Catching lunch. Looks like a fisherman's dream

They actually held out for Eurovision.

(screaming) (window breaking)

All I can do is shake my head in disbelief. The Kiev regime is some kind of kindergarten at the edge of an abyss. I mean, whatever, they can lie however much they want—it’s war, after all, and though lying works against you, eventually, it’s not verboten. But why make fools of themselves in the process?

“The office of the President asked the defenders [of Azovstal] to hold out for the last few days so that we could win Eurovision and raise this topic in front of the West, after which the process of surrender began.”

@Rezident_UA claims: “The Russian troops in Mariupol knew about the situation at Azovstal, that there was a minimum of food, there was no water and the BC was running out, as well as about the psychological state of the fighters, who were covered every day with constant bombardments and artillery strikes. The days before the complete capture of the plant were numbered, resistance was minimal, and the cleanup of one of the two main workshops had already begun. The office of the President asked the defenders to hold out for the last few days so that we could win Eurovision and raise this topic in front of the West, after which the process of surrender began. Telegram channels belonging to Vova Petrov’s network began to write to the propagandist that all this was staged and no one would give up. None of the LOMs close to Bankova was informed so that the information would be airtight. Negotiations with Putin were mediated by Erdogan and were not completed at the time of the surrender of the defenders of Azovstal, this is the reason for the silence of the President and the speakers of the Presidential Office, who do not understand how the case with the exchange of prisoners will be implemented.”

Odd phrasing considering the allied forces are here the Russians and DPR/LNR. Does this mean the Russians have already taken Soledar?

There are reports of artillery shelling of Avdeevka and the entry of units of the 1st Slavic brigade of the NM DPR into urban areas.

My theory about the Russians deliberately attacking around the front in sequence may be more true than I thought if they're seriously pushing on Avdiika now.

Looks like 90-95% casualties in this formation.

All that's left of three companies...

14th brigade, 6th battalion, 4,5,6 companies.

1 company according to ukro site is 18-200 people.

Christ, I'm getting to the point I can read Cyrillic now.

Reports coming in the Russians are pushing into the city center of Liman and that the Ukrainian garrison is beginning to surrender en masse.

The fact this is happening in Madrid is quite ironic.

Ukrainian "Refugees" in Madrid have set up a tattoo "studio" in an old abandoned garage where other fellow Ukranian "patriots" can get the "memory" of the war with ink on their skins.
Spoiler, there are Nazi tattoos, but in this piece of propaganda from the Western Spanish Media they call it "devotion for Ukraine" and "Slavic symbols"

Better watch out Russia, we're giving the Ukrainians M119s lol.

⚡️Thirty New Zealand Defence Force members fly to the UK to teach the Ukrainian artillerymen to use the 105-mm L119 howitzers - said Prime Minister Jacinda Ardern. The instructors will be in the UK until the end of July and, during this time, will train 230 Ukrainian soldiers.

The instructors will be in the UK until the end of July and, during this time, will train 230 Ukrainian soldiers. Air Marshal Kevin Short, Chief of Defence Force, specified that each crew would need a week to master the equipment.
