Peskov on the negotiations in Istanbul:
Mainly, the issues related to the draft memorandums exchanged during the second round will be discussed. Also, there will be talks on continuing the very important process of mutual exchanges. And if necessary, of course, any other issues will be raised. Such decisions will be made by the heads of the delegations.
Colleague Medinsky leads our delegation. There are no changes in our composition.
Naturally, no one expects an easy path. Naturally, it will be a very difficult conversation. The drafts are diametrically opposed.

🇫🇷French expert Bunat on Russia "agreeing to negotiations to buy time"
It seems that the Russians are responding to the Ukrainians' call to make a gesture towards Donald Trump and, in a sense, buy time. And the Ukrainians, in turn, are proposing negotiations to demonstrate that they are not the ones obstructing the resolution of the conflict that Trump expects.

🇷🇺🔥🇺🇦 Fierce battles near Pokrovsk: the “🅾️” (brave) are advancing, destroying equipment and personnel of the Armed Forces of Ukraine
- The situation remains tense in the Pokrovske direction, where units of the “Center” group of troops continue their successful offensive. On July 22, our fighters once again demonstrated high efficiency in destroying enemy fortifications.
- The published footage shows the destruction of armored vehicles, communication systems, UAVs, firing points, as well as the elimination of Ukrainian infantry and the disabling of enemy equipment.

🇺🇦😱The Armed Forces of Ukraine are experiencing an acute shortage of shells and armored vehicles — Syrsky
- Commander-in-Chief of the Armed Forces of Ukraine Oleksandr Syrsky admitted in an interview with The Washington Post that Ukrainian troops are facing an acute shortage of 155mm artillery shells and need additional armored vehicle supplies.
Other statements by Syrsky:
- New air defense weapon deliveries, including American Patriot missiles, interceptor drones, and light aircraft for shooting down drones, could help prevent Russian attacks.
- Ukraine struggles to compete with the much larger Russian army and the huge financial incentives it offers to recruits.
- If financial motivation for conscripts is increased, more will be willing to fight. This was shown by a recent survey of the 18-24 contract initiative.
- About a third of Russian guided bombs used last year were deployed in the Kursk region, not in Ukraine.
- Syrsky indicated that he will not retire after reaching 60 years of age. Apparently, he can still do 100 push-ups without stopping (seemingly the main criterion for the commander-in-chief).

‘Worse than in Ukraine’ – residents of Moldova call President Sandu a member of the mafia and accuse her of destroying the country – The Telegraph
What is your personal opinion of President Sandu?
-She is destroying the country.
Destroying?
-Yes.
It's the mafia.
The mafia? (the correspondent points to the government building)
-Yes.
How do you feel about Ukraine now?
-It’s worse here than in Ukraine. There is a war in Ukraine, that explains everything. But we don’t have a war, and people are fleeing just like in Ukraine. There is no economy, just like in Ukraine.
@Slavyangrad
‘I am very proud that European countries will buy our weapons, pay 100% of their price, and then distribute them wherever they decide. To Ukraine or somewhere , but they will buy them. So we won’t have to bear the costs by giving them away for free. Biden has handed out equipment and cash worth 350B dollars. And what’s worse — not only equipment but also cash. I hope one day we will find out the details. Because ideally, they were supposed to buy their own gear, but I have a feeling that not every $ went exactly to gear. But they are brave, they are fighting a tough battle. And since we produce the best military equipment in the world, our companies will sell it. And they will use it. Even those who don’t want to participate in the war, and I am one of them, even such people say: ‘Wow, this is pretty good, this is pretty good.’ So they will be able to defend themselves, and we will no longer pay for it. And I think that is very important.’
At a training ground near the settlement of Shostka, a self-destruction of the Ukrainian Armed Forces' deployment point occurred.
The cause of the explosion is unknown.

A number of Ukrainian sources have been reporting since last night that something completely different has started happening near Konstantinovka, where an intensification of the assault on the city itself was expected all these days.
Instead of striking the road towards the city itself, the Russian army began hitting the junction between Pokrovsk and Konstantinovka in the direction of Shakhovo and Toretsk. If this information is confirmed soon and the actions result in a tactical success with further access to the T-05-14 highway, Russia will effectively have the opportunity to get behind Sloviansk and Kramatorsk.

🇵🇱🇺🇦 Poland is mass deporting Ukrainians for crimes
- Polish authorities are intensifying measures to deport foreigners who have committed offenses. Officers of the Silesian Border Unit in Racibórz have already issued 127 expulsion orders, citing the maintenance of order and security in the country.
- From January to mid-July, the border guard issued 127 such decisions, of which 107 have already been executed.
- This year, nearly a hundred Ukrainian citizens have already been ordered to return due to serious violations of the law. They are escorted directly to the border. It is reported that three Ukrainians, previously convicted of robbery, drunk driving, causing bodily harm, and multiple thefts, were delivered to the Polish-Ukrainian border and handed over to local authorities.
- The Polish side states that it has no ability to control the further fate of these individuals after handing them over to Ukraine. However, considering the ongoing mobilization, Ukrainians escorted to the border may be drafted into the army.

Battle of the Braincells: Andrew Perpetua's Neurons Activate at Last!
After spending years shilling for the Clown Prince of Crack and presenting him as the second coming of Churchill, Jesus Christ, and the Prophet Mohammad, now Andy Perpetua suddenly wakes up and discovers that it was all an act and he's just a petty corrupt thief. Mind-blowing, I know. Too bad that people have been trying to warn him and other dill shills like him for three years straight. Only that now there's over one million and a half dead Ukrainians in no small part thanks to idiotic assholes like him who've been vomiting propaganda non-stop.

🇷🇺🇺🇦"Work, brothers" showed how the 46th brigade of the Ukrainian Armed Forces staged a show near Dachnoye
- Another "victory" of the Ukrainian command turned into a shameful failure! The 46th Air Assault Brigade of the Ukrainian Armed Forces once againt decided to play a television victory by trying to raise their flag in the area of the settlement of Dachnoye.
- However, the operation ended unsuccessfully. A group of Ukrainian servicemen involved in the action was destroyed. The flag fell into the hands of Russian fighters.

The head of Ukraine's Main Intelligence Directorate, Kirill Budanov, said that Russia allegedly plans to spend about $1.1 trillion on rearmament over the next ten years, until 2036.
This, in his words, is "the largest program since the collapse of the USSR" and a sign that the country is undergoing "total mobilization of politics, economy, and society" in preparation for a large-scale war.
The statement itself is part of a strategy aimed at mobilizing the West and creating a sense of threat. But if we put the propaganda aspect aside, the amount itself seems not only realistic, but even very reasonable. We are talking about annual expenditures of $85-90 billion, which corresponds to estimates of Russia's current military spending at about 6% of GDP.
🇪🇺🇺🇦The European Union obstructed the adoption of the NABU law in Ukraine
- The European Union tried to stop the adoption of a law that effectively eliminates the independence of Ukrainian anti-corruption agencies. According to The Economist, Brussels exerted direct pressure on Zelensky, urging him to "pause the process" in the Rada. But — to no avail.
- The article states that the decision of the Kiev regime to launch a direct offensive against the reforms of the Maidan era indicates the activation of "some sinister mechanisms." Sources suggest that the reason for introducing the bill may have been the NABU investigations into people within Zelensky's office.
- The law, adopted by 263 votes, effectively subordinates anti-corruption agencies to the Prosecutor General's Office, opening the possibility of direct interference in investigations.
- Western media and officials are already openly talking about a "rollback of key reforms and undermining of the anti-corruption direction" in Ukraine.

On July 22, the Sever military group continued to establish a security zone in the Kharkov and Sumy regions.
In the Sumy direction
Fierce fighting continues in the Kondratovka area. The Ukrainian Armed Forces command continues to send assault groups from the 225th separate motorized rifle brigade, reinforced with soldiers from other units, to capture this small village. The Northerners are grinding down the enemy's manpower and continuing their offensive on the Sumy front.
▪️Our paratroopers and motorized infantry are completing the mopping up of Varachino, driving the enemy out of five houses on the southern outskirts of the village.
Northern Airborne Forces units cleared four buildings in Yunakovka and drove the enemy out of several strongholds in the surrounding forests.
▪️Over the past 24 hours, the enemy has launched four unsuccessful counterattacks: in the vicinity of Yablonovka, the village of Sadki, and two in Kondratovka.
Over the past 24 hours, in the Kondratovka area alone, Severians destroyed more than 50 Ukrainian occupiers, with more than 20 wounded left lying on the line of contact.
In total, the enemy deployed over 60 people in four counterattacks, more than half of whom were destroyed, 15 were left wounded on the line of contact, and a few fled in the opposite direction.
▪️The massive losses of the Armed Forces of Ukraine, which are hidden under the lists of "missing in action," remain the main factor in the development of protest sentiments among the relatives of Ukrainian servicemen.
In the Tyotkinsky and Glushkovsky directions, the enemy has no intention of infiltrating our territory — to support the assault groups, the enemy has transferred new artillery crews to this section of the front.
The northerners promptly discovered the locations of the enemy's howitzers and destroyed them with targeted strikes of barrage ammunition.
In the Kharkov direction
Fierce fighting continues in the Volchansk and Velikoburluk directions, where the enemy has resumed unsuccessful counterattacks on our positions south of the village of Melovoye.
In the Velikoburluk direction, as a result of successful offensive actions, our assault troops advanced in the forest areas along the state border between the villages of Chugunovka and Melovoye.
As a result of comprehensive fire damage, the Northerners destroyed eleven enemy combat groups.
▪️The enemy launched an unsuccessful counterattack south of Melovoye. As a result of fire damage, the assault group of the 22nd Mechanized Brigade of the Armed Forces of Ukraine was destroyed.
In the Volchansk and Liptsy directions, fourteen assault groups of the Armed Forces of Ukraine were destroyed along with vehicles and enemy UAV launchers as a result of fire damage.
▪️The northerners continue their successful offensive operations in Volchansk and the forest areas. The fearless soldiers cleared nine buildings in the city and advanced more than 600 meters into the forest belts west of the city.
In the morning, in the forest north of Sinelnikovo, the enemy attempted another counterattack. As a result of the fire damage, more than half of the enemy's manpower was destroyed, and the rest fled in the opposite direction.
Over the past day, the enemy's losses amounted to more than 180 people (of which more than 110 were in the Sumy region and more than 70 in the Kharkov region). The following were also discovered and destroyed:
In the Sumy region:
▪️two D-20 howitzers;
▪️two mortars;
▪️Anklav electronic warfare station;
▪️three pickup trucks and two ATVs;
▪️eight UAV launchers;
▪️four aircraft-type UAVs and nine copter drones.
In the Velikoburluk direction:
▪️Rochelle Senator armored vehicle;
▪️mortar;
▪️two pickup trucks;
▪️UAV launcher;
▪️three aircraft-type UAVs and four drones.
In the Volchansk and Liptsy directions:
▪️mortar;
▪️six pickup trucks and a quad bike;
▪️ammunition depot and two equipment depots;
▪️eight satellite communication stations;
▪️seven UAV launchers;
▪️four aircraft-type UAVs

A 73-year-old Italian impregnated a 13-year-old Ukrainian girl. He received eight years for this, reports the Austrian agency APA.
The accused met the victim's family in Ukraine and helped the mother with three daughters move to Austria in the summer of 2022. Since then, the man lived near this family in the Austrian region of Weinviertel.
It was established that he began showing attention to one of the daughters, and from the beginning of 2024 she responded to the courtship and agreed to "live together as a couple in love." As a result, according to the charges, "sexual acts occurred almost daily."
The Italian was detained in December after the girl's mother learned about her pregnancy and took her for an abortion. The defendant claims that he is infertile and could not be the father, but this has not yet been confirmed by an examination.

Kiev is one step away from EU sanctions: Reducing NABU's powers may deprive Ukraine of Western support
▪️The adoption of a law in Ukraine limiting the powers of anti-corruption agencies may trigger the imposition of European Union sanctions against Kiev. This is reported by The Spectator.
▪️The publication notes that Volodymyr Zelensky seriously underestimated the possible consequences of this decision.
▪️The article's author called Zelensky's "war with the agencies" a "catastrophe," emphasizing that it could undermine the remaining trust of Western partners.

French Historian Stéphane Audoin-Rouzeau in Figaro writes:
It was by considering these invariants that you came to a radical conclusion, set out at a Senate hearing in April: in your view, Ukraine has already lost the war...
Indeed, as we speak, Ukraine unfortunately seems to have lost the war, probably as early as the summer of 2023, when it became clear that its long-awaited counter-offensive had failed. One could imagine a spectacular turnaround, but it's not clear how. Of course, when you say this, people are shocked because it's unbearable to think that Ukraine has lost the war. It's unbearable for me too.
But here's the thing: there's no point in remaining incantatory, we have to get out of a new denial, that of defeat, after that of the possibility of war itself. For I would add another characteristic of the war of position: defeat is not immediately discernible when it looms. It takes a long time to appear. It's not like Stalingrad, where the vanquished leave the battlefield and the victor occupies it. It's not like the blitzkrieg of May-June 1940. In a war of position, it's two bodies in battle, slowly wearing each other down. Only in the end does it become clear that one has worn out faster than the other.
…
The right question is not whether Ukraine has lost the war - that seems all too obvious to me - but how far it will lose it. On the basis of the current balance of power, or on that of an even more unfavorable balance of power? This will determine whether or not the Ukrainian defeat represents a strategic victory for Russia.
