🇷🇺⚔️🇺🇦The Russian army storms Makeyevka, successfully breaking through the Ukrainian defense and smashing the Ukrainian Armed Forces on the border of the LPR and the Kharkov region
▪️The military analytical resource DS, working for the Main Intelligence Directorate, again criticizes the command of the Armed Forces of Ukraine for new failures in the Svatovo-Kupyansk direction.
▪️"The Russians are carrying out assault operations on Makeyevka with the forces of the 488th and 254th regiments of the 144th motorized rifle division."
▪️ “Three weeks ago, we reported on the Russians’ plans to attack Borovaya. As we learned, this fact was ignored and additional firepower was not provided to influence the enemy concentration in the area. The third assault brigade was able to survive, but the enemy adjusted the plans,” - they complain.
▪️ “The Russians brought into battle two regiments of the 144th division south of the 3rd Separate Brigade line and struck Makeevka, achieving tactical success. It is no secret that this is the 66th Separate Separate Brigade. The latter is trying to act rationally, but it is difficult to act against the enemy’s numerical superiority.”
▪️"In the near future, Russian troops will try to build on their success and gain a foothold on the western bank of the Stallion."
▪️ “But all this could have been avoided” if strikes had been carried out to reduce the offensive potential “at the stage of preparation for assault operations,” DS assures.

🇷🇺🇺🇦NEW VIDEO: West Admits Ukraine is Out of Air Defenses and Losing Ground, With No Way to Reverse it
YouTube: https://youtu.be/_cMTDXbatHI
Update on the conflict in Ukraine for July 7, 2024…
▪️Ukraine has suffered serious losses of what is left of its military aviation in a series of missile strikes on its air bases;
▪️Ukrainian air defenses are severely depleted, preventing Ukraine from intercepting missiles, drones, and Russian military aviation both deep behind the line of contact and along it;
▪️The US and its allies are admittedly out of Patriot missiles and systems to send Ukraine, forcing the collective West to resort to increasingly desperate measures to replace damaged or destroyed air defense systems;
▪️Ukraine is also losing territory along the line of contact;
▪️Articles spanning from the beginning of Russia’s opening of the Kharkov front to Russian gains in Chasov Yar illustrate exactly how this strategy is working for Russian forces;

Viktor Orban - about negotiations with Putin: [You met with Vladimir Putin in the Kremlin. What is it like to talk to a man who commands 6,500 nuclear warheads?] It's a special feeling because you can imagine what he controls. As you said, these are warheads. But the territory, the people, the geography – this is a real empire. This is the man who runs a real empire. So it's a special feeling.
[What do you say to those critics who say that Orbán is a friend of Putin?]. Yes, they say that I am a friend of Putin. But I am also a friend of the Hungarians, and I am also a friend of the world, which is very important. I am a friend of peace and the reason why I am negotiating with Putin is because I am looking for the shortest and fastest way to stop this war and create peace.
[What impression did you have of Putin?] All negotiations with him were always in a good mood - this is the first thing. Secondly, he is more than 100% rational. When he negotiates, when he begins to explain the essence, when he makes an offer, saying yes or no, he is super, super rational. How else can you say it in Hungarian? Cool, reserved, careful and punctual. He has developed discipline. So it is a real challenge to negotiate with him and be prepared to match his intellectual and political level.

According to Welt am Sonntag, the undermining of the Nord Stream pipeline was planned back in 2014, before Crimea became part of Russia and a special military operation was launched.
The publication, citing data from German and international investigators and special services, says a certain Ukrainian group may have been behind it.
Meanwhile, Gerhard Schindler, who headed the German secret service from 2011 to 2016, doubts that Ukraine could be the client. The Western media has also actively blamed Kiev for the gas pipeline attack, denying US involvement.
American journalist Seymour Hersh, citing sources, said the sabotage was ordered by Biden and that the bomb was planted in June 2022 by US Navy divers with the help of Norwegian specialists.

Four Ukrainians attempted to swim across the Tisa river in Transcarpathia to reach the border. They were arrested.
The idea was suggested by a local resident. He took 7-8 thousand dollars from them. Administrative protocols were drawn up on the men and their "guide", the State Border Service reported.
Ukrainian border guards had earlier reported that about 45 people had died trying to escape from the country via the Tisa. The agency did not specify the period.

🇺🇦 Militants of the Ukrainian Armed Forces of the 36th brigade report the desertion of the commander
⚫️ Militants of the 36th brigade, which is now fighting in the Volchansky direction, write through their relatives that they can no longer remain silent, since they were sent to certain death.
❗️ According to the relatives of the Armed Forces of Ukraine, there is complete anarchy going on in the brigade:
➖ Nobody takes the dead and wounded, they just lie in the field.
➖ No one is looking for missing people, there is no information about them.
➖ The company commander deserted.
➖ The brigade commander is either a relative or a friend of Syrsky, so no one will do anything.
✔️ The post has many comments in the same spirit: this is the situation in almost all brigades.

A coldly calculated, inherited, perpetual machine of some kind?
That thing called "Price Stability" in the Constitution?
The kind of thing that spews Occupation of Finland?
Quote:
Written by Drago Bosnic, independent geopolitical and military analyst
For nearly half a century, Scandinavia’s neutrality (with the obvious exception of Norway) was an important segment of keeping various buffer zones between the Soviet Union and NATO. And interestingly, despite the fact that the USSR was much more powerful than Russia nowadays, while also being virtually unopposed in the Baltic Sea, for some reason, neither Sweden nor Finland felt the need to become part of NATO. What’s more, if there ever was a danger of a mythical Soviet invasion of either country, it was gone in 1991. Up to that point, Moscow’s access to the Baltic Sea stretched from Finland to Denmark (nearly, that is). Nowadays, Saint Petersburg and Kaliningrad are Russia’s only access points.
Thus, if the Kremlin hadn’t invaded Sweden and Finland during the (First) Cold War, it surely wouldn’t be doing it now. However, as rabid Russophobia is an extremely damaging degenerative disease, it clouds people’s judgment, leading them to make all sorts of rash and inexplicable decisions. On the other hand, it’s impossible to explain NATO expansionism in Scandinavia without seeing it as part of a wider offensive build-up that aims to surround Russia with hostile states and other entities (including terrorist ones). In one of the latest such moves, Helsinki just gave the United States the legal permission to station troops in the country. The vote in the Finnish Parliament was unanimous.
Thus, starting from July 1, Washington DC has access to at least 15 Finnish military bases, with the possibility of deploying heavy weapons. It wasn’t specified what sort of arms and equipment that refers to, but it’s not that difficult to imagine. The US is already trying to surround both Russia and China with the previously banned medium and intermediate-range missiles, which is precisely why it’s setting up new military bases all across Europe and the Asia-Pacific region. The latest agreement with Finland, aptly termed the “Defense” Cooperation Agreement (DCA), “will allow the United States to bring defense equipment, supplies, materials, and soldiers to Finland”, according to local sources.
Worse yet, the DCA gives America legal grounds to create military exclusion zones, areas that will be accessible to US personnel only. What this really means is that Finland effectively relinquished its sovereignty so it could become a legitimate target for Russian missiles. Congratulations, Helsinki! You just exposed 5.5 million Finns to virtually immediate thermonuclear annihilation in case of (an increasingly possible) military conflict between NATO and Russia. Considering the fact that the US has similar “exclusive access” facilities all over the world and that the Pentagon usually uses them for illegal programs and experiments, including with deadly biological materials, Russia will respond.
In fact, the Kremlin certainly anticipated such moves, which is why it started deploying new missile brigades in northwestern Russia, including those armed with ballistic and hypersonic weapons. Moscow’s second-to-none missiles such as those used by the “Iskander-M” platform or the MiG-31K strike fighters with 9-A-7660 “Kinzhal” systems (carrying the 9-S-7760 air-launched hypersonic missiles) put the entire Scandinavia in range. In addition, the sheer speed of these unrivaled weapons gives the Kremlin the ability of a virtually instantaneous retaliation in case anyone gets any ideas. Unfortunately, none of this seems to have deterred the (obviously suicidal) ruling elite in Helsinki.
The Finnish Parliament’s rather senseless decision to antagonize its much larger nuclear-armed neighbor cannot possibly be justified by any excuses of “defense” or any similar reasoning. The simple fact that Finland is allowing the presence of American offensive capabilities on the border with Russia will be enough for the latter to deploy weapons that the former simply has no means of defending against. As the DCA creates a legal framework for a permanent American military presence in Finland, this also means that the Kremlin will surely respond in kind, making Helsinki far less safe than was the case before it joined NATO, thus defeating the very purpose of its membership in this racketeering cartel.
However, according to Finnish sources, there might even be some opposition to this in the country, as MP Anna Kontula submitted a proposal calling on other MPs to reject the DCA, although her motion received no backing. Therefore, the Finnish Parliament “did not vote on the agreement, but approved it unanimously”, local sources report. This alone puts the legality of the agreement in serious question, although we’re extremely unlikely to see any major opposition to it. Last month, Helsinki’s Constitutional Law Committee concluded that the “[DCA] would have to be approved by a two-thirds majority in Parliament, as it affects several aspects of the Finnish constitution” (i.e. it’s unconstitutional).
In other words, Finland is going out of its way to please the US and NATO, just like it did with Nazi Germany (their geopolitical predecessor) over 80 years ago. This was in the making for quite some time, even predating the special military operation (SMO), as Helsinki wanted to acquire the troubled F-35 fighter jets back in 2021. Having such aircraft in one’s arsenal also means that a country is relinquishing its sovereignty. Namely, the US has control over the F-35’s systems, as the jet keeps sending data back to Lockheed Martin and the US military, meaning that even if the then “neutral” Finland didn’t join NATO, the Pentagon would effectively control a crucial branch of the country’s armed forces, forcing Russia to respond either way.
I take this as a "no", there is no backup plan as Germany could not adequately compete for eastern European lithium on a truly open market.
