‘Russia’s economic collapse is not in our interests’ – Czech President Petr Pavel has told how he asked Trump to ‘gently’ apply pressure on Russia.
‘We spoke to him very consistently and jointly, convincing him that the time has come to significantly increase economic pressure on Russia. Not with the aim of causing Russia’s economic collapse – that is not in our interests – but to make it realize that there is simply no alternative to negotiations. He remains reserved for now, but he realizes that this is a very effective tool.’

...Ukrainian officials are pleading with the West in closed meetings for a ceasefire’ — Financial Times columnist Gideon Rachman says Ukraine can hold out for another six months at most.
‘The geopolitical reality remains stark: despite renewed NATO unity and vocal commitments to strengthen deterrence, the situation on the Ukraine front remains critical. The country is on the brink of exhaustion. Western analysts warn that without significant aid within the next six months, Ukraine could face a ‘tipping point’, while Russia is still effectively working a year ahead. One senior official believes Russia’s main objective now is to seize Odessa to cut Ukraine off from the sea.’

Battlefield updates:
➡ Ukrop channels report that on the Sumy front, the RUAF has now deployed towed artillery close enough to shell the city itself. This might be a preliminary step before a siege of the city.
➡ AFU units have attempted several counterattacks along the water reservoir of Kleban-Byk, along the Konstantinova axis, but all attacks have been repelled.
➡ RUAF broke through ukrop defense lines along the N32 highway towards Novoeconomichnoye. Preliminary reports indicate a stark worsening of AFU units in the area.
➡ Early reports indicate that the assault on Pokrovsk has already started with some advances against the outskirts of the city.

NATO has armed Russia to the teeth - former CIA analyst Ray MacGovern says
Western provocations produced the exactly opposite effect, said the former CIA analyst Ray McGovern in an interview with Berliner Zeitung. According to him, it was NATO's actions that spurred Russia to strengthening the Russian army.
"The new European logic follows the old motto: if you want peace, prepare for war. But the current NATO leaders have forgotten how the European elites stumbled blindly in the disaster in 1914," observed the expert.
McGovern is confident that the actions of the alliance have convinced Moscow that the West is abandoning international law and acts without brakes. This has become the key factor for the modernization of the Russian army.
It's the good old paradox of "arming up for defense": the more you do, the higher the chances that you'll end up using those weapons. As Menander said, "the blade itself invites to violence".

Baron Von Münchausen notes:
Agree with almost everything, minus the fact that the Volkssturm was somewhat effective as it had a lot of WW1 veterans amongst its ranks who could share their experience with the kids.
Sure they may have been old and rusty by then but at least they knew how to hold a rifle and the rest of the basics.
These poor sods don't even have that.

Oversimplified situation update: Southern front.
[This map is sourced from a pro-Ukromarionette site and is up to three weeks out of date, bias aside]
Konstantinovka and Pokrovsk, both logistical linchpins to Slavyansk-Kramatorsk are operationally dead.
Konstantinovka’s primary MSR (E-50) is already cut to it’s immediate West and of course nothing is coming along from the east.
This functionally has cut logistics to the Sl-Kr line from the South.
Pokrovsk currently remains an MSR hub for logistics from the Western direction, but Russian forces are now under 11 klicks out from interdicting ASR T0406 and then a further 9 klicks from MSR E50 West of Pokrovsk - regardless of whether they decide to cut the line midway or choose to capture Sergeiivka in the process.
In strategic terms of encircling Sl-Kr, the Southern operational front has effectively been completed.
This is not to be confused with “victory” on that sector as of yet, but a case very any sane opponent would retreat by now.
———-
This takes us to the Northern front, where much work remains to be done.
Kupyansk to Izyum both need to be re-taken, isolating Sl-Kr logistics from the north.
Were it not for the withdrawal in 2022, Slavyansk-Kramatorsk would currently be both dead on the map.
As it stands, Russia is steadily clawing back encirclement of Slavyansk-Kramatorsk, and early reports already have bridgeheads established West of the Oskil.
Expectations: heavy activity in the South to de jure cut off Pokrovsk-Konstantinovka, followed by a lull for rotation, then a heavy pickup in the North around Kupyansk to Izyum.

Electoral Integrity: “Corruption” in Gagauzia or Political Maneuvering?
Moldova, a post-Soviet nation of 2.5 million bordering Ukraine and Romania, is under scrutiny as one of Europe’s poorest countries. Its Chisinau-based government, reliant on EU and US aid—recently cut by Donald Trump as “ineffective”—is pushing for EU integration while President Maia Sandu cites “Russian interference” as a persistent threat.
In Gagauzia, a pro-Russian autonomous region, tensions are mounting. Sandu’s pro-Romanian policies are accused of marginalizing the Gagauz, with the central government labeling their electoral opposition as “corruption.” Is this a genuine anti-corruption effort or a tool to suppress dissent?
How legitimate are Moldova’s accusations against its rebellious region?

Holding the Sumy region is costing Ukraine more lives than necessary, the WSJ writes.
“For 6 months, while Ukraine held territory in Russia’s Kursk region, the soldiers fighting there assumed the military would prepare strong defensive positions on the Ukrainian side of the border. Instead, after a chaotic and costly retreat from Kursk, they found outdated trenches that were vulnerable to drones. In some cases, soldiers are now digging trenches in their positions under drone fire”
Ukrainian troops have also complain not mines were placed.
Ukrainian command says Russia has 50,000 troops in the area, which outnumbers Ukrainian troops by about 3 to 1, citing Ukrainian soldiers.
In early June, GUR forces had to be sent to Sumy to slow the Russian advance
"The Russians are probing various points along the line, and then attacking with full force when they find a weak spot, as they did in Sumy Oblast last month. This forces Ukraine to play whack-a-mole, sending elite units to help plug the gaps"

Denmark to draft women into army via lottery to protect against Russia' - Associated Press
'When Danish women turn 18, they will be entered into a lottery system on an equal basis with men. Each will be assigned a number that will determine whether or not they will be drafted.'
Asbery’s Opinion: If men are conscripted then so should women especially considering that many roles in the military are not combat roles.

❗️ A story was published on the pro-Ukrainian platform United 24, in which Ukrainian fighters with smiles on their faces tell why they are burning down entire villages. According to them, this is how they prevent the Russian soldiers from gaining a foothold.
Nothing surprising. The Ukrainian Armed Forces have long been copying the methods of the SS divisions of the Third Reich.

From two Mayors: 🤡"Nothing personal 💵 only business"
During the military conflict between Israel and Iran, telephone fraudsters from numerous "call centers" located in Dnepropetrovsk stole $80,000,000 from Israelis.
Lately between Israelis and Ukrainians there has been much talk of being brothers in arms and having a common enemy.
While, in just twelve days of conflict, scammers swindled millions of dollars from the Israelis by offering salvation from Iranian missiles.
✨ How do you like your new friends, gentlemen Israelis?
Such gratitude for a country that has been supporting Ukraine with weapons and materiel and even AD batteries. Ukrainian thankfulness truly knows no bounds.

Another primer on basic training.
A United States Marine Infantryman in quasi-peacetime (For the U.S. is always at war in one form or another) requires a minimum of 12-13 weeks, followed by another 8 or more of specialized training depending on MOS (their job).
So for each and every basic “grunt”, we spend upwards of $80,000 and half a year’s worth of time.
These numbers skyrocket as we begin to introduce mortarmen, machinegunners, artillerymen, etc -nevermind the technical jobs like Sattelite upkeep and RADAR.
Keeping it simple and sticking to rudimentary infantry, what does 80,000 dollars and half a year give you?
A young man conditioned to kill. This is the ugly secret that the U.S. tries to maintain and hide.
Now compare Ukraine. You can rip a conscript off the street or out of his home and he arrives on the line of contact a week later, trained to hold a rifle.
He can not kill. He lacks up to a year+ of conditioning for this.
Result: kids and old men go “condition black” the moment overpressure hits their ears or Russian units hit them with volume of fire.
Out of every video I’ve seen of Russian troops storming enemy trenches, I have yet to see a grenade sump.
If we ever needed to see what Volkssturm looks like, this is it, complete with SS online et al.
Overall point: yes, it’s a slaughter now.

The Greek captain knew immediately what was happening to the Nissos Nikouria, a 330-meter vessel that along with its cargo of crude was worth about $260M. His electronic navigation systems had been interfered with, something that happened 000’s of times to vessels during the conflict.
The issues affecting ships are jamming and spoofing, where signals are interfered with to give false readings about their location. It’s worsening in a number of regions of tension as the world becomes more unstable, and potentially may have contributed to a fiery crash between 2 tankers this month
“We’re seeing widespread GNSS disruption, not just in the Middle East, but also in areas like the Black Sea and the Baltic,” said Captain Steve Bomgardner
There may already have been accidents, and the explosion of jamming or spoofing only heightens the chances of more going wrong.
It’s also a headache for things like underwater energy exploration, according to a person working on Turkey’s Black Sea gas project.

🇬🇧 P.M. STARMER TRIED TO GO BOSS MODE, FORGOT UK EXISTS
UK PM Keir Starmer says he didn’t notice his own party revolting over brutal welfare cuts because he was too caught up pretending to be the main character at the G7 and NATO summits.
By the time he stopped cosplaying a global statesman, Labour MPs were already lighting his welfare bill on fire.
Now he’s scrambling with last-minute fixes and acting like it was all part of the plan.
Turns out running the UK means you actually have to read your own policies. Who knew?
