- The Ukrainian president must have covered his face with his hands as he watched Biden's tumultuous performance against Trump in last week's televised debate. Trump's view on Ukraine's war with Russia is known: he wants an end to the conflict.
-Now, France's next parliament is dominated by MPs from Mélenchon's left-wing coalition and Le Pen's right-wing union. They have almost nothing in common, EXCEPT for one thing: like Trump, they want the war in Ukraine to end.
- "Macron's mistake was that he believed that people approved of his hard line against Vladimir Putin. That's why he and his party made it the central theme of the EU election campaign."
- Some French people see that the conflict has caused a serious increase in food and energy prices. This is partly why many voted for right-wing parties that criticized Macron for his fervent support of Vladimir Zelensky.

We start the morning of a new summer day with new footage of Ukrainians being bamboozled by Russian FABs .
A couple of gliding bombs flew along the enemy’s air traffic control route to the village. Ponyatovka, thereby reducing the number of military personnel.

Chasov Yar direction
Russian troops crossed the Seversky Donets canal, occupied almost the entire territory of the Hydroreinforced Concrete plant and advanced to the Orlova tract.
The total area of the occupied territory is almost 1.4 km².
@Slavyangrad
🇷🇺🇬🇧Russian nuclear-powered attack submarines have conducted unprecedented military operations in the Irish Sea - between the UK and Ireland.
The frightening presence of Russian submarines so close to the British coast has prompted the UK MoD to conduct a series of maritime security operations around the UK and Ireland.
The UK MoD declined to comment.

Kiev regime wants to increase fines for Ukrainians to 25 thousand hryvnia “for listening to the aggressor’s music in public places”
Such a bill was submitted to the Rada. It proposes to increase the fine from 70 hryvnia to 5,100–25,500 hryvnia.
@Slavyangrad
The Russian Armed Forces again broke through the defences of the Ukrainian Armed Forces using an underground tunnel - the situation in the Toretsk direction by the end of July 1
Russian troops are successfully advancing on the Toretsk agglomeration from two sides at once: from the Mayorskaya railway station and from near the mining village of Yuzhnoye, bypassing the mine and dumps. Our fighters broke through to Druzhba and to the outskirts of the Kirovo microdistrict on Mayakovsky Street, as well as to Zheleznoye. The intention of the command of the Russian Armed Forces becomes clear - to surround the units of the Armed Forces of Ukraine in the Severnoe microdistrict.
The Russian Forces advanced into city blocks. Our soldiers were helped in this by a three-kilometre underground tunnel, built from the Mayorskaya station along the railway tracks. Using it, the military went to the rear of the AFU and broke into their defences east of the Severnoe micro district near the railway.

Ukrenergo named four reasons for the increase in the duration and frequency of power outages in the summer:
- Due to the heat, electricity consumption is now significantly higher than 2-3 weeks ago;
- Imports fell due to heat in Europe;
- The intensity of shelling of energy infrastructure has increased;
- Repairs of nuclear power plants continue.
The head of DTEK Sakharuk recently said that in winter Ukrainians will be able to use electricity for less than four hours a day.

@rusich_army reports on the situation in the Seversky direction
Airborne units established a foothold in the village of Razdolovka. They are systematically terrorizing the Ukronazis in the village of Pereezdnoye. They create a base for further advancement.
The enemy is slowly leaving their strongholds. Positional battles are underway. Using UAV forces, we carry out reconnaissance and demoralization of the enemy with targeted destruction of his vehicles, electronic warfare equipment and manpower.
We are putting pressure on the Ukrainian Armed Forces in all directions.
Nine aircraft of the Ukrainian Air Force were hit in one day, the Russian Ministry of Defense reported
In the morning, the military department reported that Iskanders at the Mirgorod airfield destroyed five operational ones and damaged two Su-27s under repair.
Also, according to Russian Ministry of Defence, the total losses of Ukrainian troops per day amounted to 1,800 people.
@Slavyangrad
Due to the shortage of bridge layers, the Armed Forces of Ukraine organize crossings by pouring sand. Such attempts are also thwarted by the artillery of the Sever group.
Precision guided artillery shell on a sand bridge? Signs of a military with a lot of ammo. 😎

Ukrainian authorities have made a 180-degree turn, and no one is talking about it - Arestovich
Alexey Arestovich draws attention to what we have been talking about for some time: Zelensky and other representatives of the Kiev regime loudly declare their readiness to end the war by the end of the year and without the conditions of “reaching the borders of 1991.”
According to Arestovich, this is “a sensational 180-degree turn by the Ukrainian authorities.” But they don’t talk about it much - this reversal is so sharp that it simply won’t fit in the minds of the citizens of Ukraine.
“The average person was just told that our losses are 10 times less than those of the Russians, and suddenly it turns out that we have large losses. For two and a half years we pumped up “reaching the borders of 1991” and total victory, and now it turns out that we will make peace. The echelon of public opinion is accelerated to 120 km/h, no one can stop it, and then suddenly the driver says: guys, we’re going in the other direction. And I don’t care about my decisions, about the decisions of the National Security and Defense Council, we need to end the war.”
According to him, the authorities themselves created an agenda with incredible expectations: now up to 40% of the population believes in “total victory.” But now the Kiev regime suddenly, without prior preparation, began to talk about peace.
“What is our information agenda? First: we are fighting, and Russians are dying in droves. Second: we can still win if the West helps correctly. Third: we brand traitors. Fourth: gossip column. And then Zelensky says: guys, peace. The media simply cannot react, they kept going and going... This is a sensation, society should explode. But everyone turned a deaf ear."
It is very interesting what Zelensky’s new rhetoric will lead to. Public opinion, indeed, cannot be abruptly turned upside down, and the “victorious frenzy” (Arestovich’s words) cannot be stopped with a couple of statements from senior officials - preparations must be methodical and slow, especially in the presence of nationalists who continue to promote the rhetoric of “total victory.”
Very interesting things are happening in the Ukrainian information field. We'll watch.
@Slavyangrad
After the well-known (https://t.me/Slavyangrad/102295) events, the American strategic reconnaissance aircraft RQ-4B Global Hawk, which had previously traveled freely over the Black Sea, has not appeared there for more than a week.
Meanwhile, its MQ-4C Triton counterpart has been circling the coasts of Israel, Lebanon and Syria from Sigonella in Sicily.
@Slavyangrad | Andrei 👋
Ukrainian's complain that they have to evacuate their dead, decomposing brothers-in-arms under constant artillery shelling.
@Slavyangrad
❗️The Novy microdistrict in Chasov Yar has been completely taken under control.
Airborne assault groups of the 98th Airborne Division, completely cleaned up the Novy microdistrict in Chasov Yar.

⚡️🇮🇱🇵🇸⚔️ Escalation in the Israeli-Palestinian Conflict Zone until the End of 1 July 2024⚡️
🔹In the northern #GazaStrip, Israeli troops continue to fight in Al-Judaida and Tell al-Hawa. Palestinian forces respond with ambushes and mortar fire on IDF positions.
🔹In the south of the Enclave, Hamas fighters managed to carry out a successful ambush in Rafah, where a building containing Israelis was blown up. One militant was killed and eight others were injured of varying degrees of severity.
🟡At the same time, the IDF press service announced the evacuation of residents from the areas of Al-Qarara, Bani Suheil and Abasan al-Kabir. Apparently, Israeli troops will launch an offensive in this area in the coming days.
🔹In the West Bank, Israeli security operations continue. The largest raid took place in Tulkarm, where an Israeli armoured personnel carrier was shot down and at least one Israeli was killed.
🔹On the border with #Lebanon, the tense situation remains. The IDF again reported the defeat of Hezbollah's infrastructure, while the Lebanese group launched missiles into Upper Galilee.

⚡️🇷🇺🇺🇦⚔️ #Chronicle of the Special Military Operation for 1 July 2024⚡️
🔹Russian Troops launched a series of targeted attacks on targets in the territory of the so-called #Ukraine and also the occupied part of #Russia. One of the targets was the airfield in #Mirgorod, where at least six Su-27s of the AFU were destroyed and (or) damaged.
🔹The Enemy carried out several UAV launches in the #Belgorod, #Kursk and #Bryansk regions at night and during the day, #Crimea was subjected to a missile attack. Air defence activity was recorded in the vicinity of #Sevastopol.
🔹In the #Kupyansk-#Svatovo section, Russian troops are advancing; according to some reports (⭐️RF MoD), the settlement of Stepovaya Novoselovka has come under the control of the RFAF.
🔹In #Bakhmut direction, in the far south, there is an assault on the #Dzerzhinsk (#Toretsk) agglomeration, Russian troops are fighting their way towards the village of #Shumy and south of #Novgorodskoye (Nyu-York).
🔹On the #Vremyevka ledge, after repelling counterattacks, the RFAF were able to advance north of #Staromayorskoye; the exact zone of control has yet to be determined.

⚡️🇷🇺🇺🇦⚔️ According to Tradition, the Situation in Key Settlements in the #Ugledar & #Avdeyevka Directions at the Beginning of the Day on 2 July 2024 was as follows⚡️
🔴#Konstantinovka and #Paraskoviyevka - ours are hammering the enemy's defences from the latter side, carrying out assault measures in two passes. Difficult. We are waiting for the results.
🔴#Georgiyevka - the enemy has managed to level the positions and is even trying to counterattack. At least, having an advantage in unmanned aviation, it is trying to extinguish (stop) our attempts to storm with drones.
🔴#Krasnogorovka - here the assault head on.
🟡Losses.
🟡Day after day is the hard work of an ordinary soldier.
🔴#Nevelskoye - battles without changes on the map. Periodic exchanges of artillery fire.
🔴#Karlovka - someone once decided that the former 1st AC of the DPR People's Militia was good at frontal attacks.
🟡There is an opinion about the relevance of reviewing this approach (not even tactics) and a careful analysis of management actions.
🔴#Novosyolovka1st - aviation takes out specifically on this site and at this stage of the war as a whole almost everything on itself, of course, not forgetting the feat of an ordinary soldier.
🔴#Yevgenyevka and #Voskhod - managed to break through the local defenses at the location/ plot. The enemy is still frantically trying to patch the hole. Our task is to stop their attempts. It's even working out so far.
🟡Let's go ahead, clean up the liberated.
📌 Definitely, the enemy has developed a strategy for waging war until the end of the year, as long as the weather allows it to advance (approximately until winter). In short, to exhaust, to exhaust forces in endless deaf offensives. Please let them try. Our task is to smash the enemy's plans into smithereens and deliver a crushing blow. So far, it seems that we are missing something for this.
💬 My fellow scout "North" spoke about this as follows: "In my youth, after boxing competitions, as children we complained to the coach that the judges made the wrong decision in case of loss, we argued about our achievements.
🟡And the answer was always this: "If you think you won, but the referee raised his hand to the opponent, then you need to hit so that there are no questions."

📋 Two Majors #Summary for the Morning of 2 July 2024; pub. 06:56📍
🛡Last night, #Crimea once again repelled an AFU attack with Storm Shadow and Scalp Missiles.
💥In #Belgorod region, , mass power outages were reported, which, according to the official data, were caused by "external influence" (civilian agencies wording for sabotage and terrorist attacks beyond their competence). Russian major telegram channels reported several IEDs planted at substations, which may indicate enemy saboteurs, including from among combat agents on the ground.
🎯The RFAF launched a precision strike on the #Mirgorod Airfield, destroying 2 enemy Su-27 aircraft and disabling 4 others.
🔹In #Kharkov direction, the enemy is building up reserves near the #Glubokoye village. Heavy counter battles continue in #Volchansk. Fighters of the "North Group" repelled an AFU counterattack of up to 30 militants in the east of the town. According to our intelligence from the field, the AFU 57th Separate Motorised Infantry Brigade, has been returned to the front line separately, consolidated assault groups are being formed from their remnants.
🔹In the #Seversk sector, combat recon is under way north of the recently liberated #Razdolovka, and fighting ongoing for #Spornoye (⭐️recently taken by MoD).
🔹In #ChasovYar's eastern part, fighting continues. The enemy is solving the task of slowing down the Russian advance, saturates the western town part with personnel, and builds defences along the Seversky Donets-Donbass Canal.
🔹East of #Toretsk (#Dzerzhinsk), the Russian Army continues its assault operations. There is fighting in the area of #Kirovo, #Druzhba and #Shumy.
🔹West of #Avdeyevka, there is heavy fighting in the area of #Sokol. From #Netaylovo, the RFAF are constantly attacking in the area of #Karlovka, the AFU is resisting fiercely and bringing in reserves.
🔹In #Ugledar direction, fighting continues (https://t.me/two_majors/27041) for #Konstantinovka west of #Paraskoviyevka. 🎬👇
🔹On the #Zaporozhye front, the RFAF have decisively increased the strike intensity. MLRSs are operating on daily basis and "Solntsepyoks" are being used.
🔹In the #Kherson direction, the island zone assault is being carried out in difficult conditions: the problem is posed by enemy drones and, as it turns out, the lack of centralised supplies of small-sized watercraft. Ours travel on volunteer boats, as well as on watercraft abandoned by civilians. They also again reported a small allocation of artillery shells, while orders to hit identified targets are impossible to carry out. The number of targets and artillery ammo received per day is not compatible. “Beautiful reports” are coming again.
💥In #Belgorod region, civilians under Nazi attack. The village of Novaya Tavolzhanka in Shebekinsky urban district came under fire. 1 civilian was killed by a shell landing on the territory of an agricultural enterprise. In the evening in #Shebekino, 2 civilians suffered shrapnel wounds by a AFU drone strike. 7 civilians were injured by massive AFU shelling of #Belgorod and its district.
💥In the #Kursk region, the Sudzha Checkpoint, #Zayoleshenka, #Sverdlikovo, #Guyevo, #Gornal, #Oleshnya of the Sudzhansky district, #Tyotkino, #Krasnooktyabrsky, #Sergeyevka, #Vesyoloye, #Yelizavetovka of the Glushkovsky district, #Gordeyevka, #Byakhovo and #Viktorovka of Korenevsky district were shelled. Drone attacks were recorded in Sudzha town and near the village of #Kurilovka, Sudzhansky district, near the villages of Gorodishche and Novaya Nikolayevka, Rylsky district, the village of #Bogoslovka, Khomutovsky district, the villages of #Gordeyevka and #Uspenovka, Korenevsky district, and the Otruba Farm, Glushkovsky district.
🛡Electronic warfare means and small arms suppressed and destroyed 9 Ukrainian drones in the border areas over the day.
💥In the #DPR, as a result of artillery strikes by AFU Nazis against #Gorlovka and #Makeyevka, 1 civilian was killed and 5 wounded.
