes investigation into the Myrne execution produces further documentation or identifies additional cases; how the UK air-defense talks translate into concrete interceptor deliveries; and whether the ballistic intercept collapse tracked on this page shows any sign of recovery as Western resupply discussions continue.

📊 Two Curves That Define 2026
Russian losses per month · climbing — July hit a 2026-record 42,860
Russian refining knocked offline · % of capacity, deep-strike campaign
Still the single hottest sector on the front alongside Huliaipole and Kostyantynivka, with Russian assault density consistently heaviest here through late July. Russia claimed the city's capture earlier in the year but has been unable to fully consolidate or push meaningfully west of it since — the front here has stabilized into grinding, incremental fighting rather than a clean breakthrough. Ukraine's AI-enabled drone interdiction (per CSIS) is a major reason Russian gains remain historically slow despite the pressure.

🛡️ Ballistic Intercept Rate
Ballistic Intercept Collapse
% of RU ballistic missiles intercepted
June (month)14/54 — 26%
Jun 29–Jul 50/23 — 0%
Jul 6–120/13 — 0%
Jul 13–198/16 — 50%
Jul 20–265/9 — 56%
Most Recent Nights
Jul 25–26 (Kyiv)5/7 — 71%
Aug 1 (Kyiv)1/27 — 4%
Aug 5 (nationwide)0/24 — 0%
Ballistic intercept performance collapsed from 26% in June to zero for most of mid-July as PAC-3 stocks ran out, briefly recovered late-month (Jul 13–19 and Jul 20–26 both show a real rebound, 50% and 56%, and the Jul 25–26 Kyiv strike downed 5 of 7 — 71%, the best single-night rate since the shortage began) — then reversed hard in early August: just 1 of 27 intercepted in the Aug 1 Kyiv attack (9 killed, per Zelensky), and 0 of 24 nationwide on Aug 5. Zelensky says allies have supplied only a third of 2026's planned air-defense missiles compared with 2025. The drone intercept rate has stayed near 90% throughout — this remains specifically an interceptor-inventory story, not a skill or targeting one. Mixed granularity by necessity: June is a monthly figure (CSIS), weekly rows sum only nights with a confirmed ballistic-specific breakdown, and the most recent nights are single engagements (UA Air Force) — a gap between rows (e.g. Aug 2–4) reflects no confirmed large-scale ballistic barrage found for those nights specifically, not a verified pause; heavy drone attacks continued throughout (635 Shaheds intercepted the night of Aug 1–2 alone). Sources noted per row.
Intercept rates: UA Air Force nightly reports (via Militarnyi/Ukrinform); economics per interceptor-drone program disclosures. Cross-reference: Strike War → Air Defense for the full layered-system breakdown, Drone War → Intercept & AD Systems, Great Powers → Defense Industry (PAC-3 production).
