Russia-Ukraine Reports - 2023-07-12 (1)
A photo is worth a thousand words.
Foreign fighters leave Ukraine due to witnessing atrocities. As NATO Leaders gather for summit in Lithuania, the war in Ukraine shows no signs of abating. Thousands of foreign nationals have travelled to Ukraine to support the counteroffensive - some are leaving after it became too much.
The Russian Armed Forces, in accordance with the plan, are completing the acceptance of weapons and military equipment from the Wagner group, the Russian Defense Ministry said.
More than 2 thousand pieces of equipment and weapons were transferred , including hundreds of tanks, MLRS "Grad", "Uragan", air defense systems "Pantsir", self-propelled artillery mounts, armored personnel carriers and more.
Among the transferred equipment, dozens of units have never been used in combat conditions. More than 2,500 tons of various ammunition and about 20,000 pieces of small arms were also accepted. All equipment and weapons are delivered to the rear areas, where the repair and restoration units of the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation carry out maintenance and preparation for use.

FPV drone hit on a group of AFU servicemen.
It would appear that outside of remote mining, the primary mine of choice for RF remains the PMN-2
Blast resistant, difficult to impossible to detect with “traditional” minesweepers, stable in position, 100 grams of RDX designed to fatally maim sans medical attention, relatively simple to disarm outside of detonation in situ.
This is what Ukrainian troops were jumping onto in that recent video clip which played out like a repeat of the Kajaki incident.

Trophy M2A2 Bradley IFV
Translation: “We are saying hello to Mr. Zelensky. Thank you for the wonderful vehicles. And now we’ll get an MTLB to drag this piece of shit away.”
It’s interesting to note the apparent age of Russian’s vs Ukrainian’s
Battle for Zaporozhye: 247th Cossack Regiment of the Airborne Forces stands as a wall, destroying the infantry of the Armed Forces of Ukraine
On one of the hottest sectors of the southern front, the enemy does not stop attacking, trying to break through the Russian defenses. Every day, the Armed Forces of Ukraine go on the attack, but they are hunted day and night by the guards-paratroopers.
Drone fighters find UAF fighters and attack them with grenades from the air with drones. The enemy suffers significant losses.

There are tough battles on the southern flank near Artyomovsk: the enemy broke through to Kleshcheevka, the Russian army launched a counterattack
➨ All these weeks, the enemy has been advancing from several directions to Kleshcheevka, around which fierce clashes do not stop.

➨ There are reports that the Armed Forces of Ukraine managed to advance and gain a foothold on the northern outskirts of the main Kleshcheevsky stronghold at a height. The fights continue.
➨ In the afternoon, Russian troops launched a counterattack near Kleshcheevka to push back the Armed Forces of Ukraine.

➨ Ours defeated the enemy assault platoon and captured about 10 militants.
➨ West of Kleshcheevka, ours also attacked the Nazis from the 3rd Assault Brigade "Azov" near the outskirts of the settlement and so far eliminated the threat of a breakthrough and assault on our oporniks.

Video footage of the defeat of Ukrainian military equipment in the Orekhovsky direction in the Rabotino districts
Western analysts about the current situation and prospects.
Most of the combat-ready part of the Ukrainian army is dispersed along a wide line from Kharkov to Zaporozhye.
The reserve units, on the other hand, are opposed to the possibility of an offensive through Belarus in the direction of Kiev and Poltava and much further west.
Now that the failures of the latest offensive have begun to combine with General Surovikin's almost year-long war of severe attrition, the front line is still in the middle of Ukraine, despite the latest NATO weaponry, more mobilizations and the help of official or unofficial volunteers and special forces personnel from member countries. NATO. Despite their attacks, the AFU began to crack.
General Gerasimov spent a year reorganizing the army on the concept of an active offensive. Surovikin analyzes all his combat experience and completely breaks up the offensive of the Armed Forces of Ukraine. Shoigu, on the other hand, switched to managing military production from the very beginning to an extensive production process.
Once the process of reorganization and growth is completed and Ukraine feels sufficiently weakened, the unforeseen is likely to happen.
There are 750,000 Russian soldiers on the border with Ukraine. The army is constantly trained, the soldiers go to the front in small groups, gain combat experience and return.
No less likely are simultaneous movements from the north in directions towards Dnepropetrovsk and Poltava, or Chernigov, Kharkov, and Sumy.
Maybe after a campaign, maybe a year later, Russia will inevitably launch a major offensive to become the only dominant power east of the Dnieper.

Another mobilisation evaders in Ukraine. They failed to escape from the country of dignity and freedom.
The State Border Service of Ukraine reports that two men of conscription age tried to swim across the Dniester River on an inflatable mattress to get to Moldova.
"On the shore the swimmers were met by a border guard. During the detention, the offenders tried to escape. The fugitives were stopped after several warning shots were fired upwards."
The detainees were taken to the border guard unit and protocols on administrative offences were drawn up for them.
But, one should bear in mind that only the stories of unsuccessful fugitives make it to the media. It would be interesting to know how many manage to cross the border. And at the same time, it would be an indirect indication of the corruption holes in the system of catching those unwilling to go to the mincemeat of war.

In the Armed Forces of Ukraine, militants even treat each other like enemies
After an unsuccessful attempt at a counteroffensive on the Vremevsky ledge, the militant did not have enough space in an armored vehicle. He was thrown overboard and nearly run over. The sad soldier returned to the position on foot.

Snipers of the 155th Marine Brigade are looking for positions in the Vugledar direction, and they find "missing" bushings, some of them abandoned here since the fall of last year. These are the consequences of waging war for the Ukrainian regime

⚡️ RT exclusive: night fight in Marinka.
A fighter with the call sign Silence (https://t.me/rt_russian/160614) intercepted the enemy “bird” with an anti-drone gun, and then opened the positions of the Armed Forces of Ukraine from a drone and “thundered” the enemy.
At night, navigating in space while flying a drone is extremely difficult. Even observing the picture in a thermal imager, it is very easy to get lost. Nevertheless, Silence not only conducted reconnaissance but also dropped the FOG exactly on the heads of the enemy infantry.
“Some people get the impression that the commanders or UAV operators ... are kind of safe,” the fighter says. The enemy almost immediately tries to strike back.
Immediately after Tishina worked in the positions of the Armed Forces of Ukraine, the building with the Russian military was fired from the M119 cannon.

Helluva lead photo.
No matter what weapons NATO sends, the Russian position remains the same. Anatoly Antonov, Russian Ambassador to the USA said that "The meeting in Vilnius demonstrated the bloc’s intention to concentrate more and more troops on Russian borders. We have nowhere to retreat."
Thanks for the share of my article.
I'm not sure if this is the right place to ask, but I'm curious about western allegations that Russia has used cluster bombs. Russia has denied it.
Do you happen to know anywhere it has been assessed?
