"Why did you leave me for so long?" Former serviceman of the Armed Forces of Ukraine Nadezhda Simonova met with her husband in Russia

Nadezhda told her husband that everything was fine with his family and friends, and also shared a story about how their command wanted to deal with those who were taken prisoner.

“At all checkpoints, there was an order to shoot at your blue car. They didn’t care that you were sitting there,” Nadezhda said.

During an interview with Denis Shcherbakov, he spoke about his history. The prisoner of war added that his command made money on ordinary Ukrainians.

“Guys from the 37th battalion and young girls aged 23 who were sent away. And then I found out that out of 140 people from the 37th battalion, no one was left alive. Our command never taught us anything, they just send them for meat,” the prisoner of war Denis Shcherbakov (56th OMPRB AFU) said.

In the last video, he urges his colleagues to no longer fight for the country that betrays them.

Burned out ammo depot in Slavyansk.

I’m posting these so everyone can see that the Ukrainians are taking much heavier ammunition loses and heavier loses in every sector. The only area the Ukrainians are beating the Russians is in the PR game. A very important aspect but the foley of the Ukrainian government who is solely focused on it’s one success.

Picture form the NYT.

The remains of the soldiers of the SS division "Galichyna"/"Halichyna" were reburied in Zolochiv Oblast in Western Ukraine.

On July 28, 2019, at the Memorial Cemetery of the soldiers of the First Ukrainian Division "Halychyna" in the village of Chervone of the Zolochiv district, memorial events were held for the reburial of the remains of divisional soldiers who died during the battles near Brody during the Second World War.

29 soldiers whose remains were found were reburied with military honours.

I will make it clear - Division SS. No fascism in Ukraine, especially Western Ukraine...

Donald Trump's former national security adviser John Bolton admitted to CNN that he was involved in organizing coups d'état in other countries.

During the conversation, the journalist recalled the storming of the Capitol last year by Trump supporters and suggested that "you do not need to have a brilliant mind" to prepare.

Bolton replied, "As someone who has helped plan coups—not here, but in other parts of the world—I disagree. It takes a lot of work." In which countries the US carried out coup d'état, he did not specify.

However, the Russian Foreign Ministry noted that officials had not spoken about this before: "this requires a reaction and analysis."

Eva, daughter of the regiment. Russian soldiers bring back the girl's childhood stolen by the Ukrainian army.
«My dear Russian soldiers» - that's what Eva calls Russian sappers. They are taking care of this lovely child, who recognized them as friends and defenders at first sight. Such a status can only be earned by actions and deeds, and the sappers have done a lot to revive peaceful life in Ukrainian territory liberated from the Nazis.

Financial Times: Nato and EU sound alarm over risk of Ukraine weapons smuggling

Nato and EU states are pushing for better tracking of weapons supplied to Ukraine in response to fears that criminal groups are smuggling them out of the country and on to Europe’s black market.

Since Russia launched its war against Ukraine, western states have pledged more than $10bn in military support, from portable rocket launchers and armoured vehicles to rifles and vast amounts of ammunition.

“All these weapons land in southern Poland, get shipped to the border and then are just divided up into vehicles to cross: trucks, vans, sometimes private cars,” said one of the western officials. “And from that moment we go blank on their location and we have no idea where they go, where they are used or even if they stay in the country.”

A new benefit for Russia from anti-Russian sanctions 😎

Following Saudi Arabia and the UAE, another oil-producing country is going to buy Russian oil products. Brazilian President Jair Bolsonaro said that his country is close to concluding a contract with Russia for the purchase of diesel fuel, which will be much cheaper than it costs them now.

Western sanctions against Russia have created unique conditions for all countries that do not adhere to them. And if India and China simply buy Russian oil, gas and coal at a discount, which allows them to gain a competitive advantage in the form of lower production costs of their goods, then oil-producing countries win twice.

Firstly, they receive cheaper petroleum products, and secondly, they can sell their oil in full to the very countries of the collective West that have abandoned Russian oil. Sanctions certainly work, but clearly not in the way their initiators expected. 😜

🇩🇪"A shot in the leg" has been announced.

Germany will completely stop buying Russian coal on August 1, and from December 31 it will also abandon Russian oil, the assistant to the German Chancellor for Economic Affairs said.

Jorg Kukis noted that the plans also include the search for solutions to abandon Russian gas.

The bills for sanctions will grow.
