“Russia spent eleven months taking Bakhmut. Those backing Russia treated is as the end of the war. Until it was not, then Bakhmut and everything said about it was forgotten.
Ukraine spends three weeks taking back three times the territory in shaping operations while holding back the main attack. It does not count, until it does. This is going to go slow, until it goes fast.”
Thank you.
I truly appreciate your ‘state of the invasion’ military summation.

But not the mineral rights.

I am Ukrainian. My country has been invaded by Russia. In this video I will tell you what happened on the four hundred and ninty third day of the war.
Day 493: Jul 01
Today there is a lot of news from the Orikhiv direction. Here, Ukrainians finally confirmed that they breached the last line of defense in front of Robotyne and that Russian forces now only have the settlement itself to rely on. Today Ukrainian 47th Mechanized Brigade released combat footage that shows exactly how Ukrainians managed to push through despite immense Russian resistance.
Since the counteroffensive operation is still in the early stages, and Russians still have not burnt through their accumulated personnel and equipment, Ukrainians found out that the best tactic that ensures that even the freshest and most equipped Russian units break and retreat is continuous assaults. So, Ukrainian assault units are preparing for at least 36 hours of virtually non-stop operations.
The first target of the assault unit became Russian defensive positions across the field. The setting was the following: there were two strong points in front of each other – the Ukrainian and the Russian. While both of them engaged in positional fights and Ukrainians distracted Russian soldiers with fire, the job of the assault unit was to sneak into the Russian flanks and destroy them.
After getting close to the Russian flanks, the Russians noticed something and started firing in their direction. The commander of the assault unit quickly realized that the Russians still did not understand the exact positions of the Ukrainians and ordered everyone not to shoot unless they could see and eliminate the target for sure.
The commander requested artillery support, Ukrainian artillery hit exactly where needed, Russians started panicking and making mistakes, the assault unit eliminated most of them without even getting close, and established control over the position.
Despite operating for 8 hours straight and successfully taking Russian positions, Ukrainian immediately started preparing to move further. They coordinated with another unit in the region and created the following plan: establish 2 machinegun positions, create crossfire, and combine it with concentrated artillery fire while 3 units approach the next Russian position on the line. However, the moment Ukrainians started implementing their plan, Russians launched a counterattack to recapture positions that they just lost.
Ukrainians quickly communicated the coordinates, and the second group of Ukrainians engaged in meeting the Russians. Russian mechanized assault was rebuffed, but Russians did not stop pushing, which undermined Ukrainian plans. Unable to move forward, the Ukrainian assault unit was forced to conduct defensive operations. After sunset, the situation did not improve, gun fire and artillery strikes intensified, and it became clear that Russians were preparing for a night assault. Ukrainians were not ready for a defensive operation.
The commander faced his soldiers and said: “If we stay here, we die – which is not an option. So, we either have to retreat and lose what we gained today or eliminate the threat. The offense is the best defense, so we open fire and use everything we have while 2 groups of 2 people leverage our strong right flank and crawl right to the Russian positions. When they are ready, I give a signal, we throw grenades, and immediately after the explosion, enter the trenches and take the positions. I am going to be 1 of these 4 people, I need 3 volunteers, who will come with me?”
Everyone was silent. The idea of crawling into the dark towards enemy positions under constant machine gun and artillery fire and successfully ambushing Russians with just 4 people seemed insane. However, the fact that their commander was willing to go first and lead them gave them confidence that they would succeed. The units advanced and assumed the necessary positions, with Russians still unaware of their presence. The commander gave the sign, grenades exploded, and the whole hell broke loose.
In the morning, the commander reported that the operation was successful, Ukrainians wrecked Russian plans and took the positions that they initially planned to take. By the way, the commander that led his troops into battle that night is Valerii Markus, who is actually the commander of the 47th Mechanized Brigade. Despite such a high position, he participates in the most difficult operations and understands exactly what his troops are dealing with.

Kadyrov is missing.
“Kadyrov is missing.”
WOW! To God be the glory
“In the morning, the commander reported that the operation was successful, Ukrainians wrecked Russian plans and took the positions that they initially planned to take.”
WOW Slava Ukraini
I think you forgot that we are Americans, not Russians, and you meant to say:
It’s very sad that our own country, Russia, has become a font of evil in the world.
This video shows the destruction of a rural village after a Russian missile attack. The elderly villages can't understand why they were attacked.
A pair of aid volunteers from the Netherlands brought snacks and food to provide a brief moment of relief for the residents.
You can see that none of the residents could have any role in a war, they are mostly elderly.
“It’s very sad that our own country has become a font of evil in the world.”
If that is what you believe then you need to go live in Russia. Unless of course you are already there then you need to move out.
Born here, will die here.

I think it would be better if moved to Russia. You obviously do not care or understand this country and if you lived in Russia you would probably start to appreciate it.
what? Really?
Kadyrov just reappeared in a video with big nasty purple IV bruising on his hand.
Update on the conflict in Ukraine for July 3, 2023:
- Ukraine’s offensive reaches the 1 month mark and has made relatively little progress beyond the security zones ahead of Russia’s main defenses;
- This is mainly owed to Russian mine fields and Ukraine’s inability to clear them while under fire;
- Ukraine’s artillery shell supply is limited, the longer the offensive takes, the less ammunition Ukraine will have to support and exploit any breakthroughs that do occur;
- Mounting Ukrainian losses mean that any achievements made during the offensive will be difficult to consolidate no matter where on the map the offensive ends;
- Unable to breach Russian defenses, Ukraine and its NATO sponsors appear to be exploring “alternative” options to change battlefield dynamics including continued attempts to accuse Russia of planning to destroy the Zaporozhye nuclear power plant;
