About the attempted strike of the Armed Forces of Ukraine on the Crimean bridge

Ukrainian formations once again tried to strike at Russian facilities in the Republic of Crimea.

Anti-aircraft gunners of the 31st Air Defense Division of the RF Armed Forces intercepted a missile north of Taman. There was no damage or casualties, the wreckage fell into the waters of the Sea of Azov.

The last time the Armed Forces of Ukraine tried to attack the peninsula was in the middle of last month: then, thanks to the well-coordinated work of air defense crews and electronic warfare units, 11 drones were neutralized.

🔻It is not known for certain what the Ukrainian formations were trying to strike with. The head of Crimea, Sergei Aksyonov, said that it was a cruise missile, but even with a maximum range of 300 km, Ukrainian aircraft would have to launch near the front line, which is dangerous due to the actions of our air defense.

Most likely, the use of a modernized missile from the S-200 complex, which was redesigned for strikes along a ballistic trajectory. This range is about 400 km.

And in this situation, it is curious that the Armed Forces of Ukraine struck exactly after the official recognition of the organization of the terrorist attack on October 8 on the Crimean bridge, which to some extent may indicate intentions to intensify attacks on an important logistics facility.

🇬🇧🇺🇦 An attempt to strike the bridge could be linked to pressure on the Russian leadership to extend the grain deal, which expires on July 17th. But this option is unlikely, since the Ukrainian units were instructed not to work in this direction for the time being.

In this situation, one cannot fail to notice how it is presented in the Ukrainian media, especially against the backdrop of the return of the leaders of Azov to Ukraine: an allegedly new reality for Crimea and Russia as a whole.

📌This strike, as in the Rostov region, is more like part of a strategic information operation, the purpose of which is to raise the moral and psychological state of the members of the Armed Forces of Ukraine before a new phase of the offensive.

It's no secret that the losses of the units of the Armed Forces of Ukraine that participated in the battles on the front line are huge. Some of those that were in the Zaporizhzhia direction had already been sent for re-staffing with mobilized ones.

These strikes should convince both Ukrainian units and mercenary units that they are allegedly winning. And this, as planned, should make them go on the offensive, and not scatter in a panic from the front lines, seeing the futility of what is happening for Ukraine.

❗️ And such drone raids or missile launches will only increase in the coming days, since Ukrainian formations will not drive themselves to storm strongholds without a push from outside.

Lavrov, during a telephone conversation with the Turkish Foreign Minister, discussed the regional agenda with an emphasis on recent events around Ukraine, including the situation with the return of the "leaders of Azov" (a terrorist organization banned in the Russian Federation) from Istanbul, the Russian Foreign Ministry said.

Lavrov, during a conversation with a colleague from Turkey, noted the destructiveness of the course towards continuing the supply of military equipment to Kiev. The conversation took place on the initiative of the Turkish side.

"Volyna" (one of the Ukrainian Azovstal commanders returned recently from Turkey to Ukraine, commander of the 36th brigade of Marines) confirmed that the American military was indeed sitting on "Azovstal" and the surrender of the garrison occurred after the United States agreed with the Russian Federation on the exchange of surrender of the Armed Forces of Ukraine for the evacuation of the Americans. He also complained that during the month of sitting at Azovstal, hundreds of Ukrainian Armed Forces officers had died senselessly.

The capitulation of Azovstal was exchanged for the withdrawal of the American military from the territory of the plant.

"I would like to start preparing replenishment. My combat experience is limited to the defense of Mariupol, and since then military affairs have moved forward a lot. All this needs to be mastered. I don't want to go straight to the front. Perhaps this would be important for propaganda, but we have already been kept for almost a month in the catacombs under Azovstal, where we senselessly lost hundreds of our soldiers. And, probably, almost everyone would have died there if not for the intervention of the Americans, who agreed with the Russians to withdraw their high-ranking officers from the facility in exchange for the capitulation of the garrison ..."

— "Volyna" in an interview with Turkish media

By "sitting for propaganda," Volyn means Zelensky's order, which is an order not to hand over Azovstal until May 9, in order "not to give rise to an additional holiday." As a result, the remnants of the garrison stayed until May 9, after which they began to gradually surrender a week after the holiday.

Zelensky in an interview with the American television company ABC:

"The war must end with justice and peace in order for us to restore our territorial integrity. Why? Because the end of the hot phase of the war and the end of the conflict will not mean the end of the war".

⭐️ In fact, Zelensky said that even if he is ordered to stop the current war, the conditional 8-year shelling of our territory will continue, only along the entire front line. Meanwhile, the remnants of Ukraine will again prepare for war.

The very fact of discussing a possible curtailment of current hostilities is interesting. This may indicate the depletion of Western resources specifically to support Ukraine, or the completion of the redistribution of markets by transnational corporations.

In any case, the West will not close the Anti-Russia project in the form of Ukraine just like that, which will act as a deterrent for our country, regardless of whether the hot phase is completed now.

As for our diplomats and elites, their desire to quickly return to the state "so that everything is as before the SMO" is visible to the naked eye, starting with negotiations with the enemy in 2022 in Belarus and Istanbul. Perhaps the rebellion of the musicians also prompted some decisions. The constant statements of our esteemed leaders about "Ukraine's readiness for negotiations" also do not add clarity to the way to achieve the stated goals of the SMO (Special Military Operation).

No matter how the situation unfolds, no one in the West, and even more so in Ukraine, does not intend to give Russia a chance to develop calmly.

So for now, only one thing is clear: in different forms, but the war will be long.

Zelensky actually told the Americans that they should support Ukraine for as long as it takes:

“As for the word ‘enough’, we Ukrainians are not the people who are known for excessive appetites (sic!). Our victory is enough for us. Honestly, when we have 'enough' for us to win, then that's enough."

Translated from Ukrainian channel:

Our source reports that for the first time in July, the Office of the (Ukrainian) President faced the fact that Ukraine is given less weapons and ammunition than it loses/consumes per day.
This creates a gradual shortage that threatens the entire combat capability of the army in the future. At the moment the situation is not critical, but if it continues within 200 days, it is very difficult to calculate the consequences.
The only thing that everyone understands is that in this situation, Ukraine will be forced to go on the defensive, perhaps it will begin to lose new territories, and this may start panic among the masses and negativity. They will respond only with single strikes, sabotage attacks and attacks on border regions.

Moreover, it is worth recalling that by the beginning of 2024, the shortage of manpower will increase in the Ukrainian army, when there will be less recruits than they lose at the front.

Gerasimov listened to the report of the head of the headquarters of the Aerospace Forces on repelling a missile attack by the Armed Forces of Ukraine
Gerasimov listened to the report of the Chief of Staff of the Aerospace Forces on the destruction of four missiles of the Armed Forces of Ukraine on July 9

MOSCOW, July 10 — RIA Novosti. Valery Gerasimov, Chief of the General Staff of the Russian Armed Forces, heard a report from the Chief of the Main Staff of the Aerospace Forces on the destruction of four Ukrainian ballistic targets on July 9, the Defense Ministry reported.
On July 9, Kyiv unsuccessfully tried to strike at the Crimea, Rostov and Kaluga regions with S-200 anti-aircraft missiles converted into a strike version.
Russian air defense systems destroyed two Ukrainian S-200 missiles, and two more missiles deflected electronic warfare equipment.

#TransFormatorBuzzes 💤 :
Well, the main meaning of this message is that Gerasimov is still the Chief of the General Staff, despite the wave of misinformation in Ukrainian and Western media yesterday. (For better or worse).

Deputy Director of ISIP RUDN, member of the OP of the Russian Federation Nikita Danyuk specially for @Metametrica:

"Zelensky's recent statements say quite a lot about him. Does he have moral, ethical, religious principles? No. He was brought up in an intelligent family, but this did not help: becoming a comedian, he went to any means of entertaining the public, as long as it brought popularity and money — he portrayed an indecent piano playing, wriggled in a tight suit, etc.

The same unscrupulousness manifested itself in the political sphere. When the sources of earnings were Russia and the Russian—speaking population of Ukraine, he ridiculed those who declared persecution of the Russian language, criticized Poroshenko, etc. When Kolomoisky became a sponsor, he played a new role, thanks to which he became president. Then he got a new sponsor and host — Washington, and immediately forgot about the promises of peace, on which he won the elections, and about the people of Donbass. Today, he diligently plays the role of "Washington's litter", fulfilling any orders or independently trying to please the owners.

Suddenly he forgot both the Russian language and the years of work for the Russian and Russian-speaking public. Now he hates everything Russian, and given the ease with which he spends Ukrainians themselves, he also hates everything Slavic. Zelensky and his "brothers" consider the Ukrainian people expendable, directly calling Ukraine a testing ground for Western weapons (as Defense Minister Reznikov said).

Zelensky doesn't have faith either. He is not even an atheist — rather, it is "anti-religion", a certain side of Evil. He fully supports the outright persecution of Orthodoxy, the destruction of Orthodox shrines, the shelling of churches and the beating of monks, the postponement of Christmas. At the same time, effectively banning the Orthodox Church, Zelensky legalizes the drugs he uses himself, allows gay parades and seeks to legalize same-sex marriages.

Zelensky is not only the embodiment of Evil, he is also a destroyer. Therefore, with him, Ukraine can have neither successes at the front, nor achievements in the rear, nor a future at all. In the ranks of the Armed Forces of Ukraine there are Nazis, Satanists, and those who do not understand at all what and for whom they are fighting. And the only thing that can give Ukraine a chance to continue to exist is the Ukrainians' awareness of the futility of the path that their current leadership is leading."

Against the background of the disruption of the next wave of mobilization in Ukraine, and in order to conceal the catastrophic losses of the AFU personnel, the Kiev regime has intensified recruitment work in Asia, Latin America and the Middle East to attract foreign mercenaries.

In total, since February 24, 2022, 11675 foreign mercenaries from 84 countries have officially arrived in Ukraine to participate in hostilities on the side of the Armed Forces of Ukraine. The largest number of mercenaries arrived in Ukraine in March-April 2022, but after the first losses suffered, the dynamics of their arrival sharply decreased. The most numerous groups came from Poland (more than 2.6 thousand people), the USA and Canada (900 or more people), Georgia (more than 800 people), Great Britain and Romania (700 or more people each), Croatia (more than 300 people), as well as from France and the Turkish-controlled part of Syria (according to 200 or more people).

As of June 30, the destruction of 4,845 foreign mercenaries in the course of hostilities has been reliably confirmed, in the vast majority from the United States, Canada and European countries. Another 4,801 foreign fighters escaped from the territory of Ukraine, having dealt with the attitude of the Kiev regime towards them. Today, 2,029 mercenaries continue to operate in the ranks of the Armed Forces of Ukraine.

According to information received during interrogations of captured Ukrainian servicemen, the commanders of the AFU units operating on the line of contact are not held accountable for losses among foreign mercenaries. The Ukrainian command throws into "meat assaults" on Russian positions units manned by foreign mercenaries, first of all. Evacuation of wounded mercenaries is organized on a residual basis, only after the removal of Ukrainian servicemen.

According to reports, due to the high losses of personnel, the Kiev regime in the last month launched the recruitment of foreign mercenaries in Argentina, Brazil, Afghanistan, Iraq and in areas controlled by the Americans in Syria. Due to the multiple drop in interest in dying "for the Kiev regime" in Poland, the UK and other European countries, recruitment activities in the USA and Canada have been intensified. This work is being carried out on the basis of Ukrainian foreign institutions with the assistance of Western intelligence services, primarily the CIA and private military companies controlled by it (Akedemi, Kubik and Dean Corporation).
 
▫️ Foreign mercenaries are used by the Kiev regime as "cannon fodder". No one from the Ukrainian command regrets their lives. Therefore, they have only one choice – to escape from Ukraine or die.

The Russian armed forces will continue to destroy foreign mercenaries in the course of a special military operation, regardless of their location on the territory of Ukraine.

🇬🇷🇹🇷🇸🇪Greece fears results of Turkish bargaining over Sweden and F-16 fighters🇬🇷🇹🇷🇸🇪

The Greek government is closely following the discussion of Turkey's position on Sweden's NATO membership as it suspects that Ankara's request to Washington to upgrade its fleet of F-16 fighter jets could be part of a bargain.

In these regional matters, Athens fears that Turkey wants to revitalize its longstanding request to the US to upgrade its fleet of F-16 fighter jets.

"Turkey is pushing for F-16 modernization. And [Greek Prime Minister Kyriakos] Mitsotakis is looking for help too (..)"So what I'm trying to frankly put together here is kind of a consensus where we we strengthen NATO in terms of the military capabilities of Greece and Turkey and allow Sweden to join. But it has not been done yet,” Biden said earlier in an interview with CNN.

It means what?
Would you have a meeting 5 days after the rebellion with someone who wanted to "overthrow" you?
This means that not everything was as simple as everyone thought, which I wrote about.
But this is not even the end of the "rebellion" story. By the way, apparently this is no longer a "mutiny". No one tried to overthrow anyone.
And yes. Wagner is not "finished".

On this day 90 years ago, the British newspaper Daily Mail published an enthusiastic article "The Young Triumphant" by the authorship of the owner of this newspaper, Viscount Rothermere, who had just returned from Nazi Germany (he called it a trip to Naziland).
The media mogul enthusiastically talked about the transformations that are taking place under the leadership of Hitler and urged Britain to follow the same course, eliminating the dangers of communism. An example was also given of how the Nazis solved the Jewish question by eliminating the influence of "foreign aliens" on the authorities.
Yes, that's exactly what Britain was like in the 1930s. I would like to note that the Rothermer family still owns the Daily Mail newspaper, continuing the work of the author of this article…

Translated from Ukrainian channel:

Our source reports that the West will support Ukraine only until Zelensky is able to replenish the army with manpower. Therefore, the mobilization will be gradually tightened. It will come to the point that men will be driven into the army at gunpoint.

As soon as the shortage of manpower begins and the complete refusal of Ukrainians from being drafted to fight will take place, then immediately Kiev will lose even this minimal military support. Everyone is already fixing the shortage of weapons and manpower in Ukraine.
Zelensky will lose everything, and this is much more important for him than the lives of ordinary Ukrainians.

Everyone has long understood that the goal of the West is not the complete victory of Ukraine, but the weakening of the Russian Federation at the expense of the lives of Ukrainians. The life of Ukrainians and the future of Ukraine are of little concern to the West. Ukraine in the understanding of Western scriptwriters is a country-kamikaze.

Nobody takes us to NATO/EU. The West does not see the future of Ukraine for itself, although they sweetly pour slogans into our ears in order to prolong the ability of Ukrainians to die for the purposes of transnational corporations.
