🇺🇲🇺🇦🇷🇺 Ukrainian troops meet stiff resistance and suffer casualties while advancing on Russian positions - CNN.
"Ukrainian forces have suffered losses in heavy equipment and soldiers as they met more than expected resistance from Russian troops in their first attempt to break through Russian defense lines in the country's east in recent days," CNN wrote, citing unnamed senior US officials.
Attention is focused on the significant losses of American armored vehicles of the MRAP class.
Both U.S. officials say the losses are not expected to affect the larger planned Ukrainian counteroffensive. US and Western officials have long expected that the counteroffensive would take time and put Ukrainian personnel and equipment, including Western-supplied systems, at high risk.

🇦🇹 🇭🇺 🇷🇺 "Watch out Ukraine, here comes the Hungaro-Austrian Empire
Pro-Russian politicians in the vein of Hungary’s Viktor Orbán are on the rise in Austria and Slovakia.
Kickl’s far-right Freedom Party has been leading the country’s national polls by several points since November as soaring inflation and a sharp increase in asylum applications fuel discontent with the current government, a coalition between the center-right Austrian People’s Party and the Greens. With the other main opposition party, the Social Democrats, plagued by infighting, Kickl’s party has the best chance in years to seize power.
That would spell major trouble for the European Union, which is already struggling to cope with Hungary, where nationalist Prime Minister Viktor Orbán has systematically taken control of all major levers of power and undermined independent media, transforming the country into what critics see as a semi-authoritarian state in the middle of the EU.
Austria isn’t the only country in the region susceptible to Orbánism. Neighboring Slovakia is also teetering on the brink of a populist revival. The pro-Russian Smer-SD — whose leader, former Prime Minister Robert Fico, was forced out of office in 2018 amid a wave of popular protests triggered by the brutal murder of an investigative reporter and his fiancée — is leading the polls ahead of a snap election set for September. Fico has vowed to end Slovakia’s military support for neighboring Ukraine, if elected.
European officials warn that wins by pro-Russian forces in Slovakia and Austria would hand Russian President Vladimir Putin a powerful tool against Ukraine, making it easier for him to undermine sanctions and EU efforts to assist Ukraine.
“It would be a disaster,” a senior Commission official from the region said bluntly."

🇷🇺🇺🇦 The enemy has not yet thrown tank wedges into battle: a serious threat of a powerful offensive of the Armed Forces of Ukraine remains
This was stated by Dmitry Rogozin, who is at the front with a group of military advisers.
“I do not share the joyful reports about the “defeat of the enemy”.
Yes, we repulsed the first attack. Yes, well done. But the enemy has not yet introduced the main forces of the breakthrough, primarily large tank wedges, has not driven them into our forward positions. And they are only in the vicinity of Orekhov in the most tank-dangerous direction - about 600 tanks of the Armed Forces of Ukraine, not counting the infantry fighting vehicles.
Therefore, it is too early to rejoice, gentlemen. First, let's win, and only then we will "throw caps into the air."

🇺🇦 Meanwhile, from Kharkov, Zaporozhye, Dnepropetrovsk, information is coming in about the rapid overflow of hospitals with the wounded. Volunteer groups are begging people to come donate blood, because the flow of these very wounded is only increasing so far (this is from all directions at once).
🇷🇺🇺🇦 Sladkov about the Zaporozhye Front at 05:00 Moscow time:
The situation is unchanged. The front line is behind us. The enemy is unable to break through. There are fights.
