Volunteer Serhii Prytula has said that he is auctioning off the famous map from the office of the head of the Main Intelligence Directorate, Kyrylo Budanov, with the Russian Federation divided into parts.
SOURCE: Prytula on Facebook
QUOTE: “For more than a year, our foundation has not held an auction to raise funds for the needs of the military...
The time has come for the famous Budanov’s map.
Kyrylo Budanov gave us a dear item with a visualisation of the future of Russia so that we could turn it into drones for the Main Intelligence Directorate attack aircraft.”
DETAILS: The auction will take place on 23 July, live on Prytula’s Facebook page and YouTube channel. It will begin at 19:00 (Kyiv time).
The volunteer also said that there is already a first bid of UAH400,000 [about US$10,000]: “We will start from this amount during the online auction.”
Prytula reminded that the auction is only a part of a large fundraising campaign to purchase 5 EOS UAV systems for the Defence Intelligence of Ukraine.
He also recalled that earlier he had sold a painting by Maria Prymachenko at the auction (the proceeds were used to buy 125 buses for the army).
The volunteer also sold the Eurovision winner’s cup and a pink panama hat of the lead singer of the Kalush band – these funds turned into a PD-2 UAV system for Ukrainian marines.

Former Donetsk militant leader Girkin-Strelkov detained on tip-off of former Wagner mercenary

Former Donetsk militant leader Girkin-Strelkov detained on tip-off of former Wagner mercenary
Russian media report that security forces have detained an active supporter of the war against Ukraine, Igor Strelkov (real surname Girkin), who became known after 2014.
SOURCE: RBC and wife of Strelkov on his Telegram channel
DETAILS: On Friday, 21 July, law enforcement officers detained Igor Strelkov; two law enforcement sources told RBC, and Strelkov’s lawyer confirmed.
It is reported that the security forces took Strelkov out of the house around noon. The employees of the Investigative Committee are conducting a search of his apartment.
Preliminary reports indicate that the detention was carried out at the request of a former mercenary of the Wagner Group.
According to the information from another RBC source in law enforcement agencies, it’s the FSB who is conducting the investigation, not the Investigative Committee.
A message from his wife, Miroslava Reginskaya, appeared on Strelkov’s Telegram. She said that she was not at home when representatives of the Investigative Committee arrived there. According to the concierge, Strelkov was led out of the house under his arms.
QUOTE from Strelkov’s wife: “I managed to find out from my friends that my husband was charged under Article 282 of the Russian Criminal Code (extremism)”.
Details: On 20 July, Strelkov wrote on his Telegram channel that the Wagner mercenaries had nothing to boast about: losses in the war against Ukraine were “3/4 of the personnel (22 out of 78,000 killed and 40,000 wounded)”.
“Commanders should be dismissed to the ordinary soldiers for such ‘Pyrrhic victories’ (which have no strategic significance). Complete professional failure,” he was outraged.
On 18 July, Strelkov insulted Vladimir Putin on his Telegram channel, writing that “for 23 years, the country was led by a lowlife who managed to “throw dust in the eyes” of a large part of the population, and although he is now “the last island of legitimacy and stability of the state”, “the country will not survive another six years of this cowardly incompetent’s rule”.
According to Strelkov, Putin should “ensure the transfer of power to someone truly capable and responsible”.
For reference: Igor Girkin-”Strelkov” is a former Federal Security Service (FSB) officer who actively participated in the battles for Sloviansk and the seizure of power in Donetsk in 2014. He strongly supports the war but criticises the military and political leadership. On 1 April 2023, Girkin-Strelkov, Pavel Gubarev and Maxim Kalashnikov created the Club of Angry Patriots.
On 18 July, the telegram channel Ostorozhno, Novosti (Watch out, news) reported that Russia had accused Strelkov’s associate, retired Colonel Vladimir Kvachkov, who also actively supports the war in Ukraine but criticises the current Russian government and the leadership of the Ministry of Defence, of discrediting the Russian army.
Strelkov called the case against Kvachkov “a mockery of law, justice and common sense” against the backdrop of the fact that, after the mutiny of Yevgeny Prigozhin, no one has been held accountable for the murder of Russian pilots by Wagnerites.
Strelkov himself was sentenced in absentia to life imprisonment by the District Court of The Hague. He was found guilty of the downing of the Malaysian Boeing in August 2014. The court stated that Igor Girkin and two of his subordinates were “guilty of murder 298 times”.
Keep Clam and Pray For Doomed Wangers.
Gerkin is in a real pickle.
Looks like Girkin is in a bit of a pickle.
“The Ukrainian president also asked his Turkish counterpart to facilitate the return of Ukrainian prisoners, including Crimean Tatars.”
That would be so wonderful May it be so!

Dramatic video shows the Daily Mail’s Richard Pendlebury and Jamie Wiseman coming under fire from Russian artillery while compiling a report on Ukraine’s front line. The pair witnessed a firefight between Ukrainian troops and Russians who were just 400 metres away across no man’s land, after they were given extraordinary access to a front line trench in the Donbas region. They also encounter a Russian drone - before their journey out of the trench almost goes disastrously wrong when a full-scale battle rages around them while they make their way through a treeline.
