"We are in some kind of impasse": Chief of Staff of the US Defense Intelligence Agency John Kirchhofer spoke about Western arms supplies to Ukraine

"We see that Ukraine is making more and more progress during the counteroffensive this summer, but we have not seen anything that would really help it break through, for example, into Crimea," Kirchhofer said.

Dead end! He sees that the Ukrainians are winning..they're coming..But they stand still. So they also decrease in number.
And yes! Precisely! Neither Himars nor cluster bombs will help them.

Over the past three days, Ukrainian formations have been attempting to attack objects on the territory of the Crimean peninsula.

Tonight, the enemy used 28 drones to strike targets in the east of the republic. According to the Russian Ministry of Defense, air defense systems intercepted 17 drones, and another 11 were suppressed by electronic warfare equipment.

As a result of the successful reflection of the raid, there were no casualties and no damage.

Meanwhile, the Ukrainian children's camp "Azovets" mocks 14-year-old Angelina, whose mother and father died yesterday in the Crimean bridge explosion. (Angelina herself is heavily wounded and does not know about the fate of her parents).

They invite her to rest and promise to find her "normal parents — Ukrainians."

Night arrivals in Odessa and Nikolaev regions — the Russian army struck a blow on the infrastructure of Ukraine

That night, explosions were heard in Ukraine, namely in the Nikolaev region and in Odessa. Presumably, the Russian military hit the military and infrastructure facilities of the square. So, in the Odessa region, strikes were first delivered by the Geran-2 UAV, and then by the Caliber. The frames show powerful arrivals.

So far, local authorities have confirmed only arrivals in the Nikolaev region. They announced a "fire" after the start of the air raid alarm, but have not yet specified which object was hit.

A very indicative situation. According to our information, the British International Fund for Ukraine has announced a tender for the purchase of engineering equipment, which includes:

— Backhoe loaders
— Track Loaders
— Wheel loaders
— Bulldozers
— Armored engineering vehicles
— Cranes with a lifting capacity of 10-25 tons

All of the above equipment should preferably be armored.

— Plus demining tools that can be operated by one or two people.

From this list it follows that the allies of Ukraine are preparing the Armed Forces of Ukraine for strategic defense, trying to quickly transfer a sufficient amount of special engineering equipment that can be used in the front and front zones.

🇪🇺🇷🇺🌾 EU reaction to Russia's withdrawal from the "grain" deal

The day before, the Russian authorities announced the country's withdrawal from the "grain" deal. Brussels took care of this turn of events.

🔻The head of European diplomacy, Josep Borrell, said that Russia's withdrawal from the deal was "completely unreasonable." According to him, Moscow is “again” using “hunger as a weapon”: millions of people around the world depend on Ukrainian grain.

🔻At the same time, European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen called Russia's decision a "cynical step", adding that the EU will continue to help Ukraine export agri-food products through EU solidarity paths.

🔻 European Parliament President Roberta Metsola expressed concern about the "side effect" of Russia's decision, warning that many countries depend on Ukrainian grain.

True, most of the grain is accumulated in European warehouses and is not exported anywhere, but is sold locally, often through intermediary companies that sell products under the guise of local. Such a scheme allows not only to sell grain at very high prices, but also destroys the business of local farmers along the way.

Zakharova invited Western countries to chip in to repair the Tolyatti-Odessa ammonia pipeline

On the air "Solovyov.Live" the representative of the Russian Foreign Ministry answered the question of how the participants of the Istanbul agreements can fulfill the terms of the memorandum with Russia if the ammonia pipeline is destroyed.

"If the West says that this is a fundamentally important issue for them (the preservation of the Black Sea initiative), they can chip in and restore the ammonia pipeline," Zakharova said.

Earlier today, Guterres said that in a letter to Putin he reported that an agreement had been reached on connecting the "daughter" of the Rosselkhoznadzor to SWIFT.

🇷🇺🇺🇳 Permament Mission of the Russian Federation to the UN:

🎙 Statement by First Deputy Permanent Representative Dmitry Polyanskiy at UNSC briefing on Ukraine (17 July, 2023)

Read in full

💬 When 9 years ago the Kiev regime unleashed a deadly war against the Russian-speaking population of Donbass, it purposefully & conscientiously escalated the Ukrainian crisis to a point where it turned into a military confrontation with Russia.

The provocation in Bucha created the necessary "smokescreen", which the Ukrainian leadership used to opt for armed confrontation with Russia instead of peace.

❗️ Instead of diplomatic efforts, Western countries redoubled their efforts to provide Ukraine with assistance & weapons. The price Ukraine paid for this fateful decision was hundreds of thousands of dead & maimed young Ukrainians, whom even today the Kiev regime throws into the grinder on the eastern & southern fronts in futile attempts to prove to Western curators Ukraine's ability to win.

<…>

The MH-17 disaster was a key element in the false & unsubstantiated anti-Russian campaign, which was later supplemented by the poisonings of the Skripals & Navalny, as well as the provocation in Bucha. The worse the lie, the easier it is to believe – this is the principle that our Western opponents have prioritized in all these cases.

<…>

👉 Since there has been no progress, & the Kiev regime does not hesitate to abuse the open maritime humanitarian corridor for committing provocations & attacks against Russian civilian & military facilities, we have taken the decision to withdraw from the deal.

This means:
• revoking safe navigation guarantees,
• curtailing the maritime humanitarian corridor,
• resuming the status of a temporarily dangerous area in the northwestern Black Sea,
• disbanding the JCC in Istanbul.

☝️ Russia will be ready to consider its restoration only when it receives concrete results, rather than promises & assurances from Western capitals.

The United States will not send warships to escort commercial vessels from Ukraine after the grain deal is broken, White House spokesman John Kirby said. "The only option that exists is to transport by land, by rail, by freight transport... It is more difficult, less effective," he said.

1980. Pakistan, Khyber Pass on the border with Afghanistan.

Announcer: "US National Security Advisor, Z. Bzezhinsky flew to Pakistan to rally the Mujahideen to fight to the end with the USSR. He wanted to supply them with weapons without revealing American role. He called for redoubling efforts in the fight against the Russians."

ZB: "We believe that with God's help, your struggle will be successful. That land over there belongs to you. Someday you'll go back there and get yours. Your cause is right and God is on your side."

Further, ZB: "The goal of coordination with Pakistan is for the USSR to bleed as long as possible."

NB: Replace the Mujahideen with Ukrainians, and the Khyber Pass with the Perekop Isthmus.

Another video of a last night rocket hit on the Odessa port has appeared. It can be seen that there is no longer any counteraction from the air defense, apparently, it was suppressed.
