War and the Russians.
There is one thing that neither the dashing 90s, nor the full force of Western propaganda, nor the years of satiety, nor the machinations of liberals have been able to destroy in us. It has always been in us - perhaps for thousands of years. It is something so deep, maybe even connected with life in a harsh climate.
We make breakthroughs exclusively in conditions of total chaos.As long as everything is calm and good - we are lazy and complacent. But as soon as the ass begins, some unknown midichlorians awaken in us, and we first turn everyone into ashes, and then make such a leap in the development of the country that it was impossible to imagine before the process began.
I even think that the whole history of the five-year plan bogged down precisely because the five-year plan became a routine. It is one thing to rebuild the country together, shoveling out of poverty, with fury, and another thing when all of this suddenly turns into KPIs.
And now I even think that maybe the heat of passion is not enough. Maybe it should be tougher.
But even now, with relatively small problems, in conditions of incredible national unity in the face of existential threat, we have come a colossal way. In peacetime, such a path would have taken decades, and maybe we would not have been able to organize all this at all - to organize a large-scale cleanup of thieves, kick out all the mold from the stage and clear the ground for our own industry.
And this is where the difference between us and the Khokhls becomes clear.
They don't know how to play team games. They scatter like cockroaches. This can be seen especially well in the incredible number of videos where they leave their "brothers" wounded and run away just to save their own skin.
And the worse the situation is for them, the faster they will jump in different directions.
So yes, Ukraine, which no longer exists, is not Russia. The artificially bred monster is dying and stinks terribly.
We will only have to throw the corpse out of the Russian land.

๐ท๐บ Shots of the battle near Sevastopol and the statement of the Ministry of Defense: how the Russian Navy detached the enemyโs attack in the morning

After the failure of the Ukrainian counter-offensive, the Russian Armed Forces seized the initiative in the Seversk direction: there are heavy battles here, the enemy has erected strong fortifications, and drones are constantly in the air.
โAlmost all of Europe is fighting against us, just like in the Great Patriotic War. But the spirit of the Russian soldier remains the spirit of the Russian soldierโฆ Victory will be ours,โ says one of the officers.
Soldiers of the 2nd Corps of the "South" group regularly fire on the positions of the Armed Forces of Ukraine, armored vehicles are actively used. It ensures the advance of the infantry and helps to evacuate the wounded from the front line.
โReconnaissance reveals targets. Help, and support our infantry. Our task is to get a goal and work it out. The mortar won't get it - we'll get it, โsays the fighter of the S-60 crew.

โก๏ธFront summary for the morning of 07/16/2023โก๏ธ
By https://t.me/wargonzo/13828
In the Zaporizhia direction, the Armed Forces of Ukraine attacked from the side of Kamensky just to the east of the M-18 highway and managed to take several important positions. The Ukrainian command temporarily abandoned the assault on Zherebyanok. With the support of artillery, the Armed Forces of Ukraine advanced near Rabotin. No success. A new active site has also appeared. Ukrainian units advanced in the forest belt along the railway line just west of Dorozhnyanka. Here is a convenient place to reach the rear of the Russian positions in this village and breakthrough from the west to the highway to Pologi. Forest plantations hide the movement of troops. Russian artillery hit the Armed Forces of Ukraine in Malaya Tokmachka, Belogorye, Zheleznodorozhny, and Gulyaipole.
In the Ugledar sector, Ukrainian troops, after artillery strikes, carried out assault operations near Staromayorsky and Urozhayny. No promotion. But here, too, a new direction of attacking efforts of the Armed Forces of Ukraine has appeared. They managed to take several positions southwest of Pavlovka. The idea is the same - to go to the rear of the Russian troops and cut the road between Pavlovka and Yegorovka. Artillery of the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation worked on Ukrainian units in Makarovka, Blagodatnoe, Novoukrainka, and Bogoyavlenka.
In the Bakhmut direction, the Armed Forces of Ukraine, with powerful artillery support, are pressing in the Kleshcheevka area. In the northern sector of the RF Armed Forces, they counterattacked from the direction of Berkhovka. And the Ukrainian troops stepped up just north of Orekhovo-Vasilyevka near the M-03 highway. Under shelling, the positions of the Armed Forces of Ukraine in Aleksandro-Shultin, Stupochki, Chasovoy Yar, Vasyukovka, Fedorovka, Rozdolovka, Vesel (not to be confused with the settlements of the same name north-west of Donetsk and north of Avdiivka), Sporny and Verkhnekamensky. The Armed Forces of Ukraine hit Ozaryanovka, Kurdyumovka, Andreevka, and Bakhmut.
In the Luhansk direction, the RF Armed Forces managed to advance in the Serebryansky forest from Shipilova and attacked near Novosadovoe. Russian troops hit the Armed Forces of Ukraine in Belogorovka, Torskoy, Nevsky, Berestovoy, Kotlyarovka, Kislovka, Zapadny, Dvurechnaya, Figolevka, Kamenka and Kolodeznoy.

PMC "Wagner" continues its redeployment in large columns. Citizens can still meet them on the M4 highway
.
We need to give up our names. Because the names are Russian and therefore 'imperialist'โ. A Ukrainian immigrant in Bulgaria complains about another mad policy of the Kiev Regime. Now they want to turn Russian-speaking people into Ukrainians by changing their names.

Armed Forces of Ukraine are preparing for the battle for the Slavyansk-Kramatorsk agglomeration
The satellite image shows a vast twenty-kilometer ditch starting from the village of Tikhonovka and ending at one of the entrances to Slavyansk.
At the moment, it is used mainly for the training of fighters of the Armed Forces of Ukraine, however, in the future, the ditch will become one of the main lines of defense of the Armed Forces of Ukraine in the direction.
In addition, Kramatorsk continues to be saturated with firing points, preparing for battles in the city.
Apparently, at Zaluzhny they clearly understand that after the counteroffensive of the Armed Forces of Ukraine, Russian troops will go to liberate the entire territory of the DPR.
Now the main question for the Armed Forces of Ukraine is whether there is enough mobilization meat in Ukraine for this battle.

๐บ๐ฆโ๏ธ ๐ท๐บThe enemy entered Staromayorskoye, (http://t.me/RVvoenkor/49315) storming and trying to break through the front

โ๏ธ๐ท๐บ๐บ๐ฆ Vremyevsky site
situation as of 13.00 July 16, 2023
Today, assault detachments of the 35th infantry regiment of the Ukrainian Navy, after intensive artillery preparation, resumed the assault on Staromayorsky from the directions of Makarovka and landings to the northwest.
The main efforts of the Armed Forces of Ukraine were concentrated on the positions of the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation on a hill to the west of the village. Staromayorskoye itself is located in a lowland, and without control over the adjacent heights, the offensive will be complicated.
โ๏ธDuring the ensuing battle, the assault detachments of the Marines of the 35th brigade were able to break through in the north of the village. However, some time later, Russian fighters managed to drive the Armed Forces of Ukraine out of the settlement.
Now the fighting continues. Ukrainian formations are trying to take the heights. Artillerymen of the Armed Forces of Ukraine are actively using cluster munitions that were handed over to them more than a month ago.

I simply admire a diplomatic wisdom of Annalena Berbock: โOn possible talks with Putin: "I wish we could negotiate. But right now it's not about what you
want, it's about facing reality."โ Indeed, facing reality is a bit of a problem, isnโt it? And Ukrainians and Russians are dying! It is horrible. THANK YOU for your reporting!
The flamethrowers scare me the most but cluster bombs are hot on its heels. Biden's introduction of cluster bombs will cause a lot of Ukrainian suffering. If two guys are in a boxing match, you don't give one a knife if the other has a machine gun. That's what the poor Ukrainians are facing, because of the sheer amount of cluster bombs the Russians have in storage.
