According to Ukrinform, Zelensky stated this in his video address. 

The president said he had received a report from the Security Service of Ukraine (SSU) and approved new operations.

"Today, Oleksandr Poklad reported on what was accomplished in July. We set the priorities for August. I am grateful to the SSU for the strong positions. Today, the Ministry of Defense reported on Russian casualties on the front line in July. The Security Service of Ukraine's Apha unit ranks first in terms of successful target engagements. They were the most successful. Well done! Overall, in July, all our units on the front eliminated 30,272 Russians – specifically using drones. This figure includes both killed and badly wounded. And this figure includes only cases for which there is clear video evidence," Zelensky said.

He emphasized that the trend on the battlefield remains unchanged, with Russia losing around 30,000 troops every month.

"Our army and all units of Ukraine's Defense and Security Forces will have even more drones," the president assured.

As Ukrinform previously reported, during a 40-day campaign, the Security Service of Ukraine struck more than 100 strategic targets deep inside Russia and in temporarily occupied territories, as well as more than 21,000 targets on the front line.
