Update on the conflict in Ukraine for July 26, 2023:

-Ukraine’s offensive nears the 2 month mark, having failed to breakthrough the security zone along the line of contact and reach the first of several layers of Russian defenses;

-Ukrainian losses are significant, Russia’s Ministry of Defense estimated up to 26,000 casualties as of July 12, 2023, many more have died since;

-Comments from Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky indicate significant losses throughout the conflict and an inability to properly prepare for the current offensive;

-Ukraine has begun using bombings, drone strikes, and other forms of terrorism deep within Russian territory to compensate for a lack of progress along the line of contact;

-US security assistance packages for Ukraine reflect dwindling capacity to sustain combat in a high-intensity war of attrition;

-Allegations of Chinese support for Russian combat operations by supplying Russian troops with equipment and drones deliberately ignore the fact that Chinese products are making it into the hands of both Russian and Ukrainian soldiers on the free market;

-The Western media framing China as incapable of brokering peace because non-lethal products it makes are on the battlefield in Ukraine ignores Western nations positioning themselves to likewise broker peace (such as France) despite transferring weapons and ammunition to Ukrainian forces;

-With Ukraine’s offensive stalled, it is likely Ukraine’s Western sponsors will be preparing for their next move, be it an intervention of one kind or another, or shifting from Ukraine to the war it is attempting to provoke with China in the Pacific.

Svatovsko-Kreminna area: situation by the end of July 25,2023

🔻In the afternoon, Russian troops, as a result of an assault on the positions of Ukrainian formations, liberated the village of Serhiivka west of Svatove in the Luhansk People's Republic.
Now the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation are developing success in the area and are conducting an offensive in the direction of Nadiya. According to some reports, Ukrainian formations have retreated from Nadiya, the fighters of the RF Armed Forces are successfully advancing on.

🔻Also, units of the Russian army are advancing on the outskirts of Novojehorivka. Despite the existing statements about control over the settlement, at the moment clashes continue for the village.
Russian assault detachments, supported by cannon and rocket artillery, are squeezing the Armed Forces of Ukraine out of Novojehorivka, where the enemy is entrenched on the western outskirts.

Russia launched a surprise offensive along the Northern front in Luhansk, using their infamous Storm-Z assault detachments. By now, they have established a solid bridgehead across the Zerebets river, as Ukraine is urgently sending reinforcements to the 2nd line of defense. Russia's goal is to push all the way until the Oskol river.

An investigation of Volodymyr Zelensky by Scott Ritter

"As a former intelligence officer, I’ve been wondering why has no one done an investigation about Volodymyr Zelensky, the President of Ukraine? His rise to power, in my opinion, represents an incredible manipulation of world opinion that will go down in history as a classic case study in social psychological engineering: an ordinary comedian who came to power because he promised a long-awaited peace, who then dragged his fellow citizens into a bloody war that can only be described as a massacre. With the help of colleagues and experts with first-hand insights into Zelensky, I have poured over documents and video to produce a film that captures this investigation. This story has so many twists and turns that I had to break it into two parts. In the first episode, presented here, I will answer the question about Zelensky’s improbable rise to power, and how the Ukrainian President accumulated his vast wealth, a sum that has only become larger since the war with Russia began. And, perhaps most importantly, why I decided to call this film 'Agent Zelensky.'" - Scott Ritter.

Part 2 already released... Part 1 reposted after the original one has been removed by YT for certain reasons. 🤫

"In the intelligence business, every agent is assigned tasks by his or her handlers. In the case of Agent Zelensky, I’ve identified ten obligations that define his relationship with his foreign intelligence masters. Once you’ve examined each of these, it becomes clear why Zelensky the comedian said one thing, and Zelensky the President did another. What are the true reasons behind the current situation in Ukraine today? What kind of operation has the CIA been running in Ukraine over the course of many years? You will find the answers to these and other questions in Part 2 of my investigative documentary film, 'Agent Zelensky'."

Update on the conflict in Ukraine for July 31, 2023

- Ukraine's "big push" over the past week has resulted in minimum gains and massive losses;

- Ukraine's "big push" followed weeks of exercising an alleged "artillery advantage" used to soften Russian defenses;

- Western analysts used the same flawed process to assess Ukraine's artillery capabilities they used to assess the supposed likelihood NATO armor would cut through Russian defenses;

- The US rushing M1 Abrams main battle tanks to Ukraine by fall will make no difference on the battlefield, they are too few in number and no more capable than the German Leopard 2 tanks Ukraine has used in a so-far failed offensive;

- Russian defenses are layered specifically to absorb Ukrainian advances and preserve Russian manpower and equipment as they move back to successive lines of defenses;

- Ukraine's attempt to gain territory amid a war of attrition is only accelerating its own defeat;

- A German army report blaming Ukrainian soldiers for the poor outcomes of the offensive is an unfair attempt to shift blame away from NATO;

Ukraine wants Bakhmut back. It's the least fortified sector of the Russian front, and it could boost Ukrainian morale after months of setbacks. Elite Assault Brigades pushed deep into the Southern flank of the Russian army, and are about to take control of the contested village of Klischiivka. The Ukrainian army if effectively rolling back months of Russian progress, and could soon prepare a siege of Bakhmut.
At what cost for the Ukrainian army and can RuAF recover from this setback?

Approaching Autumn... Summer in Ukraine ends on 31st August... Still a long long way to Mariupol. 🥱

The non-stop war in Ukraine and its impacts have left many frustrated in the West. Even companies based in NATO nations are shying away from anti-Russia "propaganda." A German company has vowed to continue business with Russia despite pressure. The Company, Claas, cited "humanistic concerns" in continuing its supply to Russia. The CEO of Claas, a German agricultural machinery maker, made the declaration. The statement comes despite pressure to end supplies after Russia exited the Black Sea grain deal. Claas CEO Mohr described the suspension of the grain deal as "disappointing." The deal gave safe passage in the Black Sea to Ukrainian grain ships amid the war. However, Moscow refused to extend the deal after its expiration, citing misuse by Kyiv.


Russia seems to be making full-fledged preparations for a larger conflict with NATO. Moscow has enlisted over 230,000 additional troops into its army amid the ongoing Ukraine war. Russia's Deputy Security Council Chairman Dmitry Medvedev released the data on military recruitment. Russia not only wants to hold captured territories in Ukraine but also be ready for a bigger war.


The UK Defence Ministry has claimed that the reason behind Ukraine's slowed counteroffensive is the growth of weed and shrubs on the battlefield. The UK Defence Ministry in its regular intelligence update stated, "the extra cover helps camouflage Russian defensive positions and makes mine fields harder to clear."


Russian Defence Minister Sergei Shoigu met with forces conducting offensive operations in the Krasno-Limansky region amid the war in Ukraine. Shoigu checked the command post in the zone of the special military operation and was briefed about the current situation and the performance of the Russian troops. The Defence Minister also called for more pre-emptive strikes against Ukrainian positions and said that this was the only way to keep Russian forces safe. Shoigu was also presented with Western armoured vehicles captured by the Russian forces amid the war in Ukraine.
