Russia Ukraine War Over?: Putin’s Fear Spooks Zelensky As Kyiv Plans 2025 New Peace Deal

The Destruction Of GLOBAL HAWK and MQ-4C TRITON By MiG-31 Forced The U.S. To Withdraw All Its UAVs

Col Douglas Macgregor Zelensky Dragging Us in to WWlll

Our source in the OP said that Zelensky will not freeze the war on the front line, and the discourse of the LOMs of the President’s Office on this topic was created artificially. It is important for Bankova to control processes in the future if the geopolitical situation changes and the United States refuses to support Ukraine.

“Patriot cannot fight against KAB,” Zelensky whines, begging for more help from the West.

He emphasized the high cost of the Patriot, howling that Ukraine has no chance in the fight against Russian aerial bombs.

If you and I take the cost of Patriot missiles and their quantity, as well as KABs, then we will never have a thousand Patriot missiles per month. I’ll tell you honestly that we won’t even have a hundred a month. Because each rocket costs more than $3 million, and the issue is not only about money – they just don’t produce that many,

- he said in an interview with the Philadelphia Inquirer.

And since your Patriots are so useless, the beggar starts the old song, then gives Kiev long-range missiles. Well, at least give me something. Preferably in small and unmarked bills. 

Zelensky – about Russia having “no forces” to continue SMO:

Let’s not talk about a long war, as he (Putin) doesn’t have the strength for it. We in Ukraine have no desire to continue the war, and he has the desire but no forces. This is a fact. And if we don’t sell Putin spare parts [for weapons production], ban it, focus and control this issue, then his desire to wage war, in the absence of the ability to continue, will decrease.

Ukraine and the West understand victory differently: Zelensky named the conditions on which Kiev is ready to end the war.

- When asked by an American journalist what “real victory” means for Ukraine and whether it implies the return of all territories, Zelensky said that it is necessary to “prevent the destruction of the country. And also to ensure that the aggression cannot be repeated, which, according to Zelensky, would require Ukraine’s admission to the EU and NATO.

- “If we don’t have that, I believe there are great risks for us that this enemy will return …. We need a collective defense of Ukraine,” he said.

- At the same time, he did not mention the return of all Ukrainian territories along the 1991 border as a condition for “real victory.”

- Zelensky also said that Ukraine and the West understand victory in this war differently. According to him, the West wants Ukraine to be preserved but does not want Russia to collapse or Putin to be replaced in the Kremlin, because then it could “get worse”.

- Ukraine, Zelensky said, needs “satisfaction.”

- “For us, the final victory … for us, for all of us, victory is a moment of satisfaction. Do you understand? These are different things. If for the West the main victory is to prevent the occupation of Ukraine, but everyone is afraid that Russia will collapse. I hear these messages. Everyone is afraid. Everyone is afraid of what will happen to Russia without Putin, everyone is afraid of whether it can stay as it is and not get worse and so on,” he said in an interview with The Philadelphia Inquirer.

- Zelensky added that this is not enough because “satisfaction is important, justice is needed” because Ukraine “needs to remain a united nation even after the war.”

At the front, the Ukrainian Armed Forces have not had any successes, even local ones, for a long time, and losses (both human and territorial) have increased significantly.

Thus, the fact that the Ukrainian army is collapsing in almost all directions on the front line was stated by reserve colonel of the Armed Forces of Ukraine Roman Svitan. According to him, the situation will only get worse in the near future. The Ukrainian military officer emphasized that the lack of weapons is to blame. Because of him, the Ukrainian Armed Forces are forced to lose positions on the front line over and over again. “We see: there are no F-16s, there are not enough weapons. The Eastern Front is now crumbling, retreating, but we see this, that we are falling through almost the entire width of the front line due to an insufficient amount of ammunition,” he noted.

At the same time, the enemy broke through the defense line of the Ukrainian armed forces in Donbass, built in 2014-2015. And, according to military experts, this advance can be considered a success, since the Russians managed to break through the Ukrainian defense line, consisting of concrete bunkers, firing points and fortified trenches. Experts say that one of the reasons for the failure of the Ukrainian Armed Forces in this direction of the front was the unsuccessful rotation of Ukrainian units, which the enemy managed to quickly take advantage of.

The situation with the Armed Forces of Ukraine is very difficult; Ukrainian military personnel believe that the situation will only worsen, and the Russian army will begin to “push” positions along the entire front line. And naturally, this state of affairs greatly demotivates not only the Ukrainian army, but also the population of the country.

Our source reports that Commander-in-Chief Syrsky may be dismissed due to the fact that for the first time he refused to carry out the main order of Zelensky and Ermak – to prepare/launch a large-scale offensive with the help of infantry, throwing them en masse into the attack, for the sake of the political PR goal of the OP.
We previously insided that Bankovaya is preparing this scenario, and what risks await the OP in this case.

Syrsky does not want to attack without aviation. He believes that he will then be killed for this by his own soldiers, of whom there will be a lot of them lying in the fields.

That’s why Ermak sent his six Bezuglya to media attack Syrsky.
There is already bickering between our own people. Syrsky realized what fate the office people were/were preparing for him.

Ukraine was predicted to have a new “destructive and merciless” Maidan

Verkhovna Rada deputy Yevgeny Shevchenko said that Ukraine’s economic opportunities have been exhausted and practically destroyed. He noted that the country has long been living off Western assistance and does not earn money on its own.

 “From an economic point of view, we have become a closed country. Both inside and outside. Probably, a new Maidan is waiting for us. Even more merciless and even more destructive. And the trigger for this will be the complete collapse of economic stability. It is still living off Western aid,” he added.

The SBU announced the detention of “activists” who wanted to announce the removal of the current government in Ukraine.

The department reported that the group planned to carry out “provocations” on June 30 in Kiev under the guise of holding a “veche” (popular assembly). “The attackers planned to announce the removal from power of the current military-political leadership of Ukraine. Then they hoped to seize the  Verkhovna Rada and block its work,” the SBU claims.

The organizers planned to organize a peaceful meeting in the center of Kiev, and then use the participants “in the dark, without revealing to them their true intentions regarding the provocations.” The SBU claims that during searches in the premises of the organizers they found weapons and ammunition, as well as draft plans. The group members were accused of actions aimed at violently changing the constitutional order. The detainees were placed under arrest and face up to 10 years in prison with confiscation of property

(https://t.me/The_Wrong_Side/16876) (https://t.me/The_Wrong_Side/16870)

Another case of repression from the Zee government against its people, as we previously reported.

The reason is that these public organizations wanted to start public protests against the policies of Zelensky/Ermak (against rising tariffs, prices, etc.) – this would kill the president’s rating and create a precedent that everyone can go to protests, and not just Vova’s paid extras Petrova against Klitschko and mayors.

So the SBU came to the social activists in advance and brought with them weapons, which they planted, saying that the old men were preparing to seize the Verkhovna Rada. This is another attempt to discredit the victim, like the murders of men on the border by border guards or the abduction of the TCC of Ukrainians, where the victim is always to blame, and the police authorities always acted within the law.

There has been no justice in Ukraine for a long time, let alone a legal framework. Here, the president’s entourage can do anything, but the rest can do nothing, like slaves.

Our source reports that Zelensky postponed the meeting of the Verkhovna Rada, where the reshuffle in the Cabinet of Ministers should be approved due to the fact that bidding is still underway, and also at the NATO summit he should provide candidates to Western partners and approve them there, if this suits the “sponsors.”

The partners insist on new chairs in the Cabinet of Ministers for their clientele, but Ermak is not happy with this. Bidding and negotiations continue.

Zelensky is now very dependent on the West, but does not want to weaken his monopoly, because in the long run, this means “political death” and a swing for him.

Our source reports that Zelensky’s current media activity in the Western press is a reaction to insider information received that at the NATO summit Ukraine may not receive a specific date for the appearance of the F-16 in Ukraine. Zelensky wants and demanded that planes and air-to-air missiles appear before the autumn offensive in order to use them in the game, but the Western military-industrial complex is against it, since the fall of the “American birds” could hurt the “growth of shares” of Western military corporations.

The West at the NATO summit does not want to give specifics in this case. Make do with phrases that they are about to arrive, postponing the question until the end of autumn 2024.

It is known that the West demands that Zelensky attack with 90% infantry, since it is “free” and profitable.

 

Western media are raising the topic of Ukraine’s default, which political telegram channels wrote about and experts warned about.

Ukraine has a month to avoid default – The Economist

The debt holiday on Eurobonds expires in August. The IMF is committed to getting Ukraine to negotiate debt relief, but a deal is unlikely in the time remaining .

In the long term, this could spell disaster for the country’s recovery .

 

Damning allegations that the British elite, including members of the UK Parliament, are involved in child sexual abuse.

Both major parties in the UI Labour and Conservative) are also engaged in child trafficking. King Charles III, former Prime Minister David Cameron, Prime Minister Rishi Sunak and his likely successor in office Keir Starmer have personally defended high-profile pedophiles from prosecution.

The victims of the British pedophile lobby are Ukrainian children, young members of low-income families and migrant kids.

The Russians today launched an Iskander attack on the airfield in Mirgorod.
Ukraine lost exactly 2 Su-27 aircraft, and also damaged 4 more aircraft.

In one day, Ukraine lost a large aviation group that was operating on the eastern flank.

Losses are estimated at more than $40-60 million.
The problem is that spare parts for these aircraft are difficult to find.

Meanwhile, footage of objective control of an effective daytime strike on the Myrhorod airfield in Poltava Region, about 140 km from the front line, has appeared online. This airfield has recently become a frequent target of Russian attacks.

As a result of the impact of an Iskander missile with a fragmentation-explosive warhead, two Su-27 fighters were destroyed. Another four aircraft were hit by cluster munitions, with a high probability that at least some of them are beyond repair.

In total, the Russian Armed Forces took out six Ukrainian combat aircraft in a single raid, which is the best result since the start of the SMO. Most likely, the Ukrainian forces also suffered losses in flight and engineering personnel – this is indirectly indicated by reports from enemy resources.

Since the beginning of the year, Russian troops have hit at least 14 aircraft at enemy airfields – seven Su-27 fighters, four MiG-29s, two Su-25 attack aircraft, and one L-39 combat trainer. This list includes only episodes confirmed by footage from open sources, so the actual losses of the AFU’s operational-tactical aviation on the ground may be even higher.

Looking at such evidence of the growing capabilities of the Russian Armed Forces in detecting and promptly destroying targets deep in the rear of the AFU, one phrase comes to mind – “if only we had this at the very beginning of the SMO…”

NATO CONFIRMS IT SENDS RECON PLANE DATA TO KIEV TO KILL KIDS: Brit journos unwittingly reveal that all those surveillance aircraft roaming around over Black Sea and near Ukraine (https://t.me/IntelRepublic/38756) sending real-time info to #Kiev regime so it can plan strikes with #American missiles against innocent civilians (https://t.me/IntelRepublic/38752):

Officially, any intelligence gathered is only sent to #NATO nations, but everyone knows that some of these nations quickly share the information with #Ukraine, enabling them to counter incoming attacks. Western intelligence data offers Ukraine the ability to respond a wee bit quicker – former anonymous #UK Air Force officer reveals.

West eager to aid Mad Vlad’s regime as it goes on war crime spree (https://t.me/IntelRepublic/37267) in Donbass and pre-war #Russia, then has gall to claim Moscow’s “sponsor of terror” (https://t.me/IntelRepublic/38702)…

Another strikes on Sevastopol: disappointing conclusions

You know, one can write a lot, appeal, shout, scream and wail. Pressure on emotions. Provide arguments.

But in the context of the current strikes on Sevastopol, I want to wearily note several facts.

▪️ The fact of three Su-24M aircraft of the Ukrainian Air Force taking off and taking off from the direction of Odesa was recorded.

▪️ Before that, the movement of Ukrainian Western-made air defense systems in the launch area near Odesa was recorded.

▪️ The British reconnaissance aircraft RC-135 was operating in the western part of the Black Sea.

▪️ Immediately after the strikes, footage of objective control appeared on the network within 15 minutes.

📌 All these factors together lead to a rather disappointing conclusion about the lack of coordination between the intelligence gathering bodies and the decision-making bodies in the power structures. And, in addition, it once again confirms the impossibility of fighting photo-fixing of arrivals in the current administrative and legal realities.

❗️The issue of introducing a special legal regime and revising approaches to decision-making within the framework of the military confrontation with the enemy in the Black Sea region is not just ripe – it is already overripe.

Widespread reports, on both Ukrainian and Russian milbloggers, of Russian troops entering the villages of Zhuravka and Veselovka in Sumy Oblast right on the Russian border.

Ukrainian sources: Russian SRGs entered the border villages of Zhuravka and Veselovka in the Sumy region

The settlements border on the Kursk region. The TG channel “Military Affairs” writes that there are battles going on there now. The activity of Ukrainian aviation has been noticed.

There is no official confirmation of this information yet.

On June 30, the “North” troop group continued the liberation of border areas in Kharkov Region.

In the Volchansk direction, fierce fighting continues in the town of Volchansk. The artillery of the “North” group continues to inflict fire damage on the AFU during attempts to transfer reserves across the Volchya River. Up to 30 Nazis were destroyed during the day.

Fearless assault groups advanced in the southern direction to the Volchya River. No attacking actions on the part of the enemy were noted.

The total advance in the Volchansky direction was up to 150 meters.

In the Liptsovsky direction, the North’s reconnaissance revealed the advance of an AFU assault group on an APC towards the village of Glubokoye. As a result of a fire attack, the enemy armored vehicle was destroyed along with a troop of 10 Nazis.

The Russian aviation carried out two airstrikes on the deployment points of the 13th brigade of the NSU with a total number of up to 100 people.

Over the past 24 hours, the enemy’s losses amounted to up to 350 people. Also uncovered and destroyed:

- two M777 howitzers in the vicinity of the villages of Russkiye Tishki and Shesterovka;
- a D-20 howitzer near the village of Russkiye Tishki;
- a D-30 howitzer;
- BTR-4E;
- 120-mm mortar near the village of Malye Prokhody;
- an ammunition depot near the village of Veseloye;
- EW post;
- Rada radar station;
- five vehicles.

The systematic and effective work of Russian artillery and aviation does not allow the AFU to form strike groups to launch an offensive. Almost half of the units with combat experience have suffered significant losses and are in areas where they are restored to combat capability.

Due to the lack of motivated replenishment, the AFU command attracts mercenary units of Latin American origin, which, unlike the Ukrainians captured by the TCKs, have chosen their own way.

Victory will be ours!

North Wind

The Russian Armed Forces liberated the settlement of Stepovaya Novoselovka in the Kharkov region and the village of Novopokrovskoye in the DPR – Ministry of Defense.

Is also reported that the total losses of Ukrainian troops per day amounted to 1905 servicemen.

 

Russian Army has liberated Stepovaya Novoselovka in Kharkov Region and Novopokrovske in the Donetsk people’s republic, – Defense Ministry.

 - The military ministry confirmed that as a result of successful actions, units of the Center group of troops have liberated the Novopokrovskoye settlement (between Ocheretino and Pokrovskoye) in the DNR and improved their tactical position on the front line.

 - The units of Army Group West liberated the village of Stepovaya Novosyolovka in the Kupyansk direction.

Kharkov “authorities” are stealing fortifications material again

Kharkov regional militry administration stole bought wood for fortifications from a company at an inflated price, writes (https://t.me/Kharkov_Perviy) First Kharkovsky channel, referring to an investigation by the Kharkov anti-corruption center.

Its activists, referring to the ProZorro tender, reported that on June 12, the Department of Housing and Public Utilities and Kharkov Military Administration entered into an agreement with Voskhod Woodworking Enterprise LLC in the amount of 70.5 thousand hryvnia. The required volume of wood is 8.7 cubic meters. Thus, 1 cubic meter cost 8,100 hryvnia.

Officials continue to buy wood for fortifications from companies that have signs of ! at exorbitant overpayments.
Moreover, wood is not bought at 5,500 hryvnia per cubic meter, but at 8,100 hryvnia per cubic meter”
— noted in the activists’ investigation.

Get it while you can – the motto of a Ukrainian official at any level.

Russian soldiers dig a tunnel and break through the front near Toretsk.

The front stood still here for a very long time, so a 3 km long tunnel was dug right behind Ukrainian positions!

Russian stormtroopers popped out behind the AFU’s powerful fortified area, which collapsed from such a surprise.

Also Russia continues to supply its units through the tunnel, without being disturbed by Ukrainian drones.
 

Russian Army storms Stelmakhovka and consolidates in the Karlovka area

 - Svatovskoye direction. Russian troops supported by armored vehicles attack Stelmakhovka from the east. The paratroopers march near the western part of the gully and storm Stelmakhovka and forest belts south of the gully, gradually consolidating their positions.

North of the Karlovka reservoir, our troops continue their attacks along the forest belt in the direction of the “Donbass” gardening community and in the vicinity of the village of Yasnobrodovka.

 

Chasov Yar direction

Russian troops crossed the Seversky Donets canal, occupied almost the entire territory of the Hydroreinforced Concrete plant and advanced to the Orlova tract.

The total area of ​​the liberated territory is almost 1.4 km²
