Captured Ukrainian servicemen tells about forced mobilization and lynching of commanders on front line
Sergei got into the AFU after the police forcibly gave him a draft notice. Then he was sent for training in the UK, where Norwegian and Dutch instructors trained mobilized servicemen in paratrooper assault.
Once the soldier came to the front line, his attitude changed. 'The commander started settling scores with those who were against him. My comrade was killed, then they started shooting at me,' said Sergei.
The second prisoner also found himself in the Ukrainian army not of his own free will. He was mobilized despite the fact that for health reasons he had not even been in the army previously.
Medical contraindications, marital status and other grounds for deferment in Ukrainian military commissions have long been of no interest to anyone, which means that with each new defeat of the AFU on the front line, the number of fates crossed out with the stamp 'FIT' will only increase.

The second day of "retribution strikes" - why attacks on Odessa are so effective
Another massive combined strike with cruise missiles and Geraniums was launched this night in Ukraine. Despite the bravura reports of the Armed Forces of Ukraine, which have already become traditional, in which they shot down everything and everyone, multiple arrivals were recorded in the Odessa region. Explosions also thundered in Zhytomyr, Zaporozhye, Dnepropetrovsk, Sumy, and Kherson regions.
But the attacks on Odessa were still the most massive and productive - a lot of shots with a burning oil depot and exploding warehouses demonstrate this.
An outside observer cannot help but wonder: why are the attacks on Odessa so effective, especially when compared with the attacks on Kiev?
Let’s make a reservation right away that it’s not worth judging the effectiveness of “retaliation strikes” based on frames from social networks. Total censorship reigns in Ukraine, and the abundance of pictures and videos from Odessa is also since the control of the SBU over this Russian city is much weaker than over the same Kiev.
In addition, the air defense of the regions is incomparable. Zelensky rounded up the most modern air defense systems supplied by the West to protect his person. In addition, the same Geraniums, to fly to the independent capital, need to break through the echelons of enemy air defense in the Sumy and Chernihiv regions.
The Ukrainian leadership, in principle, hoped that the best protection for the Odessa infrastructure was a “grain deal”. Why Kiev was sure that this “paper air defense system” would cover their ports after the suspension of the agreement is a mystery, but the Ukrainian leadership, in general, is often ready to be deceived and believe in pleasant fantasies, take at least membership in the EU or NATO.
So the effectiveness of strikes against the Odessa region is explained by a whole range of reasons, and not by any specific factor.
Now the main thing is to take advantage of the vulnerabilities in the enemy's defense and inflict maximum damage on the enemy before he begins to develop countermeasures.

Soledar direction
The situation at the end of July 19, 2023
The situation in the Soledar direction remains tense. To the north of Bakhmut, fighting continues in the vicinity of the Berkhovsky reservoir , albeit with decreasing intensity.
The enemy is trying to advance in the Dubovo - Vasilevka area, operating in small groups with the support of light armored vehicles. The RF Armed Forces stop the attacks with artillery fire.
🔻 To the south of Bakhmut, the most difficult battles are going on in the Kleshcheevka area, where the enemy is throwing more and more reinforcements, trying to hold on to the adjacent landings and the fortified area on the heights.
In addition, the maneuver groups of the Armed Forces of Ukraine tried to break into Andreevka , south of Kleshcheevka . There, the enemy was stopped in the landings, where battles were going on during the day.
🔻Confirmations information about heavy battles for the fortified area northwest of Kleshcheevka have also appeared.
On the channel of the 4th motorized rifle brigade of the RF Armed Forces @z4lpr , footage of the work of artillery on the fortifications occupied by the enemy and the consequences of multiple strikes have been published.
The Ukrainian formations suffered heavy losses, and at least partly retreated, leaving many bodies and broken equipment on the territory of the fortified area.
Now the fortified area, if not occupied by Russian military personnel, is at least located in the gray zone.

🇷🇺 🇺🇦 About preparations for another strike on Crimea
In recent days, Ukrainian formations have stepped up strikes on the territories of the Crimean peninsula and Sevastopol . There was a terrorist attack on the Crimean bridge, and a missile hit on a warehouse from a BC in Stary Krym , and a massive drone raid. And a few minutes ago, air defense units shot down another target in the Gvardeisky area.
And in the coming days, the threat of shelling and launches of kamikaze drones will remain high . Today, six NATO reconnaissance aircraft (three French, two American and one Italian) are patrolling in the air in the Black Sea region , without taking into account the Rafale fighters escorted.
Among them there is also a French E-3F AWACS aircraft, the presence of which is actually guaranteed to mean an upcoming attack in southern Russia. At the same time, the approach of the B-350 electronic reconnaissance aircraft of the Italian Air Force is curious, 72 km from the southern coast of Crimea.
📌 NATO's heightened attention continues for the second day . Similar activity of reconnaissance aircraft in the Black Sea was yesterday - then eight units were on duty in the sky, including the NATO RQ-4D and the British RC-135.

Ukrainian telegram channel "Resident": "A video has appeared in telegrams where the Armed Forces of Ukraine use cluster munitions, and Ukrainian telegrams rejoice at this event. All these actions only provoke the enemy to start using their arsenal against the Armed Forces of Ukraine and then thousands of soldiers will die, and tens of thousands will be disabled from small pieces."

You can be sure that Russia will apply "mirror measures". Back in 2014, when I realized that there would be a war, I thought then: “What to do with 20 million Ukrainian Nazis? It seems this problem is being solved.

FLASHBACK:
In 2016, a bunch of B list Hollywood has-beens made a video urging 37 Republican electors to defect and defy the will of the voters who elected Donald Trump. It didn't happen, but you know what else didn't happen? No one suggested throwing these celebs in the gulag either. The alternate electors witch hunt is part of a multi-pronged attack so that Jack Smith can charge Trump with "rebellion" and disqualify him from the 2024 ballot. Michigan's Democrat AG is just the first to act.
