  1. A russian aircraft and its pilot seem to have done the right thing for a change…

  2. I remember a time with these posts, when Mondays were always much smaller numbers compared to all other days after the “weekend lull”. Russia is pressing harder than before. I hope Ukraine can weather this storm relatively unscathed and inflict much more losses on invaders than take of their own.

  3. This war is such a folly. Russia is wasting decades of military production and an entire generation of young men… for what?
    To steal some land, oil/gas, and show the world that they’re still some scary superpower to be feared?

    Just pathetic

  4. As much as people like to highlight tanks and artillery, I’ve been impressed by the high numbers for special equipment. I wish there was a breakdown of what was lost cause it could be anything from a mine laying vehicle to mobile radar array. I’m hoping lots of radars are getting destroyed cause that’ll make their anti-air less effective.

  5. Given the reducing number of artillery per day, and tanks in recent days, do we think the Orcs are massing for an attack somewhere?

    Ideally, they’re doing so within HIMARS range…

  6. Russian military activity on the front lines remains as high as in previous days.

    – On the Kharkiv front, the Russian army is attempting to regain lost positions around the Lypsti and Vovchansk settlements. Recent reports indicate that Ukrainian units have managed to improve their positions on the Lypsti front, albeit marginally. Russian commanders believe that lost positions must be retaken at any cost, leading to often futile and costly attacks without results. This behavior offers Ukraine good opportunities to wear down the opponent. The entire Russian offensive on the Kharkiv front since the beginning of May is partly driven by a desire to demonstrate that the Russian army can recapture areas from which it had previously been forced to retreat.

    – In the Svatove and Severodonetsk areas, attacks towards Kupiansk have not gained much momentum, and Russian attacks are more about creating conditions for a more serious offensive. No significant changes in the front line here. Russian units are very active towards Luhansk city, where progress would support Russian offensives south in the Donbas. However, Russian units did not make significant progress yesterday. On the Siversk front, Russian offensive attempts are not very active. There was information about Russian progress south of Siversk yesterday, but this has not yet been confirmed.

    – Near Bakhmut, Russian army continues its offensive attempts across this front segment, but these did not yield results yesterday. South of Toretsk, the Russian offensive is very active. According to Russian sources, their units have advanced in two points, but Ukrainian reports do not confirm this. In recent weeks, Russian units in this sector have managed to push their positions forward in several points, but they have not managed to break through Ukrainian defense lines. Ukrainian forces have occasionally struggled to repel these attacks, and the situation here could become more dangerous.

    – A very intense offensive continued towards Pokrovsk in the northwest of Donetsk. On this front, the Russian army managed to advance slightly in some areas yesterday. In terms of a single day, these are not significant changes, but over weeks, such movements can significantly push their positions westward. It seems reaching the main Ukrainian defensive line will take more time, and Russian losses in this area are very high. It remains to be seen if they have enough reserves to continue such attacks throughout July. Yesterday, the number of Russian army attacks increased west and south of Donetsk, but these did not result in any changes.

    – On the southern front, Russian units are attempting more attacks on the eastern part of this front sector to support their offensive in the Donetsk region. There have been no changes in the situation. On the eastern bank of the Dnipro, Russian units were passive.
