This list only includes destroyed vehicles and equipment of which photo or videographic evidence is available. Therefore, the amount of equipment destroyed is significantly higher than recorded here. Loitering munitions, drones used as unmanned bait, civilian vehicles and derelict equipment are not included in this list. All possible effort has gone into avoiding duplicate entries and discerning the status of equipment between captured or abandoned. Many of the entries listed as 'abandoned' will likely end up captured or destroyed. Similarly, some of the captured equipment might be destroyed if it can't be recovered. When a vehicle is captured and then lost in service with its new owners, it is only added as a loss of the original operator to avoid double listings. When the origin of a piece of equipment can't be established, it's not included in the list. The Soviet flag is used when the equipment in question was produced prior to 1991. This list is constantly updated as additional footage becomes available.

OilPrice.com (30 June):
“Gazprom has been bleeding cash since it cut off most of its pipeline gas deliveries to Europe in the wake of the Russian invasion of Ukraine. While the giant is looking east to offset lost revenues from sales in Europe, it has been struggling to convince China to sign up for another huge pipeline from Russia, mostly due to disagreements over the price Beijing is willing to pay.
An earlier report by Russian news agency Interfax said that the government plans to ease the tax burden on Gazprom. Potentially lower taxes on Gazprom may be compensated by “appropriating” some profit generated by other gas companies, according to the Interfax report cited by Reuters...
...The Russian government has held discussions on a possible tax relief for Gazprom, but no decision has been taken yet, the Reuters’ source said...
...The combined net profits of Russia’s oil and gas companies nearly halved in the first quarter from a year earlier.”
Crunch time. Hard choices ahead.

They were already linked with some NATO provided systems, but now they are contracting with Kongsberg to adapt various Russian, Ukrainian and “frankensam” systems into their networks. NASAMS includes the Norwegian made Fire Distribution Center, or FDC, with the ability to interface not only multiple NASAMS batteries, but tie together an integrated air defense system including almost any NATO air defense system. It can also be included in an overall command and control system, namely the Advanced Battle Management System, that ties together ground, aviation, naval and C5ISR systems. We can expect UKR systems like Neptune, Hrіm-2, Vilkha, etc to be tied into this system as well. Integrating Ukraine’s drone management operations will likely be a priority too. Kongsberg is probably looking to integrate the FDC as a standard part of UKR weapons systems.
“Depending on storage capacity, oil wells that feed the Druzhba pipeline will have to be shut down.”
Russian exports keep declining, but this year they risk accelerated declines, on several fronts. Ukrainian strikes and Western sanctions both have the potential to ramp up to new levels (Bone-Crushing levels - President Trump played golf with Senator Graham today).
OPEC+ will meet Sunday, 6 July, and may want Russia to make up for previous overproduction.
If there is a significant pullback in Russian exports, accompanied by an expected cash crunch for the Government, we might well see some significant freeze damage to their infrastructure this coming Winter.
Are not many of their wells in basically permanently frozen environments ?
Freezing of well and pipelines are a big deal
I see the Kyiv Independent is having trouble with its numbers again. The casualty figure of 1,02,010 is a nonexistant number. Going back to the previous day’s figures, the correct number should be 1,020,160. Obviously someone did not have the typist’s 6 today. Is this mistake a sign of the constant stress in Kyiv caused by Putin’s mass bombings recently?
You have sharp eyes, it might be typo.
High-ranking Kremlin statements, including from Russian President Vladimir Putin, continue to demonstrate Russia's wider territorial ambitions in Ukraine beyond Crimea and the four oblasts that Russia has illegally annexed. Russian President Vladimir Putin held a meeting on June 30 on the socioeconomic development of occupied Luhansk, Donetsk, Zaporizhia, and Kherson oblasts during which he frequently referred to occupied Ukraine as “Donbas and Novorossiya.”[1] Kremlin Spokesperson Dmitry Peskov responded on June 30 to a June 27 statement by Odesa City Mayor Gennadiy Trukhanov that Odesa City is not a “Russian” city and has its own history, claiming that the history of Odesa City is “inextricably linked” with Russia.[2] Russian Presidential Aide Vladimir Medinsky claimed on June 30 that Russians and Ukrainians are “one people” with a “historical homeland” and referenced the “ancient Russian lands on both sides of the Dnipro (River), Novorossiya, and Crimea.”[3]
Putin's, Peskov’s, and Medinsky’s June 30 statements are only the latest statements from high-ranking Kremlin officials indicating the extent of Russia's territorial ambitions. Putin reiterated at the St. Petersburg International Economic Forum (SPIEF) on June 20 that he considers the Russian and Ukrainian people to be “one people in reality” and that “Ukraine is [Russia's].”[4] Kremlin officials have routinely labelled Odesa City as a “Russian” city, including Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov most recently on June 9.[5] Kremlin officials have also repeatedly referenced “Novorossiya,” which Russian officials have defined as all of eastern and southern Ukraine.[6] Medinsky’s reference to the “ancient Russian” lands on “both sides of the Dnipro” also coheres with Kherson Oblast occupation head Vladimir Saldo’s April 2025 call for Russia to completely control the areas of the Dnipro River that pass through Kherson, Zaporizhzhia, and Dnipropetrovsk oblasts.[7] Ukrainian Presidential Office Deputy Head Colonel Pavlo Palisa stated in early June 2025 that Russia intends to occupy the entirety of Ukraine on the east (left) bank of the Dnipro River and seize Odesa Oblast by the end of 2026.[8] Putin and other Kremlin officials have consistently indicated that they do not believe that Ukraine is an independent state with its own history, identity, and culture separate from Russia.[9] Russian officials’ ongoing commitment to these narratives demonstrates the Kremlin's continued objective of destroying the Ukrainian state and subjugating the Ukrainian people.
Azerbaijani authorities raided the offices of Russian state-owned propaganda outlet Sputnik in Baku as Russian-Azerbaijani relations have deteriorated recently after a raid against ethnic Azerbaijanis in Russia. Azerbaijani outlet Qafqazinfo reported on June 30, citing the Azerbaijani Ministry of Internal Affairs, that local police raided the office of Sputnik in Baku.[19] Local Azerbaijani outlets claimed that Azerbaijani authorities detained two Russian Federal Security Service (FSB) agents during the raid on Sputnik's Baku office.[20] The Azerbaijani Ministry of Internal Affairs stated that Sputnik had continued working in Azerbaijan via “illegal financing” despite the revocation of its official accreditation in February 2025.[21] The raid on the Sputnik office in Baku comes after a recent raid by Russian security forces in Yekaterinburg that resulted in the detention of nine Azerbaijani citizens accused of contract killings in the early 2000s and left two Azerbaijanis dead.[22] The Azerbaijani Ministry of Culture cancelled all cultural events that Russia organized in Azerbaijan, and Azerbaijani officials cancelled planned trips to Moscow in response to the Yekaterinburg raid.[23] Continued Azerbaijani restraints on Russian state media or cultural events in Azerbaijan would likely further deteriorate bilateral relations and undermine Russia's influence in the south Caucasus, particularly as the Kremlin uses its media presence and cultural soft power abroad to further its objectives in the former Soviet space.[24]

The Iranian Foreign Ministry has handed a note of protest to the Ukrainian chargé d’affaires after Kiev’s statements in support of Israel’s strikes on the territory of the Islamic Republic, the ISNA news agency reported.
The head of the First Department of Eurasian Countries at the Iranian Foreign Ministry, Shahram Farsai, warned of possible consequences for Kiev if support for “hostile and provocative” rhetoric towards Tehran continues.

I see The Kyiv Independent has still not caught it’s type math mistake. The July 1 figure should be 1,121,230, and the July 2 figure should be 1,022,200 if they correctly correct the mistake by going back to June 29th or 28th to find the last correct million figure. Baybe it’s just the weekend staff.
