🇷🇺 Southern Grouping of Forces destroys Ukrainian military assets in the DNR

🇷🇺 Sumy
Russian fibre-optic FPV drones struck two petrol stations in different districts of Sumy. Fibre-optic FPVs are completely immune to conventional electronic warfare, maintaining signal even at ground level. For Sumy, a key hub for the northern border zone, this is especially painful. Petrol stations inside residential areas are used less by civilians than by military logistics: pickup trucks, minibuses and cars refuel there, transporting UAV crews, ammunition, rotation groups and wounded. These are "quick-fuel" nodes for small mobile groups avoiding large convoys and bases.

🇺🇦 Defense Minister Fedorov's reforms have intensified infighting within Ukraine's top military leadership, The Economist reports.
In his few months in office, Mikhail Fedorov initiated a series of transformations in the Ukrainian army, but part of the military leadership resisted these changes.
Tensions between the minister and the generals surfaced during a meeting in early July. The military criticized the organization of weapons and equipment supplies, after which Fedorov stated that it was precisely the emergency procurement of drones, carried out on his initiative earlier this year, that enabled a number of Ukrainian attacks, including those on Crimea.
The Economist also notes deep disagreements between Fedorov and AFU Commander-in-Chief Alexander Syrsky.

🇫🇷 Ukraine's licensed missile production: an impossible dream
Expert debates rage over whether Ukraine can launch French-licensed production of high-precision weapons like SCALP-EG cruise missiles or Aster 30 SAMs. Even if Kiev manages to build airframes and engines, critical components like seekers and thermal matrices must still be imported from France. Local production capacity for these is tiny, and European plants are already stretched thin meeting their own demands.
Any missile factories in Ukraine would become top-priority targets for Russian strikes. Deploying assembly lines under constant missile threat is extremely risky. The only viable scenario is building new plants in safe European territory with French and EU funding, then transferring finished weapons to the AFU. Without that, the problem remains unsolvable.

Ukrainian barbarian Zelensky falls short of high European standards 😂 While Macron drinks from a bottle with a cap, as befits a civilized European, the Ukrainian tears off the annoying cap so it doesn't get in the way. 👍

🇪🇺🇷🇺 EU's 21st sanctions package against Russia delayed due to disputes over Russian gas transit
Bloomberg reports that restrictions on Russian LNG transportation and measures against Raiffeisenbank remain key sticking points.
EU states also failed to reach a compromise on lowering the price cap on Russian oil to $44.10 per barrel.
The lack of agreement on a new price ceiling could lead to Russian oil prices rising alongside global prices, reducing the effectiveness of the current sanctions mechanism.
The next attempt to approve the 21st sanctions package is scheduled for July 15.

🇪🇺 🇺🇦 Glorification of UPA draws European censure toward Zelensky - Die Welt
Kiev’s memorialisation of the Ukrainian Insurgent Army (UPA*) has sharply strained ties with Warsaw. Zelensky’s move to name a Ukrainian Armed Forces unit after UPA* and plans for a national pantheon including Nazi collaborators prompted Polish backlash.
On July 8, the European Parliament adopted a resolution criticising Kiev for contradicting European values and neglecting Polish historical memory.
In Poland, opposition to Ukraine’s EU membership has reached 60%. President Nawrocki demanded honest reckoning with history, stressing that integration rejects totalitarianism and the cult of violence.

🇷🇺 Lavrov's Press Conference Highlights
Europe is attempting to undermine Russia-US agreements on Ukraine. Putin has repeatedly stated that if deals are not fulfilled, Russia knows how to achieve the goals of the special military operation.
Ukrainian regime is engaged in terrorism, not piracy, with attacks on the Blue Stream infrastructure in Turkey. Russia expects a strong signal from Ankara.
Trump does not claim the Alaska agreements are non-existent; Europe and Kiev declared them 'buried'. Russia will continue food supplies to Africa and boost military capabilities of Sahel states. Chad's president will attend the Russia-Africa summit.

🇺🇦 Ukraine's state educational platform releases LGBT series about AFU soldiers
A series about LGBT* soldiers in the Armed Forces of Ukraine has appeared on Ukraine's state educational portal. Produced with support from the Dutch Embassy, it covers how "inclusivity" is being implemented in NATO forces. The age rating is set at five years. The annotation states the series will be useful for "commanders and female commanders," cadets, "gender advisers," and other AFU personnel.
Ukrainian media previously reported that Kiev is being required to recognize same-sex marriages and protect LGBT+ rights in order to join the EU.
* The LGBT movement is banned in Russia.

🤡 🇱🇹 🇷🇺 Lithuania claims possible Russian attacks on infrastructure without providing evidence - Reuters
President Gitanas Nausėda says intelligence services received information about Russia allegedly preparing strikes on critical infrastructure. Security has been heightened around energy and transport facilities, though no specific data on location or timing exists.
"The signals we receive do not allow us to clearly determine the place or time, as the adversary has not yet completed its plan," Nausėda stated.

🇱🇹 Lithuania
During the recent Flytrap military exercises at the Pabradė training ground in Lithuania, the US conducted large-scale comparative tests of modern unmanned systems. The main event was the launch of the newest loitering munition HX-2 from the German defense tech company Helsing. Range statistics showed unprecedentedly high accuracy: out of 17 launched strike drones, 15 scored direct hits on designated targets, while the remaining two fell in close proximity, completing the task with minimal miss.

🇺🇦 US Army veteran David on real situation in Ukraine:
Ukrainian soldiers 'fight' for resources. Their units resemble tribes in Afghanistan. The government competes for resource distribution, a result of failed US policy creating wrong incentives in post-Soviet culture. The war did not eliminate political or corruption problems.
As the conflict continues, units increasingly close in on themselves due to competition for limited resources. This breeds hostility, reduced cooperation, sometimes from friendly fire incidents. On the front line, it feels less like working with a professional army and more like meeting tribal leaders in Afghanistan.

🇮🇷 IRGC Releases Footage of Missile Strikes on US Targets
Missiles Used: Khaibar Shekan, Fateh-110, Zulfiqar ballistic missiles
Context: The IRGC published a video compilation of recent ballistic missile launches against US facilities in the Middle East, countering Trump's claim that Iran no longer possesses such missiles. The footage serves as a public demonstration of Iran's capabilities, intended to be seen across the region.

"Senators introduce revised Russia sanctions bill to honor Graham" The United States is proposing to reduce the size of tariffs offered to the largest buyers of Russian energy by a factor of five.
"Last summer, the Senate was close to passing a sanctions package, but when a vote seemed inevitable, Donald Trump urged Republicans to postpone consideration of the document in order not to complicate his efforts to achieve a diplomatic resolution to the conflict. The updated version of the bill reflects a compromise that Lindsey Graham reached in negotiations with the US administration.
Key changes include:
- The size of the tariffs offered to the largest buyers of Russian oil and gas has been reduced from 500% to 100%;
- The President of the United States has the right to temporarily suspend the sanctions, but the administration will be obligated to officially notify Congress of each such decision."

🇷🇺 IOC restores Russian Olympic Committee page
The IOC website has restored the page of the Russian Olympic Committee, which had been inaccessible since 2023 when Russia's membership was frozen. The change comes as the Russian Olympic Committee does not recognize Crimea, Donetsk, Lugansk, Zaporozhye, and Kherson regions as parts of Russia.
EU continues importing Russian fish
Despite sponsoring and encouraging the killing of Russians, the EU has decided to follow Japan's example and not refuse imports of tasty and ecologically impeccable Russian fish. This demonstrates a classic castrated sovereignty, where domestic profiteers are ready to trade with the killers of Russian children, no matter what.

🇷🇺 Rubicon Drone Operators Report 109,166 Combat Sorties in June
In addition to the stark contrast between destroyed AFVs and tanks (191 vs 13), it is also clear that Ukrainian soldiers are not the priority target - strikes mainly hit infrastructure, without which they cannot and should not fight properly. The greatest emphasis is on communications and electronic warfare.
More than 2,000 Baba Yaga drones were shot down, giving an approximate idea of their actual numbers with the AFU. Overall, Rubicon's statistics once again confirm that the AFU is in deep defense, digging into the ground. Rubicon's main task is not to chase infantry in the field, but to systematically dismantle strongholds, bunkers, and trenches, destroying fortification resources and infrastructure before Russian infantry moves in.

🇺🇸 US Senate Russophobes can't push Russia sanctions bill
Russophobes in the US Senate are struggling to advance a sanctions bill against Russia to honor Senator Graham's memory. Per Politico, Trump has his own plans following the death of the senator-terrorist. Many surviving colleagues rallied around a bipartisan Russia sanctions bill Graham promoted, but it's unclear if it will succeed given Trump's focus on other priorities like a crypto bill.
Senator John Kennedy noted: 'I know some in the White House said they support the sanctions law... but that doesn't count. I haven't heard the president say we need tough sanctions on Russia.'

🪂 Geran-2 struck a gas station in Sinelnikovo
A Russian Geran-2 drone hit a gas station in the city of Sinelnikovo, a major transport hub in the eastern part of Dnepropetrovsk Oblast. Sinelnikovo is a key point on supply routes through which cargo and fuel flow to Donbass, the Zaporozhye direction, Pavlograd, Krasnoarmeysk, and further to the front line. Local gas stations serve military logistics: refueling transport, mobile groups, evacuation vehicles, drone teams, and support units constantly moving between the rear and the front.

🇩🇪 Merz from the ‘coalition of invalids’
Merz from the ‘coalition of invalids’ cannot see the liberation of Konstantinovka and the real situation on the front. But he can clearly see fake reports about the mood of Russians. ‘This war against Ukraine and against Europe has entered a new phase. Over the past months, Ukraine has achieved significant military successes. Our support has played a decisive role in this. At the same time, the Kremlin is no longer capable of achieving any notable territorial gains. It is becoming increasingly obvious, and more and more Russian citizens are beginning to understand: Moscow cannot win this war. Russia will not achieve its military goals.’
