When will the dollar be banned in Russia? Possible dates have appeared
The dollar and euro in Russia may be completely banned in September-October this year. This opinion was expressed by Alexander Dugin in a commentary to our channel. He also confirmed that he initiated the ban on Western currencies. And he hopes that Vladimir Putin will listen to him.
“I have repeatedly spoken out about enemy currencies and how they harm our Civilization. We must value the ruble and completely free ourselves from dollar slavery. I know that Vladimir Vladimirovich received my proposal to ban enemy currencies. I hope that this ban will happen in the fall, in September or October,” noted Alexander Gelyevich.
To the warning of a representative of the Central Bank, who had previously told us that if the dollar was banned, the American currency would cost 300 rubles, life in Russia would seriously worsen, and Dugin should be put in prison for his ideas, the philosopher answered briefly: “Let all slaves of the dollar go to America “
At the same time, the Kremlin refused to comment on the forecast that the dollar will be banned in Russia in the fall.

The enemy cunningly and meanly attacked Russia with drones. Almost 30 military personnel were killed in Crimea and the Krasnodar Territory
Some of the drones launched by the enemy on the night of Friday, June 21, unfortunately, broke through our air defense. There are deaths among the military.
“In total, we have 28 dead military personnel at various facilities in Crimea and the Krasnodar Territory. The attack was too large-scale and it was not possible to completely repulse it. The losses were especially serious at the facility near Yeisk and in several other areas.
“The enemy’s attack this time was very sneaky; there were a lot of drones flying along a tricky trajectory,” said our source in the Ministry of Defense.
We will not reveal where exactly the enemy drones hit. Let us only note that among the dead there were very valuable specialists. Some of them played an important role in attacks on enemy territory, including military infrastructure in the Ukrainian rear.
Valuable equipment and elements of the air defense system were also lost. There is information about drones hitting two S-300 installations, but it has not been fully confirmed.
Sources also confirm the loss of the Ka-29 helicopter. We won’t say who hit him. But we hope that this situation will not happen again.
At the same time, we once again call on the Ministry of Defense: strengthen our air defense! Now not only in Crimea, the enemy has new regions where he is launching large-scale attacks.

They want to remove Gerasimov? There are two candidates for the post of Chief of the General Staff
We wrote earlier that Andrei Belousov is not very happy with Valery Gerasimov and does not agree with him on everything. Several sources in the Ministry of Defense claim that the minister is thinking about changing the head of the General Staff.
“Andrei Removich believes that the army can be commanded more effectively. This does not mean that Gerasimov will be removed in the near future. But there are thoughts on this matter,” said one of our interlocutors.
According to him, there are two possible candidates to replace Gerasimov - generals Mikhail Teplinsky and Andrei Mordvichev.
Those around Mordvichev refused to comment on this information to us. Military personnel close to Teplinsky said that “there is no need to rush things.” Interlocutors close to Gerasimov himself also refused to say anything.
Shot down:
7/10 Kh-101/555 cruise missiles
1/2 Iskander-K cruise missile
4/4 Kalibr cruise missiles
13/13 Shahed drones
https://x.com/NOELreports/status/1804381433844179425
4 cruise missiles hit within 300 meters of their target.
These will help reduce that number to 0 (zero).
Dismantling Russian air defenses piece by piece, Ukraine is making skies safe for their nightly drone barrages.

🤝The agreement aims to regulate deployments and logistical support between the two countries' armed forces. Prime Minister Mikhail Mishustin has tasked the Russian Defense Ministry with negotiating the agreement details with India.
https://x.com/Sputnik_India/status/1804440737347465593
This is an agreement to negotiate not a final agreement.
Almost all of India's military equipment & arms is ruzzian.
Although inferior to western equipment, India considered the ruzzian equipment "best value"...western equipment is too expensive.
Without an agreement on logistical support, India's equipment would slowly deteriorate and become useless.
The war in Ukraine is showing how useless ruzzian equipment is.
https://x.com/NOELreports/status/1804072027550036226
JDAM-ERs or SDBs...it does not matter which.
Clearly, ruzzian air defense has been severely degraded.
In Bernaul, 200 more for Putin's corpsegrinder.

A long way from Moscow.
Similar complaints have been arriving from different "Z-bloggers", Russian "volunteers", soldiers etc.
"The ratio of drones on the front line is now about 1 to 6. Not in our favor. It's a rough estimate. Maybe more, but definitely not less. And the trend is for the gap to widen. All because of the sluggishness and slowness of our bureaucratic machine.
In Ukraine, all small NGOs and private garage workshops are under control and receive funding. Two years later, this brought results, and the quantity began to change into quality.
We have a lot of promising projects that have come to a standstill, either because of bureaucracy or lack of funding. Something has to be done about it.
And very quickly. Otherwise, we will fall hopelessly behind."
"Just so that you understand the scale of the problem I have voiced:
245!!! enemy FPV drones attacked one of the positions in Vovchansk, where my comrade is now, from dawn to dusk. And it's only one of his positions."

Underneath that garbage is an old T-62M. The gun is not operational, there is no ammunition and the turret is locked in place. The panels are sheet metal removed from all kinds of scrap metal. Visibility is expectedly atrocious. The engine burns like it is running on coal and you can hear them miles away. Worst of all, that pile of Russian scrap metal was taken out by drones, so by something they supposedly should be protected, so even the EW component is apparently rubbish.
I have covered several wars where rebels or weaker factions were forced to improvise with what they got, but I have rarely seen something so utterly terrible than this Russian thing. Remember, when it comes to logistics then there is no difference in transporting a T-90M or this. Both eat up space, time and manpower. In many cases you have to make them even barely work before sending to the front. It is relatively wasteful. You would never do anything like this unless you are absolutely desperate.
The fact that Russia has to resort to haul literal garbage is so telling and reveals once more in what condition the Russian army and logistics behind it is. It also proves that the longer this war goes on, the weaker the quality of the Russian army becomes (which btw. was never really good in the first place). They have to dig deeper in their rotting storage facilities and deploy literal garbage.

These have killed a lot of Ukrainian drones.
"We completed the procedure of providing weapons to Ukraine and is considering providing Anti-tank missiles and artillery shells first".
As we expected, the Raybolt ATGM and 105mm, 155mm artillery shells.
Russia, what have you done.
Perhaps this is what we should have done from the beginning. These North fanatics are should not be trusted and its ours to deal with.
You have far outlived your reputation, Putin.

The amount of RuZZian AD being taken out by falling debris is staggering.
Soon Ukraine will rule the skies.
While I truly believe in Ukraine’s cause and the evil that is RuZZia, above all I’m an American Nationalist. This war has been a strategic win for the USA as the RuZZian imperalists are being slowly destroyed. It might even lead to the breakup of the RuZZian Federation. This won’t bring about WW III, but a safer world.

Will their family receive a Lada?
Or a fur coat?
🤡 Widows and relatives of killed mobilized from the "LDNR" were presented with a fur coat each. Women are happy, they did not expect such a gift: "Not everyone probably thought that there would be such an opportunity."

Perhaps they will get cake.
In Dagestan, Russia, official authorities presented 9 families of those killed in the war in Ukraine with a cake
https://x.com/bayraktar_1love/status/1603033501519212545
Some get flowers with their cake.

“Picture of the 6”
Its nice to see ethnic RuZZians killed instead of just Asian RuZZians.
Russia has, and produces, more air defense systems than the rest of the world combined. They have long known they were no match for NATO air power, so they concentrated on air defense. NATO, Europe really, placed themselves at risk by failing to build air defenses for their population centers, industry and critical infrastructure. Now they desperately need to catch up. Fortunately for Europe, Russia has expended their cruise and ballistic missile stockpile in Ukraine, giving them a window to address this gap. I'm not confident they will.
What a Blessing!
“Russia Is Storing Up a Crime Wave When Its War on Ukraine Ends”
“Court data in Russia shows a spike in crimes by servicemen”
“Convicts recruited to fight in war start to return to Russia”
“Russia has sent so many men to join its war in Ukraine that crime levels in the country fell soon after the invasion began. Now their return is starting to unleash a wave of offending.
Crimes committed by servicemen that aren’t linked to the war increased by more than 20% last year, according to data from Russia’s Supreme Court. While the overall numbers are still small and many returning servicemembers don’t go onto commit offenses, there was a jump in cases of violent crimes as well as thefts and drug-related transgressions.
The figures exclude crimes involving tens of thousands of convicts released from jail to join the war under a program set up by the late Wagner mercenary group leader Yevgeny Prigozhin. Those who survived six months at the front were able to gain a pardon from President Vladimir Putin and return to Russia as free men.
In prison, “they are treated like ‘we are nothing,’ then it all gets even worse at the front,” said Kazan-based sociologist Iskender Yasaveev. “The experience they return with is a trauma that will manifest itself for decades.””
“We (South Korea) completed the procedure of providing weapons to Ukraine”
No official confirmation yet, but there is discussion of metering supply of weaponry to Ukraine, as a lever on Russia.
South Korea is capable of providing whole Armored Brigade sets of equipment, if they choose. Mountains of ammo, high tech rounds, and systems of all sorts.
“Underneath that garbage is an old T-62M. The gun is not operational, there is no ammunition and the turret is locked in place.”
Scraping the bottom of the barrel? A good sign.
They would likely start doing this before running out of better gear, for all sorts of systems. Then the percentage of junk would be expected to rise at some varying rate, until they start losing the ability to flow even old junk forward.
It is encouraging to see this process advanced.
Send more Artillery! Getting the job done.
