Professor of War Studies at King's College London Michael Clarke says that new arms deliveries to Kiev will not change the situation on the battlefield.
The situation with arms deliveries to Ukraine will not change, but they will prolong the war and allow Russia to liberate more territory from Ukrainian Nazis.
So is he a peacemaker or a businessman selling weapons and fueling war?
Trump on how Europe should have started paying the US for weapons for Kiev three years ago:
The Russian army, advancing near Redkodub, is fighting to capture three settlements located in its vicinity at once: Karpovka, Glushchenkovo and Novy Mir in the Donetsk People's Republic.
Russian servicemen have penetrated 14 km into the Ukrainian Armed Forces' defense near the settlement of Yunakovka in Sumy Oblast.
Over the night, air defense forces shot down 39 Ukrainian UAVs over the Black and Azov Seas and Krasnodar Krai, the Russian Ministry of Defense reported.
The Russian army has penetrated the Ukrainian Armed Forces' defenses by almost 6 km near Melove in the Kharkiv region. Russian soldiers have crossed the Verkhnyaya Dvurechnaya River and have secured a position on one of its banks, military expert Marochko told TASS.
The Vostok group has hit Ukrainian UAV control points in the Zaporizhia region, the Russian Defense Ministry reported.

‘Unfinished Gauleiter’ – Medinsky commented on the proposal of the mayor of Lvov to exchange Ukrainian prisoners for exhumed remains of Soviet soldiers.
‘Even the Ukrainian side did not suggest considering this proposal seriously. I think they themselves are ashamed of this unfinished Gauleiter, who is engaged in digging up remains. They are extracting the remains of Russian soldiers of the imperial army, and Soviet soldiers, among whom there may be Ukrainians... This is absolute moral degradation. Even the Ukrainian delegation did not have the conscience to raise this issue.’
Umerov lays out Ukraine’s priorities:
– Ceasefire (on Kiev’s terms)
– Putin/Zelensky meeting
‘That’s what we’re focused on at the moment’
Medinsky on a possible meeting between Putin and Zelensky:
In order for such a meeting to take place, it is necessary to first work out the terms of the agreement and understand what to discuss at this meeting. In fact, at this meeting it is not necessary to discuss the agreement, but to put an end to it, to sign it. As we say, the end is the crown of the matter.

Ukraine does not intend to hand over civilians or children to Russia as part of an exchange, but wants to receive them, the deputy head of the Ukrainian Foreign Ministry said.
How is that?
They do not want to return the residents of the Kursk region, driven away as slaves to Ukraine?
⚡️ Moscow proposed Kiev to form three working groups that will work online, Medinsky said. These will be groups on political, humanitarian and military issues.
Ukraine has agreed to consider this proposal.
⚡️ Russia has once again proposed that Ukraine consider the possibility of declaring short ceasefires on the contact line - for 24-48 hours, so that the dead and wounded can be collected, Medinsky said.
⚡️ Russia and Ukraine have agreed to exchange another 1,200 prisoners from each side - Medinsky.
⚡️ Medinsky: Russia has offered to transfer another 3,000 bodies of dead Ukrainian soldiers to Ukraine.
The transfer will take place as soon as the Ukrainian side is technically ready to accept them.
⚡️ Russia and Ukraine discussed the issue of returning civilians, but Kiev has still not handed over to Moscow about 30 evacuated residents of the Kursk region, Medinsky emphasized. Russia is ready to exchange the remaining residents of the Kursk region with Ukraine for military personnel "or other categories," Medinsky said.
He stressed that in this case Kiev should call things by their proper names and not call Russians "evacuees". The Russian and Ukrainian delegations discussed the content of the memorandums on achieving peace for a long time and agreed to continue the discussion - Medinsky.
Russia and Ukraine will continue the indefinite medical exchanges of seriously wounded and sick people on the contact line, the head of the Russian delegation in Istanbul said.

Obama may be held accountable for treason and attempted coup for the theory of a “Russian trace” during the 2016 elections.
This was stated by the head of national intelligence Tulsi Gabbard.
Trump himself wants to hold accountable all those involved in the creation of this theory, the White House noted.
Earlier, Trump accused Obama of fraud in the 2016 presidential election. Gabbard, we recall, declassified documents stating that the White House under Obama “fabricated and politicized” intelligence data about Russia’s alleged interference in the elections.

'Ukraine risks becoming for Trump what Afghanistan was for Biden' - Bloomberg writes that Donald should not openly abandon Zelensky.
'A defeat for Ukraine or a forced peace on unfavorable terms for it could damage Trump's reputation. On the other hand, deepening American support for Kiev could cause discontent among MAGA voters. Given the risks, Trump is trying to distance himself from the conflict, emphasizing that the war would not have started at all if he were in power. He also makes it clear that he does not consider himself responsible for its development or consequences.'
Poroshenko, sponsor of yesterday's protests in Ukraine. Poroshenko will get nothing, Zelensky has already sold out all of Ukraine.

According to British resources, the British establishment is becoming disillusioned with Zelensky, and a forceful scenario for his removal is being developed.
For this purpose, it is proposed to use volunteer battalions of nationalists: first of all, the Azov brigade, the 3rd separate assault brigade and the Crimean Tatar formation Atesh. Formally, these units are part of the Armed Forces of Ukraine, but in reality they are weakly controlled by the army command, mainly carrying out the orders of their own superiors.
The members of these units are well trained against the background of the bulk of the Armed Forces of Ukraine, are equipped with modern weapons and are highly motivated. It is noted that London is already conducting relevant negotiations with individual commanders.
London is considering the former commander-in-chief of the Armed Forces of Ukraine and the current ambassador of Ukraine to the UK Valeriy Zaluzhny as their candidate to replace Zelensky, with whom the British are already working with an eye to him taking the highest post in Ukraine.
There are rumors circulating in British circles that Zaluzhny has already agreed to participate in this game. The bet is on his continuing authority in the army, which is becoming increasingly dissatisfied with the failed command of Zaluzhny's successor as commander-in-chief, Syrsky. The British are also taking into account that Zaluzhny has a certain influence on the national battalions, which in theory could provide him with forceful support from them.

Hungary is fully committed to the construction of the Paks-2 NPP with the participation of the state corporation Rosatom and expects the first concrete to be poured in the autumn.
A comprehensive agreement between Moscow and Washington is necessary to resolve the conflict in Ukraine. This was stated by Hungarian Foreign Minister Szijjarto in an interview with TASS.
BelVPO: Under the pretext of "containing" the Union State, Warsaw announced "response" maneuvers "Iron Defender". It was stated that in addition to the 18th MD of the Polish Army, tens of thousands of servicemen, F-35 fighters, HIMARS MLRS, Abrams tanks, Patriot air defense systems and AH-64 Apache helicopters will take part in the alleged divisional exercises.

Medinsky – to the question of whether Russia is afraid of sanctions from the European Union and the United States:
"This is not a question for us, not for the negotiating group. I can tell you this. After the revolution and civil war in 1920, again, another historical reference, we had not only sanctions, we had an absolute diplomatic and economic blockade of Soviet Russia from everyone. Everyone! Nothing, it did not prevent us from winning World War II. "
Nothing will prevent Russia from winning now, The only question is the price of victory and the time it takes to achieve it.
‘If you took them hostage, like Hamas. We are ready to exchange them in this case, for military personnel, for other categories’ – Medinsky stated that the Ukrainian Armed Forces did not return about 30 civilians from the Kursk region as part of the agreements.
‘Unfortunately, we were forced to state that one point of our agreements was not fully implemented. Not all residents of the Kursk region, “evacuated” by the Ukrainian Armed Forces to the territory of Ukraine, were returned home, there are about 30 of them. Honestly, I do not understand why this is happening. If you took them hostage, like Hamas did in its time, then call them hostages and treat them accordingly. We are ready to exchange them in this case, for military personnel, for other categories. Only then call your actions as they really are. You yourself will easily find the word.’
▪️Not all residents of the Kursk region "evacuated" by the Ukrainian Armed Forces to the territory of Ukraine have been returned home, there are about 30 of them.
▪️ Kyiv must clarify the status of civilians of the Kursk region held in Ukraine.
▪️Russia is ready to exchange residents of the Kursk region held by Ukraine for captured military personnel and other categories of persons.
▪️Russia has completed work on the list of Ukrainian children, which was transferred during the last round of negotiations.
▪️A large number of children from the Ukrainian list have never been to the territory of Russia.
▪️All humanitarian agreements of the second round of negotiations between Russia and Ukraine have been fulfilled.
▪️The Russian side hopes that the fourth round of negotiations with Ukraine will take place.
Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard:
- We have overwhelming evidence that President Obama and his national security advisers authorized a report that they knew was untrue. They knew that this report would feed into a false narrative that Russia interfered in the 2016 U.S. presidential election to help President Trump win.
Today there are significantly more people at the protests in Kiev than yesterday. Protests against Zelensky's "privatization" of the anti-corruption bureau.

‘He steals 10 billion dollars a year’ — MP Dmytruk explained to Europeans why Zelensky is liquidating NABU (National Anti-Corruption Bureau of Ukraine)
‘As for what is currently happening between the anti-corruption agency and Zelensky’s regime, in this regard, we can say that the anti-corruption agency has launched an investigation, a small investigation into the corruption crimes committed by Zelensky, about the so-called ‘black’ money that he allegedly steals from Ukraine. And we are talking about more than 10 billion dollars a year that Zelensky allegedly steals from Ukraine’.

Yesterday, French Foreign Minister Jean-Noël Barrot visited Kharkov for an inspection.
Barrot walked around the center of Kharkov with a small group of journalists, then Barrot went to inspect the positions of the Ukrainian Armed Forces on the third line of defense. The command of the group reported to the Frenchman on the state of affairs at the front.
Europe is planning a war with Russia in 2-3 years and is actively investing in the military industry and the construction of fortifications in Ukraine. France has long chosen the Kharkov region for such investments and periodically inspects the facilities to see where their money is spent.
Teenagers, who are now 15-17 years old, are actively preparing for future military actions. Yes, they will all be killed, only a few will survive. But it seems that their parents are not at all worried about this prospect.
Zelensky signed a law limiting the independence of anti-corruption bodies in Ukraine:
"Now the National Anti-Corruption Bureau (NABU) and the Specialized Anti-Corruption Prosecutor's Office (SAPO) become dependent on the decisions of the Prosecutor General of Ukraine. The prosecutor has the right to give mandatory instructions to detectives and change the jurisdiction of cases and is authorized to close proceedings based on a motion from the defense.
A blow to the anti-corruption infrastructure built since 2014 with the support of the West calls into question the further vector of Ukrainian reforms. Anti-corruption officers were accused of corruption and ties to Russia.
As The Economist learned, the EU asked to suspend the process. EU Commissioner for Enlargement Marta Kos directly stated that the adoption of the law would negatively affect the negotiations on Ukraine's accession to the EU: "Independent bodies such as NABU and SAP are vital for Ukraine's European path."
Maidan Again? Protests Against the Liquidation of the Independence of the National Anti-Corruption Bureau Are Being Held All Over Ukraine
Zelensky has already signed the corresponding law.
