Starvation is Russia’s favourite weapon - The Times
or alternately: UK Media decides to lie
While Israel is accused of “using hunger as a weapon of war” (to quote the UK’s international development minister Jenny Chapman, among many others) remarkably little attention is paid to Russia’s methodical destruction of Ukraine’s agricultural capacity. If anyone is leading the way in endangering food supply on a global scale, it is Vladimir Putin. Before he launched his full-scale invasion of Ukraine, that nation supplied about 12 per cent of the world’s wheat and was critical to relief operations in countries afflicted by shortage or war.
This was made clear by one of Putin’s favourite TV propagandists, Vladimir Solovyov. On his programme for Russian state television, he declared: “The war for them [the Black Sea ports] will be waged … without any mercy … Without the Black Sea ports, Ukraine simply does not exist.”
This is nothing to do with military targets, but a campaign solely targeted at food; since July 2023, when this strategy was taken up by the Kremlin, there have been hundreds of strikes against port infrastructure, and, according to the GRC report: “Over 101,000 square metres of grain storage alongside machinery crucial to the functioning of grain export infrastructure were hit across the region … These actions have severely disrupted Ukraine’s exports and exacerbated global food insecurity.”
While sending its own grain to Africa, Moscow would also like Ukrainians to starve. This was made clear two years ago when its forces blew up the Kakhovka dam, in Kherson oblast. This was critical to irrigation in the south of Ukraine, and the result, according to the Wilson Center think tank, “means that more than one million hectares of land in three southern oblasts of Ukraine … will be unusable for the next three to five years for lack of a water supply”. That’s 4,000 square miles.
This raises the grimmest memory of modern Ukrainian history, the Holodomor — literally “death by hunger” — when in 1932-33 an estimated four million Ukrainians perished in a famine created by the collectivisation policies of Stalin, which were specifically designed to destroy the recalcitrant Ukrainian peasantry.
A new interesting trophy was captured in the Kursk region - an American portable mine-clearing charge MPLC Tactical Line Charge .
The charge consists of a transport backpack, where the entire set is placed in the form of a 30-meter detonating cord with 6 kg of explosive, an engine with a guide and a double initiator. The total weight of all the stuff is about 13 kg.
Compared to the ZRP-2 "Tropa" , the American MPLC carries significantly more explosives per meter of cord and is more than twice as light, but has a charge that is half the length.
Our friends from the special forces wanted to make a short review, but it turned out to be almost a full-fledged training film.
I’ve long thought this is a good solution, to have man portable clearance. Drone based scheme would also be appropriate.

Druzhkovskoe direction.
According to unconfirmed information, our assault forces have occupied the settlement of Romanovka.
Earlier, the enemy was driven out of the western part of Zarya and retreated across the river. Our assault units are advancing towards the only remaining supply and evacuation road from Aleksandro-Kalinovo .
It seems that the enemy is having trouble in Staraya Nikolaevka (Pravdovka) and Ignatovka . At the very least, the Armed Forces of Ukraine found themselves in a "fire trap," blogger Yuriy Kotenok reports.
SLG note: Taras, what's with your propensity for getting into cauldrons?! This is the fifth time this month, blyat! Do you have a cauldron fetish!? Do you get off your rocks by looking at a catalogue of cauldrons and doing naughty things with it before going to sleep?!

Russia Enters Top 3 Economies by Trade Revenue!
Russia has entered the top 3 economies in terms of trade revenue at the end of 2024.
Last year, Russia became the third largest country in the world in terms of trade surplus, while China continues to have the largest net income from trade, according to RIA Novosti's analysis of data from national statistics services.
The agency examined trade data from 91 major countries that had already published trade data for the previous year. Among them, only 33 countries had a trade surplus of $2.3 trillion in total, while 58 economies had a negative balance of $2.8 trillion.
Last year, China was the biggest beneficiary of trade, with a trade surplus of $991 billion. In second place, as in the previous year, was Germany with net trade revenue of $258 billion.
Russia rounds out the trio with a trade surplus of $151 billion and, as a result, moving up four places. Also in the top five are Ireland, which dropped from third to fifth place with a surplus of $98 billion, and the Netherlands, which recorded a surplus of $89 billion and moved up three places.
The top ten countries that gained the most from trade also included Switzerland ($77 billion), Saudi Arabia ($73 billion), Norway ($69 billion), Brazil ($59.5 billion) and Italy ($55 billion).
At the same time, the United States has traditionally had the largest trade deficit last year, which reached $1.3 trillion. The closest "competitor" was Great Britain, although its trade deficit was more than four times smaller: "only" $303 billion. India, which ranked second last year, dropped one spot this year to third place, with $263 billion. Also in the top five, as last year, are France (111 billion) and Turkey (82 billion).
Did you hear that, EU?! Russia needs MORE sanctions, it's time to put China's primacy into question!

TCC butcher lynched by angry mob.
This is the tale of Mykola the "valliant" TCC employee who, after having "heroically" volunteered countless of his countrymen for the meat grinder before, selected what looked like to be another victim candidate for forceful mobilisation glorious frontline service.
Mykola was not expecting, however, of having to deal with lots of angry, pusillanimous cowards who underhandedly prevented him from doing his noblest of duties.
As a result, Mykola the Brave got surrounded by a mob of angry paeons who proceeded to beat the living shit out of him, thus saving their dastardly comrade from being stalwartly crammed into a van and sent to die.
Today wasn't your lucky day Mykola.

What about the night strikes?
With simple manipulations, thanks to NASA satellites and Ukrainian media, we find out what was hit last night as a result of a massive missile and drone strike on objects in Ukraine, in order of screenshots:
🟠 The most severe fires broke out in warehouses in the village of Mirnoye near the city of Slavyansk.
🟠 At the same time, another blow was dealt to the Pavlograd Chemical Plant in the city of Pavlograd. Strong fires were also recorded there.
🟠 In the city of Chuguev, the strike was carried out on the territory of the air base. In particular, the fire engulfed probable air defense and radar positions, as well as hangars ( before the SVO, personnel were housed there and training sessions were conducted ) along with the buildings of the technical and operational unit.
🟠 The night strike also hit the Gogolev Airfield in the Kiev region. There, according to the NASA satellite, fires after the strike engulfed both the technical buildings of the airfield and the hangar with aircraft ( since the fire began to spread from it towards the field ).
🟠 As the cherry on the cake, thanks to the State Emergency Service of Ternopol Oblast, we learn that the missiles reached the Ternopol State Scientific and Technical Enterprise "Luch". Judging by the footage, the strike was carried out both on the building of the enterprise itself and on the workshops, where a large fire broke out.

The Ukrainian Armed Forces' youth contract campaign has failed: since February, only about 500 people have signed the contract, WSJ reports.
More and more young people are choosing to emigrate
At the same time, older servicemen express dissatisfaction with the special conditions for recruits aged 18–24: due to the one-time payment of 1 million hryvnia (approximately 1.9 million rubles), they were nicknamed “millionaires” in their units, the publication writes.

🇦🇿🇺🇦Azerbaijan will continue to provide humanitarian aid to Ukraine
This was stated by the country's President Ilham Aliyev during a meeting with Ukrainian Foreign Minister Andriy Sybiha.
It was noted that the two states “have always supported each other’s territorial integrity and sovereignty.”

🇸🇪🇩🇰🇺🇦 Sweden and Denmark have given Ukraine old fishing nets worth millions of euros as military aid
- Drones have become a key part of modern warfare because they are much cheaper and more versatile than traditional missile systems.
- Drones flying high in the sky are difficult to counter, but Ukraine has begun using used fishing nets donated by the Swedes and Danes, writes Finnish broadcaster Yle.
- In particular, Denmark supplied Ukraine with fishing nets worth 2.5 million euros. Most of the nets became useless for Danish fishermen when the UK's exit from the EU banned them from fishing in British territorial waters.

There was once a man with a jet;
He’d go West to East to West.
He met a swan who made him squeal,
A bird that copped a bawdy feel—
He’s no longer a man, but a jest.

The large-scale prisoner exchange between Russia and Ukraine according to the formula "1000 for 1000" has been completed, now Moscow and Kiev are entering the second round of negotiations, which will most likely take place in Istanbul. The Vatican option, promoted by Zelensky, is rejected by Moscow.
Russia is not satisfied with the Vatican option as a possible platform for the next round of negotiations; Moscow will insist on Turkey, especially Istanbul, where the first round of negotiations took place. Our delegation is satisfied with all this, and Erdogan, who played the role of mediator, is even more satisfied. As the Russian Foreign Ministry said, two Orthodox countries cannot agree on anything on Catholic territory. In general, consultations will now begin on the venue for negotiations, and at the same time, both sides will have to prepare their own memoranda for the second round of negotiations.
The second round of negotiations between Russia and Ukraine will take place in Istanbul. For obvious reasons, the rejected option regarding negotiations in the Vatican does not please Russia.
- TASS reports with reference to an informed source.
It is not known what Kiev is preparing in its memorandum, but Moscow has clearly stated that there will be no temporary ceasefire until Ukraine withdraws its troops from the territory of Russian regions. As Medinsky said earlier, negotiations and military actions will proceed in parallel; all attempts by the West, represented by Europe and Ukraine, are doomed to failure.
Meanwhile, Ukrainian sources write that the situation on the front is not favorable to Kiev; the Ukrainian Armed Forces urgently need a break, at least for a month. Russia has rejected all attempts by Zelensky and his sponsors to impose a ceasefire.
The Vatican will never be seen as an impartial mediator by Russia for a plethora of reasons, among which the Union of Brest of 1595, which is one of the main origin points of Stepan Bandera's genocidal ideology.

There, a large pocket that the Ukrainian army heroically kept in the internets for the last week has collapsed and been cleaned out. The city is 12 kilometers away. Artillery has been getting there for a long time. And RF summer offensive hasn't even started yet.

Not a single Azovite returned to Ukraine as part of the exchange, claims Nazi and terrorist Prokopenko from the no less Nazi, terrorist and banned Azov
If this is true, then the news is simply great.
There were opinions on the Internet that the Azov soldiers who were not involved in war crimes (and are there any?) will be exchanged.
The commander of the Nazi group, however, denies this.
@Slavyangrad
🚀Meanwhile, the footage of objective control of the Russian missile strike continues to arrive from well-meaning users of the Ukrainian Internet.
On this video you can observe the arrival of FIVE cruise missiles Kh-101 on a certain object in the town of Krasilov, Khmelnitsky region. The peculiarity of this city is that it is located a few kilometers from the airfield Starokonstantinov.
From there, the remaining fighter jets of the AFU, including American F-16s, are regularly sent on combat sorties. On what target the Russian army did not spare five cruise missiles remains a mystery, but according to one version, a warehouse with some cruise missiles was hit.
