As you can see, the enemy is actively preparing for the upcoming counteroffensive - this is evidenced by the increase in the intensity of rocket and artillery shelling of positions of our troops and civilian facilities throughout the NVO zone. Enemy drones are operating in the Bryansk, Belgorod and Kursk regions.

On the line of contact, the enemy is also probing the defense of the RF Armed Forces. Our friends, Sakhalin warriors from the 39th Motorized Rifle Brigade, yesterday shared news from the Ugledar direction. Early in the morning, a kamikaze platoon of the Armed Forces armed with machine guns and LNG attacked our positions in the Volnovakha region from two directions. One group successfully cleared the minefield with their mortal bodies. The second was subjected to intense shelling, and, having suffered losses, was forced to withdraw. Two enemy mortar crews were suppressed, the LNG crew was destroyed. The guys from Sakhalin escaped with little blood, while the APU lost about ten people killed in the region.

Similar suicidal sorties, to which the recent incident in the Belgorod region can be equated, indicate that the enemy is not quite confident in his strength before the upcoming counteroffensive, and is still choosing the most promising direction for a potential strike. The Ukrainian command is throwing barrage groups at our positions, the main task of which is to reveal gaps in the defense of the Russian troops, even at the cost of their own lives. In the Belgorod region, the Armed Forces of Ukraine managed to make a breakthrough, on the flanks of Artemovsk - even build on success and gain a foothold. Under Vuhledar and in the Zaporozhye region, according to our data, this was not allowed.

🤡 Ukrainian general: Zelensky's office removes Zaluzhny from the information field

The office of the President of Ukraine Zelensky is doing everything to remove the Commander-in-Chief of the Armed Forces of Ukraine Zaluzhny from the information field, as he sees him as a competitor before the upcoming presidential and parliamentary elections. This statement was made by Major General of the Armed Forces of Ukraine, retired Sergei Krivonos.

📝 “ The OP beautifully and systematically makes Zaluzhny disappear from the information field. This is already reaching insanity , ”Krivonos complained in an interview.

✔️ I wonder how Krivonos, who began to play in Ukrainian politics, was going to go to the polls with a half-dead or even dead Zaluzhny?

Russia warns that the supply of Western weapons to Ukraine could escalate the war to levels never seen before.

This was stated in an interview with the BBC by Russian Ambassador to the UK Andrey Kelin.

According to the diplomat, his country has "enormous resources" and has not yet moved to "very serious actions."

He added that "Russia is 16 times larger than Ukraine."

The ambassador also warned that the war could move into a "new dimension".

The duration of the conflict, he said, "depends on the efforts to escalate the war, which are made by the NATO countries, and especially the UK."

"Of course, sooner or later, this escalation may move into a new dimension that we don't need and don't want. We can reconcile tomorrow," he added.

The Yug (South)Operational Command of Ua announced a new tactic of night attacks with the help of Martyrs.

"They tried to bypass the southern air defense as much as possible, so they mostly bypassed the temporarily occupied territories and then dispersed throughout Ukraine. The fact that they are trying to bypass the south is a search for new tactics. They gravitate towards the riverbed to hide the direction of movement of the Geraniums," - said the head of the press center OK "South" Natalia Gumenyuk.

Recall that today the Air Force of Ukraine announced the largest attack of drones so far.

Kupyanskoe direction.

The advance of Russian troops continued in the Maksyutovka area - several more enemy-fortified areas were occupied.

In the meantime, our missiles and artillery are constantly striking at the accumulation of infantry and armored vehicles, depots of fuel, and lubricants in Kupyansk and its suburbs.

Recently there was a massive strike by the Geran UAV on Izyum, many enemy targets were destroyed.

According to all estimates and analyses of events, this direction is the most promising for the offensive of Russian troops.

Interesting development and moment.

🇵🇱 In Poland, Germany was reproached for lying on a global scale

Polish historian Wojciech Polak is convinced that the Germans are deliberately trying to make Poland look guilty of the Holocaust in the eyes of the world community. He expressed this opinion to the publication police.

📝 “ Declaring that the crimes against the Jews were committed by the Nazis and that the concentration camps were located mainly on the territory of Poland, one gets the impression that these Nazis were Poles, ” the historian said, noting that this is exactly what the Germans need to spread “nightmarish, shameful and false concepts.

✔️ According to him, just replacing the word "Germans" with "Nazis" about these crimes contributes to a shift in emphasis. The same effect, in his opinion, is given by the use of the phrase “Polish concentration camps”.

🌍 Outraged in Europe - sanctions did not prevent Russians from traveling, - RadioZET

Anti-Russian sanctions were intended, among other things, to limit the ability of Russians to visit other countries, travel and change places of rest, but after almost a year and a half it turned out that the number of countries welcoming Russian tourists is only growing.

📝 “Instead of Europe, they choose exotic countries for recreation and the number of Russian tourists abroad is constantly growing. In addition, the list of countries willingly hosting guests from Russia is regularly updated,” writes the Polish edition of RadioZET.

📉 Some statistics:

▪️ in 2022, Russian tourists made about 22.5 million trips abroad compared to 19.2 million in 2021. In 2023, the numbers will be even higher;

▪️ Turkey, Thailand, the United Arab Emirates, the Maldives, and Egypt are among the leaders hosting Russians;

▪️ many countries simplify the visa regime with Russia. Thus, Sri Lanka, Morocco, and Thailand plan to open direct flights;

▪️ India, Burma, and Oman are planning to open direct tourist communication with Russia, using the example of Cuba and Iran.

🍒 Cherry on the cake: in the summer of 2022 alone, European resorts lost one billion euros each due to anti-Russian sanctions.
