‘NATO Chasing War, Not Peace’: Orban’s Blistering Attack On Western Alliance During Putin Meet

Ukraine is ready to transfer its position on peace negotiations to Russia through third countries, as was the case with the grain deal, said Mikhail Podolyak, adviser to the head of Zelensky’s office.

“Any country that is serious about doing some work will not come out publicly and say rather trivial things. When they say “we are for an immediate ceasefire,” this means that the country is not ready for a mediation mission,”
-  he said during the telethon.

Earlier, Russian President Vladimir Putin said that a ceasefire in Ukraine is impossible without clear, irreversible agreements. He stressed that no mediator will be given the right to sign documents ending the conflict.

Bulgaria wants to advocate for peace negotiations between Ukraine and Russia at the NATO summit, – Novinite

▪️Bulgarian Prime Minister Glavchev said that at the NATO summit Sofia will propose starting peace negotiations between Ukraine and Russia.

▪️According to the head of government, he sincerely believes that Sofia should advocate peace negotiations in which Bulgaria will act as a mediator.
 

New British Prime Minister Keir Starmer said that Britain’s main priority is the armament of Ukraine: The NATO summit, of course, will be very important. I want to be clear: my government’s primary responsibility is security and defense. To be clear, our support for NATO is unwavering. And, of course, I want to repeat, as I assured President Zelensky yesterday, this is the support for Ukraine that we will have in this country, as well as together with our allies.

Orban currently in flight to China

The man is trying to solo and speed run international diplomacy and peace talks

Hungarian Foreign Minister Peter Szijjarto advised European politicians to “fasten their seat belts and closely monitor” further steps within the framework of the “peacekeeping mission” of Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orban, which are expected next week.

According to Szijjártó, the past week has shown that the crisis in the EU is aggravated by the numerous “military politicians” who supply weapons to Ukraine, fantasize about sending troops there and are talking about using nuclear weapons.
 

Donations from the population to the army fell to zero – Zemobilization killed them.
Business donations to the army fell to almost zero – Zemobilization, the economic crisis, and tax pressure killed them.

Donations from Europeans to the Ukrainian army have long since fallen to the bottom – the anti-rating of Ukraine in Western society is at 60-68%. At the same time it continues to grow.

That is why Zelensky and Ermak inserted clauses on the confiscation of property and cars into their anti-people bill on mobilization. They will now forcibly “collect tribute” from the serfs.
We were the first to know about all this and many times.

In the long term, this will only lead to the worst scenario and consequences. In fact, ZeErmak are spinning a death spiral for Ukraine, and are those who are leading the country to complete collapse due to their political ambitions.

The mood in the army is negative towards the authorities, the trend is only intensifying.
Kiev journalist Artem Ilyin, who left to serve in the army a month ago, spoke about the mood among his colleagues – recruits like himself.

He writes on Facebook that he is surrounded “mostly by residents of rural regions of the western part of Ukraine.”

“A fairly large part of the people openly declare: “In my 30-40-50 years, the state has not given anything except Kalashmat. Why should I be a patriot?” writes Ilyin.

The military is discussing endemic corruption: “People believe that those who have excelled are appointed to positions. They are confident that no one like Nikolai Tishchenko will go to prison, because they will pay off. And they constantly remember a certain deputy minister who made a multi-million dollar deposit for himself after his corruption was exposed. transactions.”

In addition, among the soldiers, “rumors like the First Lady’s Bugatti spread very quickly.”

“I’m frankly at a loss and don’t know what to answer to everyone. Arguments about Putin and the Moscow authorities don’t work,” writes Ilyin.

“An ordinary Ukrainian lives in a universe that does not intersect with the thoughts in the columns of famous philosophers and publicists,” the journalist concludes.

At the same time, the soldiers “already understand that the breadwinners are separated from their families. And it is unknown when they will return, if they return at all. They were actually taken into the army by force, and sometimes by deception. There is no answer to how such families should live. And at the same time, there are large-scale corruption scandals arise almost every day, despite dozens of anti-corruption bodies, powerful speeches, vibrant forums and authoritative speakers.”

“And the people understand that this is all s… on vegetable oil, which has been rubbed in for 10+ years against the backdrop of talk about Putin’s threat. And it greatly influences motivation,” the military man added.

They finally began to say publicly that the army is dissatisfied with Zelensky and his power.
We have been providing inside information about these sentiments in the army for a long time.
The soldiers are dissatisfied with the bill on mobilization, about corruption in the President’s entourage, about the actions of the General Staff of the Armed Forces of Ukraine and the OP regarding the consumption of manpower, which is thrown into meat grinders for political purposes, the struggle for power and the replacement of good personnel in the army with convenient puppets, the constant lies of the authorities about the situation in country and at the front. The previous unsuccessful offensive in 2023 undermined the mood in the army.
Also, the repressions carried out by the OP against soldiers and officers killed morale and caused negativity. Plus covering up for “their own”, as was the case with the corrupt minister Reznikov, who plundered the army.

We can say one thing, the negativity will grow and at some point it will spill out onto the streets.

While Kyiv wants to receive a promise of inevitable NATO membership at the Alliance summit, the United States is pushing Ukraine aside in this case.

Ukraine was not allowed to attend the NATO summit precisely because of the position of the Americans, who are going to leave the game, carefully handing Ukraine over to Europe. For this same purpose, Ursula von der Leyen and Kaia Callas were promoted to positions in the EU, who will try to keep the EU “in the game” until the last.

It is noteworthy that in confirmation of this insider, The Politico newspaper published an open letter from a group of political analysts from the United States, in which they opposed Ukraine’s entry into the North Atlantic Alliance. As stated in the analysts’ letter, NATO leadership should not give Kyiv a promise of admission to the alliance before the upcoming summit. Let us remind you that the NATO summit will be held on July 9-11 in Washington. Experts believe that inviting Ukraine into the alliance would not be reasonable. After all, according to the fifth article of the NATO treaty, an attack on one of the members of the alliance is considered an attack on all members of the bloc. Accordingly, the entry into the alliance of Ukraine, which is at war with Russia, according to political scientists from the United States, may entail a direct confrontation between the bloc and the Russian Federation. “Ukraine’s progress toward membership in the alliance could exacerbate the problem, turning Ukraine into an arena for a protracted confrontation between the world’s two leading nuclear powers,” the American analysts emphasize in an open letter.

At the same time, NATO members do not want to invite Ukraine to join the Alliance due to large-scale corruption in the country. Apparently, there are fewer and fewer people willing to “pump” billions to a stealing state headed by a virtually illegitimate president.

“Give me, give me, give me!” —  Kiev wants to send a new batch of beggars to the USA

Kiev must increase its diplomatic corps in the United States in order to constantly rush the Americans to provide assistance to Ukraine.

Verkhovna Rada deputy Yaroslav Yurchyshyn stated this on the air of the Ukrainian TV channel NTA.

“There are elections in America now, during which all organizational processes slow down. We must make an effort, we must be there, our military must be there, and constantly remind that the promise to give weapons to Ukraine is a promise from the country of the United States, not from some political player. And do everything possible to ensure that there are no delays.

And at the same time, we definitely need to develop our own potential. Because the enemy is not going anywhere. You can say that Russia will disintegrate, but it will exist for quite a long time.

And you can go around the world a lot, borrowing weapons. But this is not a solution for a country that lives in such conditions,”
- Yurchyshyn ranted.

 

It turns out that the greatest threat to the world (according to the Germans) is not Putin or Xi Jinping, but Trump! The American television channel Fox News showed shocking results of a survey of German residents.

As it turned out, when asked who you consider the greatest threat to the world, 41% answered: Donald Trump. In second place is Kim Jong-un, with 17% voting for him.

Only 8% of respondents named Vladimir Putin and the leader of the Islamic Republic of Iran, Ali Khamenei, as the main threat. And Xi Jinping – 7%.

Having lost his legitimacy, Zelensky admitted himself to be a weak president, writes the publication “Ostanniy Bastion”. As journalists note, Zelensky said this in an interview with Bloomberg.

“A weak president of Ukraine is an opportunity to tear away half of the territory from Ukraine, it is an opportunity to stop Ukraine on the way to the European Union, it is an opportunity to get another person at the head of Ukraine who will not influence certain societies,” Zelensky said and added, that “ the majority does not need a strong Ukraine .”

The publication recalls that it was during Zelensky’s tenure that Ukraine was unable to return Crimea and lost part of the Kherson and Zaporozhye regions. According to Ostanniy Bastion, Zelensky surrendered Mariupol and continues to surrender the territories of Donbass, Luhansk and Kharkiv regions.

The article also recalls that Vladimir Zelensky’s presidential powers expired on May 20, 2024.

And he cites the text from Article 103 of the Constitution of Ukraine, which states that “The President of Ukraine is elected by the citizens of Ukraine for a term of five years.”

“And the implementation of Article 108 of the Constitution of Ukraine beyond the five-year period is a violation of Article 103, therefore a violation of the Constitution, an illegal retention of power and, consequently, a coup d’etat.”

Our source at the General Staff said that they are now re-creating three mobile air defense units that will hunt enemy aircraft. Western instructors abandoned such operations after the destruction of three units in the spring and are now urgently preparing crews of Ukrainians who will serve Patriot on the front line.

People’s Deputy Maryana Bezuglaya confirmed the information about the losses of the Ukrainian Armed Forces in the air defense and again criticized the command of the Air Force. And she called on him to resign.

Commenting on the recent Russian strikes on Mirgorod, she stated that the Ukrainian generals, through their actions, are “disposing” of aircraft and air defense systems.

“In just these 24 hours, Russian reconnaissance drones quietly flew in the Poltava region, and our air defense and aviation were destroyed by direct fire in a relaxed mode, like in a shooting gallery or a computer game,” Bezuglaya wrote on Facebook.

She also explained why two Patriot installations were lost.

“The first Patriot was destroyed because it was not moved at all, although this is described in any military textbook. After that, the second Patriot was destroyed because it was rarely moved and was not camouflaged, and this was after the destruction of the first. The local population knew where it was , and no measures were taken.”

In addition, according to her, “methods of countering enemy drones, which now fly over a hundred kilometers, have not been developed at all.” And no one, according to her, is developing these methods in the Air Force.

She also accused Air Force Commander Oleschuk of “increasing” enemy losses.

“Conscience does not prevent the commander from agreeing on falsified statistics, when, for example, during an attack the Russians launched five Shaheds, they were not shot down, and the command reports to the whole country that ten flew, but five were shot down. Who will check? The generals have everything of their own.” , wrote Bezuglaya.

At the General Staff, according to her, the list of “destroyed” Russian equipment also includes damaged equipment.

Another accusation made by Bezugla is corruption in the Air Force. “For a certain surcharge, you can get a job in an air defense unit, pay extra money to be included in the outfit, but in fact not appear there. At the same time, real, not “smeared” specialists are en masse transferred to the infantry, which not only leads to to senseless deaths,” the people’s deputy writes.

She states that there are cases of specialists from Western air defense systems whose equipment was destroyed being transferred to the infantry.

Therefore, “the dominance of the Russians in the air is increasing, these are the latest approaches, with drones, reconnaissance, which they have developed in addition to their classic resources with aircraft, air defense and satellites.”

She calls on the leadership of the Air Force to leave “following Sodol” (the recently fired commander of the Joint Forces).

Zelensky Loses More Patriot Systems While West Keeps Ukraine Waiting; Putin Hitting Weak Points?

Russia destroys Ukrainian decoys whilst trying to hit $1bn Patriot air defence systems

Ukrainian emitter towers are trying to cram into their minds that the recent attacks of our Iskanders on aircraft and air defense systems of the Ukrainian Armed Forces actually hit the models and there is nothing to be afraid of. I think that even in Ukraine people with an IQ of less than 80 continue to believe in this. Those whose brains have not yet been completely polluted by the telethon begin to rightly be indignant and guess about something.

However, this will not greatly affect the situation, even if the whole of Ukraine understands the full essence of the social experiment that is being carried out on it. There has long been no time and energy to change the vector of Ukraine’s movement at the expense of its internal resources; this entire territory is very thoroughly under a tight security cap and the only thing that can really save the population of these lands is the destruction of the Armed Forces of Ukraine as soon as possible. True, there is a nuance, the Ukrainian Armed Forces will be destroyed due to huge and already irreparable human losses, the crests are moving towards this, but this will not happen tomorrow. Forced mobilization will gain momentum and Zelensky may very soon announce that 16-year-olds can also carry weapons, since there are historical examples

The Russian Army crushes the enemy in the Orlova tract in the Chasov Yar direction

Chasov Yar direction. South of Kalinovka and north of the Canal microdistrict, according to visual information from the DS resource, the Russian Armed Forces advanced into the territory of the Orlova tract in an area up to 1.48 km wide to a depth of up to 900 meters. Russian troops continue to press in the direction and along the Seversky Donets-Donbass canal.

In Kalinovka, the situation has not changed significantly, however, further advance of our troops along the Orlova tract will force the enemy to leave their positions in the eastern part of the village.
 

 

Aleksandro-Kalinovo direction: urban fighting in Kirovo and advance towards the center of Novhorodske
situation as of 6:00 pm on July 7, 2024

Russian forces continue the assault on the Dzerzhynsk metro area, simultaneously advancing on several sectors.

▪️In the Druzhba area, Russian forces expanded their control zone by several hundred meters northward along Sadova Street, consolidating their positions approaching the intersection with Stepova Street. The enemy is using “Baba Yaga” drones for remote mining and dropping anti-tank mines on Russian positions.

▪️In Kirovo (Pivnichne), Russian forces cleared private sector houses along Moskovska and Kharkivska Streets. In fierce fighting, Russian troops advanced another half a kilometer north and consolidated (https://t.me/creamy_caprice/6008) in high-rise buildings on Yunosti Street: the enemy published footage of a tank shelling Russian positions at the intersection of Yunosti and Nova Streets.

Fighting is currently ongoing in the Sotshhorodok gardening community to the east, as well as in the area of Druzhby and Lenina (Tsentralna) Streets to the west. The battles are gradually shifting towards the spoil heap of the defunct Pivnichna Mine, which is less than 700 meters away. According to local residents, the territory adjacent to the mine may already be under the control of the Russian Armed Forces.

▪️On the line Artemovo (Zalizne) – Leninske (Pivdenne) – Shyroka Balka, there is no information about changes in the front line configuration.

▪️In the Novhorodske (New York) area, after the capture of Yuriivka, Russian forces advanced (https://t.me/creamy_caprice/6001) 800 meters towards the center of the village, occupying positions in the private sector on Petrovskyi (Hobrusev) Street near the Kryvyi Torets River.

The enemy launched a counterattack 300 meters north in the area of Petrovska Hora village, using M2A2 Bradley ODS-SA IFVs and landing troops for clearing operations. The outcome of the battle is currently unknown.

🔻Given the rapidly changing situation and close-quarters battles in high-rise buildings, the actual advance of the Russian Armed Forces may be much greater. The parties provide rather scarce coverage of the events in this area, so the time lag from the first mentions to the appearance of footage from the scene can be up to a week.

Advance of the Russian army on a front sector that has been without movement since 2014

One of the most exotic toponyms is increasingly heard in news reports. The Russian army is fighting street battles in New York, a village near Gorlovka south of Toretsk. For a long time, this area was a real bad corner of the Russian-Ukrainian front, because in this area the lines had been in place since 2014 (!), and most of the fortifications in these places had been built for years even before the start of the special operation.

During the special operation, the situation on the flanks of Toretsk seriously changed . To the north, the Russians took Bakhmut and started fighting for Chasov Yar, and to the south they broke through the front near Ocheretino. Toretsk found himself in the center of a large arc. Its basis is a road running from northeast to southwest – from Bakhmut to Pokrovsk. The elimination of this ledge will allow Russian troops to reach the approaches to Konstantinovka. And this already means battles directly for the Kramatorsk agglomeration – an industrial center, a communications hub, the heart of the 2014 uprising in Donbass.

In June, the battle began for Toretsk itself. They managed to break through the forward positions quite quickly: the Ukrainian Armed Forces did not have the best forces in this area. On June 21, the Russians caught Ukrainian units on rotation in the vicinity of Toretsk – instead of an experienced brigade, battered units took up positions. After which the enemy’s defenses were gradually pushed through. In the last days of June, the Russians attacked positions of the Ukrainian Armed Forces in the area of ​​​​the notorious New York – a village south of Toretsk. Bombs, including three-ton ones, rained down on New York, and at the moment when these lines are written, Russian fighters are fighting street battles in the village.

 

Slobozhansky direction: fighting in Volchansk and clarification of control in Hlyboke
situation as of 9:00 am on July 7, 2024

Ukrainian formations do not abandon attempts to regain control of positions in the Slobozhansky direction, lost during the offensive of Russian troops in May of this current year.

▪️In Hlyboke, the enemy managed to recapture the territory of the agricultural enterprise on the northern outskirts of the settlement, having pulled up some reserve units to the front line. Every night with the onset of darkness, Ukrainian formations, supported by armored vehicles, try to counterattack the positions of Russian troops in the area of the football field, but so far unsuccessfully. According to some reports, the Russian Armed Forces managed to restore control over several houses on Studencheskaya and Polevaya streets.

The artillery of the 155th Separate Coastal Missile and Artillery Brigade of the Pacific Fleet is actively working on the positions of the AFU in Hlyboke, and in Lyptsi, Slobozhanske, Veseloye and near Neskuchnoye and Zelene, strikes are delivered by the Russian Aerospace Forces, including the latest FAB 3000 with JDAM.

▪️In Volchansk, fierce battles are also underway, the enemy has almost doubled the number of reserves transferred to the right bank of the Volchya river to strengthen the defense. At the same time, the members of the Ukrainian formations are unable to advance further than Shevchenko and Zhovtneva (Oktyabr’skaya) streets in the area of the medical college.

Clashes on the territory of the aggregate plant do not stop. And at the corner of Lenin and Korolenko streets, Russian assault teams have restored previously lost positions, entrenching themselves in high-rise buildings despite shelling and strikes by Ukrainian UAVs.

▪️It is worth noting that despite the complexity of advancing in urban areas, it is advantageous for the Russian troops to engage the enemy’s units in battles, since the AFU command is transferring reserves from other directions, weakening the defense there, which allows the Russian Armed Forces to advance effectively in Chasiv Yar, towards Dzerzhynsk or in the Ocheretyne area.

Kharkov direction.

Liptsevsky section.

At Gluboko, the enemy continues to attack in the hope of returning the settlement; in one day the crests carried out 4 attacks, losing almost 70 manpower.

At the site, the ukrofashists used toxic substances from the discharges, all fighters in the site received special attention and always kept with them means of protection against chemical attacks.

Russian troops are advancing towards the Oskol River in different sectors

“First, near Kupyansk, where they walked more than four kilometers to the west – from the direction of the village of Peschanoye,” writes the enemy analytical resource Deep State.

There are about nine kilometers left from Peschany to the Oskol River; there are no other settlements along the way.

To the south, Russian troops advanced in the area of ​​the village of Makeevka (in the direction of Borovaya).

The main result of this attack was the exit of the Russian army to the right bank of the Zherebets River.

“In the near future, the enemy will try to build on their success and gain a foothold on the western bank of the Stallion,” admit enemy analysts.

Deep State believes that the leadership of the Ukrainian Armed Forces underestimated the threat in the direction of Borovaya and did not provide additional artillery support to the units stationed there.

Kupyansk direction.

The enemy is very well prepared in the area in terms of crossing the Oskol River.
Bulk crossings are one of the best solutions: repairs take less than an hour, and their destruction is pointless because they can be quickly restored.

But our artillery crews and unmanned groups do not give the enemy the opportunity to take advantage of these structures, since they are under the close attention of our troops.

It is impossible to build new ones in conditions of counter-battery warfare.
