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.

So we're officially down to human waves I guess.

According to an ukro channel the General Staff of the Armed Forces of Ukraine and the Office of the President are preparing a massive counteroffensive.
His goal is to achieve a significant breakthrough, at least on some section of the line of contact.

The task is to mobilize a hundred thousand, equip it somehow (it’s not even particularly important), let it massively break through in order to take it in quantity, because we don’t have much heavy equipment, artillery is also not particularly enough, there is still something left for aviation, as well as Bayraktars, but we cannot hold and break through the entire line.

Therefore, it was decided to accumulate forces and strike with massive manpower in one direction.

Therefore, Mikhail Podolyak is preparing society for great losses.

Subpoenas are now massively distributed, which are reported by local residents of Odessa, Kharkov, Dnipro, etc.

Along the Red Liman.

1. Now there are reports about the capture of the city, but there are no photos / videos yet. As well as official confirmations. So we just wait. According to Ukrainian sources, our troops took part of the city yesterday (the northwestern regions).

2. Regarding the statements about 500 prisoners in Krasny Liman. At the moment there are no photos / videos confirming the number of prisoners. Ukrainian sources confirm only heavy losses in the battles for Krasny Lyman. The prisoners are silent. No one has officially confirmed a large number of prisoners in our country.

3. The intensity of the battles for the city is evidenced by numerous fires that are recorded from space.
