It always makes me smile when Russian soldiers and their wives have this idea that higher-ups know what they’re doing and that they have a powerful plan.
I guess it’s coming from Putin who always says “Everything is going according to the plan.” The mysterious plan is their new religion, I guess. No one knows what it is, but everyone believes it exists.

Spanish Prime Minister Pedro Sánchez, who is on a visit to Kyiv, has delivered a speech during a meeting of the Verkhovna Rada [the Ukrainian Parliament].
Source: European Pravda
Details: Sánchez’s speech was not broadcast live for security reasons, and the full video is unavailable.
Pedro Sanchez posted a fragment of his speech on Twitter.
QUOTE:
“I came here today to tell you that Europe is open to those who make the choice. The European Union was built to prevent new wars, we choose to get together to be united in diversity, and that made us stronger. Europe is with you. And you are one with Europe… Glory to Ukraine!”
DETAILS:
Meanwhile, Ruslan Stefanchuk, the Chairman of the Verkhovna Rada, posted joint photos from the parliament, noting that Pedro Sánchez’s visit on this day was symbolic.
BACKGROUND:
Pedro Sánchez arrived in Kyiv on the morning of 1 July, the day of the start of Spain’s presidency of the EU Council.
Unlike most visits of top foreign guests, which are kept secret until the last minute, Sánchez’s visit was known in advance, as President Volodymyr Zelenskyy announced it during his online speech at a meeting of the European Council.
Spanish Foreign Minister José Manuel Albares said earlier that the priority of the Spanish presidency of the European Union would be to “preserve the unity of Europe in the face of Russian aggression” in Ukraine.

Spanish Prime Minister Pedro Sánchez, during his speech to the Verkhovna Rada [Ukrainian Parliament], announced a €55 million aid package for Ukraine, with the bulk of the funds to be allocated through the World Bank.
QUOTE: “Today [1 July 2023], my country, Spain, has decided to allocate an additional €55 million, including €51 million through the World Bank, to finance small and medium-sized businesses in Ukraine,” Sanchez said.
DETAILS: He said another €4 million will be allocated through the UN Development Programme to create schools with green and sustainable energy systems in Ukraine.
He stressed that Ukraine’s recovery will take time and investment, and Spain supports Ukraine in this process. Sánchez noted that Spanish companies have know-how in certain areas, such as the railway, which will be useful.

Send:
- ammo
- 60mm mortars
- grenade launchers
- Tourniquets
- drones
Every group of 4 riflemen, should be accompanied by 1 man with a grenade launcher plus 1 man in support of that ammo.
Because THERE ARE NOT ENOUGH GRENADE LAUNCHERS present, when taking a position. (EXCEPT, that the Russians have plenty of grenade launchers.)
Use armor to support troops, instead of wasting armor on “armor herds” and “armor spearheads.”
“Every group of 4 riflemen, should be accompanied by 1 man with a grenade launcher plus 1 man in support of that ammo.”
You present a great plan!
LOL You still don’t get it.
Thanks to Spain. good on ya!

On June 4, the Ukrainian counter-offensive continues behind the front line on the entire front line. Russian troops continue to suffer heavy losses in the face of the Ukrainian army’s shocking counter-offensive. It is possible that the success of the Ukrainian troops during the counter-offensive will lead to many developments in the coming days.
Looking at the front line, the most notable developments are taking place along the Zaporizhia front line. The success of the Ukrainian troops’ pressure on the front line is largely determined by the attacks behind the front line. So what are the latest developments? Let’s take a look together.
On the map you can see the Zaporizhia front line. We see that Ukrainian troops are continuing their operations along the line of about 150 kilometers. The Ukrainian army has made some big gains here in recent days.
Let’s take a look at the gains of the Ukrainian troops. Here you see Piatykhatky, one of the first points liberated by the Ukrainian army. So what advantage did the Ukrainian army gain by capturing Piatykhatky?
As you can see on the map, Piatykhatky is located very close to Vaslyivka, the easternmost point of the Zaporizhia front line. It is about 16 kilometers away. Assuming that the Ukrainian troops’ advance here will be on the southern route, we can say that the front line will be cut in half. This would cut Vasylivka off from the western part of the Zaporizhia front line.
This will give the Ukrainian army a great advantage in the operation to liberate Vasylivka. When we look at the location of Vasylivka, we see that it is located in the northernmost part of the Dnipro River. We estimate that the dominance of the Ukrainian army in the region could be very useful in terms of controlling the river.
Another region liberated by Ukrainian troops on the Zaporizhia front line is the region shown in blue to the north of Robotyne, as you can see on the map. As you know, Ukrainian troops’ operations here continue unabated. According to the latest reports, the fighting in the north of Robotyne has accelerated.

Some of the men, carry 2 rifles. I am suggesting that the 5th man have a grenade launcher instead of a 2nd rifle.
In addition, a simple wheeled cart carrying extra ammo, grenades, and rockets, is needed - trailing the squad at a distance but near enough for runners to reach, grab more, and work their way back to the men who need it.
Because, the Ukraine troops are commonly faced with not pressing their attacks - when the ammo gets low; and, the ammo gets low, quickly, when whatever is the resistance, continues to hold.
The Russians are most likely to be able to maintain a position, because the Russians have an abundance of grenades and rifle ammo.
Ukraine troops in general, have not trained to shoot down drones.
After looking at the interesting video narrated by Artur Reti, at comment #18, number 2., I checked out some of the many comments there. This persons reviewed some statements from the Institute for the Study of War and added some hunches of his own.
“ISW released an update recently. In it, they described 2nd hand reports of Prigozhin’s whearabouts over the past few days. Supposedly, he flew from Belarus to Moscow to “talk to” various Russian authorities. Then he flew to St. Pete to talk to more “various Russian authorities.” This, despite being a wanted traitor according to Putin’s last communique? Honestly, they’ve flipped-flopped so many times between “Prigozhin the traitor” and “Prigozhin the hero” I’m not entirely sure what the current claim actually is.
What this tells us is: Putin is no longer in power. He retains some elements of his former power, but not all. If he still had absolute authority Prigozhin would not be free to come and go to Moscow / St Pete as he pleases. He’d be incarcerated or killed.
My hunch: a shadowy cabal of Siloviki (perhaps including Lukashenko, but with guys like Dyumin being the sort I’d imagine are highest authority) reached out to Prigozhin during his “March of Justice.” They conveyed to him “Look you’ve made your point. We all know Putin has to go, but right now is not the right time. You don’t want to do this by yourself. Align with us, we’ll do what we can to insure that your situation post-war is good. We’ll work together to make sure we ALL come out of this as well off as we can.”
