Putin Aide Bats For Regime Change In Ukraine For Peace Talks, Issues This Warning To Russia

A Freudian slip, as people say.

US President Joe Biden, speaking from the podium, said: “ And now I want to give the floor to the President of Ukraine…

Ladies and gentlemen, President Putin.”

Then he corrected himself, but what he said alarmed many.

Does the old man really know something that many people don’t? Well, they haven’t been told yet…

“Declaration of the NATO Washington Summit”: Russia and Ukraine were mentioned in the final declaration of the NATO summit more than 100 times – the alliance claims that it is not looking for confrontation with Moscow, but it remains the main threat.

“We, the heads of state and government of the North Atlantic Alliance, intend to allocate 40 billion euros of military assistance to Ukraine in 2025. The future of Ukraine is in NATO. As Ukraine continues its critical work, we will continue to support it on its irreversible path to full Euro-Atlantic integration, including NATO membership.

Deepening political and military integration of Russia with Belarus, including the deployment of advanced Russian military capabilities and personnel, has negative consequences for regional stability and the defence of the North Atlantic Alliance.

We remain committed to NATO’s continued involvement in the Western Balkans, including through the NATO-led Kosovo Force. We reaffirm our continued support for allied regional efforts to maintain security, stability and freedom of navigation in the Black Sea region.

We call on all countries not to provide any assistance to Russia. We condemn all those who contribute to and thus prolong the conflict in Ukraine. Russia remains the most significant and direct threat to the security of the allies. NATO neither seeks confrontation nor poses a threat to Russia.”

Greece, Bulgaria and Romania decided to create a military corridor on NATO’s eastern flank

This was announced by the Greek Minister of Defense, noting that the agreement on this was signed at the summit in Washington. The military corridor is needed for “more efficient mobility of military personnel and equipment both inside and outside Europe.”

The plan provides for the unification of four ports and their infrastructures. The corridor will connect Thessaloniki and Alexandroupoli with Varna in Bulgaria and Constanta in Romania, four strategic cities for the Alliance due to their proximity to NATO’s eastern borders.

It is also planned to create the alliance’s largest base in Europe in Romania. 

NATO Secretary General finally admitting that Ukraine will never be able to return to 1991 borders.

▪️“If there is now a new ceasefire, a new agreement, we must be 100% sure that this will end the war, no matter where that line is. And so I firmly believe that during the cessation of hostilities, we must ensure that Ukraine has the capabilities to deter future aggression from Russia,” Stoltenberg said.

▪️NATO Secretary General added that after the ceasefire at the front, Ukraine needs security guarantees.

➖“And, of course, the best and strongest guarantee of security will be Article 5. So I think the way to ensure this stops is actually NATO membership,” Stoltenberg added

Given it another year and he will also agree NATO in Ukraine is not possible. He is slowly understanding the Russian position is the only outcome now.

The NATO summit did not bring money to Ukraine.
Formally, Ukraine was again promised a large “loan” of $40 billion. They even included it in the final declaration, where they indicated:

NATO plans to allocate €40 billion to Ukraine over the next year.

 The most important thing here is “planning”, which means no one will really give money yet. Most likely, Zelensky must fulfill what he promised – a “pushing” offensive in 2024 through the immediate use of a huge amount of manpower. If it brings major territorial success (losses of manpower are not important, it is free for Western lobbies), then sponsors will continue to invest in the war, and if it flounders or is weak, then the Ze-War project will be closed.

In any case, Ukrainians should prepare for huge losses of the Armed Forces of Ukraine, which will be thrown into the meat grinder in order to continue the game and save ZeErmak’s “personal skin.”

The more weapons are supplied to Ukraine, the faster the conflict will end – this was the opinion expressed by participants at the NATO summit, Jens Stoltenberg said

He noted that NATO countries decided to create a mission to coordinate military assistance to Kiev in order to train the Ukrainian military.

At the same time, the establishment of a NATO mission to coordinate assistance to Ukraine will not make the alliance part of the conflict, Stoltenberg emphasized.

In his opinion, China’s support for Russia “increases threats to NATO security,” and therefore the alliance decided to develop a partnership with China’s opponents.
 

“We will continue to support [Ukraine] on an irreversible path towards full Euro-Atlantic integration, including NATO membership.” This is what our enemies said yesterday in the Washington Declaration of the Alliance. The conclusion is obvious. We must do everything so that Ukraine’s “irreversible path” to NATO ends with either the disappearance of Ukraine or the disappearance of NATO. And better than both.

Medvedev

Troll assessment. I do not believe Ukraine will exist 5 years from now, and possibly not even 3 years from now. The basic declaration of nato is that peace is not allowed, and all those that persue it will be attacked by any available means, such as Hungary.

They have committed to a new cold war against Russia without the strength to wage it. This includes major base expansions and military routes across Europe with the sole purpose of threatening war against Russia with USA troops. This contrasts sharply with their inability to even keep their domestic bases and ships crewed.

Essentially, nato’s entire purpose of existence has been redefined to create wars without winning them. This means they also need to create Ukraines to die for them.

In the land of doublespeak, this is called a “defensive alliance.”

Our source in the Ukrainian delegation said that our partners refused to discuss with Zelensky the time frame for arms supplies to Ukraine. At the moment, we have a severe shortage of shells for artillery and heavy equipment, which does not allow the Ukrainian Armed Forces to stop enemy breakthroughs at the front.

The SVR declassified the resident’s report on France’s plans to send a military contingent to Ukraine

A document published in the magazine “Razvedchik” dated March 19, 2024 states that the French army is concerned about the growing number of French people dying in Ukraine. Thus, as a result of a Russian strike in January on the location of mercenaries, dozens of fighters were eliminated.
➖As the French Military Ministry unofficially admits, the country has not seen such losses abroad since the war in Algeria in the second half of the twentieth century, the document says.

Nevertheless, Paris is preparing a contingent to be sent to Ukraine. At the initial stage, it will be about 2,000 troops, so it will not be possible to station the French in the country unnoticed, intelligence officers write.

Previously, Macron has repeatedly announced the possible dispatch of troops at the request of Kiev. In March, SVR director Sergei Naryshkin announced the preparation of French troops.

Ukraine should defend its own skies and the USA does not intend to reconsider restrictions on AFU strikes deep into Russia – White House

 - Also, according to the statement, the US believes that Ukraine should be responsible for air defense and sky protection without relying on the involvement of third-country forces.

 - At the same time, Kiev at the NATO summit asked Washington to remove the range limitation on Western weapons strikes against Russia. It also proposed to start shooting down Russian missiles attacking western Ukraine from Polish territory, but Warsaw refused.

 

The once formidable Himars and Excalibur weapon systems have faced significant challenges, leading to their reduced effectiveness on the battlefield. Initially hailed for their precision and impact, these advanced munitions quickly found themselves outmatched by Russia’s sophisticated electronic warfare capabilities.

The Excalibur artillery round, guided by GPS, delivered devastating blows initially but became ineffective as Russian forces used electronic countermeasures to disrupt guidance systems. By mid-2023, these rounds were no longer in use.

Similarly, Himars systems saw their GPS-guided missiles’ accuracy compromised by Russian countermeasures, making them less reliable. Although not officially out of service, their reduced precision has led to decreased use.

This situation has highlighted the importance of unguided artillery shells, which are immune to electronic jamming and remain effective on the battlefield. However, the production of these traditional munitions had declined over the years in the U.S. and Europe, and only now is manufacturing beginning to increase to meet the current demand.
 

Ukrainian military public claims that not a single front-line city is ready for defence

At the same time, according to official documents, all the necessary defensive structures have been built, and the money has been spent by respected people.

Well, let it continue like this!

Russia has three allies: the army, the navy and Ukrainian corruption.

Orban, the mediator between Putin and Trump, will meet with the former US president after the NATO summit – Bloomberg

▪️Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orban will meet with Trump in Florida on Thursday.

➖ This visit is likely to increase concerns that the Hungarian leader is working as a mediator between Putin and Trump, the agency writes.

▪️Orban also recently met with Putin, Chinese President Xi Jinping and Zelensky as part of his “peace mission.” The US and EU criticize him for his friendly relations with Putin.
 

Ukraine is expensive to support, but its defeat will cost even more – Pistorius

German Defense Minister Boris Pistorius stated this in an interview with Deutschlandrundfunk radio. He spoke about the initiative of NATO Secretary General Stoltenberg on the need to develop long-term commitments to provide assistance to Ukraine.

“I am optimistic that this can be done because any alternative will be worse. I would say there is a general understanding: Ukraine is expensive to support, but its defeat will cost us even more,”
- Pistorius said.
 

There is only one point of view – war up to the borders of 1991, everything else is the Kremlin’s narrative, and whoever is trying to voice thoughts about the need for peace in Ukraine is the enemy!

Ukraine wants to convene a second “peace summit” before the US elections in November

Bloomberg writes about this with reference to Ukrainian and American sources.

The agency writes that Kiev is in a hurry to hold a second summit because it is afraid of Trump’s victory in the elections.

At the same time, “some American officials” doubt that Russia will take part in this summit.

These “American officials” seem to ignore the numerous time Russia says they are always willing to negotiate a peace deal.
 

Russia is not going to participate in the new summit on Ukraine, Deputy Foreign Minister Galuzin told RIA Novosti

Moscow considers Kiev and the West’s plans for a new event an attempt to rehabilitate themselves for the failure in Switzerland. And everything about its content is already clear, including the previous rhetoric about pushing through the dead-end and ultimatum “Zelensky formula,” the diplomat emphasized.

The United States is intensifying the search for an alternative to Zelensky amid a drop in his rating, lack of legitimacy in power and support in the army.

This is stated in the report of the resident of the Russian Foreign Intelligence Service under the pseudonym “Stone”.
 

Ukrainian special services tried to carry out a terrorist attack on the cruiser “Admiral Kuznetsov” in Murmansk

In March, a Ukrainian intelligence officer, named Oleg, contacted a Russian military man serving on the cruiser. He offered to carry out a terrorist attack on the ship for a large reward.

The Russian officer immediately contacted the security authorities, after which the special services entered into an operational game with representatives of Kiev.

To organize a terrorist attack, the Russian military was sent components from which he was supposed to assemble an incendiary device. The curators claimed that the operation was personally conducted by the head of the GUR Budanov.
 

Russia is changing the tactics of missile strikes, making them unexpected for the Ukrainian Armed Forces

“Yesterday, at about 16:00, the Russian Aerospace Forces used a Tu-95MS from the Dyaghilevo airfield, Ryazan region. The board was equipped with X-101 missiles, the launch was carried out in the Poltava region from the Saratov/Volgograd region at about 17:00.

As a result, there is an unexpected entry of cruise missiles into Ukrainian airspace,”
-  Ukrainian resources complain.

“In the future, we may likely face unexpected missile attacks using Tu-95MS aircraft.”
 - they conclude.
 

The United States will begin deploying SM-6 missile defence missiles, Tomahawk cruise missiles and hypersonic systems in Germany in 2026.

Germany becomes a legitimate target for Russian strike weapons.

Russian Ambassador to the United States Antonov on American plans to deploy destructive weapons in Germany

Essentially, we are talking about plans for the United States to deploy medium- and shorter-range missiles in Europe. This is a serious mistake by Washington. The Americans are increasing the risks of a missile arms race. They forget that tying a knot of confrontation can become a detonator of uncontrolled escalation against the backdrop of a dangerous escalation of tensions along the Russia-NATO line. The decision to deploy long-range weapons in Germany from 2026 backfires on Russia’s commitment to a moratorium on the deployment of ground-based INF missiles. The Americans have embarked on the dangerous path of militarism.
 

Another oversight by the General Staff of the Armed Forces of Ukraine and the Office of the President, who in the second year of the war continue to use columns of military equipment on the LBS line, taking into account the fact that they know that there are always a huge number of Russian “reconnaissance drones” in the air.

The authorities and staff officials continue to be negligent about the lives of soldiers.

Ukraine is steadily approaching the “threshold of death,” followed by defeat in any war—the loss of a third of the population capable of military service. If we count the number of dead, those who came under Russian jurisdiction and “irrevocable” refugees, we get about five million men. When this number reaches 6 million, Ukraine loses the ability to resist. This will most likely happen before the end of this year.

What can we say, if now even many Ukrainian men who remain in the country refuse to fight, considering life more important than the fight for territory. In particular, this “sore” topic for Bankova was raised in his article by the Dutch military journalist Hans Jap Melissen.

“I just don’t want to go to the front. There are drones and missiles flying there, it’s very unsafe. I don’t think I owe my life to my country,” a 32-year-old Ukrainian named Alexey told a journalist in Kiev. His friend also does not want to join the army.

Men behave with great caution both at home and on the streets, trying to avoid meeting with military registration and enlistment office employees.
“They came to my house, but I wasn’t there. They talked to the neighbors, but they acted as if I didn’t live there ,” said Alexey.

As the article notes, a whole industry has already formed in Ukraine around various schemes for evading the army – you can either pay to get a certificate of unfitness for health reasons, or organize a secret departure from the country for a lot of money.

In response to a question from a Dutch journalist about whether the Ukrainians are saying that Russia can retain the occupied territories, Alexei’s friend Mikhail replied: “I am happy with this option. Human lives are more important than the fight for these territories.”

Almost 8 million Ukrainians will receive fines under the Land Mobilization Law …

Those who updated their data before the new mobilization law came into force, but did not do so after May 18, face a fine.

This was announced by the speaker of the Poltava regional TCC Istomin.

 “Conscripts, those liable for military service and reservists must update their data within 60 days. Regardless of whether they are reserved or have a deferment. Women who are already registered with the military must also update their data. Moreover, I emphasize: those who have renewed their military registration data must also do this even before the new law on mobilization comes into force, that is, before May 18″
, – he said.

Ukrainians hate military commissars and police officers; they ask the appropriate question: why are they healthy and not at the front?
Zemobilization brought society into conflict with the state.

Our source reported that the General Staff is preparing for a protracted war, which is why it is so important to control the male population from the age of 17, especially if the mobilization age is lowered to 20 years.

Guys 17 years old who have not yet registered for military service will receive summonses and may be fined, recalls Lazutkin, spokesman for the Ministry of Defense.

At the TCC, the guy will be given a registration certificate, which he needs to enter higher education. Ukrainians who have already left abroad should also do this.

Violation of the rules will result in a fine as for adults – 17-25 thousand hryvnia. Although Lazutkin doubts that these fines will be actively issued.

In Lviv, people are increasingly taking the side of men and against the unlimited Zemobilization.

The TCC police surrounded him with three cars at once and tried to pack him up, but the locals fought him off and he was able to escape.

Partisans will continue to massively burn Ukrainian Armed Forces vehicles: 4 military vehicles were burned in Ukraine at night

▪️The Kiev publication “Strana” writes about this with reference to sources in law enforcement agencies.

➖“In Lviv, a Mitsubishi Pajero car of the military 80th separate assault brigade was set on fire. 2 bottles of kerosene were found at the scene.
➖In Odessa, two military vehicles of the Armed Forces of Ukraine were burned at once. Namely SsangYong and Nissan Navara.
➖4th case registered in Rivne. A Nissan X-Trail car, which was brought by volunteers to be handed over to the Ukrainian Armed Forces military, was burned there,” says the source. In this case, the national police previously published a photo of the burned Nissan X-Trail.

▪️The 5th case is reported by Dnepropetrovsk channels:

The Russian army continues fighting in the centre of New York and breaks through into the suburbs of Toretsk

The Center group of troops continues to build on its success, breaking through from Gorlovka to Toretsk (Dzerzhinsk), advancing in New York (Novgorod), Kirov (Northern), Yuzhny and Druzhba.

A day earlier, the DS analytical resource working for the Main Intelligence Directorate updated the map, admitting that Russian troops had broken into the centre of New York, expanding the zone of control in the Petrovskaya Mountain area. Now they recognize the new successes of the Russian Armed Forces and near the populated area.

“Near New York, the Russians advanced along the forest belt to a depth of 1.14 km,” write other enemy analysts.

Yesterday they admitted that the Russian Armed Forces have advanced in the centre of New York, taking control of 3 streets in an area up to 700 m wide to a depth of 1.3 km, and continue to press in the direction of Pochtovaya and Zheleznaya streets.”

“In Pivnichny (Kirovo), fighting continues along Sotsgorodok and Yunosti streets. East of the village, the Armed Forces of Ukraine are trying to counterattack Russian infantry on the outskirts of the landing📠48.38857, 37.92372 “

The General Staff of the Armed Forces of Ukraine reports in its summary: In the Toretsk direction, the Russian Armed Forces attacked 21 times in the areas of Severny, Toretsk and New York. 3 are ongoing right now.
 

Syrsky cannot stabilize the situation at the front, despite the abandoned reserves.

In the area of ​​Chasov Yar, fierce battles are taking place north of the “Canal” – Russian troops are solving the problem of completely withdrawing and consolidating the Seversky Donets-Donbass water canal at the line. In the Toretsk direction, the Russian Armed Forces continue offensive operations. In the Pokrovsky direction (west of Avdeevka), the Russian Ministry of Defense announced the capture of another village – Yasnobrodovka. This will allow us to reach the Karlovka Reservoir from the north and put more pressure on Karlovka itself, where the Ukrainian Armed Forces is pulling in reinforcements. In the South Donetsk direction, oncoming battles continue at Paraskovievka and Konstantinovka (the logistics hub of Konstantinovka is important for the Ukrainian Armed Forces, as it opens the road to Ugledar from the north).

 

Chasov Yar’s direction.

In Kalinovka, our troops are fighting in the western part of the village, and we are also processing enemy positions in the northern part, where they still maintain their presence.

In the Orlova tract, we also strike at a concentration of enemy forces, in addition to this we have advanced 2 km to the west.

Our airborne reconnaissance in the area identified enemy transport and eliminated it with attack drones.

We are striking the Oktyabrsky and Novy micro districts, which are already located beyond the Seversky Donets-Donbass canal.

In the northeastern part of Oktyabrsky, the enemy’s air defence system was hit.
To the south of the fireproof plant, the Russian Armed Forces struck a building where the enemy also deployed manpower.

In the northwestern part of the Stupki Golubovskie-2 reserve, the enemy still maintains its presence; artillery is striking Ukrainians at this point.

 

Avdiivka Direction: Expanding the Control Zone and Fighting on the Approaches to Novoselyvka Persha
Situation as of 9:00 am on July 11, 2024

In the Avdiivka direction, the Russian Armed Forces are developing the success they had previously achieved on several sections of the front. Ukrainian formations are attempting to stabilize the situation, but unsuccessfully.

▪️Near Novoaleksandrivka, Russian troops have almost reached the eastern outskirts of Lozuvatske. Capturing the village and the surrounding heights will allow the Russian Armed Forces to advance both northwest towards Vozdvyzhentsia and Tymofiyivka, as well as support the advance of Russian units along the railway south towards Prohres.

▪️After the liberation (https://t.me/creamy_caprice/5996) of Sokil and consolidation on the eastern outskirts of Yevheniyivka, assault troops of the Russian Armed Forces are advancing towards the center of the settlement. The neighboring Voskhod is in the “gray zone”, with Russian troops here relying on the previously occupied eastern outskirts.

With the liberation of these settlements, the AFU, deprived of other strong defensive positions, will experience certain difficulties in holding the eastern bank of the Vilcha River.

▪️To the south, the Russian Armed Forces, through a series of attacks supported by armored vehicles and UAVs, have established full control over the “Hourglass” strongpoint. This position covered the approaches to Novoselyvka Persha from the north, which had hindered the offensive actions of Russian units in this area.

Now the Russian Armed Forces can finally proceed with the liberation of Novoselyvka Persha itself, the loss of which will create a crisis in the AFU’s defensive line of Novoselyvka Persha – Yasnobrodivka.

🔻The AFU command has so far failed to stabilize the situation in the Avdiivka direction. The crisis that began with the flight of part of the enemy’s units in the Ocheretyne area allowed the Russian troops to create a salient in the defense line of the Ukrainian formations.

This, in turn, will allow them to establish fire control over part of the N-32 highway, through which several enemy groupings on different sections of the front are being supplied.

Repetition of the Avdeevka meat grinder and expansion of the “Ocheretinsky flower”: where and how the Russian army advances on Pokrovsk

After several days of relative calm, hostilities resumed with renewed vigour and almost immediately grew into rapid advances in several areas.

Territorial progress

The intermediate goal of the Russian army has almost been achieved: after the assault on the village of Sokol and the continuation of the offensive along the railway (which is also a key height), the defence of the Ukrainian Armed Forces in the area of ​​Evgenivka and Novoselovka First is being pushed through. Parallel to the main attack, the “petals” of the offensive, as originally intended, open along the flanks. In the north, a good pace was struck towards Vozdvizhenka and Green Field, and in the south, a closing (encompassing) strike was delivered between Yasnobrodovka and Karlovka (from the direction of Umansky towards the main line of defence of the Ukrainian Armed Forces in Skuchny).

Ukrainian Armed Forces activity

The stronghold settlement for the defence of the Ukrainian army at the moment is Novoselovka Pervaya. After its loss (and all signs of an imminent loss of positions there are already appearing), the Ukrainian Armed Forces may face the prospect of a new sector with a collapse of the front, which will have to be plugged with reserves. To catch hold of populated areas south of the railway, a group of Ukrainian Armed Forces operates consisting of five brigades (including the 47th Mechanized Infantry Brigade “Magura” and the 61st Mechanized Infantry Brigade) and seven separate battalions. Due to the high density of deployment of units, the situation is beginning to resemble the Avdeevka and Artyomovsk meat grinders at the same time: the main supply routes for these formations of the Armed Forces of Ukraine are already under control, and manoeuvring is limited with each passing week both in-depth and along the front.

What’s the result?

Before the onset of bad weather and cold weather, the Ukrainian Armed Forces will probably begin to dig in on more advantageous lines from Vesely to Kalinov. The main line of defence, which the Ukrainian army hastily built after the loss of Avdeevka, Ocheretin and the retreat to the west, cannot play the role of a buffer for the Russian Armed Forces and, at best, will allow the Ukrainian troops to gain a little time for preparation.
 

Russia is on the cusp of breaching Ukraine’s strategic defensive lines to the west of Avdiivka.

very significant battles going on in this area, could have massive ramification for the future of the war in the Donbas if the Russians are able to make progress and Ukraine can’t halt the push

It will increasingly undermine the Ukrainian defensive operations further south and into Zaporozhia

The 238th brigade of the Russian Armed Forces destroyed the PVD in the Krasnogorovka area

Using the 2A65 “Msta-B” artillery system, the 238th artillery brigade of the Russian Armed Forces successfully destroyed a temporary deployment point and an enemy ammunition depot in the area of ​​the settlement of Krasnogorovka. These actions greatly supported the 150th Division’s offensive efforts, strengthening their position and facilitating advances in the region.

The command of the Armed Forces of Ukraine, which is responsible for the grouping of troops in the Kupyansk direction, recognizes the successes of Russian forces near Sinkovka and Petropavlovka in the Kharkov region, Marochko said

He added that the militants in the Kupyansk direction have a low moral and psychological state.

“Let them add more (reserves). The more there are, the more we get.”

Exclusive footage from Volchansk with the work of the Varvara special forces group Akhmat. Destruction of manpower, equipment, UAVs of the Ukrainian Armed Forces, as well as an extremely charismatic commentary from Varvar himself, the squad commander.

Kharkov direction.

Volchansk section.

Fighting continues in multi-storey buildings, our crews in tanks are striking at the AFU entrenched in high-rise buildings.

The key news is that our fighters managed to break through the Volchya River in the area of ​​the aggregate plant and enter the southern part of the city.

In the southeastern part of the city, our drone pilot hit an enemy vehicle with an attack drone.

At Tikhoye we are actively suppressing enemy attempts at counterattacks with aviation.
We also strike hangars with equipment in the village, gradually moving towards the northern outskirts of the village.

The Russian Aerospace Forces attacked a gathering place of enemy equipment and manpower east of the city with FAB 500 with UMPC, which were camouflaged in a forest.

In the Chaplinka area, AFU is trying to build an embankment crossing, and drones are destroying enemy engineering equipment and specialists.
 

Interesting news comes from near Volchansk

There, the Russian army thinned out the personnel of the 82nd Special Airborne Brigade. The same brigade that was first supposed to help the main forces, including the 47th Mechanized Infantry Brigade “Magura”, break through the Russian defence line during the offensive, and then, after the first major losses, went as a reinforcement near Kharkov, where it was actively dying along with other units.

In general, the news about the death of another brigade soldier would have remained ordinary, if not for one circumstance. During one of the strikes, the junior lieutenant, commander of the airmobile company of the airmobile battalion, Alexander Lisenko, born in 1994, was killed.

For those who do not understand what is unusual about this incident, let us explain: companies are usually commanded by a first lieutenant or captain. A junior lieutenant is not suitable for this position for several reasons – first of all, due to insufficient experience. This makes the 82nd Special Airborne Brigade similar to Magura, a brigade staffed with “young and energetic” specifically for last year’s offensive.

This practice is already the norm for the Ukrainian Armed Forces. In some cases, command powers are given to random privates (empowered privates), as happened, for example, in Krynki. What does this mean :

Firstly, the shortage of junior and mid-level commanders is not only growing but is also getting worse QUICKLY and in almost ALL units of the Ukrainian army.

Secondly, the appointment of the best of the worst, without experience and in some cases without ingenuity, directly affects the level of losses of the Armed Forces of Ukraine.

The more commanders give meaningless orders, the more often Ukrainian troops rush into meaningless attacks.
 

Chronicles of the special military operation

for July 11, 2024

Ukrainian formations have again launched drones against the rear Russian regions. In the Tula Region, the impact hit the wall of one of the factories on the territory of the Uzlovaya Special Economic Zone.

In the Slobozhansky direction, Ukrainian formations are launching counterattacks in the area of Hlyboke, while the Russian Armed Forces are advancing east of Volchansk.

In the Kupiansk-Svatove direction, according to some information, Russian troops have reached the southern outskirts of Pishchane. The scale of the advance in the area of Stepna Novosilka remains unclear.

In the Oleksandrivka-Kalinovo direction, Russian Armed Forces units are advancing in Druzhba, Kirovo and Leninske. In Novhorodske (New York), Russian assault groups have reached Petrivske Street.

In the Avdiivka direction, Russian troops have hoisted the flag on the western outskirts of Voskhod, confirming the complete liberation of the village. In parallel, the consolidation of Russian units on the northern outskirts of Novoselivka Persha is underway.

In the Zaporizhia direction, the AFU have again shelled the critical infrastructure of the region. In Enerhodar, the water intake facility supplying the population with drinking water came under enemy fire.

Battlefield Ukraine Russia Strikes Ultra-Sensitive Targets

WAR UPDATE: MASSIVE Russian Gains In Krasnohorivka; Siversk’s Southern Flank In Danger

Ukraine Abandons Krasnohorivka & Russia Storms Chasiv Yar

Russian Forces Storms Novoselivka Persha l Russian Advance In Stelmakhivka

Heavy fighting & and advances on several fronts [11 July 2024]

THE RUSSIAN WERE RIGHT… It’s all true… | Ukraine War SITREP / Summary

Morning Summary as of July 11, 2024

▪️Overnight, the enemy attacked the rear areas of Russia with UAVs of the aircraft type. Targets were shot down over the Tambov, Moscow, Bryansk and Tula Regions.

▪️In the Kharkiv direction, the Russian Armed Forces repelled at least three enemy attacks near Tikhiy, Volchansk, Liptsy, and Hluboky. The enemy is sending infantry into battle supported by artillery and drones. Our troops strike deep into the enemy’s combat formations with FAB bombs equipped with JDAM and JDAM-ER, destroying a warehouse in the rear of the AFU.

▪️In the Svatove-Kupiansk direction, the Russian Army expanded control zones near Ternovy, Makiivka (LPR) and Synkivka. The enemy is slowly but surely retreating to more advantageous positions to organize a sustainable defense. The fighting is of local significance, and there is no talk of deep breakthroughs of the AFU defense yet, although some exhaustion of the enemy’s troops in this sector of the front is observed.

▪️In the direction of Chasiv Yar, there are battles north of Kalinivka (Kalinovo) for access to the Siversky Donets – Donbas canal, with our troops advancing. South of Klishchiyivka – in the gray zone, Andriyivka – in the “semi-gray” zone, so far without our forces entering.

▪️On the Toretsk (Dzerzhynsk) (https://t.me/dva_majors/47046) direction, the Russian Armed Forces continue to break through the enemy’s defenses. There is progress near New York (Novhorodske), which is being turned into ruins under constant FAB strikes. The control zone has been expanded near Pivdenne and Kirovo. This is leading to a serious envelopment of the AFU fortified area.

▪️In the Pokrovsk direction (west of Avdiivka), the enemy’s resources acknowledge the loss of Yevhenivka as a result of the offensive of the Russian Army. Along the entire 20 km front line, the Russian Armed Forces are conducting active battles, advancing 200-300 meters per day in certain areas. The enemy is fiercely resisting.

▪️On the Zaporizhia front, there are local battles, with no significant changes in the line of contact reported. The AFU struck Enerhodar with artillery and drones, disrupting the regular power supply once again.

▪️In the Kherson direction, the Russian Armed Forces continue the grueling battle for the islands, with mutual shelling ongoing.

▪️Tragic news continues to come from the Belgorod Region. Shebekino was shelled from MLRS by the AFU, while Graivoron and its surroundings are under constant strikes.
