He left a 9 year old son at home - he asks “Where is dad, mom? Where is dad?” “They say they’re building Ukraine, but what kind of Ukraine is this? We lived peacefully for so many years”
@ZvezdaNews Report from the Southern Front of the Ukrainian War (transcript provided below):
Reporter: The Мastiff [MRAP] has been repainted, while the Husky [MRAP] remains camouflaged for desert landscapes. British vehicles are qualified as ambush-protected. They are intended for punitive raids, for fighting guerrillas in third-world countries.
Ukraine has been sent vehicles that are easy prey in real combat. The POW is a former 37th Brigade Marine in the Ukrainian special operations forces. Trained in Britain, he was wounded and abandoned by his own. That's how he was found in a British armoured vehicle.
Evgeny Zinovik, Ukrainian POW: The armoured vehicles in my unit are the British Mastiff armoured personnel carriers. I lay there for four days, nobody ever picked me up. And on the fourth day, a Russian Federation reconnaissance team found me and fed me, gave me water and first aid.
Reporter: He says that the commanders promised the militants a "walk in the park." They [said they would] clear Novodonetskoye in eight minutes. In reality, there were huge losses, and the survivors fled for their lives. Marines of the [Russian] Pacific Fleet are planning another evacuation and expect to add to their collection of NATO armoured vehicles in the near future.

@RezervSvo reports the rise of the counterroar on the Svatovo-Kremennaya front:
⏺Operation of the Russian Army in the Krasny-Liman, Svatovo-Kremennay, and the Kupyansk directions.
For the third day, the Russian Army is conducting a successful offensive on these sections of the front. The following settlements have come under the Russian Army's control (fully or partially): Novoselovskoye [GB: Also Kuzemovka], Torskoye, and Sinkovka.
⏺The enemy is forced to bring in reserves in order to stabilise the situation. At the moment, the enemy cannot stop our troops, the initiative is fully on the side of the Russian Army.
⏺The tactics of the military leadership of our Armed Forces have more than proven themselves. The enemy has withdrawn part of the reserves intended for conducting their own "counter-offensive" in the Azov direction, thus easing the pressure on our own defensive lines in the Zaporozhye region.
⏺Now there are significant prospects for the development of a large-scale operation to return the Kharkov region, as well as the part of the DPR occupied by the Ukrainian army back under the full control of the Russian forces.

@BorisRozhin (ColonelCassad) Ukrainian War SitRep, as at 21:24 MSK, on July 13, 2023:
1. The Zaporozhye direction.
The enemy continued attacks in the area of Pyatikhatki and Rabotino, but failed to achieve significant results, once again suffering appreciable losses.
The enemy's inability to ram through the front in these areas reflects an operational failure on the part of the AFU—both villages were supposed to have been taken in the first week of June, according to the enemy's plans of the offensive in the Orekhov direction.
In the Gulyai Pole direction, things are even more fruitless for the AFU. On the Vremevka bulge, the enemy continued to probe our front near the settlements of Urozhaynoye and Makarovka.
The enemy is regrouping in all areas in order to resume attacks, but it is already obvious that the original plans of the operation have had to be redrawn. That is why there are statements about the revision of tactics, and the themes of deep breakthroughs, which NATO and the U.S. bet on all spring and in early June, are being removed from public propaganda.
2. The Artyomovsk direction.
The enemy continued attempts to advance in the direction of Berkhovka, Kleshcheevka and Kurdyumovka. Since the beginning of enemy attacks on May 10th, the enemy has failed to capture a single village in the Artyomovsk direction.
Nonetheless, Syrsky continues to expend reserves heavily to continue the attacks here, hoping that local successes near Artyomovsk would compensate for the operational failure in the Zaporozhye direction. A possible attempt to break through into Artyomovsk may serve the purpose of media cover for the "Zaporozhye failure."
All the same, even here the AFU have not been successful so far—the Russian troops are holding Berkhovka, as well as the bulge near Dubovo-Vasilievka. In the area of Kleshcheyevka, the Russian Armed Forces hold a key height, the village itself and a number of important positions for its defence. The enemy was unable to break through to Kleshcheyevka from march. In the Kurdyumovka area, our troops are also repelling attacks at the canal and the dam.
3. The Svatovo direction.
The RF Armed Forces continue to operate quite successfully in the area of Torskoye, Kuzemovka, and Novoselovskoye. The enemy has lost a number of positions and suffered significant losses in recent days, forcing it to move operational reserves here to counterattack and stabilise the front.
Torskoye itself is still partially under the AFU. The Russian Armed Forces control approximately 20% of Novoselovskoye. The situation has also become more difficult for the enemy near Kupyansk. The occupation administration is being evacuated from the city. Our troops are pressing in the area of Sinkovka.

Oleg Tsaryov (@OlegTsarov) Ukrainian War SitRep, as of July 13, 2023:
PART I | PART II (https://t.me/Slavyangrad/54727)
No changes in the Kherson direction. The overnight attempt to land and gain a foothold on the left bank of the Dnepr River was unsuccessful for the AFU, although small groups continue to prowl the islands.
In the Zaporozhye direction, the AFU decided to launch another wave of attacks. They again failed to break through or gain a foothold near Patyakhatki and Zherebyanki. In the Orekhov section, north-east of Rabotino, there is a threat of the AFU advance; one of the strongholds has passed from the Russian Army to the AFU and back again several times. While our military has managed to regain their positions, and they are holding the defence, the Ukrainian forces are very close by, on a small bridgehead near the outskirts of Rabotino, waiting for reinforcements.
In general, there is an activation of the AFU reserves all along the Zaporozhye front. Most likely, the AFU command will try to take advantage not only of the recent small advances in this area, but also of the removal of Commander Popov, which could affect the morale of our military. All my acquaintances on that front have confirmed that he was competent and intelligent, took care of and respected his guys.
In the South Donetsk direction, the Russian Army successfully attacked Ukrainian strongholds to the south of Gulyai Pole, occupying forest areas from Marfopol to the outskirts of Chervonoye. Near Priyutnoye, Staromayorskoye and Novodonetskoye, the Russian army is repelling attacks and forcing the Ukrainians into positional fighting. The Ukrainian armed forces are not making any rapid breakthroughs. Nor do they have any non-rapid breakthroughs.
In the Artyomovsk and Soledar directions, the attempts of the AFU to cut into the Russian defences and occupy the heights near Kleshcheyevka were again unsuccessful—the Russian Armed Forces are holding their positions, throwing back the enemy, which is suffering heavy losses. At Berkhovka, our troops gave way a little, the AFU advanced, and there are fierce battles. At Razdolovka, the AFU is also trying to advance in the direction of Yakovlevka, near which there is a supply route to Soledar; our troops are holding the front.
There are fierce battles in the Krasny Liman direction. The AFU is trying to regain the positions lost earlier; our forces are counterattacking. The AFU command has pulled up heavy artillery to Novoselovskoye on the Svatovo-Kupyansk motorway, trying to hold back our attack from the direction of Kuzemovka, but our fighters managed to take control not only of several positions and POWs, but also of heavy equipment. We are waiting for confirmation that the AFU is indeed abandoning Novoselovskoye. If so, this opens up new opportunities for advancing in the Svatovo and Kupyansk sectors. Russian units have also entered Torskoye, and a small eastern neighbourhood on the Kremennaya road has been taken under control. The Ukrainian armed forces are looking for opportunities to hold back the advance of the Russian troops, mining the approaches and responding with heavy artillery.

This is what a strike on an AFU mortar unit behind Kremennaya looks like from as close a distance as possible
It takes less than five seconds to fire a volley. A full Grad can cover an area the size of about twenty football fields, but today the entire ammunition was not needed. The combat vehicles dueled with the enemy behind Kremennaya.
