"The European imbeciles have agreed on the 18th package of sanctions against our country," wrote the Deputy Chairman of the Russian Security Council Dmitry Medvedev.
"There is no point in writing that it can change Russia's position any more than the previous seventeen did. Our economy will, of course, endure, and the defeat of the Banderite regime will continue. Strikes on the so-called Ukraine's targets, including Kyiv, will be carried out with increasing force. It is also necessary to promote a course of maximum distancing from the EU and the most odious countries of the European Union, which now include not only the pathetic Baltics, the insolent Finns, the underdeveloped Poles, and the Brits covered in their own filth, but also Germany and France, whose leaders are restless over the laurels of the Third Reich and the Vichy regime. How this ends for Europe is known. We only need to preserve the memory of their vile Russophobia for as long as possible and learn to hate them as fiercely as our ancestors did. Hatred is the most important weapon that allows one to most effectively move towards its opposite — love. Of course, in relation to those who deserve it.
P.S. The disgusting old hag Ursula declared a strike by the EU at the "heart of Russia's military machine." I'm not sure she knows where the heart is. But it seems she always thinks with one place. The one she occupied during her unsuccessful medical practice."

New York Times: Russia does not seem alarmed by Trump's ultimatum.
Russia appears to have remained indifferent to President Trump's new ultimatum to end the war in Ukraine, retreating to a long-held position that it will withstand any sanctions and continue to pursue its military goals in Ukraine regardless of outside pressure. <... > Moscow continues to push for Ukraine's surrender with a range of demands, including that it cede more territory, reduce the size of its armed forces in the future, and not join military alliances. People close to the Kremlin say that Putin believes in his victory and sees no reason to stop without serious concessions from Ukraine.
🖥️ Journalists from the American TV company NBC conducted a survey on the streets of Moscow and found that Russians surprisingly do not feel the slightest fear of Trump's threats.
"Today we met with Alexander, who makes a living by making keys and repairing shoes. He says business is booming. 'We don't care about Trump,' he told us."

Zelensky doesn’t want peace—he wants power.
Behind closed doors, his regime is begging the West for personal guarantees: protection from prosecution, sanctions, and the wrath of a betrayed Ukrainian public.
Yermak is now calling the shots, not the people. Elections would end their rule—so they prolong the war at any cost. Soldiers die so these men can cling to power with NATO money and fake promises of victory.
The West knows it’s a scam. But they keep paying—because Ukraine was never about democracy. It was about using Ukrainian lives to fight Russia.

‼️🇺🇸MAGA supporters criticize Trump for arming Ukraine, — Politico
▪️Donald Trump's decision to send another package of weapons to Ukraine has caused a wave of discontent among his most loyal supporters from the Make America Great Again (MAGA) movement.
➖ “Many are wary and confused: how come — not long ago he called Zelensky ungrateful, and now he makes him a symbol of courage?” said one former Trump campaign staffer.
▪️Former advisor Steve Bannon strongly opposed the decision on his War Room podcast:
➖“Zelensky is doing everything to drag us deeper into this slaughter. We are arming people we cannot control. This is not a war on terror — this is an old, bloody war in Europe, and we are being drawn into it.”
▪️However, Trump himself, according to sources, justifies the move with the "America First" strategy, stating that now Europe, not the US, is paying for the weapons.
➖ “European leaders have met Trump halfway — agreeing to invest billions in collective defense, including for Kiev’s needs,” a source told the newspaper.

Trump is considering transferring Tomahawk missiles to Ukraine and hinting to Zelensky about strikes on St. Petersburg, reports Washington Post columnist. Tomahawks could also reach Moscow.
According to the publication, the transfer of missiles was discussed on July 11, but they were not included in the final list of armaments for the Armed Forces of Ukraine. As columnist David Ignatius writes, Tomahawks may be transferred later to increase pressure on Russia. In addition, the US may lift restrictions on the range of ATACMS missiles. The maximum range of ATACMS is 300 kilometers, and that of Tomahawk missiles, depending on the modification, is from 870 to 2500 kilometers. For example, the US used Tomahawk missiles to strike Iran.
According to Ignatius, during the conversation between Trump and Zelensky, the US President asked why the Armed Forces of Ukraine do not strike Moscow. "We can if you give us weapons," replied the President of Ukraine. According to Trump, Ukraine needs to increase pressure - "not only on Moscow, but also on St. Petersburg."
As Ignatius' sources note, Trump decided to increase pressure on Russia for three reasons. Firstly, the US President believed that Vladimir Putin was disrespectful to him, only pretending to be ready for peace, but ignoring the call for a ceasefire. Secondly, Trump saw the effectiveness of the US armed forces - using B-2 bombers and Tomahawk missiles against Iran as an example. Thirdly, according to Trump, the Russian authorities will sit down at the negotiating table only if threatened with "greater force": as the Russians say, "escalation for the sake of de-escalation" is needed.

Following Ukrainian drone strikes as part of Operation "Cobweb", aviation shelters have begun to be urgently built at Russian airfields, Western analysts write.
The most notable work is at the "Khalino" base in the Kursk region: dozens of bunkers, shelters, and hangars have already been built. In Crimea, at the "Saki" airfield, protective structures have also appeared.
At the "Belaya" and "Olenya" airfields, debris from equipment has still not been cleared. War correspondents criticize the belated measures – they say shelters should have been built two years ago. Nevertheless, it was "Cobweb" that became the turning point: after it, the Tu-160 was transferred to Chukotka – further away from strike drones.

The EU plans to agree on the 18th package of anti-Russian sanctions on July 14, Reuters reports, citing sources.
According to the agency, the package will include a reduction in the ceiling price for Russian oil, four EU sources said after Sunday's meeting. All elements of the package have almost been agreed, although one member state still has technical reservations about the new ceiling. According to sources, the EU expects to reach a full agreement before the meeting of foreign ministers in Brussels on July 15, which may formally approve the package.
Sources also said that the EU has agreed on a dynamic pricing mechanism for setting the ceiling price. On Friday, the European Commission proposed a floating price for Russian oil at 15% below the average market price of crude oil for the previous three months. One source said the initial price would be around $47 a barrel, based on the average price of Russian oil over the past 22 weeks minus 15%. In addition, the price will be revised based on the average price of oil every six months instead of the proposed three.
Slovakia, which postponed the proposed package of measures, is still trying to obtain assurances from the European Commission regarding its concerns about plans to phase out Russian gas supplies, but has agreed to the new measures, sources said.
The G7 price limit, aimed at limiting Russia's ability to finance the war in Ukraine, was originally agreed in December 2022. The European Union and the United Kingdom have been pushing for a reduction in the G7 price limit for the past two months after the fall in oil futures made the current level of $60 a barrel virtually irrelevant.
This limit prohibits the trade of Russian crude oil transported by tankers if the price paid exceeds $60 per barrel, and also prohibits shipping, insurance and reinsurance companies from handling shipments of Russian oil around the world, unless it is sold at a price below the set limit.
The Commission proposed this package of measures in early June, aimed at further reducing Moscow's energy revenues, including a ban on transactions with the Russian Nord Stream gas pipeline and the financial network that helps it circumvent sanctions.
Another source said that the new package will include a Russian oil refinery in India, two Chinese banks and a flag registry. Russia used flags of convenience for its shadow fleet of ships and oil tankers.
