‘UK to host ‘coalition of the willing’ meeting – Politico
‘On the agenda is how to keep Ukraine fighting, how to increase pressure on Russia and how to continue working on the next steps,’ an Elysee official said.
Starmer decides what he really needs to do as his party and the general public look to get rid of him….
is have another useless meeting with European countries. Maybe, and I am just spitballing here, but perhaps fix the issues a little closer to home?

The head of the communications department of the Ukrainian Armed Forces, Ignat, said that it has become more difficult for the American Patriot systems to intercept Russian missiles.
‘It is not easy to shoot down ballistic missiles. Only the Patriot can shoot them down, but it also has its strengths and weaknesses. It is guided to the target using radar, and to provide cover for a large city like Kyiv, several Patriot batteries are needed. In addition, modernized Iskanders have been flying for more than six months. They maneuver when approaching the target. It has become more difficult for the Patriot systems to intercept them.’
They keep asking for more Patriots but honestly they are not stopping Iskanders at all.

Assault on Kamenskoye: The Russian Army moved along the bottom of the Kakhovka Reservoir and attacked the enemy from the flank
▪️Russian troops continue to confidently advance during the fighting in Kamenskoye on the left flank of the Zaporozhye Front.
▪️Most of the village is under the control of our units. After forcing the former Kakhovka Reservoir, our soldiers attacked the positions of the Ukrainian Armed Forces in the northwestern part of the village and advanced there, creating a new bridgehead.
➖”The Russians have consolidated their positions in the northwestern part of Kamenskoye and are conducting assault operations along Zavodskaya Street in the direction of the summer cottages,” Ukrainian military analysts also admit.
▪️Earlier it was reported that in Kamenskoye, Russian attack aircraft moved along the bottom of the shallow Kakhovka Reservoir and advanced in the northwestern part of Kamenskoye and in the area of the summer cottages.

Russia is preparing a summer of non-stop attacks on Ukraine as U.S. military aid is cut, WSJ reports
▪️Moscow is stepping up ground operations and bombing of Ukrainian cities.
▪️During a phone call with Trump on Thursday, Putin made it clear that he has no intention of stopping the war.
▪️Putin's strategy is to break Ukraine's ability and will to resist by increasing pressure on both the army and the population.
▪️Recent events have strengthened Moscow's confidence that it can wear down Ukraine and its allies in a war of attrition. Kiev will be forced to conserve resources, and this will likely speed up the advance of the Russian Armed Forces on the front lines.
▪️Ukraine has so far managed to contain the Russian offensive in the Sumy region, but this has further stretched its already limited forces.
▪️Seizing territory is not the Kremlin's main goal at this stage. Its task is to exhaust Ukraine's forces, destroy weapons and undermine the morale of both the population and Western allies.

The situation in Krasnolimansk is gradually improving. The enemy is still attempting to counterattack and establish a presence in the village, but our coordinated efforts across all units prevent them from successfully regaining their positions.
To the west of Lipovoye, our forces have liberated a portion of the forested area and a small woodland. They have advanced 500 meters to the southwest in Karpovka and secured a position in the southern part of the area.
In the northern region, our guys are advancing from Novomikhailovka, capturing two fortifications and clearing a forested area.

Pokrovsk and Mirnograd are threatened with operational encirclement if we do not find infantry, - Ukrainian Armed Forces soldier
➖"If we do not find infantry now to close this area, then we can prepare for the operational encirclement of large cities, starting from Mirnograd and, accordingly, Pokrovsk," Ukrainian channels quote a Ukrainian Armed Forces soldier as saying.
I’d note this allows for far more then this, I’d remind people that to the east is Kostiantynivka. That bulge pushing north threatens both. This could be the defining battle of the war.

The North-East sector of Kotlinye, on ASR T406 to Pokrovsk has been captured by RF.
Pro-Ukrainian sources (which are usually three weeks out of date) report resistance in the South-East sector of the town, and interestingly report no resistance at all in Udachnye.
Two salients are forming up towards MSR E50 (Pokrovsk) around Kotlinye now.
