In fact, what we got instead was some kind of a statement that there would be a decision, an announcement perhaps, sometime next year as to the nature of what these security guarantees would be.

Thank you
A blessing indeed
It’s inevitable and Ruzzia can’t do a damn thing about it.

I am Ukrainian. My country has been invaded by Russia. In this video I will tell you what happened on the five hundred fifth day of the war.
Day 505: Jul 13
Today there are a lot of updates from the east.
Here, Ukrainians finally opened the third axis of attack, assaulted Soledar’s northern flank, and advanced by more than 2 km. Last time I told you that Ukrainians had gathered a powerful group of forces in this region, whose main goal was to slice off the bridgehead that Russian forces developed west of Soledar and set conditions for the encirclement of Soledar and Bakhmut.
The FIRST attack was conducted by the elements of the 54th Mechanized Brigade. Since Russians were controlling the hills, they managed to identify Ukrainians forces well ahead, which is why Ukrainians faced Russian artillery fire while barely reaching Rozdolivka. The assault unit consisted of 6 armored cars with the support of drone operators.
Halfway there, Russians started firing anti-tank guided missiles at the Ukrainian column. Soon, a multiple-launch rocket system, Grad, made a salvo. Nonetheless, all cars remained intact. After reaching the lake, the Ukrainian assault unit did the first split, and one group of soldiers assaulted the first Russian positions while all others continued movement towards the tree line.
The tree line is 1.8 km long and has multiple strong points, each of which must be assaulted and taken. The Ukrainian assault unit suppressed the enemy fire with machine guns and dropped off some troops to the trenches while others moved on to assault the next one. Soon, Ukrainians reached the last Russian position in this tree line and successfully assumed control over the strong point, while all cars immediately withdrew to escape the enemy artillery fire.
The SECOND attack was conducted slightly west of the previous one, and it was also highly successful. As a result, Ukrainians established a 4 km wide and 2.5 km deep bridgehead, undermining Russian defenses in Yakovlivka. And this is not surprising because Yakovlivka is the most important settlement in the region.
If we look at the topographic map, we can see that Yakovlivka is located on the hill, and even though it is not exactly located on the ridge, it is located high enough to determine who controls the whole region. As we can see, Ukrainians established several toeholds that secure them access to the local heights and allow them to assault the next Russian defenses on the line from a strong position.
Simultaneously, by developing this bridgehead, Ukrainians put Russians in Mykolaivka and Krasnopolivka in operational encirclement because now they control all the roads that connect them to the mainland.
In fact, geolocated combat footage confirms that Ukrainians are already destroying Russian forces that are getting in as well as out of the salient with ATGMs. Ukrainians also managed to shoot down a Russian helicopter in this region that tried to provide Russian forces with at least some relief.
Interestingly, so far, the situation has developed precisely as the Head of the Wagner Group, Prigozhin, predicted a while ago. Prigozhin said that Ukrainians would definitely open an attack vector along the heights north of Soledar to create an additional point of pressure, making the situation extremely dangerous for the Russian forces. That is why Prigozhin wanted to escape from here as soon as possible.
Recently, the Wagner Group finished transferring all of the equipment that they promised to give up, conditional on the peaceful resolution of the conflict. The Wagner coup is still considered a mystery, as it is unclear whether Wagner’s troops gradually changed their mind, seeing no physical support for their actions from the regular forces, or whether it was entirely something else.
But one thing is clear – those generals that were on good terms with Prigozhin were further alienated and discarded, such as the former commander of the entire so-called special military operation, Surovikin. Some sources speculate that he betrayed the Russian Ministry of Defense by secretly supporting Wagner and hoping to become the Minister of Defense. Other sources take a milder view by assuming that the Russian Ministry of Defense cannot take risks and trust anyone who is in any way affiliated with the Wagner Group.
The bottom line is clear – Surovikin disappeared from the public eye, currently he does not represent Russian Air Force, and all people who know him closely unconvincingly say that he is on vacation. I remind you that Surovikin is the only commander of the so-called special military operation that actually achieved some results. So far, everything indicates that his vacation is going to be perpetual.

“• Yevgeny Prigozhin, leader of the Wagner PMC, personally arrived in St Petersburg on 4 July, where the weapons seized during the searches were returned to him.
• Previously it was reported that Prigozhin was given back RUB10 billion [approx. US$111,313 million – ed.] which security officials found during searches in St Petersburg after his attempted rebellion”
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
This is the first specific information I have seen about Prigozhin since vague reports he was not in Belarus and might be traveling back and forth between Moscow and St. Petersburg. THe most recent info above seems to be for July 4. Putin says he met with Prigo and 35 of his mercenaries. When did that meeting take place? Was it before or after Prigo’s weapons and money from home was returned after the official search and seizure?
The sentence about money returned to Prigo is hard to quantify. It appears to say 10 billion Rubles. Then a US figure of US$ 111,313 million is given. Does that mean $111,313,000, or $111,313,000,000? If the first amount then it should have read $111.313 million, otherwise it reads like the second amount which seems too large. At any rate, that is certainly a lot of forgiveness on Putin’s part. What does it all mean? Also is there any other news or fairly reliable rumors about what all is happening with Prigo and Putin, and the Belarus Wagner encampment?
When it comes to The Ukraine, you’re a bumper sticker quote.
If all you have to say is a personal insult then don’t.
Good news:
“South Korea will offer assistance worth $52 billion to Ukraine’s reconstruction projects, the Korea Herald reported on July 14, citing South Korea’s presidential office.”

Globohomo claptrap!
I’m sorry your opinion should not out weigh facts. Putin and Zelensky were ready for a peace deal way back in April of ‘22. Boris Johnson talked Zelensky out of it so that is factually incorrect.
“Globohomo claptrap. Wht dont you have an ‘about’ page?”
Perhaps she had one, but took it down because another FReeper threatened to have her doxxed because he disagreed with her, just as I was threatened with being doxxed.

do you really think that relentlessly posting to yourself makes this spam thread look more popular?
“Funding NWO a Eurowankers wars is nit conservative , so don’t try to sell that crap here . Eurowars for Eurowankers !”
You sound very angry. If you don’t like what she posts, just skip over it and don’t read it.
That money would sure come in handy on our southern border but the crooks in Washington don’t want that fixed. It’s part of their strategy to destroy our country.
