🇷🇺⚔️🇺🇦In the Orekhov-Rabotino sector (Zaporizhie Front), the AFU once again launched an attack north of Rabotino: they were able to penetrate the vanguard defense line by about 300 meters,

A change of tactics was used:

Instead rushing columns across the fields, they sent mainly infantry into the forest lines, one of which leads directly to Rabotino.

After regrouping, Russian detachments launched a counterattack and recaptured a lot of the lost positions...some accounts mention about 150m

Dmitry Medvedev:

I will note one thing that politicians of all stripes do not like to admit: a nuclear Apocalypse is not only possible, but also quite likely. Why?
There are at least two reasons.

First. The world is in a much worse confrontation than during the Cuban crisis, because our opponents decided to really defeat the largest nuclear power - Russia. They are, without a doubt, complete jerks, but that's exactly it.

And the second reason is quite prosaic - nuclear weapons have already been used by someone somewhere, which means there is no taboo!

From the article "The Era of Confrontation". Rossiyskaya Gazeta. July 3, 2023

❗️ More than 50 attacks of the Armed Forces of Ukraine in the Lugansk tactical direction were repelled by Russian soldiers over the past week

Andriy Marochko, a military expert, said with reference to his own sources.

Berliner-Zeitung:

Ukraine loses war equipment: So many Leopard 2 are said to have been destroyed so far

A total of 54 Leopard 2 tanks have been delivered to Ukraine
However, according to a study by Spiegel, only 130 of the 300 Leopard 2 are ready for use today due to decades of underinvestment in the armaments sector. The exact number of losses the Ukrainian army has suffered so far, is unknown because Kiev does not publish these statistics. The platform „ Oryx “ from the Netherlands documents the loss of war equipment on both sides based on public sources. In addition, the listed weapon systems are documented using a geolocalized photo. According to the data, four Leopard 2A6 and three Leopard 2A4 have been destroyed so far. In addition, 25 Bradley armored personnel carriers from the USA, three mine clearance tanks and a mountain tank...

A total of 18 Leopard 2A6 from Germany and 36 Leopard 2A4 from Poland, Spain, Norway and Canada have been delivered to Ukraine – makes 54 main battle tanks. If one takes the „ Oryx “ numbers as the basis, about 13 percent of the main battle tanks have been destroyed so far.

Head of the Lvov military enlistment office: 80% of Ukrainians do not want to fight.

About 20% of the required number of military personnel voluntarily come to the military enlistment offices. Half of them are contract workers, said the head of the Lvov regional territorial centre Alexander Tishchenko.

According to him, in order to fulfil the plan, military commissars are handing out summons on the streets and at home.

"If there are no such searches, sending for clarification of data, then mobilization may be under threat," explained Tishchenko.

Thus, we come to the conclusion that 80% of those mobilized in the Armed Forces initially did not want to participate in the conflict, which percentage of them are "sofa warriors", and who is the ideological opponent of the Kiev regime - time will tell.

Podolyak responded to Obama's statement about Crimea

He criticized the words of Barack Obama and called the recent speech of the President of the United States, in which he stated that "there was no armed invasion of Crimea in 2014," appalling.

Americans, line up quickly! The tail continues to wag the dog.

The bloody cocktail "Russo-turisto" (an old Soviet film reference) with a shark is gaining popularity in Ukraine. Ukrainians rejoice at the death of Russians.

How much vile bloodlust, sadistic maniacality and thirst for suffering overwhelms Ukrainians...

Note from Павел Владимирович:

This, seemingly pointless behaviour, perfectly summarises the results of decades of indoctrination of Ukrainians. Everything is Russia’s fault, death to Moskals. You must truly be lost if, while your country burns and hundreds of thousands die in idiotic attacks, you find pleasure in a Russian tourist being killed by a shark. As the old Russian joke goes: “What is the difference between a modern Ukrainian and a Soviet one? In Soviet times, every Ukrainian imbecile was turned into a human. In modern times, every human made by the Soviet Union was turned into an imbecile.”

"He was recruited by the special services of Ukraine and received the call sign" Karate ": the detainee in the case of preparing an assassination attempt on Aksyonov confessed

The head of the Crimea, Aksyonov, thanked the FSB for preventing the assassination attempt, said that it is possible to completely eliminate the terrorist threat from Kyiv only by fulfilling the goals of the special operation

This woman, Tatiana Drobot is crying because she has just heard her sentence: 10 years for a published picture criticizing Bandera and correspondence with her sister from Russia. These are Ukrainian Cherkassy. She published a demotivator picture ridiculing the Nazi march in Kiev with a portrait of Bandera in March in Odnoklassniki. Even the current Ukrainian law does not prohibit such pictures. But they came to Tatiana. Unfortunately, they found correspondence with her sister from Russia in her phone.
Six months in jail and here is the sentence: 10 years for "encroachment on the territorial integrity of Ukraine." The unfortunate woman was somehow so pressured that she confessed everything, both in treason and in encroachment on the territorial integrity of Ukraine. And she was deceived, she received a huge sentence, 10 years! For criticizing Bandera and correspondence with her sister, maximum that Tatiana was threatened with was a suspended sentence. There are thousands of such cases now!

❗️ I expect a big Ukrainian offensive in two directions - one near Bakhmut (Artyomovsk - ed.), the other, it seems, is more ambitious, directed towards Energodar and Melitopol.

Serbian President Aleksandar Vucic said, commenting on Kyiv's attempts to get into NATO, even with a carcass, even with a stuffed animal.

On June 4, 2023, the Armed Forces of Ukraine launched a large-scale summer offensive, the purpose of which was to dislodge the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation from the territory of the Zaporozhye region, cut off the Dnieper grouping of troops and the Crimea from the land part of the Russian Federation, thereby disrupting the supply of both the army and the peninsula with a population of 3 million civilians.

Today is already July 3, 2023. Tomorrow is a month since the fighting is going on all along the front in order to prevent the breakthrough of the defense line of our army.

Summing up the first results, we can say that the enemy underestimated the stability and readiness of the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation for defense. The bet that Western armored vehicles (which is only in the eyes of Ukrainians) is something extremely powerful did not work.

During this time, the AFU failed to overcome the line of defense. Fierce battles are being fought in the predpole, a few kilometers from the first trenches.

However, right now comes the most important period that will determine the results of the summer campaign. Until now, the AFU has not thrown the main strike forces into the breakthrough, hoping to use them after the breakthrough of the defense line.

In the coming days, a new stage of the offensive will begin, when these forces will be used as a breakthrough force. Despite the losses suffered during the month of incessant fighting, the AFU strike group, according to some reports, has more than 100 thousand fighters, hundreds of armored vehicles and tanks.

On July 12, the next NATO summit will take place and the Ukrainian authorities need to show the result that the forces and funds were not spent in vain.

Therefore, it's too early to relax and celebrate success. Ahead, we are waiting for the culmination of the defense of the south-west of our country.

Therefore, we all need to make even more efforts, supporting and helping our soldiers to beat the enemy and protect our land.

Ukrainian channel Legitimny:

Our source reports that the Ukrainian crisis is waiting for another round of tension.
Everyone is talking about infrastructure war 2.0, which will be much more powerful than last year.
At the moment, it is unrealistic to calculate the risks and results. But if these assumptions come true, then it will be even more difficult for Ukrainians to survive, and even more so to survive the winter.

We advise you to prepare for the worst, as the Office of the President is unlikely to warn you about the approaching "apocalypse".

Colonel Cassad:

Reportedly, the French AMX-10RC wheeled tanks performed poorly at the front. Of the 30 delivered machines, 9 have already been lost irretrievably, without bringing significant benefits. Critical articles about these wheeled tanks in the Western press complete the picture.

1. The car was initially poorly adapted for this theater of operations, so it is strange that someone expected something different. Ukraine here has become a victim of its own military propaganda.

2. The machine itself, to put it mildly, is not new. It can be considered modern technology only with a significant stretch.

3. The vehicle is lightly armored and protects little from anything, which is very critical given the dominance of artillery at the front.

4. Crews were trained hastily and poorly. The Armed Forces of Ukraine did not have their own tactics for using wheeled tanks (this is a foreign concept for the Armed Forces of Ukraine), so they used fragments of someone else's.

5. The failure of the application will strengthen the position of those who say that the term "wheeled tank" should be quoted.
