Ukraine tells Canada not to return a key part for Russia's gas pipeline to Europe, report says

From Business Insider

In June, Russia cut 40% of its natural gas supplies to Germany because a turbine sent to Montreal for repairs is now stuck in Canada due to sanctions imposed by the Canadian government on Russia's oil and gas industry last month.

German economy minister Robert Habeck told Bloomberg: "I'll be the first one who will fight for a further strong EU sanction package, but strong sanctions means it must hurt and harm Russia and Putin more than it does our economy."
Habeck fears that if Canada continues to hold the key component to the pipeline, it would give an excuse for Putin to keep it closed after maintenance is completed.

Release the turbine could be controversial for Trudeau's government as Canada has the largest Ukrainian population outside of Russia.

Ukrainian nationalists spoiled the only well in Volcheyarovka by flooding it with diesel fuel.

“They asked where the well was. We showed them. We came the next day, they poured diesel fuel there. People don’t have water,” a resident of the LPR told Izvestia correspondent Daniil Levin. Together with her three-year-old son, she stayed in the village, which is constantly fired upon by the APU fighters.

According to the woman, the Ukrainian military offered her to evacuate only to Poland and western Ukraine, but she wanted to stay at home.

Unexpected!
After brutal shelling of Donbass for entire May-June Russia have finally supplied Tochka-U Missiles to DPR forces.
Tochka-U is Soviet era ballistic missile system, which was not used by Russian Army. However, there were reserves in deep conservation at military warehouses. Now they will have a go.

Biden worries that he looks like a fool wearing a helmet.
Well, it is not a helmet that makes the impression.🤦

Lithuania has expanded the list of restrictions on the transit of goods to Kaliningrad through its territory.

The updated list includes concrete, wood, alcohol and alcohol-based industrial chemicals. This was reported by representatives of the Lithuanian customs.

I am really curious about what would happen next?💤

Attention. Translated from an Ukrainian channel:

Our source reports that Zelensky's public statement demanding the de-occupation of the south of Ukraine is a "strike of last hope." An attempt to raise the morale of society and the army.
The reason is that earlier all our sources indicated that de-occupying these territories is virtually unrealistic.

Now the elite and locals in these territories have become disillusioned, starting to live a new life, cooperating with the Russians and establishing the functioning of control systems, slowly, but the Russians have stabilized the situation. Even the strategy of controlled terror launched by the SBU and the GUR with the blowing up of journalists, bloggers and officials did not stop this process (sometimes even caused a negative reaction in the perception of the Ukrainian world).

The source indicates that based on this, it was decided in the Office of President to make a loud public statement now. Everyone understands that such a statement will only complicate the implementation of the military scenario, because the Russian Federation is now concentrating forces there, and if the offensive and real success does not take place before September, then this can generate two critical messages in people's heads.
- means the Ukrainian Army has "lost".
- or the President lied and no one prepared anything and it was another PR move.

In conclusion, the source explained that with a massive counteroffensive, the losses of the Armed Forces of Ukraine in this sector would be huge. Also, the Armed Forces of Ukraine should outnumber the Russians by at least 2-3 times in manpower, be better equipped, and have more heavy weapons and artillery than the defenders. It should be understood that during the defence, the Russian Federation will have a huge advantage in aviation.

Perhaps this is a loud statement, an attempt by Zelensky to knock out more weapons and money in the West, which is now almost no longer given.

Translated from the same Ukrainian channel, published earlier, but proven by the current events (See below ⬇️)

Our source reports that the Main Intelligence Directorate and the Security Service of Ukraine reported to the Office of the President the information that the strategy of "controlled terror" in the territories of Ukraine, which are now controlled by the Russian Federation, will now be difficult to implement.
The Russians are strengthening police departments and "internal special forces", which will be sharpened to search for Ukrainian DRGs who have carried out deadly bombings of journalists, bloggers, and officials.
It is also known that the Russians were given the task not to take the DRG and demolitionists prisoner.

The source adds that the Office of the President demands that this strategy be continued at any cost, so that the Russians would not be able to stabilize this region, making life better and calmer there than in the territories controlled by Ukraine. Everyone understands that Kherson cannot be taken by military means, so bombings, murders of journalists, bloggers, cultural figures, businessmen and local officials, as well as explosions of infrastructure facilities are the only trump card of the Office of the President and the SBU / GUR.

Alas, there are no rules in this war, and the degree of hatred is growing.

And that is the confirmation of the above written ⬆️

It is not a surprise that Kiev regime is supported by US by all means - including provision of satellite intelligence:

US gives Kyiv coordinates for attacks on Russia
11.07.2022 - 8:00

American intelligence supplies Ukrainian colleagues with radar data, as well as satellite images, including Russian territory, which is then subjected to rocket and artillery attacks on civilians, a member of the Russian hacker group RaHDIt told RIA Novosti on condition of anonymity.

Recall that on the night of July 3, Ukrainian troops attacked Belgorod with three Tochka-U missiles with cluster warheads. Russian air defence systems destroyed all three missiles in the air, but as a result of the defeat of Ukrainian missiles, fragments of one of them fell on a residential building. According to the Investigative Committee of the Russian Federation, three people were killed, two were missing, including one child.

“We know for certain that American intelligence supplies Ukrainian intelligence with satellite images, radar data, including satellite images of Russian territory, where Ukrainian missiles and shells then, in fact, arrive.

The fact that their radar detection systems work in the interests of Ukrainian intelligence, we also see this, ”said the RaHDIt hacker.

According to him, in order to "deliver such strikes, one must have accurate information, the location of the targets on which they are delivered."

More about use of HIMARS and satellite intelligence info from Ukrainian channel, specialising on the "leaks" from Ukrainian Presidential Office, supporting info from hackers:

Our source reports that the West is not interested in transferring new types of weapons to Ukraine. Only Soviet samples will continue to be transferred to Ukraine, which will be bought from other countries from warehouses.
The source explained that HIMARS were sent to Ukraine for only one reason, for pinpoint strikes and PR, to pump this installation up in the media and force NATO countries and other countries to buy them in bulk. The Americans were inspired by the PR strategy of the Bayraktars, who made a great hype at the beginning of the Ukrainian crisis, raising their own price and recognition. (Now there are no trendy videos, due to the large number of air defence systems). The Russians adjusted and solved this problem.

HIMARS are now doing their job because of the strategy that Western analysts have developed. First, several packages of the Soviet MLRS are fired at the object in the Russian rear, at the same moment Tochka-U will be launched, as a cover, and then the American HIMARS flies out, so most of them hit the target, because the DPR does not have such an amount of air defence to intercept all targets simultaneously.

Also, the mistake of the DPR is the centralized storage of ammunition in warehouses, which does a great service to the Armed Forces of Ukraine. For example, the Ukrainian General Staff has long been using a decentralized strategy, where there are hundreds of small warehouses that can even be located in a grocery store or basements of state civilian buildings.

The source indicates that now the Russians are already beginning to saturate the air defence systems in the rear, which they have not done before, and if they were, then a very small number that could not quickly cope with such strikes.
Consequently, the effectiveness of HIMARS may soon decrease, but the initial PR is important for the Western lobby, and then everything will be attributed to some other reason.

As the source said in conclusion, Ukraine now is one continuous military training ground.
